    However I wish I could tell you why it's going to be great. Tuesday.

    I dare you to break nda ...don’t tho I’m just joking
    I have a serious question no one in here will ask.

    -How nice are the bathrooms?
    -Do they have a cafe?
    -what’s the food menu?
    -Do they have ergonomic desks and chairs?
    -Eyestrain monitors?
    -Casual dress code?

    Typical office building bathrooms.
    They have cafe.
    Decent menu, good coffee
    Nice work spaces, multi monitor displays, lots of gaming swag all over the place, even for other games.
    Very casual dress code.

    I am currently in Wroebels car on the way out to dinner.

    vMoL: Over a month of daily training for first group to complete Vet. Almost half a year for the first group to finish HM.
    vHoF: HM completion within 2 hours of Morrowind launch. Multiple HM completions by different groups on the same day.

    Let me guess: The trial will be completed in one run HM + No Death + Speedrun within 30 min of Summerset launch?

    Just a fair estimation... B)

    Ooo, that's a question that probably isn't covered by the NDA. :mrgreen: What are all the devs' favorite types of booze? Or drinks in general if alcohol isn't their thing.

    Also, I will add we have had devs talking to us and listening to us all day long. And they are taking pages of notes from our feeback on both new content and base game systems. They really do care.

    I'm just concerned who they are talking to. Would be nice if they actually asked us 'regular' folks our opinions. I've seen too much stuff changed because the elite players wanted the changes.

    Bro be serious, you think they are listening but in reality they do with closed ears. The same thing happen when they invited Sypher and Fengrush. They claim some good changes were coming and the developers are being very open minded. But in reality they have a idea of what they want and don’t won’t veer away from it. The fact that they keep trying to recycle this pile of crap is hilarious. Thank god fortnite is doing so well while it being free for pvp.

    But...

    It may very well be nothing but an excuse to brag, but I think @Nestor has earned it. I mean, being part of this test is brag-worthy, and if anyone on this forum has earned the right to swagger a little, it's.... ok, well, it's SantieClaws. But Nestor is #2!

    There is a mix of folks here. A few theory crafters a few casuals and a few who are in between. And no min maxers. I will say the group of playtesters wants this game to be good for everyone. Not just one facet over another. It is a good combination. Not once have I heard an idea from the testers and thought it would only benefit end game or pvp or any other facet.

    In other words, you are in good hands with this crew.

    No min Maxers is concerning. Unless there is someone there that understand and respects that play style choice.

    @Nestor when you say there are no min-maxers there, can you elaborate on what you mean by that? Arguably, many balance issues only matter when one is trying to min-max (that's true in PVE and even more so in PVP), so it sounds a little like you're saying that no one is there representing the set of players for whom balance changes will have the most actual impact. That's a little concerning.
