I gotta agree having to download the client and only getting 2 days is kinda silly to me, but considering
they have done this a few times it must be working well 4 them.
Or you could get a permanent beta key from MMORPG.com or people already in the permanent beta.
I personally got my key a while ago on the Firefall forum section on this website, in the thread dedicated to handing out player invites, from other players. I already handed out my own 5 keys, though!
Look! a penny!
2 days is absolutely more than enough for a stress test.
Stress tests are useful for identifying possible future bottlenecks and optimize performance where it needs to be optimized. The working conditions on a server will never be the conditions you set for a stress test. At least that should be the idea.
VG performance issues were never server side, but client side. The problems on the server side were about stability, not performance.
Don't get me wrong, I am well aware of the marketing side of nowaday's open betas. In the end it's supposed to be a beta but, hehe, you can already spend some money on the cash shop or buy your founder status. I still think a stress test is a wise thing to do, even if it's only to confirm that your hardware, while struggling, can handle the load.
Firefall has been on different beta stages for a while already, and trust me there's plenty of input on the official forums.
