The bots are coming and they are on our side.

Then the question is, should we wait for them to turn on us? ;)

Just give people a key and let them test it, instead of bots :x?

...bot that logs in, ... chatting in global chat occasionally. We'll expand these tools to mimic players more accurately ...

to mimic players you'll need to teach these bot's some choice swear words, and provide them with a heathy amount of banter about how awful D3 was/is.

using EC2 for bots eh? awesome :)

Come with me if you want to live...

Yah saw some of the load testing messages last night about moving EU players all onto one server. There was a noticeable increase in lag during that time (EDIT: even though I'm on the NA servers).

Let the load testing begin! Keep up the great works, guys.

Good stuff, feel free to crash the servers as often as you need in order to mitigate first day 'error37' issues.

Yea.....too bad error 37 lasted a month.

D3 - 2 steps forward 37 steps back.

I have been laughing for about 10 solid minutes!

Seriously? 5 months past the 'expected' release date.

I like Path but it gets boring. I played and got to level 40 back in march. Then I stopped because it was getting boring, and I didn't want to get bored of any new features before August. 8 months later, I haven't touched the game. Now I got to wait another month? Better be at least a good 20 hours of game play before I get bored. When games like this, Diablo and TL only have 3-4 acts. there is no replay value. even with the random generating dungeons. I know a lot goes into making these games, especially smaller companies. I just really hope you guys don't disappoint with this game.

I checked to see if I was getting a chance to test, but no, instead I read a message of using bots to stress the server. How amusing.

Loads of bull I say, rather than using bots you better use normal players to ramp up the simultaneous connections at once to stress test.

Or waiting for more players to buy the key, eh?

Going back to play D3 then - a game that's been played by me for over 1100 hours.
