[Update] - A second patch went out, and the server issues have been resolved! Check the post for more content and more tentative balance changes.
The PBE has been updated! New content includes a set of OGN Summoner icons, a handful of new icons for Summoner spells, the limited edition overlays for our returning Snowdown skins, a ton of tentative balance changes, and more!
(Warning: PBE Content is tentative and iterative - what you see may not reflect what eventually gets pushed to live servers! Manage your expectations accordingly. )
Here's RiotSeb with a PBE community post on this update:
"The PBE platform will go down in about 15 minutes (around 1445 PST) for daily maintenance. As we finalize the build, we'll provide more information about what has changed with this latest version.
Today's new PBE testers: You will see errors if you attempt to create your PBE account during this time. Sit tight, we'll have the platform up in a couple of hours[Update] -
Here's Riot Feithen with more info:
"Hi all,
We've run into some major issues and will be keeping the PBE closed while fixes are deployed. Our current estimate is 2 hours, so around 20:00PDT.
Sorry for the delay, we'll have her back up ASAP!
Fei
Update 20:21: Still working on it, sorry folks!
Update: 22:41: No helpful news for you all, we're still here working on it and don't have an ETA on opening.
Update: 00:14: Our fix just passed QA! We're deploying out to the PBE environment now. You'll see a small patch show up soon and we hope to be open in under an hour.
Update: 00:42: SHE'S ALIVE. Enjoy, and sorry again for the delay. We rarely keep the PBE closed for bugs but this was just too painful to ignore."

Here's RiotIniquitee with info on some new player features and how you can volunteer to temporarily level down your PBE account to try them out!"Hey PBE Community!
As part of our ongoing effort to examine the way people learn League of Legends for the first time, we’re taking a look at a couple of the first things new players encounter. Current testers will need to request access to this content by asking to be leveled down, but new testers will be exposed to it for a few hours before they're auto-leveled to 30.
The landing page
The landing page is a critical space that we can use to deliver information and content to players. For veteran players, things like news articles and featured matches are easy to understand, but not much of that is relevant to a brand new player. For low-level accounts, we’re trying to customize this space to convey content that is informational and interesting to someone new to the game or the MOBA genre. We plan on exploring and iterating on this content over time, but would appreciate your feedback on this first pass.
Early champion choices
The Free to Play rotation is a great tool to give players access to different champions every week. There are some champions, however, that are simply not meant for a first time League of Legends or MOBA player to pick up and play immediately. We’ve identified champions that are better at introducing the mechanics of the game to a first-time player and implemented a tool that allows us to offer this alternative list to players under a certain level. By segregating these champion choices, we can make sure that the Free to Play rotation caters to the needs and desires of veteran players while offering new players access to champions with more straightforward mechanics.
This test on the PBE will not necessarily be using the optimized list of introductory champions since we know testers are veterans of the game, but we appreciate you testing the transition from the new player champion pool to the Free to Play rotation.
If you are a part of the new batch of PBE testers seeing this content for the first time, please take a look and give us your feedback - make your best attempt at viewing it from the eyes of a new player! The Onboarding team will be keeping an eye on this thread and addressing questions, concerns and speaking to our approach of teaching new players to play League.
If you are already a tester on the PBE and would like to have your level reset to be able to experience this content, please post in this thread and it will be reset.
Thanks!"

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
ReplyDeleteI have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
