    Don't abandon the Beta Server

    Tynon forum family, if you agree with the below add your feedback, I think if they continued using the beta server to test new updates and changes before implementing them into the live game we might enjoy the game even more than we do now. The developers of this game have been very kind to us and have actually responded with bug fixes and version updates related to the things we report to them surprisingly fast. Perhaps if we all band together and show our support for what I have mentioned below it might be something they see value in which not only will make them more money but will also make the game a happier place for us to spend our time.


    Dawn, Dave forward this message to the people you report back to.


    uCool please don't abandon the Beta server.

    In every successful game I have played with the longest being FFXI or Final Fantasy 11 online (a subscription based MMORPG) what made the game even more memorable and enjoyable was the introduction of beta or test servers where changes to the game were tested before they were implemented. I realize that you guys have a team that most likely tests updates before you guys roll them out but it isn't enough.

    I want to go on record and state that I very much emphatically love this game, it's great. I will never come on here and berate the game or its developers even though it is something that I have thought about several times whilst pondering an outlet for my frustration at not being able to play or with various glitches. What I am asking is that you guys remember this game started with a "Beta" server, utilize it, you guys created a place that now has a pre-established player base with whom you can utilize to test various aspects of the game before you implement an update. I get the feeling and I could be wrong that you guys are testing changes to the game in a very limited closed controlled environment which is a complete and total opposite of the reality where every change you make miniscule or otherwise causes an increases stress load on the servers which leads to an increase of frustration within the player base that you are striving to grow and maintain.

    All games have issues when their servers are brought down for maintenance it is just a fact of life that when they return to operating status they will be sluggish as they struggle to accommodate the amount of people that are all attempting to login at the same time. It is unacceptable to bring a game back online or to implement an update to a game when it is not ready.

    Please, please, I implore you guys to use us, the players from the Beta Server, let us test the new updates to the game there before you implement an update, let us provide you feedback from a real time environment that operates at the same level as the regular servers so that the ramifications of any changes that are being considered can be fully examined. This really benefits the game when you think about it in retrospect, you have a place to test and determine how successful an update will be and you experience less downtime. Less downtime and interruptions in gameplay leaves you with a very satisfied player base which in turn leads to more people actually spending money in the game because when you are happy with what you are doing you tend to want to proverbially "own" your character.

    Furthermore instead of jumping on every problem and attempting to fix it immediately instead spend a period of time collecting data on what is wrong with the game, then give us your players who would love to give your our money some expectations for us to enjoy the game.

    What I mean by this is give us a roadmap for bug fixes and version updates. For example let us use a scenario; Arena is broken or is glitch. Identify the issue from the game or as reported by your players. Determine how long it will realistically take to have a permanent fix, if it will take 2 weeks or a month let us know. Then create the fix, implement it on the beta server, let your beta players test it for you! Once it is stable from testing and is approved release it to everyone else.

    Using that perspective sets expectations for everyone and will relieve the rush to fix a problem haphazardly which will cause more issues for you in the game and will reduce the amount of complaining about issues with the game from your players. Please consider this request it will give you guys more time to enjoy the money you are making from the game that we love to play and it will give us more satisfaction knowing that the developers understand all we want is to be informed.

    This is a great game, let us help make it even better!

    uCool,请不要抛弃的Beta服务器。

    在每一个成功的游戏,我已经打了最长的FFXI最终幻想11在线为基础的MMORPG(认购)是什么让游戏 更加难忘和愉快的引进改变游戏进行了测试,测试或测试服务器之前,他们实施。我知道,你们有一个团队,最有 可能的测试更新之前你们滚出来,但它是不够的。

    我想去记录在案,并强调我非常热爱这个游戏的状态,它的伟大。我永远都不会来这里,痛斥游戏或它的开发,即 使它是东西,我想过几次,而我的挫折感在琢磨一个出口不能够播放或各种故障。我问的是什么,你们还记得这个 游戏开始,一个“测试版”服务器,利用它,你们创造了一个地方,现在有一个预先设定的玩家群,与谁,你可以 利用测试各方面的游戏,在你面前实施更新。给我的感觉,我可能是错的,你们是测试游戏非常有限的封闭控制的 环境中,这是一个完整的,完全相反的现实,每次进行修改微乎其微或其他原因增加的应力负荷服务器,从而导致 增加玩家群内的挫折,你正在努力发展和维护。

    所有游戏有问题时,他们的服务器停机维护,它仅仅是一个不争的事实,当他们返回到工作状态,他们将是缓慢的 ,因为他们的斗争,以容纳量的人,都试图在同一时间登录。带来了游戏重新联机或实施更新游戏时,它是没有准 备好,这是不可接受的。

    拜托,拜托,我恳请你们使用我们,从Beta服务器的玩家,让我们测试新的更新,游戏中有你实现更新之前, 让我们为您提供的反馈实时工作在相同的环境作为常规的服务器,这样的后果正在考虑的任何变化,可以充分检验 水平。这真的有利于比赛的时候,你想想看,现在回想起来,你有一个地方进行测试,并确定如何成功的更新将您 遇到更少的停机时间。更少的停机时间和中断,让你在游戏中一个非常满意的球员基础,从而导致更多的人其实在 游戏中花钱,因为当你快乐时,你在做什么你往往希望以众所周知的“自己”,你的性格。

    此外,而不是跳跃的每一个问题,并试图立即解决它,而不是花了一段时间收集数据,什么是错的游戏,然后给我 们你的球员,谁愿意给你我们的钱为我们一些期望享受比赛。

    我的意思是这是给我们的错误修复和版本更新的路线图。例如,让我们使用这样一个场景,竞技场损坏或故障。从 比赛中找出问题,或所报告你的球员。确定多久将切实采取有一个永久性的修复,如果将需要2个星期或一个月, 让我们知道。然后创建修复,实现它的测试服务器上,让您的测试玩家测试为你!一旦它是稳定的,从测试,并批 准其释放其他人。

    使用这个角度来看,设置为大家的期望,并会减轻急于胡乱解决一个问题,这将导致更多的问题,你在游戏中,将 减少从你的球员在比赛中的问题与抱怨。请考虑这个要求,它会给你们更多的时间来享受你的钱正在从我们喜欢玩 的游戏,它会给我们带来更多的满意知道,开发商明白我们要的是被告知。

    这是一场伟大的比赛,让我们来帮助使其更好!

    Yeah but what I want is for them to continue to use the beta server, where I also still play, as their testing grounds for new things and fixes before they get implemented into the live game.

    Would make this game much more enjoyable. Also while we have less issues there it has been mentioned before by Dawnseeker that they are not currently focused on providing support to the beta server anymore which I think is something that should be reconsidered.

    Sad, I have almost no problem in Beta.

    No support, no patches, nothing.

    Everyone who participated in Beta knew this was inevitable.

    People have to realize this, and move on.
    The point I was trying to make and what I was trying to ask was that they continue to use the beta server as a testing ground. Dawnseeker previously mentioned that all support was focused on the live servers at this time but never specifically advised the beta server was dead.
