ALPHA ROLLOUT STATUS

Let us test it for you!

Seriously though I understand why you guys are delaying it to get some of those last minute kinks out. That being said, I think those of us who paid almost $100 to test the game in a very early state understand what we are getting into here. Releasing the alpha with these bugs is completely acceptable if you state known issues and say you are working on it.

The more people are testing and providing feedback on these forums, the better.

Just my two cents from years as a Quality Assurance Engineer.

Trust me there will be plenty of bugs and issues. It's just that if we know it's going to fall over we should fix it first.

Basically if we can internally generate more bugs than we have time to fix then bug reports don't help all that much.

Anyway, interesting experiment in game development coming real soon

And, he throws gas on the fire.

They are just messing with us now. So much teasing!!

Can't wait!

So is before eternity an accurate estimate?

i'm so good at breaking things that i've broken the DVCS that was supposed to serve the other thing i was going to break. :?

Oh no... I've started the F5 spam...

Every F5, there is a new post from this topic. But mostly from members talking about waiting on posts.

Neutrinos posts are being drowned

every time you f5, Uber finds another BSOD :twisted:

I can see the next day after the first night of Alpha release:

neutrino: "Just looking at the first bug report. It says '168 ways I broke PA in the first hour'.
garat: "Wow! I guess there is even more bugs than we thought. How many bug reports are there?"
neutrino: "2000 more, just like it"
garat: "Uh-oh..."
newtrino: "So, think you can have all the bugs fixed by this afternoon?"
garat: (silent with a look of fear on his face)

Why would you...?! AAAAAAHHH!

Oh you're evil!

*cough* ahem...

Bah.. I never look scared. I just grab more scotch.

That is the right response!

I'm pretty calm right now even though im kinda pissed inside because knowing the devs they're setting us up for whats to come tomorrow afternoon, probably right before they all go home. Garat, if you're reading this, then PROVE. ME. WRONG.

mmmmm hmmmm....that's what I thought

Are you trying to get the banhammer? ;-) Don't mess with me, son. I'm making builds.

can we get a t-shirt of that? Don't mess with me, son. I'm making builds.

and....He knows even more gas on the fire.

Damn straight. Real devs make estimates in proofs, shots, and pints.
