Notice the "hopefully"

[Andy]

The reason its a Beta patch is because its still being tested and being fixed for bugs and game balance.
It will be implemented once all the issues (hopefully) have been sorted out and it works fine 100%.

But how can they test it when no one is that those levels?

That's great ~except~ no one is near lev 100 there. So if they wait it could take a while to see if the bloody thing works. That could be weeks away. SIGH At least it's a step in the right direction.

They should create some players with level 99 and 100 etc that are almost ready to up-level and let them play to test. They can ask for volunteers that know that they are test players and will not be able to used them after the test is over. That is called creating test cases. Same for the map. Give them enough power to beat some of the Map monsters to they can test the different levels.

There may have to be some rules about attacking other players etc so that they do not end up abusing the test players do not unbalance the exiting players. Another thing they could do is create an alpha server where all that there will be is test players that are created to test the new conditions. This is different from the normal testing that is done in that the test players will be trying things by playing normally that the developers did not think of testing.

Looking at the Beta rankings, there is one that is level 98 already, with several at level 96-97.
They should reach level 100 within the week or next.

I hope once this patch goes live that all those above level 100 gets reset to level 100, to be fair to everyone.

No need to go through all that trouble. No one is in a hurry here.

They didn't reset people in Title when they changed reqs for that, they simply had to meet the new requirements to level up or get the benefit. That can apply here. Resetting is not fair, not our fault we got there before they were ready.

I think there is not much to test to increase drop rate, or even for levels.. they simply increase. I can see testing on the new area. That may take BETA longer to achieve, not sure if they are as far as LIVE accts are in quest/HR.

Herby - you are mean. >: { LOL Reset all over 100?? There are none to reset on BETA. But i just hope someone is close enough to test the new area, that is not in stats so we can't see who (if anyone) is close.

[Andy]

but that means that it will take one or two weeks before it can be testes and move to the game servers and it will be tested by only 3 people at most. That is unnecessary. If they set up some test players it can be tested now and more players can test.
