Obviously they won't do this after launch unless they are forced to for some reason.

hopefully bnet goes up soon. been looking forward to playing all day, and of course, when i have the time to, service update.
anyone have any sorta eta by any chance?

What exactly is the point to patching the game only days before they pull it away from us beta testers?

all you complainers need to realize that you are getting to play this game for free before its release, there are down times for a reason. quit bitching.

There won't be enough time to get any decent testing off.

maybe they're putting out a new test because the old version of udp implementation blatantly doesn't work and they want to try out something new?
seriously, one of the dumbest posts ive ever read on the internet
"hurr what do they from testing new patch???"

However, they have also been releasing 1 patch each 7-8 days pretty consistently, so the 3-4 days on the weekend as a stress test may give them enough information for the changes they make.

i don't think he was asking what they were testing, he was just saying that he doesn't understand why they'd bother testing it considering the beta users wont be able to play shortly after the new patch drops. if you actually read the post as oppose to just sitting with a dick up your ass you'd probably know that.

Wait - is BNet down for a patch or just maintenance?

I think you underestimate how much information blizzard is gathering from these small changes in just 2-3 days of testing. Its hundereds of thousands of games a day, probably a million plus games in a few days and its only beta.

Blizzard is doing there best to put out a solid product for us to enjoy, some of you need to realize that blizzard is not putting out the beta for you to have fun. They are putting it out to test the game. Stop thinking with ur mouse and start thinking with your head.

Don't forget in-house/internal testing. You guys aren't the only ones playing the game...

Don't know, could be either, could be both. They usually don't tell us (except patch 13 or major announcements that lead to speculation).

but even then, given that the other patches had about a week+ each to run, and this one is having significantly less time... idk. it's still going to be beneficial to them, but partly because i want to play the game more, and partly because i don't know how blizzard thinks, i feel that the patch is a 'bit late' and at the very least they should extend the beta pending on whether or not this new patch has a lot of bugs innit or not. and it will. but hey, what are we here for

I feel your pain Papillon
|
fyi to all the complainers... beta is back online.
|
Do you think we will see some balance changes with this patch or the patch note would have been allready posted if that was the case ?

It's up, nothing new (at least for me)
