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...

Personally i think that the game really starts at lvl 50, when you nearly have all the gems and skill points you need to play your character like you planned before.

I don t care to wait until end of January, keep up the good work!

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.

sure, and after a day, all these invited players get kicked? :)
If you own the bots, you can analyse their logfiles and compare with the server-logs. There is some reason.

BTW, they *are* inviting more and more people.

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.

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.

It is a common stressload test used by many online game devs, such as Anet and GW2 who let tons of bots free to find any spots that a player can get stuck in and auto-report the location.


Thanks for the lol though :)

What? Bots incoming? Man vs. Machine in Wraeclast? Where will they drop the bomb?

I suppose the lag now is better than lag and even more crashes on release... Still, it's annoying.

Hahaha this is crazy! give me free beta access ill test for you! oh how i will test. lol jk.. but srsly do it.

A couple of things I noticed.

1. Lags of course, but it was particularly brutal on the Singapore server.

2. For some reason while playing in Windows 8, the keyboard randomly stops accepting correct input. For example if I press "U" to show the world map, it "alt-tabs" from the game to desktop. This happens for every keyboard input in the game. This happens randomly (can be 10 minutes or an hour) and when it happens, the only remedy is to quit the game and start it again (losing all the progress of course).

error! PoE.exe stopped working. reason: bots too much.
