And the Open Beta (and thus the next patch) is not even due out until the 8th or 9th, which means that leaves them with, at MOST, 15 full days of testing. That's just over two weeks. You're plotting a whole week which they don't have.[right][snapback]59312[/snapback][/right]You people seem to be forgetting one more factor. Release date is the 23rd. EBgames shows it as shipping on the 22nd so that people can have it the day it is released. We are now in a stress test with an open beta coming next week. At some point, this thing has to go gold so that CDs, and the game boxes they come in, can be put together and shipped out. That does not happen overnight and I would think that it would have to happen very, very soon.
People are certainly going to be buying a beta and should expect to heavily patch for a while. I just don't see any way that can not be the case if they actually do release on the 23rd. :(
