Yesterday's short test was to test behind the scenes technical stuff - servers & storage, and for us to enjoy subways. Longer one (~48 hours?) happing later in the week, with a possibility of it starting today. Btw, when we say short, we mean 4-5 hours long.
if you refresh the home page, just for a split second it says open.....then the red kicks in saying closed. For the micro second Im like yessssnoooooo awwww lol
Sooo.... my 2.5 year old will be gone to Nanna's Friday, so the game needs to be open. I am gonna need y'all to have the game open during that time. All day Friday and Saturday morning. Additional time would be great- but the crucial time, you see, is Friday all day and Saturday morning.Thanks for understanding.
P.S. To recap - Friday and Saturday- game needs to be open. Thanks so much.
Grr, people on facebook are posting on Glitch's wall and are getting aggravated, just 24 hours before the last test finished. Wow, they have no idea what it's been like for us for the last couple of months testing and waiting wise. I hope they're in it for the feedback and bug squishing, not just the gameplay :/
Just for your information Hburger YES we are in it for the help we can give to the makers of this wonderful new game. I have given out feed back and reported glitches [ excuse the pun] So have other people I know. What on earth is wrong with a bit of playful banter on face book. Is not the time to complain when no one cares when there is a "next test" As far I see people on FB are not behaving in a aggravated manner at all. I see lots of pleases and thankfulness to the makers of Glitch.
I for one am not in to smash and grab game play and don't like being grouped as such. Thank you :)
PS glad you like my idea for BEER lol :P
We only intended to get the deep tissue massage, but as these things go … one thing led to another … and the next thing you know, we're getting chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and now we're heading over to soak in a hot mineral bath.
Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds.
We'll let you know when we start feeling better … but as of now, there's no firm ETA.
Thanks for the stand down @jdawg. My snowday hopes are now put aside.
Annnd, looks like someone is revving up their engines, "In the game right now exploring The Amazing Race!" instead of off to the mineral springs. More teasing!
Sigh... I guess computer programming takes as long as it takes, at least if you want to do it right. From what little I can infer from their code these guys do it right. This is what I keep telling myself as I compulsively shift-reload waiting for game open :p
Honestly while still testing NO. When finished and running %100 YES absolutely. That is coming from some one who would never EVER pay to play something on line.
I'd be interested to know what the actual issues are - but I'm guessing the game's proprietary, and proprietary coders tend not to like discussing their code.
@en: I wouldn't pay to start playing now. I consider it an exercise in patience.
GOD: What are you all doing here? Who let you in!?
GOD: I did my best to ensure there would not be a test this week...
GOD: I crashed Game Servers. I trashed RAID arrays. I destroyed DNS servers. I nitpicked designs to death!
GOD: YES, my powers are absolute and all-encompassing. I even gave pink eye to people's kids! FEAR ME!
GOD: But, since you are already here, I suppose you may stay.
GOD: For 15 more minutes. You are welcome!
