OK, I normally pitch in here and quietly grumble about the fact that USA is pretty much ALWAYS excluded from your testing mix. And that this might NOT be exactly an optimal test precondition, when one considers the number of US zone players, and the fact that most of them connect thru an entirely different of routers than EU does.
(Not saying it kills the tests, or in any way diminishes their value. Just saying a wider variety of data points is better, IMHO)

So, ummm... +5 for scheduling the test when US has the day off...
-5 for scheduling it on Thursday.

I know, it's tradition to run on Thursday, but in the US, Thursday is Thanksgiving/Turkey Day
Friday is All off work, recovering from Thursday, not much to do...

So, that being the case, might a move to Friday be.... a GOOD thing?


Just say'n



Daaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Please note any EU based games dev, you must ensure you keep to US timezones for any testing.

Hi!

We will be holding a mass test on Buckingham on Thursday, November 22nd, at 19:00 UTC (= EVE time). We are aware that this collides with Thanksgivings in the US, but we hope that our players from Europe can fill the ranks.


Wait, hoping EU players fill the missing ranks of the usually non-existent US testers? I'm confused. I guess it's CCP, it doesn't have to make since if they believe hard enough in their heads...

Here's to hoping targeting isn't borked again!

Sokai, you will be able to fly what you could in Eve as of the end of October...

And the ships you lose and items you buy on the Test Server to NOT transfer to TQ (Live server) as most things only cost 100.00 ISK.

Maybe you didn't understand what I was saying so here's the simpler version


WHY do I need an active subscription to report stuff on the test server?

Because our bug reporting system can receive bug reports from client from multiple test servers and Tranquility but only uses one, Tranquility, for authentication.

And there is no way around this?

It seems pretty silly that I could find a bug report on Bucky but be unable to report it *just* because Im no longer an active subscriber at the time.

The easiest work-around is for you to renew the subscription Blink

Thanks for participating on Buckingham, what did you encounter that you wanted to report?

In reply to the bug - look at my old bug report ID 144745 that was filtered (and at one point marked as "Not Reproducible". Exact same error happened when I undocked in a Chimera.
