Id like to thank anyone who ordered via my link, ive just made a couple of people five pounds each and me a tenner =]

21:45 - [TW]Yoshiro: There seems to be a new effort
21:45 - [TW]Yoshiro: to make me say a particular word in chat
21:46 - [TW]Yoshiro: I am afraid I will have to leave fans of the word sad
21:46 - [TW]Yoshiro: because I won't say it
21:47 - [TW]Yoshiro: But I will say that you should save the tatats

Donate today
21:47 - [TW]Yoshiro: it is a wonderful cause
21:48 - [TW]Yoshiro: As for an ETA
21:48 - [TW]Yoshiro: on the beta
21:48 - [TW]Yoshiro: It is an unknown unknown
21:48 - [TW]Yoshiro: lots of things can happen between building the final build, uploading, talking with valve to release it
21:49 - [TW]Yoshiro: that can cause problems
21:49 - [TW]Yoshiro: but as of now we are still on for Today in Tripwire time and space
21:49 - [TW]Yoshiro: which is the only time and space that matter

So only the Dip Chewing, Toothless Inbred Hill Billys of Atlanta matter apparently.

I find it quite a good balance between fun and realism.

I have been playing tf2 almost exclusively up until lately when I finally got bored of it. Found RO1 to be a breath of fresh air, really enjoying playing the first game currently.

Digital Deluxe buyers have access to the beta currently.

Server system specs are high, especially for 64 players. Almost similar to BF3 requirements. :eek:

Gerard · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:19

Cant even get into the chat room, seems to have 1000 fanboys fapping furiously in it for the last lot of hours. :eek:

Must be chaffing to the extent of blood loss by now.

gropingmantis · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:32

So I heard beta starts tomorrow for us Deluxe players. Does that mean midnight tonight or tomorrow at a random time?

God knows, it all seems incredibly unorganised with them scrambling to get a beta candidate uploaded.

[TW]Yoshiro: Ok
[TW]Yoshiro: time for another update
[TW]Yoshiro: the bad news, is there is no "new" news yet
[TW]Yoshiro: we are still working hard to get the beta out today
[TW]Yoshiro: Today being in the Tripwire time zone of awesomeness < Banjo Twanging Central

Creelers · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:41

It'll be sometime after midnight for us. ¬_¬

Gerard · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:44

[TW]Yoshiro: To clear up some confusion
[TW]Yoshiro: today is our goal
[TW]Yoshiro: and we are working hard to meet it for the beta release
[TW]Yoshiro: however bad things can and do happen while the development process is occuring
[TW]Yoshiro: if we feel the beta won't make it today we will make an announcment on that as soon as we know
[TW]Yoshiro: but as of right now we are still shooting for today

gropingmantis · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:45

Well there isn't a lot of today left!

Gerard · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:47

Today being Hick Central time, apparently thats the only time zone that matters according to them.

Looking forward to trying this in eyefinity, should tear through it no probs.

Gerard · 31 Aug 2011 at 00:02

[TW]Yoshiro: the beta will feature 3 maps
[TW]Yoshiro: in all of their game modes
[TW]Yoshiro: Apartments in TE/CD/FF
[TW]Yoshiro: Fallen Fighters in TE/CD
[TW]Yoshiro: and GUmrak in TE/CD
[TW]Yoshiro: Apartments is infantry only (and the remake of the original Danzig)
[TW]Yoshiro: FallenFighters is a combined arms map in the famed Red Square
[TW]Yoshiro: and Gumrak is a tank only battle in the fields outside the city centered around an airstrip
[TW]Yoshiro: All the base weapons will be in game
[TW]Yoshiro: and all classes
[TW]Yoshiro: as the beta goes on we might switch out maps and turn on other functionality to test it
[TW]Yoshiro: not every bit of gameplay will be final
[TW]Yoshiro: we are still tweaking some things
[TW]Yoshiro: And the best thing you can do in the beta is report bugs and reproductions of them that a sleep deprived coder can understand. They have to be very basic steps that anybody could follow to reproduce the issue
[TW]Yoshiro: We have about 150 dedicated servers running for the beta
[TW]Yoshiro: and that number is going up as GSPs/Clans/Communities bring their servers online
[TW]Yoshiro: And once again, for those who experience the server browser showing them 0 servers
[TW]Yoshiro: follow the instructions in this steam support article as a work around: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=57582
[TW]Yoshiro: we are working to address the issue with valve

mushroomsoup · 31 Aug 2011 at 00:19

i think i'll call it a night. considering they have 5/6 hours left until the end of 'today'... its only a beta - and it'll be there tomorrow when I get home...

ohhh i am looking foward to it though!!! i'm tempted to get up extra early and see if i can get my hands on it before work...

I've seen something similar being posted on multiple forums (and at least hourly, as various timezones approach midnight). Do people actually think THEIR timezone should matter more to developers who live and work in a different continent entirely?

And the whole timezone debacle is meaningless anyway. The beta won't suddenly materialize seconds before midnight Tripwire time. It's ready when it's ready regardless of what time it is. It's a different matter if they specifically say for example "in two hours". That would be solid piece of information and probably a decent estimate. But 30th was a target date set week ago and they specifically mentioned that it's not guaranteed by any means although they have been posting updates today and there's still a chance of it being released sometime soon. Or tomorrow.

Don't really care to be honest, was just the way it was put that came across that was a bit annoying.
