COUNTDOWN TO THE BETA

[Factabulous]

Since this is a global game, the patch notes could be posted at 11am and 2pm and probably midnight - somewhere

We're working with UTC - or 'game time' (Well, GMT, but it's similar )

Your honour - I cal to the bar the 3.0 Beta patch notes, published before 11am! https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/401680-3-0-Open-Beta-Patch-Notes

I think the beta last time was live earlier as well - but you are right, don't take the day off work

I do hope Will / undefined underling types them out the day before as they are going to be......extensive.

Beta notes can be measured in mugs of tea (Mt). Will Mt be > 2, carrying the biscuit remainder?

If you do, bring snacks

Popcorn is best - as it is dual purpose in the context of a Beta drop....

.... especially after the patch notes are posted.

That's more like it. I was getting a bit concerned about all this good experience accumulated over Beeta drops. "How they release, when the notes will be out what to do, what not to do", good grief! Bring back the good ole days. Panic, confusion and the tap tap tapping of F5 refresh is what we want!

I called it that once.... My wife thought I was talking about African time...

Inevitable the first days.

When I realize it's still not Tuesday yet.

 

[S3B4ST13N]

Wowzers, it's only 3 days? I admit I completely forgot that the 30th is coming so soon

Fun fact... it's tomorrow.

I'm overcome with a modicum of optimism and mild levels of excitement that are slightly above the annual average!

Steady on there!

There are Mods who may ban you for such language!

Edited the title to keep it more relevant.

 

[Factabulous]

Hey mods - can you change the thread title, since the OP doesn't seem to care about when the beta actually is

Damn those mods are fast

 

[Bigmaec]

Nice. Quick. And full of Caps. I blame TJ
