So, how's this "Test Weekend" thing work?

Does the live game server become a test server for the whole weekend?

Does everyone download an update or is it only for willing participants?

The info posted here doesn't address the mechanics of the "test".

Yes .

HA will not be in kansas anymore this weekend.... If you are there, it'll be changed... If you like it, say so on the special forum Inde et al setup, If you don't: say so in the forum, If you think the changes sidestep the issue and are just a reskin: yup, say so in the forum. Seems all very straightforward.

Well, it's kinda funny, been playing Guild wars for nearly 2 years and have all 3 Campaigns but don't have any character of mine that has reached Heroes Ascent.

Hell, I barely know what HA is...I thought it had something to do with Ascending in the first Campaign...

As for the reasons: partly because I never found an active guild to call home (in a guild of one atm) and partly because I despise PuGs in Guild Wars.

I'll get there eventually, I suppose.

Its expected that there'll be quite alot of updates. So if you're running on a slow connection, this weekend is really going to be hell for you :P.

But the only definate answer you'll ever get is what you will experience when the weekend is here.

great! finally some updates... been a while since theyve had those

this isnt gonna be a good idea. this test is just gonna cram a years worth of rants and flames into 1 week.

What are you talking about this is a great idea. Instead of just doing the updates and skill balances they are saying try this over the weekend tell us what you think and we will make adjustments before it goes in permentaly.

Weekend. 3 days, actually.

But to say this isn't a good idea... nah. It's a welcome change and will likely revive HA another time, and bring new builds.









...Hopefully.

Fixed:

So if you're running on a slow connection, be sure to use the -image option to download everything while you eat dinner or watch a movie.

Fixed for truth

You do know broadband isn't available from all ISPs in certain areas?
When I moved to my local residence the only way I could keep Earthlink was either dial up (I would never) or satellite (overkill).
I left em and those bastards made me pay for the remainder of the contract. >.>

Everyone has to download updates, lucky for me, broadband.
