What's Your Alpha Date Prediction?

Amongst all of the (mostly) good discussion going on in here. Lets have a good old fashioned guessing game where it's pure speculation. Back it up with whatever wild facts you want! I'll keep a list of who guesses what date and we'll see who's right when Alpha gets released! (and I'll update who's wrong as their dates pass with no sign of Alpha)

Twenty internets to the winner!
And may the odds be ever in your favor


I say it's going to be march 25. Mainly because I'm hopeful and want to start playing it soon. And I assume it'll be on a Monday for no good reason.

Other notes:
BulletMagnet says Uber releases patches at "the end of the week"
djunreal counters with "never buy anything on a Friday", so a random Monday

LATEST EDIT: I put in Red everyone who definitely wont win. I'll accept a small chance they go into early june. But hopefully late may!

Honestly? Right around E3. Game move's to beta/launch(ish) around PAX Prime.

can we consider this message as an official announcement, since you are moderator??

PA will also have always online DRM and micro-transaction hats for commanders.

and that makes me a troll sorry.

Welp. A global mod said it, so it MUST be true.

Get your idle servers ready!

dont hit, im dead. it is 4:50 a.m. that must be the reason i understood like the moderator works at uber.

Welp, time to start seeding those cracked .exe torrents!

April 16th

I really need the 20 internets...

When it's ready.

Mike

What date will it be ready on?

You can't just Pick a date for something to be ready, it's impossible to predict what issues will come up that could delay progress, or what things could go well that'd speed things up(but things going wrong is much, much more likely) and having a huge focus of meeting a set date above all else is bad news, think about how many games you've played on or shortly after release, and you think "Man, if only that had more time to fix things or polish things up", those kinds of experiences are exactly what happens when workign with set dates like that.

When the Alpha is ready for 'public' participation, Uber will send out the invites, no sooner than that.

Mike

I'm just a SUPER FAN!

My predictions were serious though. I have a knack for these things!

I think you are taking this thread way too serious


1 May.

That's also my birthday. I really wish for it to be earlier, but if it is not I will at least have the best guess so far. xD

Mike these have nothing to do with asking for it, its just meaningless guessing for the sake of funsies.


I say May 10th for no reason!

Hey now, I was asked to explain, so I did.

Mike

Nope, you were asked to participate in the game and have a guess.

My guess would be: April 1. It'll be the best April Fool's Day ever.

It's tomorrow, provided that you read this post the day before it gets released.

11 april, just because its my birthday day.

13 march, because that's tomorrow
