Issue 11 preload

After a enjoyfull night of selling a recipe for 2,5 million and gathering costumes when trick or treating, I had quit CoH, to wath the updater start anew with the preload of issue eleven....

And it says that although its already downloading it, Ican't play until it's offically released!!!

The Agony!!!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

anyways...

since this is my first 'going to the next issue', is this normal?
How long before release than?

and please, no tips on hacking...really..dont wanna know...dont want to jinx it...

RE: Issue 11 preload

It's usually a few weeks at minimum once they release the pre-download for a new issue. I'm guessing right around Thanksgiving for the release.

I'm not American so I have no idea when Thanksgiving may be, but usually it takes a few weeks up to a month after the preload.

And if this is your first 'issue-up', you have the right to be in agony. Especially because it's such an utterly fantastic issue :)

1) You won't find tips on hacking into anything CoH related here. People get banned for that. :)

2) You can still PLAY, you just can't play the issue 11 content.

3) Usually it's a couple weeks after the pre-download.

4) Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November.

I'd say the week after the Halloween Event, best guess but it's live on the test (it think) so you can try it out there

Aurrius, Thanksgiving is usually the beginning of the "fattening"/holiday season for Americans. it really is a holiday to celebrate the survival of the 1st winter that the settlers came to the new world and had nothing and the native americans(or Indians) help them out by "sharing" their bountiful crops.

RE: Issue 11 preload

Typical Thanksgiving celebration involves.

Turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Stuffing (some people call this "dressing")
Corn
Peas
Assorted other veggies
Cranberry Sauce
Pies
Pies
Pies
Pies

Other foods added per family tradition. Thanksgiving is usually celebrated by getting large groups of family and friends together to eat a huge meal served early in the afternoon. Once the food is done, the celebration continues by watching Football games (rugby with pads) and napping on the couch.

Tryptophan is the stuff you're thinking of.

It's been Mythbusted! :)

However, the reason people DO get sleepy from eating Turkey Day food is more because of a "Carb Crash". It's the same thing as eating a lot of candy (you'll all notice that on November 1st) getting hyper on the sugar and then...

BANG!

You're unconscious.

As a little bit of trivia:

In Canada, Thanksgiving is a purely Cstholic celebration, identical to the US version, except that it is held on the first Monday of October and is unrelated to any historical events as far as I know.

And this is also known as a food coma. I've eaten my way into many a coma in my day. Actually I have a scheduled coma coming up next weekend when I visit the Shady Maple Smorgasbord. *points to sig* It's 200 ft of Mennonite buffet and rivals every Caribbean Island as the #1 vacation destination for newlyweds and fat people.

Yes. In fact, you will even be able to go back to the tutorial and get your Isolator badge!

RE: Issue 11 preload

Here is the latest information about the time table of Issue #11 from Lighthouse on the main boards.

Just so you all are up to date.

QUOTE

Hi everyone,

Just another quick update from the Closed Beta. The team has been working hard to get in a ton of changes, bug fixes and general feature polish into the next build we have for the beta.

Beta numbers are down on the Training Room, but we rather expected that, as most everyone is on the Live servers playing the Halloween Event. Have you gotten all your Treats yet?

That latest version of the beta was built today and should go through our internal testing tomorrow, with a target to get it, like the previous weeks, to the Training Room on Friday. We've been talking about opening the beta up for everyone to check out Issue 11 who wants to, but that will depend on how well some of the latest changes and bugs are addressed. We want Open Beta to be as polished as possible, to give you all a good first impression, as well as lead to a smooth step to deliver the Issue to live.

So, no date on Open Beta yet, but it's not that far off either. Sorry, I can't be more firm than that, but you're probably used to "Soon™" from us already and that will have to suffice for now.

I'll post more as we have more developments!

How many do you have to 'kill' for that?

Down here in The Nether Nether Lands we do no celebrate Thanksgiving (for obvious reasons. We never celebrated the day one batavian came down the rhine). We do hopwever have a slew of old Holy days, like St Maarten, All hallows, St Nikolaas (gifts time for the kids) and just recently celebrate halloween. And some of us celebrate Samheim.

It's only on Christmas that we carboload
