Beta Plz

[Ames]

PLEASE

[Rushmore]

WE DONT NEED BETA

[mimixownzall]

What would you really need for a beta? All you need are some ppl on there to hit/cast on eachother and test the pvp aspect of it. Not like you need an entire server up and running, unless you want to test the hardware since it is new.

[Kelsar]

with no item loot, there truly isn't a need for beta.

stopped going to school just incase red comes out while i'm at school.

[dusk883]

Just for my own clarification, what's the hard part of all this anyway? Why is this different from, say, releasing the "pvp version" of the coin operated JOUST game I loved as a kid? Flip a few bits, no?

I'm guessing they need to

1) get the hardware set up

2) send it to the datacenter

3) set the server up and make sure it runs properly

4) decide on a ruleset

5) code that ruleset

Resist checks, AC checks, spells (such as charm).

PvP actually has to work pretty differently than normal PvE otherwise we'd be overwhelmed with bugs and people would be exploiting left and right *cough*

[dusk883]

Ahhhh

Any chance Rogean has said ANY of the following?

-"within 6 months"
-"next year say 2012 summertime"
-"any date"

Anything like that? Just wondering if he's given anyone any clues... anyTHING AT ALL OMFG

[Kope]

-"within 6 months"
-"next year say 2012 summertime"
-"any date"

He's working on it

[XiakenjaTZ]

No beta, just play it. Tweak it later if needed.

And no date has been given.

[mitic]

rogean said he will build the server this week. so dont expect anything at least till next week.

[XiakenjaTZ]

Sweet!

[dusk883]

Here's what I think... correct me if I'm wrong and I'm likely wrong because I don't have time in the day to check the forums often... but I'm under the impression that Rogean has the ability now to weed out cheaters and the like. So... with that said I'm PRETTY SURE that the population won't REALLY care if we're "exploiting" a class advantage on someone right guys? Meaning "OMFG his CHARM lasted on me for 35 secs, that's BS" etc...

We'll just DEAL with it, am I right?

So.. if we're feeling relatively safe against most cheats in the game, would it be fair to assume that 95-99% of the population would agree to not whine about class advantages/disadvantages and play like it was 1999 where we just HAPPY that the game existed and the server happened to be up? I remember distinctly that not only did I not care if soandso was charming my ass into guards, that in 1999 I was happier than hell if my ping was under 500...

I'm also guessing that a lot of the time we are spending during our "just stfu and wait for Rogean to say we can play" is being spent on Rogean trying to come up with a "this is fair, this isn't fair" policy which then turns into a code session or 100 sessions.

IMO we should all be saying, "ROGEAN just tell us how it is, how its gonna be and we'll just take it. ASAP would be GOOD, sir"

WHY are we listening at all to people who's main pvp experience, IMO, is from emu servers that were nothing like back in the day... Rogean knows better than the "emu vztz" crowd just IMHO...

We'll all be "good" with the idea of Rogean just flippin whatever bits he wants, no mo discussion IMO, lets play durnit

[dusk883]

that said, I'm sure i'll be the first to whine if Rogean lets us play tomorrow...

"wtf snared for 2min?!"

WE DONT NEED BETA

Beta has already been confirmed, join the irc channel its posted when you join.

[Humerox]

S would it be fair to assume that 95-99% of the population would agree to not whine about class advantages/disadvantages and play like it was 1999 where we just HAPPY that the game existed and the server happened to be up?

It's not that at all. imo. The problems weren't class balance, everyone knows classes in EQ PvP can never be balanced...and shouldn't be.

The problems were in the PvP mechanics. There were a lot of things adjusted and corrected on live that should be implemented AND TESTED on R99 for a reasonably enjoyable PvP experience.
