News Elite Dangerous: The Commanders (2.3) beta

It's not coming today, is it? :(

FD are certainly working hard on getting it out today and I am sure Ed is running about just waiting for the nod to announce the release.

But I wouldn't be surprised if it is delayed further .. keep your fingers crossed.

Man I feel for Ed if he has to announce that the Beta is delayed again!

I don't think they will announce anything as they have delayed it indefinitely. That is to say they will only make an announcement once they have this issue sorted out.
 
I really think that it´s not coming out today...

There really seems to be a BIG problem with the multicrew feature, as was demonstrated in the live stream, which they underestimated.

I think we can be lucky if it´s coming out this week at all!

I am really curious how long the beta will last, as this seems to big the biggest challenge FD have faced since launch so far.
 
If it's coming out at all, it'll be after six, to take account of most time zones. That's usually how Valve does it for Steam updates and releases.

FD have never taken other time zones into account with any of their releases .. It will come when it's ready.

I have a feeling that FD will make some kind of announcement today even if that announcement is "2.3 is delayed indefinitely" (as they haven't actually said that yet AFAIK)
 
I specifically took off from work on Monday and Tuesday. No beta release!

Of course, I always take off from work on Monday and Tuesday because I work the weekend, so ...
 
All these quality first excuses are somewhat alibistic. We all know we´re going to wait for the full release at least a month while all the bugz are fixed. So whats the big deal, give us the beta now, we expect it to be buggy. I already wasted two days of my vacation you know? :)
 
It's only really of concern to those with beta access, anyway. The rest of us won't obtain it for a good few weeks.

Well, I have beta access and it's no real concern for me.

There is a difference between bugy and unplayable. I have to assume it is something pretty major otherwise they would have released it.

The idea is they release something and we find the bugs in it. Absolutely no point in giving us something with bugs they already know about.

It's definitely something major. Not "some green lasers not displayed in green". It's a bug that is (more or less) game breaking and would hinder beta testers from testing.
My bets are on disonnecting errors or something alike (as using the NPC SLF in the live stream causing a connection loss).

Nah. It's the hair on the Avatars. They're gonna have to make us all bald after all :)
