Deciding on beta

[chawgtar]

I was curious as to how many people are going to start fresh on the beta server knowing that there will be transfers available? I mostly want to know to decide whether or not I want to spend time on it or just wait until release. Any input would be great. Thanks.

WAit... there's going to be transfer available? I thought everyone had to start fresh. This is JUST for the beta of red99 and not for the full release of red99, right? Are you telling me decked out 60s are going to be transferring from their characters from blue? Source on this?

[chawgtar]

It is just for beta and it is in the announcement on the front page.

Im guessing lack of responses = everyone will be rolling on their twinks/mains then.

im gonna start a ranger and see how bows are.

[bakkily]

yea im going to copy both my shm and ranger, shm only reason is so i can help pl peeps up on the test server, ect not for pvp, but my ranger ill test and see how they do, have a 34 ranger thats pretty well decked out in gear again, and with 165 archery, will see how they do and let you others know

If they allow Kunark gear to transfer intact, I'll probably spend one or two days goofing around and then lose any interest in the beta. I'll test resists, give a bit of feedback, and then come back when the server is ready. Kunark gear will make it impossible to have fun battles in the beta, and without that, there's no way it'll keep me interested for a month or however long it'll run. It'll just be a bunch of assclowns transfering their best p99 gear to the beta server so they can run around jerking off over gear that isn't available.

If they make it so Kunark gear doesn't transfer, or transfers only for level 60 characters and is flagged no-drop, I'll probably play every day of the beta.

[chawgtar]

Well if a large majority are going to be starting fresh then I will play on it because there will be things to do, but if everyone is just going to be decked out in kunark gear with me having no way to compete I will just wait for the actual release.

[Bockscar]

There'll be lots of people starting from scratch, but also hundreds of people from p99 using their transfered chars. And you can bet people are already stocking up on shit they want to transfer specifically to use it in the beta.

Stripped my 50 warrior/mage so not going back to gear them up..
but i did liquidate and have a twink lowbie druid/necro/rogue i will prolly transfer over to play lol
but its PVE gear so its low resists ;)

[Bazia]

I understand why transfers are happening (Testing right away without waiting for people to reach those levels)

Just is going to suck hiding from all the meta-twinks that are going to be reeking havoc on new characters.

I also have a p99 character, but looking forward to starting fresh :D

[georgie]

they should just strip all characters period. cept for melees weps. gg even-steven

[Bockscar]

But melee weapons are gonna be the biggest problem if they let Kunark gear transfer.

IMO they can let people transfer with as much shit as they want, the more the merrier so we can test resists right away, but just have a bit of code that erases all Kunark items in the transfer process if that's at all possible.

[vinx]

the 10x modifier will be nice for twinks that want to level up ASAP, then they dont need to farm stuffs...just go go go

but yea, flip side to that is...
twink battles in every zone and new chars will be naked on every level

[Mardur]

Just dropped 60k on my beta twink.

Come at me bro.

[Crenshinabon]

Isnt it naked transfers?
Way to waste 60k.
