Can't TEST anything with xp this low in BETA

[Abysal]

Myself and Darksinga would like to level up to test certain songs and spells / spawns / drop rates but spending 100 hours to get lvl 30 on beta is pointless because chars are going to be wiped obviously. In an effort to test spells, songs, and spawns there should be ALOT more xp or a command to level up just to test certain things. what do the admins think?

[Harrison]

Cry more, there's a thread one fucking slot down.

Just release live and there will be 500 people to test shit out.

Look at my post on the other thread, but to sum it up as Stasis said it, no one wants to hardcore for a week to get fifty on a beta that's lasting two weeks.

[Diggles]

he said several weeks at minimum and as long as it needs to be.

This could be multiple months to a year of testing. Calm your nuts.

[Sprinkle]

im 20 and rising xp is super fast and i farm alot of people , makin fat coin and my dick grows with every dead grindcore

[Darksinga]

When was the last time you stepped away from your computer? 90% of the population doesn't want to spend so much time on a beta..

When you and Darksinga are developers we'll prioritize your ability to #command level yourselves.

Exp is way too slow, ive killed multiple fishbait in misty.. and im still only 10, wtf.

[Doors]

It's fine.

[Galacticus]

It's fine.

Lol it's fine now, wait a week or two when people hit he'll levels. Everyone can solo till 20.

Wait till the hardcore grinders get 50 and all they do is kill level 42s because there is no point to gear up.

Wait till server transfers happen and everyone who doesn't have a high level char quits because they are 30 and some dude and his lvl 38 he just transferred over, who didn't spend the last 3 weeks leveling on a new server with rusty weapons makes them lose xp they worked hard for.

The only people who will be left are the hardcore grinders trying to stay ahead of the crowds or the trolls who got no lives and live to troll.

Neither of which will spend the time or even care to give good and actual fair feedback.

These are the guys who will take noted on exploits instead of reporting them so they can use them on live.

Spawns and drop rates? What? This is a PvP beta. Blue shit should be fine as it is a clone of blue99.

[Bockscar]

Should have done this:

> Disable any form of XP gain.

> Put an NPC in each city that bumps your level to x. Every few days, x goes up by 10.

> Put a vendor next to the leveling NPC with free gear that matches what can be obtained at whatever the current level bracket is.

> Make one of the zones non-PvP but /duel enabled and have an NPC that casts a +500 mana and HP regen buff on you when hailed. Buff fades if you leave that zone.

That'll let people test whatever the hell they want rather than require grinding and gearing up on a fucking beta server or having a character and appropriate gear waiting on blue99 for when they enable transfers. The non-PvP zone will let people power-test resists in an environment where they won't get ganked every 30 seconds. That'll give actual feedback and numbers worth looking at. If people want to test quests and drop rates (dunno why, they're all working since p99 has had two years to fine-tune this) they can freely do so. All that's happening right now is 50% of the server is poopsocking to get to 50 the fastest without testing a fucking thing, and 50% of the server is stuck in a gfay griefing moshpit where they can't test a fucking thing.

Beta could take a week or two, but I guess we have to waste our time killing orcs and skeletons to make it take a month or more.

[Darksinga]

PvP beta? That's laughable.

I've yet to see one good pvp battle. The only thing I've seen are low level mages/necros dominating level 2's.

And the lvl 20 guys blue it up together with no peeveepee

guess you have not been around guk or oasis.. when u lvl past lvl 3 u can see big things

[Darksinga]

Darksinga, lvl 6 bard, R.I.P.

[Bockscar]

What, like grinding in Oasis or Guk? I can do that when the server opens. If they let us actually test what needs to be tested, it'd open much sooner.

[Harrison]

So many whiny fucking pussies.

[Titanuk]

lots of pvp

[Banai]

god damn you people cry about everything lol.. its great that beta is up and running, exp will be slow once the serveris live too so may as well get used to it and try to enjoy it

No YT: no pvp

lol

[Runningfish]

yea damn man... a lot of cryin goin on. I agree for testing purposes they should make some ways to get to certain levels faster. However atleast part of the reason for it being how it is is so we could actually enjoy the server for a bit this first week.. I think I remember reading they would be putting that stuff in later. Go gank nubs, let off some steam.

