Server Swarm Saturday.

What about those of us that already have the Skinweave Dropsuits?
Are these Skinweaves going to be different than the old ones?
Not that I'm complaining (they can always be applied to an alt.) I'm just curious. |

If they are doing this stress test in order to deploy and stress test the new "Stability and Polish" patch, then it is a great event.
If they are doing this to test what they already have... then they need to fix their software as this past week has been nothing but "You have been disconnected from the server" or super laggy on the usual suspect maps. In other words, their stress test already failed upon everyday use.

Thank you Cyn. CCP, your policy of not telling your beta testers anything of value in any kind of timely manner continues to hamstring this game development cycle.
And just to be clear: those of us still here playing love this game and what it could become. We sure as kittens aren't hanging about because of your abundant feedback and info transparency.
So, try something different, CCP. Actually tell us what's going on and what to expect! Why would a server stress test this Saturday give you any data that you haven't already gathered during this build? Someone around here has mentioned the persistent stifling, game killing lag, right? Not the first you've heard, right?
I am asking because people ask when they don't know. And we often don't know because you don't Tell us what's going on or coming up
And, respectfully, CDR Wang, those two weekly posts regarding issues you are tracking and what you are working on...
We don't have to live in Shanghai to recognize a whitewashed cover up. I appreciate the effort, honestly. I was the one who lobbied hard for that feedback over the summer. But we both know that what you are saying in those posts has been filtered and processed more than KFC chicken
Now, we don't work for CCP and haven't any Need To Know about internal business progress. But many of the few remaining beta testers would really appreciate some more frequent, honest feedback from the devs
It is so frustrating to check the Dev post section daily and see half a dozen new posts...all threadlocks.
Wall of text, sorry. I have been holding back for some time now.
Why do you think a stress test this Saturday will give you new info? |

i have a theory about this weekends event, DO NOT ask a stupid question like "do you have anything to back that up" or W/E it a personal opinion and hope.
What if they will be increasing the player cap for matches or even grouping?
to an amount i dont know about but as the above people have mentioned just basic stress testing isn't going to show them something they dont already know. So i am hoping this i am right it's something they really need to look at doing.
now i also think that the game lag is not anywhere as bad as it was several months ago i wouldn't play because of it.
So perhaps they are trying to polish it with this new data and improve on something everyone seems to still be complaining about and get to work the way they intended it.
Either way i will be on and not just because i want those suits  ...... |

In order to have a stress test there needs to be alot of people playing the game. The 1k or less beta testers you have won't "stress' anything. And as I stated before, the stress test fails on a daily basis due to the random kicks from the server.
So if CCP is really going to have a stress test are you adding new players? Are you going to open it up to public for the weekend? If it relies on the beta testers as the numbers stand now, it won't be much of a test.
