I, too, have a friend who finds many bugs. Every day she searches tirelessly for them, hoping to find one that other people have missed. She keeps them in a glass display case in her bedroom - truth be told, it kind of gives me the willies.

I understand that this test will be for that would improve the robot server, that is, to remove JAM tecture, and outputs for the maps_

So, for anyone that doesn't read the OP, but happens to see this one-

The test is this weekend. Expect your emails sometime before then, not now.

[MasterVirusHack]

Our job is simply to bring the server down_

We apologize for the delay, but we appreciate your assistance in making this release as smooth as possible!

Break Servers with Stress, 7 Day Free XP Boost, Test Server with build.
Delay doesn't sound to bad if you get the data to get the patch ready for sept 10th.

We basically still get to play it on a test server and get freebies.
(Queue Oprah telling us to check under our seats)
I see absolutely no problems with this.

You are open an Honest with the community that is far better the Piggi (PGI) has done with the MWO community.
That is all I can ask.

Greetings pilots!

We have an update regarding the deployment of HAWKEN: Ascension that was originally scheduled for September 5.

We've recently discovered some brand new issues that are preventing the patch from meeting our quality standards. In light of this, we have decided to adjust our target release date of HAWKEN: Ascension to Tuesday, September 10. This will allow us to fix these problems and perform more stress testing. In order to do this, we need your assistance!

In order to ensure the success of this test, we will be granting all pilots temporary access to the current HAWKEN: Ascension build. Your mission is this:

• Receive email with instructions on how to download the client.
  
• Download client and install.
  
• Play the game and try your best to break our servers.

This test will take place this weekend, and we will provide more details when they become available. Keep in mind that any progress made during this test will not be saved.

Also, as a show of our appreciation, we will be providing everyone who participates in this special test with a code for a 7-Day XP Boost. This code will be able to be redeemed any time you'd like.

As a final note, please be aware that while we're always open to hearing your feedback, that is not the priority for this test and we are not be making it a primary focus.

We apologize for the delay, but we appreciate your assistance in making this release as smooth as possible!

oh i will...

Our job is to make sure no random bugs got through the cracks, as well as load test the servers.

Servers sometimes act differently based on different system loads.  Maybe a memory leak is out there somewhere (these things happen).
Testing, like many people have said, can only go so far.  The devs miss things, they are people.  You can only unit test so many things, and alot of the HAB players were probably.... playing the game.  Instead of jamming themselves into every corner trying to find boundschecking issues, or other things.  They were also probably balance testing the game as well.

Releaseing to the public for testing gives you alot more people doing unexpected things.  The chance of say.. 10 people finding that random hole in the wall, is alot less then say 1,000.  Someone is going to notice something, and that is what they want us to do.

Adhesive is trying to make the best game possible for us, listening to our feedback, and only releasing finished products.  This in my mind is what they should be doing (much like blizzard did).  Only releasing finished, near bug free games keeps players happy, and keeps your company image fantastic.  No one can realyl say blizzard releases buggy games, and that has done wonders for blizzard.  Adhesive, I feel, is just trying to do the same thing.

Could you put this info on the launcher, would save me a headache or two. I actually thought that it wasnt september 5th in the states yet or something;....

[DaPheel]

Well, I am a sad panda regarding the patch delay. But I suppose it's better to test it first, then have everything come down in flames.

If we do break the U.K. servers - do we get new ones_

[ShadowGTR]

Devs: do what you guys need to do to get this patch ready to roll out. This weekend, we will test it till the servers melt and let you know what we find.

Good luck on finding and destroying those bugs!

[H0L0GRAM]
