Why must the tests ALWAYS be held during my shifts?

While the Public Test Server is a completely independent server environment, your user account data has been cloned from your regular game account as it appeared on Jan 7th. You must have created an account before Jan 7th, 2014 in order to participate in this public test. Note that if your password was changed after this date, your previous password will be required to sign-in to the Public Test client. Feel free to spend your MC/C-Bills in the Public Test environment, as this version of your account will not be ported back to the regular game client.

For anybody that can't make it but still wants to see what's going on, I'll be streaming it on twitch.tv/homeless_bill starting a little after 10am PST.

damn, if people can post videos of the new UI, that's be great. Won't make it.

More importantly, the upcoming cockpit glass. I'm hoping that it doesn't severely hamper our vision in-game, but you know what they say about hope...

Sure it's only what you have, but if you're sitting on a pile of MC you don't want to spend for real, spend away! Want that Atlas you've never been able to buy? SELL ALL THE MECHS and get you one. Gotta be creative

What's that, 2am Friday Night my time?

CAFFEINE.

Possibly 2am Friday MORNING....I don't know I just got up

I'm going to try to be there for this one!

[Crohnic]

I plan to take a few of the Hero Mechs out for a spin.

It makes me wonder if these types of short testing opportunities increase MC spending once back in the real game.

TBH, without spoiling too much info, there's a new "skin" in the pack... so you can try before you buy. Not sure if it actually will be accessible though.

[HiredGun]

You guys need to open up the times a bit, most of us are at work when you do these test server tests. How about making it a all day affair.

Ya, it will force us all to play in 3rd person. Wouldn't that be wonderful.

Meh? I dunno. I smell disappoint incoming though.

What the heck is the point of a 2 hour test window? Other companies [who shall remain unnamed] have their public test servers running 24/7. But I've never understood a 2 hour window. It seems totally pointless. How much significant data can you gather on stability and how tweaks are effecting builds in 2 hours? If all you are doing is previewing a patch before it goes live, then you may as well just release the patch and deal with bugs and game play issues in subsequent patches.

I saw you in a game a while back you were on my team but you were afk or something didn't do any damage to enemy team. If I knew you were afk I would have shot a leg off. Sadly I only knew you were on after the game ended.

Because most probably it's not a test. I think they are doing it to show the community they are kinda-sorta working on something, not to test anything with the help from the community. That's why they are usually ignore feedback from these "tests".

When dealing with PGIGP, bet on disappointment (and you won't be disappointed )

I find that hard to believe, the window between you installing and uninstalling the game is far too short for you to actually play the game.
