Welcome to Test Server! To get your character copied from Telon to Test, just type /copycharacter in game for each character you want copied. WARNING!!! WARNING!!! NETWORK CHANGES AHEAD!!! This is a significant rework of the network and surrounding game layers. This was a major change. I can't stress this enough, this was a MAJOR change! Initially, we want players just to log into Test and do normal individual and group testing. Next week, we'll start scheduling some raid testing. We are looking for anything that is different from Live that is a negative change. You can report issues in this thread and through /bug.
Okay, First the Character select screen is not showing the Pillars area and the select menu is only showing Create a new character. Then before you can go any further you crash back to desktop. Tried 2 different computers with the same result at the same time.
Now I am getting to the Character select, but still waiting for Response from World Servers. Also noted the my characters on one account are 11/699 and 14/2227 on the other account. Also getting the xxx's after the repeated copied names. Was hoping for a complete wipe and complete server copy from Telon. Also, any idea how custom UI's will effect the new code changes? I noticed: [Engine.GameEngine] CacheSizeMegs=32 Any plans on changing this to: [Engine.GameEngine] CacheSizeMegs=256
Only information I can give you currently is the same as Mictruth except my characters are currently 0/1244. Will post more once Test is up.
test server appears down to me at 3:20 pm , character select not showing my /copy characters from yesterday unless the dreaded rename struck. will keep checking back.
Sorry, had to take the server down. As I expected, we ran into issues once we deployed to a Live environment. Working on the issue now and hope it is an easy fix. I'll post again when the server is up.
Once test comes back up if you are looking for something to do you can head to Old Targ. A very preliminary version of the update is there yet. There are still no quests and itemization hasn't changed but almost all of the named now have some boss mechanics and the trash got some additional abilities as well. Just head to the dungeon section of Old Targ to see the new stuff.
Social server probably died as chat does not seem to work I find first ping values I am getting quite interesting. On live I get about 320-370, on test with network changes it is 250-380 (average ping is lower than on live).
Just some quick information before I head to bed. Playing from Southern California. 1. Flying mounts will spawn but flight is not possible. Tried with PotA Order mount and rentables. 2. Tells were working initially when logging in. Was not ignoring your question Hobart but Tells stopped working after I rifted. Logged off and logged in, Tells still not working. Logged in a second toon, tells not working. recalled to same location, Tells not working. Grouped, tells not working, group chat not working, shout not working, region chat not working. Created raid, raid chat not working. Raid Alerts DO work. Say works. 3. Ping rates were pretty nice and stable when running around different locations. Anywhere between 50 and 190. (Live in same location 106-228 over same time period.) New Targ, Khal, Dragon's Maw (Where Cummings logged in), and Daegarmo Isle (Where Danee logged in). Will look at the Old Targ and just try to get in some general grouping anywhere over the next few days.
I also got kicked back to char select several times when running from Plains of Anquish to Old Targonor. None of them while chunking.
Not having any ping issues, ping seems in the normal ranges for Spain (260-340), I’m not able to fly using a flying mount and social server seems to be down. I can’t do things like a /who and things like that. I had a CTD just after logging for the first time and i sent a PM to Hobart with the log. Other than that it seems to be working nicely but i have just crossed a couple of chunk lines so far, no real combat yet. I don’t have much time as it's almost time to go to work but I’ll try to kill a few mobs in Magi Hold to see how the game behaves
