» Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:08 pm just by looking at this forum there are tonnes of threads saying how buggy and unplayable the game is and how they need to delay the launch. and I think you all need to calm down, take a breath, and look at what we know.
first off, the previous 2/3 betas have been primarily stress tests, or stress tests entirely on an old build. before you go off on a rant about how im just saying that and nobody knows, read the rest.

here is a screenshot of a paragraph from the recent betas patch notes, which you were supposed to read if you could. now its fine if you couldn't access them, but now you can see it so stop complaining about it being unfinished. I want to point the "We have a more recent build on our closed beta server". this specifically means that we're playing an old build.
now a common question, "why would they give us an old build? thats bad for marketing"
THIS ISN'T FOR MARKETING. we are specifically testing how much the server can take and helping them improve it so it doesn't up and die for launch. we're not testing content, and we're not bug-finding. that is left entirely for the PTS server. and anyone that saw the patch notes for the aforementioned V0.18 know that the amount of changes they have made from our build to theirs is Staggering. I can almost guarantee that most if not all the bugs you guys are complaining about will be gone.
which leaves me to my next point, not only does that comment prove that we were playing an old build, it means we will be playing a beta on the new build soon. so if you could all reserve your comments on whether the game is ready for launch until we play that build that would be great. now if that build is still a buggy mess, than its a cause for concern. but I think we all need to calm down and reserve judgment until the end of the next beta.
also as to how well the stress testing was going, there was a few million last beta, as opposed to roughly 4.4 million this beta. and anyone that was playing the disaster called cyrodiil last time with its 15+ queues and long load screens/crashes of death know just how well they are doing, since the biggest connectivity problem was lagging in cyrodiil with high numbers.
so yeah, in conclusion, we were playing an old build with no changes to anything but the server, and stress tests are going well. so if you want to complain wait until we play the most recent build to find something to legitimately complain about. until then, please be quiet about the bugs.
