FYI - ATS Temporarily Closed

[lawrence]

As previously announced on the official website, we'll be closing the test server temporarily for a period of 2 weeks, in order to be able to test the outposts internally. Feel free to use this thread to post any questions or feedback you may have regarding this topic.


Today, we will lock the access to the Advanced Test Server for two weeks : we will use the ATS server to run real-scale internal tests on the outposts. We are not yet including ATS volonteers to the outpost test program, since this is still an early and unstable alpha version of chapter III - we still have some work to perform before we can efficiently use your reports.

Also, once the two weeks are over, we will deactivate the outposts before reopening the ATS - to let us have the time to code the fixes once the series of tests are completed. However, we are starting to review the ATS applications : when we will enter the next phase of our test program, we will need a lot of ATS testers ! 8-)

Will there be a way to update our ATS applications?

[vinnyq]

I would like to update mine also. I think I put in some dumb reason in the past :P

[kostika]

Submit again? Just make sure you say you had submitted in the past but want to update your reasons?

[vinnyq]

won't let ya.

[geezas]

Yep can't re-aply.

I'd like to update my application aswell, the levels I put in there are about 25% of what I can do and know now.

[kostika]

Awww, okay. Well was worth a try. :D

everyday its delayed is another day we have to wait till it finnaly goes live -.- pull your finger out please nevrax and get th ATS open so they can be tested with more than a handfull of people >.<

Maybe copy our chars from "normal" server to ATS this time? It's great to be lvl 151 without armor or weapons, without spawns, spending 1,5h on training all skills and sorting action bars.

[morzyr]

Yes and a proper test program, insted of the old "this is done list and play around yourself to find bugs"

Or.... maybe just a word from ye gods to say "oh dear did we really overrun a deadline by 4 days and not say a word? ats is now open and you can play :o"

*snaps out of dreamland*

[morzyr]

the ticket bulk and melee bugs were not part of the ats patches up to that area, they were specifically put in in-house testing, mainly because ATS was used for E3 etc
ATS news btw hopefully inc sometime soon

lol the laptop that is "ATS" was last seen under the wing of a javing heading east over planet nevrax :X


any news from jessica even on whats happend since the end of the 2 weeks closed ATS we all saw the E3 vids so we can tell they are usable as you cant demonstrate something that doesnt work to people in a big show like that without ruining your company.

they looked from the vids to be ready for player testing and stress testing so why arent we alrdy doing it and getting them to the server? it will hopefully bring people back to the game when they are added so its nevrax who will gain most by getting them released not us -.-
