Yeah, I figured that out. I was very disappointed, too. I decided to instead look at youtube videos of the character creation screen.

That's kinda lame. That pretty much says I won't be able to do it at all, if it is EST.

Pacific Time, actually.
A ton of people think those are really stupid time slots. I generally agree, but whatever. They've stated their reasons for doing it like that.
They said they'll be adding more playtest time in the near future, but who knows what that actually means.

It's actually 10:00am to 11:59 *PM* on Fridays, not AM.
So Wednesday is a good day for pacificers, followed by a break day, followed by almost 14 hours of test time, followed by 4 days of break.

Yeah, that was a typo. My bad.

Those are the EXACT same time slots they used for the CoH beta.

So who can I look forward to seeing in the beta time slot tomorrow?
Champions Online thread - Kaden - 08-05-2009
I'll be there. Probably.
There's another patch out, for anyone interested in that whole "pre-patching" thing.
Champions Online thread - Belle Hibiki - 08-05-2009
I'll be there.
Who wants to create a channel in game for Chubbs fags?
Champions Online thread - Kole T. Merr - 08-05-2009
So my account is f'd up right now...it says my username doesn't exist, and neither does the email address i used for the account.
EDIT: Apparently the account services are offline atm. I thought someone had hacked and deleted my account.
Champions Online thread - Kole T. Merr - 08-05-2009
Sorry about the double-post, but the announcement has come through that this Wednesday's playtest times are from 8am to 2pm Pacific.
Champions Online thread - Deo - 08-05-2009
So we gotta wait like another hour before we can get into the games.
Also, I'm up for a ChubbsFagChannel.

Short beta day is short and leaves me wanting.
Champions Online thread - Kaden - 08-05-2009
I was genuinely amazed.
People were saying that they could barely participate because the playtest hours were poorly timed so they decide to cut the time in half and move it into the middle of the work day.
Champions Online thread - Waffuru - 08-05-2009
During the City of Heroes beta they had really short beta times because they always wanted to test the technical aspects of the servers. They NEVER wanted input on powersets or balancing (obviously because they had done it right the first time, amirite?) and only on how well you could run the game. Towards the end of the beta they did open it to all weekdays (never weekends because they don't work those days and don't want to run the servers when there is no one working) but until then it was how many people does it take to lag out the server testing.
Champions Online thread - Kaden - 08-05-2009
I get stress testing, for sure, but there's no stress if most people are working during the test hours.
One of the devs did say something about testing from overseas people, so I assume that was part of it.
Champions Online thread - Waffuru - 08-05-2009
I definitely agree that the times were stupid.
