Them's Fightin' Herds: Backers' Beta starts May 25

[Heilos]

While I wouldn't mind if you guys were a tiny bit more specific about what the current issue is, I've waited a long time for this so I can't wait a bit more no problem.

Otherwise I'm just lurking for now and refreshing from time to time. If it has to be up tomorrow/in a few more hours from now instead then that's ok. I'm mostly confused why you picked a Thursday to start the beta and not Friday though? Unless that was extremely intentional for a reason i'm not aware of. o.o

 

[Redness]

@ManeSix If you guys need a little more time on the game, we can all wait a little longer! Don't feel like you are forced to release it.

 

[Starchaser]

Maybe I'll just see what kind of controller I can get on Amazon Prime Now so I get it delivered in under 2 hours :v

 

[Artsofallkinds]

I've been waiting 4 years for this, I can wait a few more hours.

 

[Cyberfox VII]

One of my favorite things about this is watching the little "Backer's Beta news" banner change over time.

(Maybe I should just go to bed...)

 

[B. D. Turtle]

So I guess it's time to power-nap for one 80 minutes.

 

[LunarMarshmallow]

oh dear

 

[qspec]

Nah I'm calling it.

May 26th release. See you all tomorrow.

 

[AURESHION]

I'm off to work, short shift today luckily. so ill be back in about 5 hours. I'm assuming it will have started by then. have fun without me guys.
but please, do leave some for me.

 

[Odd Mess]

I don't have nothing to do tomorrow, so I can stay here all night long.

 

[lunadash]

Already waited the last 18 hours, 2 more should.. be... easy....

 

[ChaotixSpark]

Are we reaching a record for "Total amount of users online" waiting for this beta release?

 

[Extantdread]

I've burnt myself out lurking here, refreshing, and playing other games for the past six hours. Hello! I'm calling the release to come out at 11:33 PDT.

[Songhacker]

A funny thing happen on way to wenbeta

 

[Rayem]

I'm not sure I can fight off the sleepy that much longer. If you want to push back the date at this point please do.

 

[Stunthead]

Sooo... you know when we said it wouldn't be a midnight release?

well, yeah, funny thing, you see...

 

[Talguy21]

Well, this is the longest I've ever had my email client open in a day. wp Mane6.

 

[Vulapa]

Crap! We forgot to realize we were waiting for Steam!

[VALVE TIME]!

 

[Mane6Dev]

Crap! We forgot to realize we were waiting for Steam!

[VALVE TIME]!

No, this is actually on us. We're doing a final revision pass/stress-test on the changes we made to nail that issue earlier and its consequences.

So, is the beta still down for release in an hour?

 

[Midnight_Blitz]

[VALVE TIME]!

Valve Standard Time always gets you when you least expect it.

Always.

Here's looking at you, release timers.

 

[SirVanilla]

So I just stayed up watching American Tail for the first time in over ten years waiting for this. Thanks I guess?

 

[BigBuda]

I cant wait for us all to log in and crash everything

 

[Talguy21]

It's not anything I'm going to get super upset over. Been waiting this long- what's another day if it means something that won't crash 10/10 games?

 

[Wesley McQuivey]

take your time i got all night

 

[Vulapa]

No, this is actually on us. We're doing a final revision pass/stress-test on the changes we made to nail that issue earlier and its consequences.

You did mention an eleventh-hour issue and I had a hunch your team was working on it all day and evening to try and match the release time.
I think at this point everyone is curious about whether the release will still be out for tonight. Oh well, I hope the aforementioned issue isn't bugging you as much!

 

[Artsofallkinds]

ba dum tis

 

[Starchaser]

Because there are no cats in America and the streets are made of cheese...

 

[deft]

35 minutes to go.

Can the Mane6 crew still make it on time?

Will the Beta get to the backers before midnight?

Will Oleander confess her love for cheese?

ALL THESE QUESTIONS ANSWERED...



Eventually.

 

[Saki]

I'm back from my game of League. Time to wait for the beta again.

 

[LockeRobster]

I hope your stress test is vigorous. On a good day I can get a 10 hit combo. No lie.

Serioisly though guys Im hype as hell. I get off work in 4 hours. Hopefully ill be playing this tonight.

 

[Askerad]

Just woke up from sleep. Now i can partake again in the waiting. HYPE.

Now to get some coffee.

 

[Nimble Wing]

I'm just sitting here checking my e-mail like

 

[Rayem]

Time to resort to successive power naps. Hold firm Foens!

Don't do it! As soon as you fall asleep, the beta will drop!
...
On second thought, go take a nap right now.
