The beta server needs more user support. - Page 3

Methinks you need a few appointed testers with GM powers to really speed things along.

You got some people making very well organized tests and results but imagine how many quests they could bang out with the ability to spawn items/npcs and hand things in.

I wouldn't give this to everyone on the beta server, but people who are really showing drive in banging out quests could really use it.

(I'm more interested in a few existing odds and ends before moving in on Velious beta.. mechanics > content imo)

Pending update:

Added Box of the Void, mana batteries, and jade inlaid coffins to one of the giant gnome vendors.

Speaking to the gnomes will allow some faction utilities.

Awesome!

Okay 40 clicks is reasonable. I'll be sure to do that and check out some quests.

Also the armor quest gems are somewhat of a crap shoot getting them to drop. Any chance a vendor could be made that sells them:

Quote:

Melee - Warrior, Rogue, Monk, Ranger, Shadowknight, Paladin, Bard
Priest - Cleric, Druid, Shaman
Caster - Wizard, Enchanter, Mage

Black Marble - Priest Breastplate
Chipped Onyx Sapphire - Priest Legs
Crushed Black Marble - Melee Boots
Crushed Coral - Melee Helmet
Crushed Flame Emerald - Melee Bracer, Priest Boots
Crushed Flame Opal - Caster Helm
Crushed Jaundice Gem - Caster Boots
Crushed Lava Ruby - Priest Gloves
Crushed Onyx Sapphire - Priest Helm, Caster Bracer
Crushed Opal - Priest Bracer
Crushed Topaz - Melee Gloves, Caster Gloves
Flawed Emerald - Melee Arms
Flawed Sea Sapphire - Melee Legs
Flawed Topaz - Caster Arms
Flawless Diamond - Melee Breastplate
Jaundiced Gem - Priest Arms
Nephrite - Caster legs
Pristine Emerald - Caster Breastplate

I have an eroded leather piece or two. I'd like to see after incremental faction increases the bare minimum on a turnin... But I can't get the gems. Atleast without grinding velks solo for 100s of hours solo praying for the gem I need.

a couple of bug reports are in about gem drops everywhere, but they haven't been addressed yet.

gem vendor to test at least the thurgadin quests would be nice, since we can't get tov drops yet.

+1. I'm sure if you had a post with 'please test x, y, and z' up those things would get crossed off sooner rather than later. I was actually talking to Bier and we'd both be down to play beta but I had (and have) zero ideas how to do anything useful there.

Nilbog thanks for the improvements to the gnomes with factions! I'm actually excited to get on and see if I cannot complete a set of dwarf armor if I can find a tank and some dps to play with and farm gear.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but everyone is always bitching (I mean expressing nicely) how they want EXP BONUS weeks/weekends on Blue99. Why doesn't the staff implement some strat like Dal mentioned for when certain things are fully tested the normal servers get an EXP Buff.

Lame I know, but it might just be enough to draw more interest over. And obviously if some raid content was around you would have 200+ more people over since everything is dead within 30 seconds on the blue server as well...
