So yea, even the great Yoshi-P cant escape the fate of the RNG

Someone reading that must be like "oh shit, it was me who stole YoshiP's robe" ^^;

[Ruethryl]

Though he did say he was playing "anonymously". ^^;

Though if you're a THM who beat out a CNJ for a robe by 2 points.. it was probably *you*

xD

Rolling against a healer is taking your life in your hands, imo XD

The light hearted comments aside, Yoshi-P said something about "monitor server stability over a long period." Does that mean this weekends test will be longer then 2 days? Hope so.

"Half-way through Phase 3"?

I honestly thought it was 3/4... and that this final 4th upcoming test would just span over more days than the weekend. ..?

Well, the US has the 4th of July holiday and many will be off work Thursday and Friday. Plus those are also the dates of the Japan Expo in France... Fingers crossed!

It would be nice to get a longer test period, but it might not come until next weekend. Perhaps SE will announce testing times in about 19 hours from now.

Figuring we have 2 more weekends based on some code giveaways + the world transfer deadline. Would expect phase 4 around the 26th or the 2nd assuming they haven't had any major issues.

uuuh I hope we get more than a couple of days! I miss hopping on whenever I want when I can't sleep or early in the morning while my house is still quiet.

Now that we're halfway through phase 3, all that's left is to stress test the duty finder, and to monitor server stability over a long period.

Ok, so Phase 3 started on June 14, so if it ended on July 12 or 14, the "halfway" comment still could make sense. So I think servers will go up Fri 5:00 a.m. like normal, and maybe stay on through July 12th or 14th. Also that matches his (Yoshi's) original posted outline (on Beta forum) for Phase 3.

Speculation based on science lol...
