Monday (today) is a holiday in England.
Tuesday is a good day for a patch or upgrade, So I'm going to go with tomorrow.

Didn't know today was a holiday...good to know. That somewhat changes my projections since they might need a "prepday" or two before launching it, but we can always hope they prepped most of it before the weekend!

I broke it.....
I'm going to go for Thursday, though I'd be delighted to be wrong and beta release is Tuesday.

@Tinamnn: Finally an useful application of technology that frees people from repetitive tasks! The world NEEDS this!
Regarding the launch date: As there will be another live-stream at Tuesday, I don't expect it to launch at this day. Thursday I would hope, but then, FD as an unfortunate history of launching at Fridays... which is horrible for the staff (IMO), as it enforces weekend-work to patch the show-stopping bugs.

Although...we don't really know when they were taken. Would not be the first time FD have shown screenshots/concept of things in a WIP state and then release the build just afterwards anyway.

Can't we just copy/paste the last 'waiting for beta launch' thread so we can all get on with A/ Our lives and B/ The live game.
Crazytalk!
This is part of the fun!!!

They can always have a livestream running as a way to keep us occupied while downloading the client (and getting the servers ready) though, but the fact that today is a holiday makes it more plausible with a Thursday launch.

"We interupt this hype train for a British Bank Holiday. Normal service will be resumed when the office reopens after the holiday"
Let's just hope for the beta there is a fast-track way to bypass all the engineer reputations and missions. While that is important to test, even more important in my view is the actual modifications themselves, and all of them should be thoroughly. Don't want to have some obscure modification discovered later that turns out utterly OP, or have people grind their behinds off for a rare modification that barely does anything at all.
Just look at how PP equipment turned out: some of it were mostly plain upgrades (e.g Imperial Hammer, Prismatic Shields), other's basically useless (the mining laser, the heat beam).
Assuming FD are set on this course for engineer mods = play lottery until A+ gear falls out, at least all upgrades should actually be useful, but at the same time none so overpowered that they make any other upgrade choice obsolete.

The Engineers have nothing I need so the update can take as long as it likes lol

Hmmmmm.... Wonder why they moved the stream forward from thursday to tuesday?
** HYPE Train at platform 12 **
Maybe they will be playing the Beta on tuesday

Friday around 18:00, for no reason other than because that'll be totally an FD thing to do. But they moved the stream a day earlier, so maybe thats a clue...
Somewhat ironically I am back to work after half a year of sick leave, so its "too late" regardless.
