I don't think there is one, I'd guess it goes up when the staff has enough new features built and stable enough for us to test, which can't really be put on a schedule.
Follow @isglitchopen on Twitter and get updates sent to your phone. Other than that... give plenty of feedback when it is open so we can move to Beta faster? :)
Phew. Luckily nothing in the calendar for Friday so far. It's blocked out now...
Will there be queue jumping links published for this 'tentative' Friday test though?
DItto Flugel's question. The last test was my first and I was wondering if Friday's test will wipe my progress.
I really don't care all that much since there are entire skill tracks I didn't touch this time around (mining, meditative arts, tinkering). I'm looking forward to exploring more, too!
I can't speak for what'll happen between now and the official launch, or how often the game will reset. But I've been playing for a few months, and I think it's only reset on me once. *Maybe* twice. They need to test both "beginner" achievements/challenges/skills/etc. and "advanced" achievements/challenges/skills/etc., so I think they let each test go for a while. I think they're sensitive to the fact that — while they have their own needs regarding world resets, and they're clear that there's no guarantee that you'll be pick up where you left off — they know it's a little soul-crushing to lose the work you'd done to date.
So ... it's possible that Friday would wipe your progress, but I'm guessing you'll start where you left off.
Also, note that their saying "Tentatively, the next test is on Friday" isn't a guarantee that there *will* be anything on Friday. I know you know that. Just sayin'.
it's friday! (at least in my time zone) keeping fingers cross for glitch to be opened this weekend.
separately -- yeah, i wouldn't mind a total reset too much, have different ideas about how to go about gaining skills and what not. want to be able to contribute to new street building and see what that's like.
