Why are stress tests done during the day on weekdays?

I mean, most of us are adults with jobs that probably end around 5-6pm… How can we test something when most of us are at work?

… By writing this, I realized most of those at Blizz probably have the same 9-5pm job during the weekdays.

You won’t be able to log in anyway. Don’t sweat it

Hey dude, don’t worry, even the adults who aren’t working right now aren’t able to test it, because Blizz apparently learned nothing from last weeks test. So take heart! You’re missing nothing but loading screens.

Luckily I’m in Central Time Zone so the testing phase I believe should be 4-6 p.m. my time. Unfortunately I work until 5 and due to traffic it usually takes me more than an hour to get home…I guess I will be late to the stress test party but I will try and take advantage of the 24 hour log in period I suppose.

Hey, just checking in to let you know, like the other person. I’m also Central, servers still aren’t able to be logged into. You’re not missing anything.

And considering enough people are available to crash it now, does it even matter if we do it now, vs the weekend?

Your time is much better spent, doing ANYTHING at work, compared to looking at a login screen for two hours.

Don’t worry you’re not missing much unless you like to stare at a login screen.
