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.
YES... cuz at the rate i earn exp, and for all the days since i had 0 exp on everything i would have made at least some. And if they reset us back, would we lose everything that we passed?? But, thankfully, it's not up to you. I'm sure the Dev's understand what it cost us so far.
Yes, they should take into consideration the xp that could have been gained otherwise.
But at the same time, they should take into serious consideration the levels that were greatly fast-tracked due to the very low requirements in xp.
Fate could be level 110 already when the patch goes live. It would then be a futile effort since there's nothing yet past level 110, and more complaints would come in.
But you miss the point that those levels were only under a mil for 101, and 102.. 1mil for 103... and so on. It's not like he "fast-tracked" them. If they apply that to a normal 101, it works out. And we did labs, sails, arena stakes.. all 0!! And they also put 0 credits which have nothing to do with leveling. I have no desire to argue, but unless you are over 100, you just don't see it like we do.
You went from level 100 to 104 in 4 days.
Tell me, how long did it take you to get from level 96 to 100? It's not 4 days.
Even if you got full xp from arena, sailing, labs, and whatever else, you cannot gain 1 level in 1 day at the normal experience requirements.
To put things in perspective, level 96 to 97 alone takes 12m xp. It takes players around 4-5 days to get that level up.
But if they clone some players and move them up then it will not affect the ones that you normally play on. They can then disable those when the testing for the patch is over. I know that this would be a little inconvenient, but if you are on the beta server you are there to test the changes so you should be willing to do it.
Mischief I think you missed the entire point with your thread. There's a reason its a Beta patch, since a Beta server is for testing only.
They might keep patching and re-patching until things are all sorted out enough for a Live rollout.
I suggest not to rush them so as to get as few bugs as possible when the patch goes live.
can we discuss this in only one tread please. See my answer in http://bbs.tynon.com/showthread.php?4211-Great-News
