Asking the entire base of competitors to download, register, and get organized in a separate client with a total of three days notice, when some of the teams are putting in a lot of effort just to get everyone to the Cogs in the first place. There's also the key fact that it's a development test build with some pretty serious bugs currently (ships freezing in place), and I definitely noticed performance issues. How it could be considered a stable platform for a competitive tournament is unfathomable.
On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of thing I've come to expect. ::)

Pressing the install button in steam is a huge effort! Steam says I spent about 5 hours messing about on it yesterday, and I didn't experience any game breaking bugs, I hope you sent muse your output log :p
I was somewhat surprised that the matches are to be played on the test server, but I suppose some people find this to be a bigger deal for them than others, I hope this gets resolved without turning into a total mess heh.

Hi everyone, I have returned!
Firstly, thanks everyone for testing the build! You guys report, and we are fixing the bugs. It's been really awesome, as you all know the game inside out.
With the Cogs, I definitely understand both sides of the argument. I personally don't mind it, maybe because we are expected to lose anyways. I think everyone's battling under the same conditions, as are we actually. I've been having so much fun using the spire, I barely tested anything else, hahahaha. I'm actually pretty hopeful, especially on the new map. When I flew against the ducks, I still lost every match, but I was taking them down! LOL. I do think that with the new build, sine the incumbents have to learn the new build as well, it presents a challenge for every team, but that challenge doesn't benefit the incumbents. Just my 2 cents.
For performance, the test server was running ok for me in my matches yesterday, but if anyone's seeing performance issues, please report them asap, and we'll get them fixed up.
Lastly, Skrim and Aqua, if you guys need to add more people in, let me know asap, and I can add them in.
And Phoebe, can you help me check your account again? Remember, it's the name you used to sign up to steam with. If you can get that to me, I'll fix you up asap.
So far out of about 120 people, only 3 have the wrong steam name, everyone else should be good to go.
Thanks! Howard

So, is the beta still open? Because i can´t figure out how to get it. I´ve been looking for "Guns of icarus dev app" in my steam library, but i don´t see it anywhere.
AquaMac:
The current Cogs' teams playing this Saturday were invited that I know of. Not everyone was invited to test it out.

We are not accepting to play a tournament game on a test server with balance changes that are not live yet. We have our reasons;- I hope you can respect those reasons. I hope we can come up with a solution before Saturday;- if we can't - well... then we lost I guess.

If this is the case, Corvus will drop Match 2 and The Brood will be given another chance instead. Is this a full team decision? If you're certain that Corvus want to forfeit, we need to get things sorted as soon as possible, to give Brood a fighting chance to prepare under the new patch.
