maximpact Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yes that's right as the title says, this post is all about a FUN community competition to pick the exact date for when you expect (or hope) the alpha testing will go live and we'll be able to first play (even if only for testing) The "winner" will be the poster that picks the exact date, or where the exact date is not picked, the post that picks the absolute closest date before or after. The "date" will be measured as the first date that gold founder members are able to log in to the Alpha testing servers. What do you get, well mad props of course for your un-canny and amazing forecast skillz. Of course, we'll also see those for which the glass is half empty or just decide to be widely pessimistic. I'm going to pick April 12 2017 for reasons and that we have holidays the following week So post your best guess alpha date.

SimonVolcanov Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 April 14th. Late enough to be realistic, plus it's a Friday, so most people could start right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjacobean Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 April 14th. Late enough to be realistic, plus it's a Friday, so most people could start right away April 13th. Again, late enough but not on a Friday (never release a game on Friday otherwise the devs will have no weekend and players risk not being able to get on due to server issues.

Pretty much always gonna be on a Friday - whatever is supposed to be in the build will be shoved in at the last possible moment and tweaked...until desperation forces the release. Basic human nature and the reality of game development schedules. SimonVolcanov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic human nature and the reality of game development schedules. I guess thats why games like space engineers, fractured space, warframe, swtor (etc.) don't release on a friday? I have faith that NQ know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code24 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Just because I want to be wrong, and there could easily be delays I'm going to be a pessimist and go with August 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hades Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Tomorrow! Jk ;P I'd have to guess July 14th, near the Fourth of July... but they're from France, so they don't give two jigglies. So added 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmyesrice Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I am guessing that it is coming out on the day that it is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'd agree with Lethys on around May 4th. It's a good time-frame since the end of Kickstarter for them to have set up the server and have stress-tested them in a virtual enviroment.
