day 82 no signs of life

cmon devs we all get Microsoft is having to approve everything so its one delay after another for the xbox test shard so this point you might as well shut down the test shard until you can get a big update because there is no point to have it with 0 people trying to use it for well anything if not then give us the wondrous bonus tabs pre mod 25 or even the guild resource vendor that pc preview has please or at least tell us something of what's taking so long for any update for the Xbox test shard not saying you gotta have a date but communication would go a long way since we know 95% of the team is on the new trial

    I agree, I haven't even messed with mine as there is no reason to use the test shard and try level up my main characters on the regular game as they have the same things right now

    Greetings,

    We apologize and the team is doing its best to implement as soon as possible the M25 on the Xbox test shard.

    This topic was also discussed during the last Q&A stream (we will soon publish the full recap):


    Brett (Executive Producer): I don’t have big updates for it. We wanted to get the Xbox beta shard out and get a chance to prove that it could work. We have never done anything like that and it’s been a new sort of technical endeavor for us. We haven’t been able to keep it as up to date as the PC preview. It’s easier for us to push builds on a pretty frequent and informal basis to the PC Preview shard because it’s owned within our system, so we have a lot of easy leeway for updating that whereas the preview shards for Xbox and PlayStation are trickier to deal with. We are working on ways to expand that on Xbox and PlayStation, to make it easier and try to get more frequent updates in, so we can better use it similar to how we use the PC Preview. I apologize because it’s not perfect yet but we are trying to make some significant strides into giving console players a better access to early content. Certain components may not survive however, like we can’t necessarily do the character copies that we have for the PC shard. There are unfortunately some limitations, sometimes beyond our control, with Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

    Julia (Community Manager): I am preparing a list for a second wave of adding people to the Xbox beta shard. I am also waiting to hear when we can get M25 on the Xbox Beta because we had to do some other updates first. As soon as I get more information about that, I will grant access to these people. It has to be done manually, so it’s not an easy process, it’s kind of tedious and manual, and it will require some time to do so. Regarding the PlayStation test shard, we are hopefully getting close to having that one too. It’s a process and I am very thankful that people are patient. I am glad that we are at least moving in the right direction in terms of getting the community something they have been asking for a long time.

    Thanks again for your understanding!

    Regards,
    Percemer

    Mean no offense when I say this @percemer but can stop kidding us that you guys are going to get us mod 25 on the test shard for Xbox, we know Microsoft is delaying the HAMSTER outta you guys and well lets be real you guys wouldn't of set a launch date for the mod to go live if you guys could squeeze this out if you guys are trying to get us the stuff then well say that it will be ready by such and such date stop telling us this #soon nonsense you lost the majority of the people from the launch of the test shard for Xbox you need to give us something if you want us to believe you guys are trying to sort out the shard otherwise there is no point continuing it until you can give us something to do I mean if your testing stability I can for one say for sure it works fine at least in the general gameplay aspect since with 0 people wanting to play cant test ques or anything else i mean we know this is a super new challenge for you guys, but like seriously at this point even if we don't get mod 25 to test the wondrous bazaar extra tabs or a vendor that sells resources for guild building should be in there most of the people are begging for something to be added doesn't really matter what just something to do since unlike the PC shard we get you cant just add it then its there you have to get every single 1 and 0 approved but seriously is almost 3 months since the Xbox test shard went live and you guys have only been able to get a in game voice chat (which not one person will ever use) done and a update to the appt vendor like seriously if you want us to be patient pretty sure 3 months with zero changes we have been patient give us something stop worrying about a second wave of names to add to this shard because if you dont get something added your just wasting your time on that since you will have more people feeling the same way as the first wave you have on the test shard

    So question with the new mod was the goal of getting m25 on the xbox test shard so we get a feel for it since the release is so soon i mean this in the sense since we cant test anything new really outside maybe the heroic encounters seeing how all the new stuff is locked behind the campaign?

    For PC test server, it has been used for various reasons by design or not by design.
    1. check out what the new mod will be.
    2. learn what to avoid and what to do before the release.
    3. test certain self invented theory to see if that works.
    4. plan ahead before the release
    5. act ahead before the release (some can be burnt by this though).
    6. Do whatever you want to figure out whatever you want.
    7. ...
    99. Along the above, complain and/or report bugs.

    thats the thing there friend we have the mod and can test some stuff but thats all we can do on xbox test since unlike PC we dont have stuff like the wondorus bazaar extra tabs or anything like that so we cant test the new combat enchants for an example so as a general question for what i asked before your reply

    What they want you to test is to play the campaign (from scratch) and provide the feedback. Of course, as a player, we always have our own agenda.

    i get what your saying and its obvious its from scratch thats been already known before now my guy but the point i was saying is the only point to add it now is what to test the quests so we know what to do i mean no one on xbox can take the drider captains, i mean take at minimum full groups ie minimum 5 people, the HEs even the small ones are overtuned for stats we have available since we don't have even close to the stats we have on our live toons, i mean and not as if we cant test the new combat enchants because they are locked behind the third milestone and with it going live in what 10 days get lucky to get the trial open before gotta just redo everything on live i mean at this point they need to push out the tabs that PC has for the wondorus bazaar or something to make this not feel like a sheer copy and paste of the live server with premades that are now almost antique i mean the premades they gave us were at one point PC made toons or at least a few were when it says to interact to hit RMB which is right mouse button for those that dont already know
