First off you have time zones, and time differences. Also not everyone from EVE Online, or those who later got a pass, or even those of us purchased the mercenary pack on PSN are going to be able to get online whenever we want. I was able to play during that time, but so what? You still have to account for everyday life, and other variables. To note that is usually a time when most people are either heading out for the evening, starting to get ready for dinner, or just getting home from usually work. Also having a solid thousand plus on any given moment with who knows how many individual ID's logging on and rotating is astounding for a [beta] that is actually in closed testing. The stress test was a success. Stop and think people before you speak. It also proved though that CCP needs to work on some server side issues. Unless the next build has better resource managment. The lag at peak was increasingly getting worse, and Dust client issues were becoming issues for a lot of people. Myself included.

Seriously though. A solid thousand on with -- "X" -- number of rotating individual ID's in between is amazing when if only ten thousand people can only access the [beta]. Seriously some of you need to curt-tail your expactations. Let me explain though. Here is an example: Call of Duty -- Insert title -- sells "X" number of units in millions in the first month. You still will never see even a million of those units on at once even given that they sold, and are out there, and playing at once even knowing that on one platform alone you may have millions of units sold. Variables. You have to account for them, and unfortuntly life is fickle. The smallest number to have to account for are those who got bored, or those whom thought this title would be to their liking, but ended up not being as such.

So yes, the stress test was a sucess. Even with only a thousand plus of us on.

You must be the Poster boy for EveTARDS Everywhere

1. 1000 people isnt good espically when CCP is advertising people to come play with free skill points
2. IT A STRESS TEST and 1000 ppl cannot stress DUST 514 with the # of severs we have
3. You have no stastics let alone proof of this account circulation, anyways, CPP was stressing the game play, so your point isnt even vaild

From my understanding of the DUST 514 newsletter, CCP wanted to get as many people as possible into the BETA in order to stress test there multiple severs. They even made a in game incentive to show up for the event 1 000 000 sp RESULTS At the peak there was about 1500 people and this is a big stretch Over 10 000 all time beta passes where handed out + gods knows how many temporary passes, and the best we got 1500 people So CCP do you really think your severs got stress tested to full capacity????

There is a little hard core of testers left, who are trying to get into Proto gear to try that out. All the casual players tried it, most liked it, but got bored of playing the same little map over and over again. And I guess most of those 10.000 beta keys have expired, they were limited keys if I recall.

Its like a girl with wooden leg complete turn-off we eve players collect corpses, so a woman with a wooden leg, thats a good 30 billion isk, a rare item in eve lol 1500 players, thats good. i can remember eve online having a max 10,000 PCU now it has what 60,000+. over in eve ccp have a test server ( a mirror copy of the eve universe ) when we do test days we can get a max 1000+ , roughly the same as dust, but those tests results give ccp a huge window into how players affect server. we make choices a very clever AI could not, spur of the moment stuff. dust is the same those 1500 people were doing different things, not all just primary on a single target, but multi mini skirmish battles. it all adds up to informative data for ccp. if they scale up that 1500 and also scale the outcome those players had on servers they get a rough idea of what the dust servers can handle, and where possible bottlenecks/upgrades may lay. more players when beta first released, there is a saying for this " the brian cox" syndrome something cool comes along and bam everyone wants a piece, those avid enough will stay around, those others play a few times and move on.

Maybe I wasn't on the forums enough to notice but just thinking back to the 1million kill event 2 weeks ago everyone was really gung-ho about it. I did manage to get on and get my buds playing a game or 2 to qualify. Happy to do my part, but I didn't hear about the event until saturday.

My beta ends today iirc and it would of been to nice to play with some of my friends.

You have no stastics let alone proof of this account circulation, anyways, CPP was stressing the game play, so your point isnt even vaild You ma'am are infentile ignoramus. Especially considering you do not seem to have even a basic understanding of just about anything. Calling me an EVEtard? Really?! Like I am hurt by that. Especially since I do not play EVE Online. Wow. Amazing. I'm so hurt. No, not really, but I am sure even sarcasm is beyond you. Fool. First off though I'll explain this all again. A thousand people on at any given time during a closed [beta] is astounding. Especially considering the variables, and the fact this is only being played out on one platform. Secondly not everyone is going to be able to play video games twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. People have lives outside of video games, and not everyone wants to play them all the time. Then you have to account for a myriad of other variables in which range from tastes, knowledge, time & time zone, ect, ect.. In short you have a limited number of available people that can be logged onto Dust514 at any given time. However! You also have to account that time zones will play a part in this as well. Of course you also have people who may not enjoy the game, or want to play at that exact moment. Divided further you have those who had no idea of the event, do not have or want access to the forums, or community, and some who do not check their e-mails as frequent as you may like. Short and simple? You have an extremly small number of forumers in this community that know what is going on compared to the much larger majority who do not know what is going on. With that number ever dividing and growing seperate by variables. The simple fact though that we had a thousand people logged onto Dust at any given time at that point with an recognized -- "X" -- number of individual ID's logging both on and off between that is amazing. Either your expectations are too high, or you fail to recognize the basics that not everyone is going to play just because. The stress was a success. It proved the servers need tweeking, and the Dust client itself needs work of it's own. Seriously it's not my fault that the people's expectations were too high. I mean this build has been out for a month, and even some of the forumers here do not want to keep playing this very limited build. I'm sure most of us did not even get the chance to be on at that specific time. For one reason to another. If CCP was able to show us individual ID's that logged onto Dust throughout the day then that would be another, but they are not releasing that info, and we do not know. Personally the stress test in my opinion was a success. People are quick to judge, and fly off the handle though for anything. Blowing things way out of proportion. "Ignorance is bliss."

Hopefully CCP chose the 2nd option to attain the data they were looking for because we sure didn't get numbers on. tbh, i only played 1 game during the two hour window yesterday. Weekend randoms make me want to dropkick kittens.
