If you do 5 drops you get one day of premium time.

I may try it out to get a feel for the changes. Downloading the test client now.

I'm in.

About a 4.5GB install.
Noticed the "go to website" link takes you to a public spectator login.

I'm assuming this is like they used in the launch tournament. I hope that's part of this, we could capture some pretty cool videos. Just need to have our colors on so we can tell who is who in case there are no labels. Not sure if that's part of this test or not though.

Cool, will look at the spectator mode as well.

On a recent M.W.O. Warroom podcast/youtube discussion they talked about the spectator mode and having it have a feature to display pilot name and/or side and lance information as some sort of overlay. The NGNG guys agreed saying that the couple times they have commentated on matches it was hard to tell who was who.

Hopefully this will be a feature/enhancement at some point.... after CW is done ....

Of course, how do you prevent an observer from reporting to buddies on TS the enemy positions? I guess with the new launch module and only 1 organized lance they couldn't do too much harm.

Tried launching and it cued up another patch and shut down immediately. Several times now. Not looking good for the test.

Got in a few drops. Fairly long waiting time, hopefully it won't be as bad once it is live.

Got a few screenshots.

Apparently they found a few issues that should be fixed for Tuesday.

They saw some long wait times because of the 3/3/3/3 restrictions, and are looking at minimizing this time.

Mention of SRM fixes for Tuesday (yea!)

Cool thanks for that, here's hoping for a good outcome on Tue.
