so what does this mean if they finish what they think they needed to do on a monday it will just sit there for 5 days?

My guess is that if the streamers reveal any showstoppers over the weekend, they will try to fix it on Monday and release on Tuesday. Otherwise, hopefully we will have it Monday.

 
Assuming this works like most software development, "finished" means "we've fixed all the showstoppers, and we are left with an acceptable number of minor issues that we don't mind releasing with".
So the five days won't be spent just sitting there, but will be taken advantage of to stomp on a number of those outstanding minor issues.

Of course, what's more likely is that the decision that there are an acceptable number of minor issues left and the release can happen will take place on a meeting that's held on a Friday, so there won't be those five days.

Where are you all seeing 5 days in that answer? Released to streamers on a Friday and then A17E on that Monday or Tuesday and the tuesday has the caveat of "if needed" so I'm assuming that means if there are any major bugs that show up during stream that need squashed. So 3 days maybe 4.

 
The last testing branch update was 2 days ago. To me, this usually means either they found a major bug and are stomping it, or everyone is approaching burnout and they took the weekend off. Either way, the weekend of the 4th/5th would be the earliest, so y'all can go take a nice little nap and stop stressing.

First MM gameplay, then Spider Meme, then Stream Blitz. So unless they change the order, do some of those in parallel, or stream outside of the "blitz", no.

Maybe MM is making some of those gameplay videos right now. I can dream, right? X3

No, they have testers that keep them plenty busy already. Streamers will get it Friday so they will not have a chance to make a "Golden Path" Min/Max for your character.

There are two streamers I know of that experiment, its just how they roll and by Sunday stream will have at lease a few good, solid tips to give out.

* I already know two A17 tips from watching videos but you will have no spoilers from me on this thread.

Madmole isn't going to sign off on A17 unless and until he can play through several in-game days without encountering a showstopper.

He will record at least one of those play-through attempts.

He will release one of those play-through attempts.

Laz will post his spider meme.

Stuff will turn green up above.

Streamers will start streaming on a Friday

People will watch and comment.

People will start playing on a Monday three days after that Friday.

People will start asking about A18 on a Tuesday four days after that Friday....

 
I'll be...

You forgot the F5... YOU forgot F5... How hard is it to remember F5???

Its just one simple key... but it is THE KEY to A17 release!!!

It releases the Kraken!!!!

It probably keeps the Earth turning!!!!
