anyone know where the player test server is? the test server plays a important purpose other than letting players test upcoming patchs. PTS let ppl test out their builds without worries about in game credit and etc... as a new toon is just a simple character copy away.
also, PTS usually have some sort of debug mode wich allow you to advance to any level/skill as required. thus a good tool to test your build and finding out if a "spell" is useful or not.

This is not eve. I would rather have mass testing, than a few people testing for their own reasons. Not like devs listen too much to player's opinions.

i need to point this out.
1: the other child of cryptic, namely champion online (CO). it is made by the same company, have the same graphic engine, maybe even the same core program codes, released only about 6 months apart. CO have a very active player test server (PTS) and indeed ppl do go there to test their spells and builds. not to mention CO have a unique way of testing spells, not seem before in any MMO i've played. therefore the chances are, the same idea (maybe even from the same person) may apply and a test server may already exist or will be soon coming.
2: the development team (DEV) does in fact pay close attention to the players, just after i left the game they did the STC and the teleport nerf, the result is a more balanced game. same as the previous nerf they made, ie COPD, MR, lash, minimine and etc... the same problem exist in CO as in STO, the spell description is far from clear what they means, so in effect you will need to test them yourself if you want to know the hardcore facts about a spell.
