It IS coming today for beta testers

from Elemental Forums

Hi guys,

We're play testing through a pre-day 0 version of Elemental. It is beyond the digital gold version but it isn't day 0 either.  We hope to have it up in the next couple of hours.

Stay tuned.

 

Update: And we do plan to make it available for pre-order users today too.

When I enter the game it says a major update is avilable but when I click get update it just exits. -Jeremy Sr.

...I really picked the wrong day to quit smoking.

ROFLMAO!  And to quit sniffing glue!

The statement is true, but I'm glad that people got that one. ;)

Forgive me for coming late to the party, but how am I to know when it is available?  I am a beta tester. Do i need to keep checking the forums, will there be an email, or do i just keep looking on impulse for an 8/22 update?

Frogboy will most likely make a post when it's available, but you can also join us in #elemental on irc.stardock.com.  If you don't have a preferred IRC client, click on the community tab in Impulse, and then click on chat.  Enter a nickname and hit connect.  In the entry field, type /join #elemental.

Elemental: Updating to the Release Version!

By Frogboy Posted August 22, 2010 8:12:36 PM

The official release date of Elemental is August 24th. However, some retailers have broken the street date and to make sure that those who helped us in the beta as well as those who pre-ordered it don’t miss out, we are going to release a pre-day 0 version of Elemental tonight.

This version is beyond the digital gold version that reviewers currently have but it is not quite the day 0 version either.  There’s been a lot of polish, tweaks, and other improvements to the game in this version.

If you did happen to get Elemental early from retail, you will want to load up Impulse (which was installed) and update to the latest version.

This version should go live in approximately 90 minutes.

I'm thinking they are having super fun 'Play Testing' and lost track of time <grin>!

90  minutes, that's awesome!

 

 

Right in time for me to go to bed because I have to work. That's great.

Sorry to ask a potentially silly question but...

 

if I pre order now, could I play later tonight when its released for all pre order customers?

 

I wasn't in the beta.

How many incremental builds do you have in-house anyway?
None. Hence the delay.

We had the gold version (from several days ago) and we were working towards the day 0 version which was supposed to go Monday morning.

Well, at this point, I say forget about the pre-day 0 version and just work on that original Monday morning deadline.