[nilbog]

If you can't level fast enough for your liking, test low level pvp. Others are leveling fine.

[Rust1d?]

Why are people in such a rush? I think one of the good things about this server is that low level pvp is going to be the core of pvp'ing. This will be one of the only servers where you will be pvp'ing at levels other than 50. I intend to play a class/race I never played beofre and enjoy myself on this server.

I just hope the devs do not give in to one or two whiners like Image and Devnoob did.

[Hovis]

yeah 90% are in their grandma's basement with no lives.. and im sure they will probably eventually get burned out..
point of this beta is to test pvp.. not pve.. everyone knows pve shit.. and also.. most of the pve that actually matters, i.e. raids, high lvl zones with decent drops will be done with a group of 50s to make it somewhat easy to camp things.

if u want more accurate bug reports for the problems with pvp.. then make it easier to get max level.. point of this server is PVP.. not pve sir. (PVE is for p99 nor R99)

also i have read about kunark pvp needing to be tested.. why not make it easy to get 50 test for a few weeks.. then when everything is fixed.. make it kunark level and do the same...

Everything will be fixed within 2 months max and everyone will be happy//

yeah bro cuz everyone is gonna level an alt, get them level 20 just to pvp on them... get real......
(when r99 goes live)

[Hovis]

sorry for all the posts but i have been reading quite a bit and havent posted anything lol...

i believe character transfers will be allowed soon? level 60s in a classic era?
if thats willing to be done how about the people who dont have a high lvl toon on p99 that want to test things out?

youre doin something wrong imo lol

[lethdar]

Jesus dude, you cant get past lvl 6 and you're a bard?

Beyond Pathetic.

[Dalem]

Level 20 as a pally with 10 hours played there must be a bug on your char

he can.. its the fact of wanting to spend all that time in beta man

Yes, I also suggested something similar.

Rogean is a smart guy, I am beginning to think the reason xp is slow because they dont have alot of time to fix things and making people level is their way of cutting down pvp bug reports to a more manageable volume.


A lot of people won't invest this much time for beta, you can already see numbers dwindling.

[mitic]

it will take at least a month for hardcore players to get decent gear and maxlvl on the real server. if we dont test the low and midrange NOW, it will be a unbalanced and no fun

ppl might leave because of the current leveling speed but those bitching pussies would leave anyways as soon they are max lvl so its better to keep it as it is.

i do see one thing in threads like this. ppl will never stop bitching, same what nilbog and staff do for us.

lulz.

[Darksinga]

Like I've said in other posts, xp rate is fine, but why should I grind for a week to test PvP out on a beta server.

If they really want to test low level/mid range pvp then why not just make xp rate ridiculously fast or allow GMs to pop us to 20/30 etc?

PvE doesn't need to be tested folks, it's been tested for 2 fkn years on P99.

[Muaar]

id love to help beta test but i cant invest as much time as id like into leveling a character that will be wiped. I have to save that for launch.

[Rystar]

Sad thing is no suggestions will be taken serious because the wipe team just rides eachothers nuts in every thread.

I don't care either way but seriously if the pop is going down like someone posted then maybe you should take Boxcars's suggestion in to account. I mean why not allow everyone a certain level per week (20, 30, 40, 50) and let um battle it out. Don't even allow exping off mobs just loot to farm to entice PvP. If you want to test PvP mechanics then that is the best way to do it.

[Softcore PK]

What's everyone complaining about?

Level Bumps
We will not have any level bumps initially as we want all levels to help test, but over time we may introduce an NPC to help players along.

[boss]

all i know is that this is based off of p99. p99 has been tested and the pve works correctly, correct? what needs to be tested here is the pvp portion of this server...will finish when i wake up...maybe

[Softcore PK]

Uhm. But Rogean said he'd maybe add an NPC to bump levels if he thought the server needed it. I think the devs generally know what sort of information they need, and if they're not getting it then they will powerlevel you.

Look at the pvp bug forum. They already have a LOT of improvements to make; I imagine they're spending time doing that atm, not worrying about not having enough information from beta testers.
