Acceptance and Test realm first hand info thread

Goofy · 03-11-2005, 05:15 AM

I just got accepted. Would be nice to group with some of the more experienced players. My char name is Sup. Anyone else got on?

Good thread to list down of the changes that didn't make the patch notes as well as give first hand detail about them too.

Khalikryst · 03-11-2005, 06:20 AM

You just now got in? Isn't the test realm scheduled to be shut down today?

FuckYou · 03-11-2005, 06:34 AM

the way i read it i thought it was supposed to open up today.

i did not get an email.

So I installed the patch and logged in. Of course my UI was screwed even when I updated the correct ToC files, so I had to disable everything. But now it seems they can't keep the PvE or PvP server up for more than 2 minutes (literally) and then everyone instantly disconnects. Of course you can log right back in without having to wait for a character boot since the server itself crashed, but what's the point? You get about 2 minutes of running around, followed by 10 seconds of nothing happening, then the login screen with a "Disconnected From Server" message. This is happening to everyone constantly who I've talked to in IF and other friends who logged in.

Also, according to the WoW.com official Test Realm forum, a large number of people got invited to the Test Server but their characters didn't get copied over. Now don't get me wrong, I am enjoying WoW and my experience with it so far. Sure, there are alot of fixes that need to be taken care of, and it sounds like they are on the right track. But seriously, can they not get one thing accomplished without it either being bugged to hell, lagged to the point of unplayable, or simply not working? This is starting to turn into a joke. And to answer your question Khalikryst, the first batch of emails for test server invites went out this morning, the exact same day this round of patch testing was suppose to be coming to a close. I have no idea what this means for the patch ETA or the QA team. The only thing I do know is I can't even put a group together for Dire Maul because the server isn't stable enough to do a /who and send a tell in the same session. This is truly amateur hour at its finest.

Wow, thatnk fucking god they implemented some test servages. Imagine the outcry if they patched this shit to live.

But honestly every single patch I downloaded from blizzard had some fucking problems that came along with it.

But anyways thats what the test servers are for, to make sure this shit dont happen to live.

Braen · 03-11-2005, 07:05 AM

I think they are going to announce a test server for their test server next week. Only invite 1% of the level 60's for L337 test server infos.

And I agree, can Blizzard do anything without it fucked to high holy hell?

How about http://testserverdowntime.org

FuckYou · 03-11-2005, 07:09 AM

i actually clicked that link heh

Goofy · 03-11-2005, 07:14 AM

I just logged on to the test server.

Cha Ching, no chars.

NFI what is going on. Is it that they can't even get character copying right?

About 10 people from my guild got into the test servers. All same problem.

Khalikryst · 03-11-2005, 07:58 AM

Well the official word from the test server FAQ is:

Quote:

How often will the test realm be available?
The test realm is scheduled to be live until Friday, March 11 for this round of testing. We'll announce the next round of testing as we get closer to the next patch.

But then we all know that Blizzard has no concept of this 4th dimension we recognize as the passage of time so who the fuck knows.

Kaige · 03-11-2005, 08:03 AM

Interesting...

My server goes down for 24-hour maintenance, and I receive a test server invite shortly after.

88.21MB patch.

weeeee

Tripamang · 03-11-2005, 08:04 AM

So Blackrock goes down for 24 hour maintence and I get an email saying "h@y come play on the test realm" so I login to the test realm.. and theres no fucking characters.

GG =(

That is my first hand experience of the test realm.

beepbeepbeep · 03-11-2005, 08:08 AM

Raid debuff slot limit increased?

Tongue · 03-11-2005, 08:23 AM

Oh jesus stop fuckin crying Smoke.

Anyways, if the server could stay up for more than 5 mins at a time I'm sure I could scope out some shit but the ride to Feathermoon is going to take weeks at this point in time.
