    Hi, as the title said im quite new on test server to check out the game for updates and so on but i see alot of others having lvl 45 toons and i asked so they replied saying that there was a period in time where DSO gave out lvl 45 chars for test server. Will that chance come again ?
     
  2. Lvl 45 characters have been given to players with TS a/cs twice now. Once for testing 6v6 and again just recently. We can't say for sure, but I would not be surprised to see this happen again. A large proportion of the DSO community is keen to help test new material before it hits the live servers.

    Also, the announcement said that those free characters will be taken away at the conclusion of the R155 test unlike the PvP test characters which were free to keep.

    I personally have to say those lvl 45 characters we got were/are useless for testing. Live server by the time we hit 45 we're decently gemmed up, we have gear that works for us both offense and defense and the game is pretty meh. Now the TS toons I had, 1 of each lvl 45, ( i have 3 TS accounts btw so I managed to get all 4 classes), we horrible, even with the free gear bonanza the all got. None of my TS toons could even make it from the start of Gleaming Mountains to the door, oh and then you had to do the parts quest so even getting through the door to Andrakasch was a huge waste of time. SO with no gold, no ander, no ess, gear I would have immediately melted on live server, the giveaway tons were wasted on me. But today they were all in Andrakasch, yayyy?, and I couldn't last in the first area of the Lor Tac map so testing was a wash.
    Here's an idea. The devs and CM's get toons that have great gear, I'm sure decent gems and whatever other items, ess etc they want to make their testing EASY. Don't give us free toons that are really useless in testing. Even giving everyone maybe 4 stacks of purple or red ess would have helped with bare bones gear and weapons. At least then we could kill something. I deleted all the test toons I got, there was no reason to keep them, but then I don't play the TS like some people do as there's barely enough time in the day to play my live server toons anymore.
    Thanks for the freebies but they were seriously useless. I'm waiting for the live launch disaster to happen for 155, then we can actually play it and give feedback from our working toons.

    That is why I developed my own cap level character.
    I remember I was fighting Destructor for 55 minutes ... alone ... just to solve the quests and come to the cap level.
    Why whining ... you could have done the same.

    Moreover ... it is not a temporary character that will be taken away after.

    PS - I am almost level 46 now :D

    Not whining about it, just stating the reality of free toon giveaways. Kudos you play the TS so much, I have no interest in playing another server full time personally. The TS is not a patch testing/repairing entity like it should be, just look at 154 and all the live launch bugs after it was on TS. It's a free sneak peek at coming attractions is all. Even the dev team can't thoroughly test on it because they realistically do not have the time to play it like you do for example.

    Believe me ... all the active players on TS including me are reporting all the bugs on time ... way before that release comes to live servers. But they are releasing it without fixing it anyway.
    It must be they have extra salary income for every patch they have made. :D

    I have a lot of respect for you Trak... for all you do here, as well as on the Wiki, so please dont take offense. That said...
    Not everyone can dedicate the time it takes to lvl up and create an "end game quality" toon on TS.
    Most of the people I play with on live server have jobs, families, lives etc, etc, that limit play time.
    This goes for me as well... I prefer to spend the majority of MY play time playing with my friends on Tegan. I play my TS toons some what regularly and have managed to lvl up my dk to lvl 42... but this has taken several years to do.
    I happen to agree with Multi on the point if they are going to GIVE us testing toons, then they should be capable of completing those tests.... right out of the box.
    50k anders and 25 unopened legs does not make an "end game worthy" lvl 45... not even close... And I, personally am not going to dedicate the time it would take to turn this toon into an end game toon... only to have it stripped away.
    I will give them some credit for thinking about us on some lvl... but it seems to me it was only a half thought... at best.

    IMHO, for this to have come even close to working properly.... for lvl 45 toons .....
    50 legs, 50 XO, 50 cubes, 50 lrg gem bags, lvl 30 knowledge,10k draken, 5 passes to gnob. 1500 gold, 2 full pages of locker space along with the 4 pages of inv we did get, all map areas open, and possibly.. the 50k anders and free premium during testing.

    Kudos to all who made the time and effort to raise their TS toons, or the "stable" toons to "end game quality"

    Thanks, Doc.

    With this release not only is DSO adding new maps/monsters, they will be completely altering our current characters and game play.

    While it was a nice gesture on their part to provide lvl45 characters to test with, the experience will not provide us with the necessary understanding of how it will effect us once this release goes live.

    A better solution would have been to allow us to upload a copy of our current character so we could fully test how these changes will effect us on the live servers.
     
  10. To those complaining that the TS Lvl 45 character that they were given is too weak to explore Lor'Tac, please re-read THIS THREAD

    Your absolutely right Al. Thank you for the clarification. Soon as we get the English translations on the skills/descriptions, I will be happy to give them a run through...

    Thanks, Doc.

    Take a look in the thread about the new skills. Some people have done the translations already. I personally did the DK skills and even provided my initial thoughts on them.
