Yeah, because people have things like work and school to do during the DAY.

During peak times the pop is around 100. Did you know that during Kunark beta there were never more than 40 people beta testing at any time (unless p99 went down)? This was for testing an entire expansion's content! Beta is doing as good as you can expect. Testing has been done and people are waiting for the next patch to see how the changes went.

[Bockscar]

Everyone's two-boxing, so it's half of the number you see on the server list. It only peaks at 100 for a few of hours, the other 20 hours of the day it's more like 30-50 boxed characters. What's more telling is the complete absence of things like extensive resist data, and that's because there's far too few characters at any given level and with the kind of gear they'd have at that level if it was classic XP. It wouldn't have taken much, even something as little as a few NPCs in Kerra Isle or some other zone nobody goes to that you can hail to get a variety of custom resist buffs. One could give a +50 all resists, one could give +100 all resists, and one could give a huge hp/mana regen buff so people don't have waste large amounts of time meditating and healing back up while testing stuff. The current beta setup is really keeping people from doing much serious testing.

imo if ya'll beta complainers spent half the time beta testing as you do typing these giant mega essay posts you could have single handedly tested the resist system you are concerned about with every class of every race.

pretty sure the dev's know what needs fixing at this point and just need time to get caught up.
and like i said, imo making beta ez and having it max pop like red 99 live is gonna be would just slow things down by flooding the bug forum with piles of mostly the same shit

Cry more.

You spend 10x as much time crying on the forums than you do actually testing, digging through the wayback machine for research, etc.

You, and obviously others, would rather whine about how the beta is run than actually doing anything constructive. This post is just another fucking vagina bleed.

Learn to beta. Stop fucking crying and get shit done rather than complain about how you have to *GASP* beta test. This beta is no different than any I've ever participated in for an MMO, other than it has more retards complaining on the forums about inconsequential shit. You never see "OMG leveling is too slow" on beta forums for other games. Yet, here you pussies are..."hardcore pvpers" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its not wise to open an amusement park and tell the testers ok go test what you like and come back and tell me about it. You cant expect to test the brakes on a rollercoaster when everyone just wants to go fast or they are in the haunted mansion or the gift shop.

So you're testing the boats, unrest and EC tunnel?

People were boxing on Kunark beta too, genius.

Boxing helps. Get two or three chars and start casting on each other. Make a shaman and buff up their resists and see how that effects them.

The resists are so fkin terrible right now no one is bothering to test them until it gets changed.

Beta is your chance to log in and help test and get what you've all been asking for. Test it, post the shit and get back to it.

As far as "being fixed in a timely manner", this isn't the WoW arena pvp board where you can arm-chair-cry/develop in unison to get what you want.

Well, maybe not, good job trolling them into thinking no item loot was a good idea along with an 8 level range.
