[color=#959595]All Public Test Times are in PDT? "[/color]

Ya'll seriously put those times for a Thursday? If you wanted a true PUBLIC test it wouldn't be during prime working hours for the other timezones in U.S. on a Thursday. Obviously this isn't a stress test and besides extremely limited feedback from the absolute minority of players that can and want to slide into this test, what is the point?

Yeah, yeah ... we don't want to interrupt the regular play in 8v8 and don't want to overtax our resources. To me this is a carrot on stick methodology. This is still a BETA, put it out for prime hours on a prime day. That is the only way you are going to get solid feedback from a sample group that is in the Norm of your players. I'm sure the closed testing is done with the people that are already hardcore testers Closed testers. I want this game to succeed, as well as many more, but the less input you get from a more diverse group is not a good way of conducting business.

The planet is round, live with it.
I have to stay up from 1am to 3am on Friday morning to join the PTS.
Throw in another hour or 2 to provide feedback, I only slept for 2 hours before getting up at 7am to report to work.

Misread the times. Dumb post and it needs to be deleted. Happens after a long day and scanning forums in a rapid manner before crashing to bed.
