Nah they just posted a thing on their official FB saying that Phase 1 is coming to an end so there's still 1-2 weeks debugging.

If the first test was the 25th of feb, and Phase 1 can last for 4 weeks. Then as scheduled, it ends this weekend on 22nd/25th

There is then a potential 3 week break before the 2nd phase.

I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that phase 2 would begin at that date, even when you guessed this on the 5th of march.

If it was in NY for sure, but Boston is too far me to drive.

That's too far for me. :(

I'll check updates. It would be cool if you bring photos here. :D

Anybody else going to be there? It'll be interesting to see how they do this.

It would be cool if you made a video.

"As I mentioned earlier, gamepad functionality will be ready for testing in phase 2, which is scheduled to begin in early April. Right before that begins, I'll be making an appearance in another LIVE letter, so don't miss it!" link

The word used in the JP letter is 上旬; which refers to the first 10 days of the month. If we assume that Phase 2 will also take place on weekends only, then we can deduce that Phase 2 will probably start on April 5th. If they decide to do it during weekdays then there is a good chance there will be 2 and a half weeks of debugging before Phase 2. All this assuming there are no unexpected debug delays and everything goes as planned.

Totally would, but SE posted their official PAX lineup and it doesn't look like ARR will be a floor game. :(

XI:SoA was added to the panel and Bayohne will be making an appearance. But yeah, would be cool if whoever is going met up at/before the panel. I'll probably be wearing my JUNES shirt on Friday with a few legacy pins on hand to give out because master race etc.

Most likely the only thing I'll have on me would be my phone, but I'll see what I can do!

I don't know how Starlord picked that date, but it does fall within the range. Phase 1 was estimated at 2-4 weeks in the roadmap; phase 1 debug, 1-2 weeks. So that's a range of 3 weeks (March 18), to 6 weeks (April 8). If Phase 1 ends Sunday night / Monday morning, it will have lasted exactly the longer estimate of 4 weeks.

I will be at PAX east all 3 days. This will be the first panel I go to. Didnt go to any last yr lol. Ill try to take pics or even record if I get a good seat, will give me a chance to try out my note2s camera lol. I just hope they give some good info to make the wait in line worth it haha
