    To all mods......In my views we need to hold special test server events where andermant can be won, these events could be on when a new patch needs tested, we need more people on so that things like this recent 6v6 bug can be seen before it goes on live servers, with the current amount coming on daily you can barely get into a 1v1 pvp match let alone fight mortis or do 6v6 pvp matches, this will stop events having to be postponed by such a terrible game wrecking bugs as what has been coming out, many of my friends have left due to bugs after each patch, more incentive to go onto the test server. More free stuff/andermant events on test server more players will fly on cause we all know people like free stuff........


    also you could try bonuses in live servers for spending time on the test server........


    even if you do not take these ideas in you MUST LISTEN TO THIS : MORE ON TEST SERVER WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE OF BUGS BEING FOUND

    The problem with the test server is, the server is in a pre-beta state. If you want to do something there, you MUST do it as f2p (a nightmare). This state have 3 possible fixes:
    - Give premium to all testers (or at least after some logs and time)
    - Add a npc after the tutorial where you can chose your level, gear and talents or
    - Lets the players bind the live accounts with the test server ones and open an option to transfer/copy your characters like you have on live servers.

    P.D And sorry for my english

    Hi dragonlordz,

    I don't know for how long you have played this game or how many post/threads you have read so far, but i can tell you this....never gonna happen!!!

    Free stuff ingame...the only free stuff anyone will ever get is the game it self and nothing more.

    And i clearly remember, many members in this forum + the old forum, have reported over the years many bugs in the TS and guess what...they released it anyway.

    They simply don't care, with or without bugs...they must release the update.
    If you want to know why...well then, you gonna have to ask them...because till today no of us ever got an answer for that question!!!

    HI Bearer-of-Death,

    I have over 1000 posts in the old forum and have played for a long time ;) I know it is highly unlikely that the mods will even look at this post other than to show its grammatical errors however it is always worth a shot.

    For far too long we have sat with bugs upon bugs and the only way for the drakensang team to see just what will happen is to have many many people testing, the only way to get more people to test is to give the players a good incentive to go out and test. Myself I test all updates including the last event with my lvl 26 war, the bugs past right by myself and the others testing because it is not realistic enough to the real live servers due to lack of players.......Would be nice to hear a mods view on this ;) poke mods to comment.....poke........poke poke poke :p

    Well heres my 2 cents worth. In the past we on test server have been told that once a patch reaches test server it is already in rotation to go live. So unless "they" discover some major bug (Major by their definition), that patch is going live. And, It wouldnt matter if a player found a bug in the pre-release patch, they will still release the patch and do a hot fix later if its bad enough. I know this to be gospel because I found the position bug on test server and posted about it days before that patch went live. The post was seen by many.... but the patch went live with 2 major bugs. BP fixed the one that had the potential to steal revenue from them and left the one that had the potential to generate revenue for them. Not only did they leave it there.... but they left it there for several months.

    Now that you have read this to here, ... let me ask you.... does this sound like a company that is about to consider giving anything away?? or consider your ideas?? or care about the customer base in general? let alone those on test server??

    If they give a lot of stuff away on TS ... why would anyone want to play live servers??

    To make TS a useful tool, they could give premium to everyone on TS... at random intervals. and for limited amounts of times. Say 1 day a month, for 6 hours... the next time can be for 30 hours or 16 or 2. could happen twice in 1 month even. If you log on every day... there is a chance you will catch it and get to use it. If not... better luck next time.
    There are many things they "could" do.... but we all know..... they never will.

    This is the game. (the one you play, as well as the one BP plays with us)
    You either play it, or you leave.
    Simple as that.

    Thanks, Doc.

    Why mods? It is like ... you are having vision for educational system change/improvement ... and you are presenting your idea to school janitor. :D

    Not to be misunderstood ... I am just giving janitor example as a low rank on a ranking scale.
