It has been stated alot before they are trying to get open beta before the end of summer! Now whether or not that happens I can't say but that is there plan as far as I know. if you read this http://mwomercs.com/...date-august-7th it is very clear as to what phase criteria are and what needs to be done before they consider a phase done. The developers have comunicated with this community more than just about any other game. Alot of things are in flux and are subject to change.

he's not asking about that.

Your Sig - please read the founder's description before you start a thread why you are not in beta - is a losing battle, most people dont/wont read and half the people who do read dont seem to understand and make a thread asking a question thats already been answered

Lettuce then he is wrong for asking in the general forum and you could have said that along time ago. I fixed posts to reflect that. But due to possible NDa violation I won't post it and I have a feeling thats why you wouldn't.

[Lettuce Prey]

ok let me spell it out for you and we will see if you will stop being so rude to the guy asking the question.
your rudeness is what i object to, not that you are misunderstanding what he is asking.

he knows there is some kind of patch today.
he wants to know what time today.

you are telling him about the long term timeline, and all he wants to know is what time today the download will begin for the new patch.

is that a little clearer?

Just what I was about to say.

Let me ask the question he's asking in words that might be easier to decipher for all those seemingly eager to find someone to ridecule;

Does anyone know what the actual hours for todays' update? (august 7th 2012)
Regardless of what the update may actually consist.

This is a very simple question, and a valid one, as none of the obvious announcements (beta members area included) have answered it.

TL;DR - He's just asking for a more precise time for the august 7th update.
And he's not the only one interested.

yes you're right, this is the wrong place for that question, and there is no place that the other guys rudeness belongs.

[Granimal]

It is but he isn't being clear and I am not being rude. So let me break it down for you. It comes down to you not answering his question either and trying to troll people who are trying to get him to go read what is happening. If he is in the beta this should have been posted in the beta forums and it could have been answered alot faster and clearly but it is in general. Also this is info that is listed in the beta forums so again I point to reading a stickie for all pertinent info whether it is in general or beta forums.( Again for those that don't know a stickie is a forum topic with a red tag that says pinned)

Not rude just lack tact!

[Taelon]

Okay, ill combine the responses of everyone in here. It will still come off rude but truthful. Firstly if you are not already in beta the time of the patching does not actually matter. However if you are in beta I would recommend checking the Beta forums as they have a sticky post as to how server maintenance usually goes down. Part of what I said on my last post was about this and because of NDA I cannot discuss the contents of the post.

So in short, if he is not in the beta we CANT tell him, unfortunately. Lest of course the NDA has been lifted and I have not seen anything about that.

Edit: reposted this earlier for people just coming into the topic.

you're rude.

if i had known the answer i would have answered.
and as it turns out i would have been making a mistake for disclosing that information in a public forum.
so my ignorance saved me from that mistake since i didn't notice we were having this conversation in a public forum rather than in the beta forum.

you have good points here.

the only part of the NDA that has been lifted is that it is ok to say that we are actually a beta tester.
so far this thread has come close to going further than that, but not quite gone over the edge.
well maybe a little.

[Granimal]

Sorry I thought you knew and were trolling. You could have asked in a clearer manner for him since he didn't instead of just saying thats not what he is asking. We are in general forums hence I pointed to stickies again. Think what you like about me.

you have a good point, and it's possible that i over reacted to what i saw as someone just being intentionally unpleasant and picking on the poor guy.

[Krivvan]

I thought all the Founders were already in a week ago?

[Taelon]

They are per se Krivvan, but the OP was not a founder so he (possibly) did not have access to the information he was asking for, and this is in the wrong forum for posting stuff that could be seen as breaking NDA.

You don't often read the front page new do you? The stuff going on today is still Closed Beta, which means that its still more testing and still via invitation only. The only thing that is changing is founders are going to get all of their perks added.
