Hey all, I want to get COB up on test sometime next week so people can start running through it again. So please make sure your characters are ready to be copied if they are not already. Also keep an eye out for any focus testing we may need help with. If you are willing, your help is always appreciated.
so, yet another test request. we havent heard a word since wigin posted for a raid test 3 weeks ago and only 2 of us showed up. There were some things we asked for to make it more viable (will gladly post them again even though they have been posted several times). Then Hobart asked for help testing a new client build. again, not a word regarding the issues we found (can repost those as well). the bottom line is we need people to want to test again, having devs on while we are there would be great but if they are unwilling to communicate while on, its a big disincentive. Having to wait on launcher fails and dead chunks is a disincentive. How about making an effort to make us not waste our time when we make the effort to log on to test? I have been bugging guildies and friends to jump on over for the sake of all who play, but it is a very tough sell at the moment. How about giving them a reason rather than just asking for test dummies? btw, i have logged onto test virtually evey day with one or more accounts and with characters at different levels, so at least i am trying.
What leav means to say, is great to see CoB going up on test and you can bet there will be a few of us there to test it out. Has much been done to CoB since it went offline?
Well most who dont read the forums much were un aware they needed to do a new /copy and that just happened in the last 2 days for most people. The other thing is most of us have day jobs so can only test in the evenings (PST here). Anything you want to do to improve the game I am willing to test it out as always. Just need days and times For "Leav" I agree it would be nice to hear, Hey thanks for the bug reports we were (aware/unaware) of these and fixes are in the works. Sure we would like to hear that but hey as long as they get fixed that is all that matters.

Sorry guys may not get it on test this week we are in the thick of things as we get closer to launch. Still trying to get a build out though.
That is a shame, but what is a few more days when we have been waiting 9 months. I just hope that Zaakirinis is in some kind of working condition this time and that Tharridon's mitigation has been nerfed to some type of normal level. Also would be nice if Hasim could be kept perma spawned at his pillar.
Couple intital things i noticed when first going back. The quest from the deranged beggar is unable to be accepted to gain access to CoB, says bags are full, flagged as trial account? Holes in the world that are visible (locations) 11309 / 14925 / -89076 -23256 / 21346 / -87477 New bindstone location When you die you still spawn at where the old bindstone used to be. The new bindstone and altar are not aligned with each other or in the same location really. Event - The North Binding Crystal It seems that completing the quest of slaying the nearby efreeti does not trigger any completion or summon any new mobs. This quest does not have a complete quest log entry. The crystal acts like you can click it, it says you are too far away when you step back but when near it does not allow you to click it, maybe I am not understanding something though. Missing mobs? Si Gabri, Adham, Ridas and Orin are all missing from their previous spots. Gone for good or just being worked on? Zaakirins There is two versions of Zaakirins spawned, one is level 60 flying majestically above its nest, the other on the ground is still level 100 as well as the wyrmkin nearby still being level 80. Seems the new stuff was just spawned on the old spot without removing the previous mobs. There was a couple other things I saw, like a lot of the damage was still reporting as fire damage and regular damage in the combat logs but I will look at more things later.
ditto and can i have my plat/gold back that was taken away on a previous test build. am running out of things to sell so i can rift.
If you guys ever see me on test you can ask me for some money, i got enough for plenty of people to rift around for a while.
Deranged Beggar will not let me take quest as it says inventory is full - which it is anot - and I have space in quest log.
Torveld, Thanks for checking that stuff out. Given all the moving around and tightening up of back end systems we've been doing, it looks like some things got a little messed up. Zaakirnis should be fixed soon. The North Crystal event was something I was personally prototyping to see how viable it would be with the tools we had. It wasn't supposed to go in. I'll yank that back out. The other stuff will be looked into as well.
Is there a way to get the quest from the deranged beggar - ot do I have to rely on falling through the world?
I get that free to play is coming soon and you guys are probably busy. But would it be possible to at least fix the CoB access quest on test sometime this week? A post was made over two weeks ago calling for people to go back and test, but since its implementation, the first quest doesn't work properly and no one can get into CoB. I am not saying fix tons of bugs, just this main quest so people can enter and start writing things down for you to fix after the f2p transition.
