it's dec 2nd.

[Gargazon]

I was under the understanding that the forced beta was from the 28th until the 1st. it's now the second. I could care less about playing a buffed character that will get wiped and would like to play my actual character now. Thanks.

[GinnasP99]

[Taminy]

GMs should let beta testers keep one item of their choice, IMO. Someone else suggested that and I think it's a good idea.

[Addica]

You made it this far, so obviously know how to read. Let me direct you somewhere that might help you understand the timeline of down time.

just boggles my mind how some people think

Kunark had a 'forced' beta test for a weekend as well, I would love for someone to dig up threads from that time and see all the QQ about not being able to farm Classic

I remember there was a Gorenaire raid that was well over 100+ people getting owned lol

[Tameth]

just give Daldaen and Eratani their titles for beta testing gods.

That Gore raid was sweet...

But man people need to calm down. This is an emulated server that you get to play on for free. Stop asking them to bring the server back up just for you. They don't care about you. Sorry.

They do what they do for classic EQ (so perfect that this rhymes... Atleast it does in my head).

It will be back when it's back.

I see Byrjun doing good work as well.
People who have done the Shawl and Ring chains also deserve awards cause those can be long quests.

Extend beta by one day for each of these threads I say.

It's a fucking FREE server. The least you can do is go help them test 3 days out of the past 1500 Kunark has been out.

I mean I've spent about 5 hours on the server and I already found 1, maybe 2 bugs. It's not rocket science: go to the 'Master List' on the Velious forums, pick a quest that is unverified, and try to do it. If 100 people each got a few friends and did one quest, Velious would be fucking out by now.

[fennixad]

Because cant you use Blue server to test velious for 3 days, turn it on again and then use red for another test... right?
Force testing on EQ? force testing a game that you need days for camp an item or leveling a single hell lvl or making faction? Dont think this is the right way; that is why you can get more than 200-300ppl testing velious beetween blue and red ppl.

Anyways, thanks for your awesome job, i rly appreciate that, i just like to be critical.

The whole thing is a mess.

A) You can't encourage and give incentive to people through force or power. If they weren't interested before, they'll be less after your strong arm tactics.

B) It's not the players' fault that BETA isn't left open more often, so that interested persons can go in and do bug testing/playing/reporting as you had hoped they would.

C) One weekend and a few days tacked on, isn't going to give you any useful information. 95% of people who were on the server did nothing but grind raids, which were facilitated by GMs or players with GM abilities, to summon, res and spawn monsters. Half of the battle of a raid is in the logistics, planning and recovery (particularly on contested mobs). None of that was encountered. All we did was sit around until we built up enough force to zerg or overpower dragons. And NONE of those activities were laden with bug or note taking by either the players or the staff.

D) The staff said themselves that the majority of bugs and issues were fixed or gone, and that didn't expect to find any thing major........



The entire weekend BETA has just been one fun server event, that amounted to nothing. If the staff so dearly wanted people to spend lots of time testing and experiencing BETA, then they should have had the server open much more often and given everyone GM summon/res power to encourage people to start up groups and raids, giving them unlimited access to content, in order to 'test' it.

Beta has been up since March with very little down time.

Are you bug report police? Are you sure that there was no bug reports or note taking occurring?

I don't know about you guys, but I've been having an uncharacteristically productive week of work so far this week...

Please turn the server back on before my boss starts to expect this from me regularly.

Thank you.

No one is forcing you to play beta, they're simply prohibiting you from playing any of their other servers. Deal with it and stop bitching. No one cares.

I personally think they should keep it going until they feel everything has benm thoroughly tested.

[webrunner5]

Please don't act like Velious is the second coming of Jesus Christ. I hate the damned expansion now and back in the day. And I am sure I am not alone. I like to solo and good luck with that happening without a LOT of Velious gear which, no normal person, is ever going to get in the first 6 months to a year on here.

So like I have said in a few threads before a lot of people will be Back to the first 2 expansions in a few months after they figure out they can't kill shit alone.

Most people on here are not in their moms basement with all the time in the world like the original game was. So grouping for 3 to 4 hours a nite is not in the cards. So how many classes can solo well in Velious. Gee I think I see 2 maybe 3 fingers up. :(

Half of us or more will still be in CoM, KC and Seb doing the same old shit. Hoping for a good pop or roll, while the top guilds will have Velious tied up for months and years just like Kunark was. Same oh same oh crap. Not impressed, but I am glad you are sort of getting your jollies off. :D

158 people on prime time. Yeah, "no one is forcing you to play beta, they are simply prohibiting you from playing any of their other server"
And im sure you are one of those 158ppl testing it, oh wait you are posting here... :) and u know why? because you dont want to test anything just like the most of the people, the big difference between you and me its you just want to be polite telling shits, and your english is mnuch better than mine (sorry about that).

15% of the people are playing velious, how many of them are rly testing it? 10%? nah probably less. So the MOST OF PEOPLE HERE 90% maybe more, just want to play :).

U know why they force us to test velious? because no one wants to... Doesnt it means something for you?

[Loke]

No, I'm not one of those 158 people, because I'm currently at work. However, you're wrong in your assumption I don't want to test. I've raided more on beta than I have on blue in the past 6 months (although to be fair, I haven't raided at all on blue in that time frame). Just because your a whiney dick who doesn't want to contribute doesn't mean everyone else is too. I can assure you I'll be on beta in a few hours once I'm home.

Can't help but agree. Velious was in my opinion mostly a raid expansion. All players in guilds that are currently in class C & R should be restricted from playing blue, while also restricting new blue accounts from being made during forced beta.
