Hey everyone, quick update on what's happening next Monday, November 22, 2010. All times are Pacific Standard Time, which is where Los Angeles, California is.
At 9am, I'll be marking all beta registrations to receive their invite codes later in the day. Any beta registrations that come in after 9am will have to wait for our week 3 release on December 6th.
We'll be rolling out some changes to the live beta site and verifying that the code works as intended and doing lots of internal testing.
In the afternoon, when we feel the code base is tested enough, we'll send a newsletter to all users who registered for the beta, even after the 9am cutoff. This newsletter will explain more about what we've been working on, what's in the new release, that sort of thing.
Once that newsletter is sent, I'll work on getting invite codes sent out to everyone who registered before 9am that day, and those users can begin helping with what we'll be calling our "open beta." The Email you'll receive with your invite code will explain what we need from you as beta testers.
It's important to note up front that several things will seem "missing" from the site, such as the forums, leaving comments, rating the games, that sort of thing. Some user profile settings may be available, but as we've already explained, changes you make on beta may get overwritten if you change your AG2 profile later.
The full details of what's going in the beta release, and what major pieces of the site are still missing will be detailed in the newsletter.
Other than questions of "what's in the release" or "what's missing from the release", are there any questions about the process or what will be happening next Monday?
But I'm really waiting for the forums because on AG the forums are like my life. :0
Same Hither. Plus commenting on peoples profiles. I enjoy that as well. But to beta test, we are supposed to see how the simple-er things run, so that way we can move on to the less simple-er things!
As Beta testers, we gotta focus on one particular area, instead of being spread out to test the entire thing. This helps single out all the bugs and other problems that, given the contrary, would make the team think that the bugs would be coming from something else. So every period, we get a new set of features, a fancy new codename (the next one is Falchion!) and new things to test out, give praise to, and give ideas on.
It seems fine for me. I have a pretty crappy computer for gamming, but I was able to play the 3 games I tried so far. I also have 3 Ustream windows open.
To do that, you need to go to My Armory, then go to Profile/Privacy. It's nothing special for now, but it will have more stuff later.
Or if you are saying you can't log in altogether, then that's a problem, but it has already been stated. What worked for one account was to try and update your account, whether it's change password, edit your Bio, anything. If you try that and login, it should work. It worked for the other guy.
