UPDATE @ 11:08PM (Pacific) - First, thank you all for showing up! At the risk of sounding like I'm making excuses, our PTS server hardware is NOT as beefy as Live servers. We have almost 1000 players on PTS at the moment and we haven't seen the pop that high in a long time. We might see network perf that you won't see on Live.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Just a reminder that we are scheduled to kick-off the EU playtest on the public test server at 11am (Pacific) / 7pm (GMT) - approximately 1.5 hours from now
Then again for North America at 4pm (Pacific) / 7pm (Eastern) to make up for the cancelled playtest yesterday due to our CDN provider issues preventing download.
In addition to the list of changes outlined below, our primary focus today is client/server stability; specifically a client crash that appears to be happening while players are in Sanctuary. Of course, if you run into any new, critical issues not listed in here, please reply to this thread. We will be monitoring reddit and twitter throughout the day.
Thank you again for your help as we head down the final stretch to the Escalation launch!
