What do we want to see in beta?

[greatdane]

Could you elaborate?

According to bug posts, bolt spells are all kinds of messed up on p99. They miss half the time, and if you start casting another spell before the bolt physically reaches the target, it disappears. I guess mages make it work since it's a blue server and there's much more leeway like that, but on a PvP server, you can't just wait until your bolt spell resolves before you begin casting, or make sure you're always exactly on the same horizontal level as your target. That'll cause big problems in PvP.

It should be released in waves something like levels 1-5(or maybe 1-8 depending on pvp+/- level range). You would not be able to level past 5 for two days so that people could have time to actually fight against eachother instead of focusing on leveling.
Then on the third day everyone who isnt 5 already is boosted to level 6. Then for two days its levels 6-10,11-15,16-20... It continues to 50 or 55 or whatever. This tests all of the levels and promotes pvp which is what we want to really test.

If you start halfway through the process, you cant make a level 1. You would be forced to make whatever wave they are in.

I think this would promote the most pvp.

You can easily adjust the time between level brackets from 1 day each bracket to 1 week depending on how fast testing results can be analyzed and delt with, maybe there will be few bugs....

Beta will take forever that way.

!level 50 command and summon items enabled, then pvp for a few weeks, then release IMO.

Content is good noone cares about the possible fire beetle leg quest mistake.

Yeah, I would expect nothing less from you Harrison. You are too yellow to show up on the server, so you take the juvenile route and steal names. Pretty brave. I bet you vote democrat too.

This is a huge bug. Bolts also take FUCKING FOREVER to get to the target sometimes.

All I care about is some kind of balanced resist system.

i will follow Tilly into battle

Resists definately the major problem. Thank god for nilbog!

It shouldn't take too long to get a close-enough resist system established. The general milestones were always well-known, and plenty of testing has already been done. It's not as if resists are completely screwed up on p99, it probably just takes a little extra fine-tuning to get everything smoothed out for PvP. It's the kind of thing that's super easy to do heavy tests with.

I want to know if they are going to stick to classic as close as possible? Are they going to try to make CC spells viable or are they going to be like on live back in the day (100-ish MR and it was almost impossible to land them)? If they make it viable I'm gonna make a paladin or ranger and lolrape.
