Patch Notes: December 1st, 2014 - Page 24

My main page still says "sometimes Tuesday" ... and I also read on the Server forum a post about it being "Sometime Wednesday" ..... just play some EQ. Ran around on beta for a while and I couldn't find anything to contribute to bugging and fixing. I hope they get Velious smooth and solid, but to be honest, I'm still fresh here and I haven't gotten sick of Kunark yet! haha ... anyways, hope that NEXT week stuff is not true. That would be extremely depressing lol

Was the reagent requirement for the Amulet of the Void removed along with the recharge changes? Had info supporting that in the thread also, so just curious.

I'm very appreciative for what the devs do & that i re-discovered p99 through Twitch streamers back in late October. But everyone should be a bit considerate of folks w/opposing viewpoints on the server downtime issue.

I mean, the folks mostly complaining about the forced beta are players new to p99 who'd just got bitten by the Evercrack. It's understandable that longtime players on the server can't wait for velious to come out (but if so, why haven't you been helping to test since velious since its been on the test server?). As a whole community, I think we can learn quite a bit from this. It would've been helpful to:
1) Get some structured direction as to what specifically needed testing
2) More communication as to the actual duration of the beta (or stating up front that if not enough ppl tested, it'd be extended by X)
3) Having all testing-related info neatly on one page/thread (how to submit a bug report, how to structure bug reports for max efficiency for both submitters & devs, what needed testing broken down by class/zone, etc.)

What's done is done. Tuesday's come & gone w/no further update as to when servers are coming back up. All we can do is test our best & provide structured feedback so this experience isn't replicated the next time something needs a heavy dose of testing.

Or there are always other games to play. I'm over this already.

In all honesty, I am enjoying the time I get to beta test, its better then sitting around grinding for no reason other than pixels. At least it makes us feel important for a while, then we are back to toxic casual scum.

Some of you fools are hopelessly addicted. Haven't had your fix in a few days so you start getting foul-tempered, irritable, and probably itchy. Take a few seconds, look around you, past the poop socks and stacks of KFC Bowls of Sadness, and take a deep breath. Let the owner of the server do what he needs to do so you can enjoy a form of entertainment you do not have to pay for and do not have to enjoy.
