Hello pilots and devs!

I realised I'm going away over the weekend, which means I'm missing the better part of the beta event!

I've been looking forward to testing the game out since first I heard about it. So now my request is to at least bring up the possibility of weekday events. See if it's possible for you, the devs, and also if there's a big enough demand or interest in it from the community side. I personally would love to see it happen at least once in a while. In the form of short stress tests stretching a day or two, maybe?

Just puttin it out there, see you soon (in my crosshairs ;) )

This beta starts at noon on a weekday.
Then  it runs thru the weekend.
And keeps going into another weekday.

And aemilius is still going to be gone for the weekend. And presumably will be busy Friday in prep for the weekend if not already gone. And then it's Monday again.

That you've pointed out the fact that the first beta test runs across weekdays as well as Saturday and Sunday is not exactly relevant to the spirit of aemilius's suggestion/request, which is to have mid-week testing sessions.

The more tests the better, in my opinion, and a bit of variety on days might be good, but it comes down to what the Hawken team needs to do in order to meet the 12.12.12 deadline.

I have the same problem, I had to go out of town for the Alpha 2 as well. And ofc, NOW, I have to leave town again. Which means I'll be missing this event. AGAIN.

I just have the worst luck!
It's either that, or bother trying to install the client on an available machine over there, and uninstall the game when I'm done.
Can't wait for this to go open. I'm buying a future-computor for this...

True, but if you take into account work hours and time difference, the amount of hours I can play is minimal. I can maybe play a couple hours sunday evening, then I have to go to work monday so... Monday evening is also a couple hours like between 19.00 and 23.00. If I only play the game and not bother with anything else that is :P
