Horizons When does the beta testing finish?

G'day all,
when does the beta testing finish and when can we expect to start playing the new update please?

yours aye

Well. I'm guessing tomorrow (Wednesday), others think there is beta 8 coming first.
.

Nope. Nothing happening this week.

As was said the big BETA BLOWOUT is happening this weekend, so no release is going to happen until at least next week. And considering we are still seeing a lot of mission bugs in the Passenger Missions that really should be sorted out before 2.2 hits the live servers, I wouldn't rule out a Beta 8 before all is said and done.

So... Don't even start looking for 2.2 on the live servers until next Tuesday at the earliest, and possibly a week from Tuesday.
 
I think the update should be a month from now BECAUSE I just had to RMA my R9 390 (overheating up to 100 C and running 84 + C for long periods of time)[cry] while in game. And my back up card doesn't have the juice to run ED. Plus I ordered a new case to replace my rather dated mid tower.

If I can't fly the new stuff, no one else should:mad:.

And my monitor died, (good-by Samsung Syncmaster, 9 yoa, hello BenQ XL2730). And my lawn mower died, 12 yoa, R.I.P., crapped its transaxle. And my dog died[ugh]. OK, I don't have a dog, but everything else is true.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it better buy me a new lawn mower!!!

Sorry about the EMP pulse... :D I wondered what it did.

I hope they fix the mission board and the zero timer issue. Otherwise it is ready IMHO. Disclaimer: I do not have the Beta.
 
Pretty much irrelevant, given the fact that trivial bugs like the 0.0 timer bug (bonus delivery) from early Beta 2.1(!) are still in regardless of being reported for the umpteenth time and most likely be seen in 2.2 as well (bets are still accepted :D). So why not just releasing now, all these minor and major bugs will be in anyway, no matter of the release being next Tuesday or tomorrow.

Sorry if that sounds a bit depressive, but I just can't ignore my experiences from the past and I really want that update NOW. [where is it]

Some of these bugs are anything but trivial.
 
OP, We have been "Beta Testing" from the day Elite Dangerous was released!!! :) An it will continue for the next few years. (I Hope)
