How do i gain access too the test servers, as the animist Team Leader has just dropped im considering some extensive tests and i dont think it would be right if i asked someoen from say mid or albion to help me in these tests as it might be seen as cheating.

Just wondering (ps will need some albion and midds)

For the time being the only way you can access the internal test servers is by being part of the E&E team. If you are not but would be interested in joining then you can apply via Rightnow in the "Life on your server" subsection.

If you're considering extensive tests and suchlike, on the order of TL level, then I suggest you play on the US servers where there is a "proper" test server for this. The EU test server is there mainly for bugtesting the new patches.

imo, EU should have their own TLs and own DEVs. Mythic ones are useless. Read the TL feedback from 1.70?

problem is we cant really do much regarding class balancing or game balancing all that is done by mythic although it would be nice if we could some how gain access to the pendraggon servers through mythic so that us europeans could have a say in things .

Well, it's upto Goa really... I'm positive Mythic could find a couple of good coders that can take care of the coding part over here in europe.. (No frenchies(!))

but then you end up with the problem, what if we ask for somthing and the US players dont get it and we do.

Say im the team leader for animists here and i say

Goa can animists have a lvl 50 life tap like every other class (btw the first person who says we gets a lvl 50 shroom doesnt get a pony for christmas :D)

Now the US has repeatadly said this as a NO but if goa gave it to animists then effectivly your changing the core game.

Likewise if goa suddenly decided that Infils shouldnt get 2.5 spec points and instead gave them 2.2 or such how many EU infils would get so anoyed and leave EU and head state side.

Its not really in goas best interest to change the game they didnt design it they only run it Mythic designed it and some how know what they want to do with the end game.

ps give co-op server multi language.

We absolutely can't make game balance changes. Even if we wanted to, we aren't allowed to. We'd have to ask Mythic and get them to implement it, so it would go through Pendragon testing and then live on US servers before it was seen on Euro servers.
The only things we can add are roleplay elements (like the roleplay merchants or Whiskers the Cat) and non balance affecting background stuff (like the events we run or the Goa quests for example).

Or atleast a public server where we could preform our own tests.
As tests are rather dificult doing on regular servers without breaking CoC. :)

Aha, so people could chose to play there instead and have fun exploited all bugs in game legal?

But if Goa said something i'm pretty sure Mythic would listen. As they obviously don't care about their players opinions.

Can't you change my model then or name? :p I'm pretty tired of them both. I'd like a frosty, or a frosty in trollsize or a troll that sounds like a frosty. :wub:

Having a public test server is pointless, the only thing people do on them is get all their mates together and Duel :)
