So this is just stress testing the server?
I guess that works. But if we should try to find bugs, this is not possible with a clean state for all game areas
quests like mirror maze, elemental education, no maze no more, 4 corners, sneaky, (shamans) are pretty much impossible to test with a 1 week ironman as they are too hard without proper gear.
Will there be a seperat test for these? Also will you "force" some dc's from your side to see if the "state saving fix" works fine?

Sounds like cloning the original servers items and characters would be better for beta since more options to do stuff :ph34r:

Expect more details on this to be announced on Monday.



The main testing will not revolve around quests, more so general game play. That being said if you start a quest and disconnect, reconnect and are still able to attempt the quest that is what we're really worried about.

Yeah that is also my main concern. I'd like to test MM with the new system, as this is the only quests hevaily affected by dc's

Understood.

But you would have a lot more beta testers if the gear was cloned

understood, but this isn't something we're considering at this time.

We need to walk before we run. Hence starting with a clean slate. If the harder quests are become a concern we'll deal with that at that time.

Understood

I will try to play when I can but being during week it will be hard

sounds good, appreciate it. I'm excited to get v1.32 solid. I'm quite confident everyone will love the ability to resume where you left off should you get disconnected. Moving from phone to desktop and vice versa is quite neat too. :)
