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.]

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

Edit: Added Gloinz quote that I didn't see while responding.

You talk about being constructive like you know what it means. Try giving some actual ideas rather then more criticism.

This thread is all about testing more effectively.

Trolls point fingers and say you're wrong, and then have no clue why or what a better idea would be.

We know the devs aren't all about TL;DR like most of the idiots who have no idea about what their talking about.

Try helping bro. Try it, if possible.

You guys have no idea how much I'm trying to juggle with the preparation and release of R99.. My life is literally a clusterfuck right now.

Having said that I am trying really hard not to have to give up getting this server released, however I really need help from the community in the forum of moderation of the bug forums and helping us with information, feedback, and prioritizing things.

I haven't even barely had time to read the forums in the last 2 weeks.

Disclaimer: This post isn't meant to be a complaint of 'what I have to deal with', merely pointing out that it is not a lack of caring, it is simply a lack of time.

Lets take some time and help with these things as much as possible to take some of the work off their shoulders.

Delegate! Good lord. No one expects you to do it all. There tons of talented folks around here who would be more than happy to help ... This goes for Blue99 too!

I've helped manage many a project. Sign me up.

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.

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.

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?
