Public Beta Testing - Feedback? by hpux March 28, 2015 at 11:03 PM UTC

Hello all!

As you may have known, the Sr. Staff team has been organizing a public beta testing for the update. It was originally planned for 7 PM EST, but there were many complaints regarding EU players being unable to attend. We've concluded that we'll have a small testing tonight, after we finish our staff meeting, and we'll hold a large one tomorrow (March 29th) at around 1-2 PM EST. The IP for the beta server, as well as the time will be posted shortly. The main reason I've informed you so late is to prevent an overload of players, upon request from Ivy. 

Looking forward:

After the end of the staff meeting, I will make another thread regarding exactly what we've discussed and concluded on during the meeting.

UPDATE:

Testing has ended for tonight. Feedback would be nice! Don't worry, there'll be a larger one tomorrow c:

What time would this be in Aus?

Strmr March 28, 2015 at 11:03 PM UTC

all aboard the hype train!

hpux March 28, 2015 at 11:03 PM UTC

What time would this be in Aus?
If you mean the one for tomorrow, it'll be about 3-4 AM, so I'd really suggest that you attend the one for tonight.

SavageAmericans March 28, 2015 at 11:03 PM UTC

What time will testing be tonight?

hpux March 28, 2015 at 11:03 PM UTC

UPDATE:

Testing will commence within 10-20 minutes!

IP:  testing.avicus.net

Unfortunately, it will be hosted in Minecraft 1.8, so remember to use Optifine unless you like FPS lag.

Vobaseball12 March 28, 2015 at 11:03 PM UTC

Thanks so much peachy!

TheColdCrafter March 29, 2015 at 12:03 AM UTC

is it on right now?

PokerFace March 29, 2015 at 12:03 AM UTC

Idk what you mean by "tomorrow" and "tonight" If you could give a specific time and date with a comparative timezone, that will help. Tomorrow for others could mean today fors others.

I mentioned in the OP that the times are in EST.

EDIT: Testing is open!

Tynvale March 29, 2015 at 12:03 AM UTC

How long will it go for?

PokerFace March 29, 2015 at 12:03 AM UTC

Well yes you did but, some people might think "tomorrow 1-2 pm EST as today.

MangoSmoothie_ March 29, 2015 at 12:03 AM UTC

The servers full...

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

The servers full...
It's probably because the server is 1.8

I was there! Avicus history was made! Also, I'm pretty sure I had the first death in SG so we both had firsts!

BoldAndBrash March 29, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

I think I was the first death? Well, the first one to be fisted to death....(cough, frozen, cough)

ProfessorUtonium March 29, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

keenanjt March 29, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

Testing is over, but we'll have more tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Thanks everyone!

I was looking through the spawn chests right after spawn and someone brutally murdered me with a sword when I had nothing, so let's just call it a tie!

hpux March 29, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

Testing has officially ended. Feedback would be much appreciated :)

Survival Games: You can see spectators

That and/or a command like /parkour1 start

dilpickel March 29, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

The hub pit is a bit annoying to get out of. Maybe a /spawn or hub command.

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

there is a /hub command, but there was only 1 hub during testing.

alexanderjoe March 29, 2015 at 2:03 AM UTC

Sometimes in TDM you can go invis and get a 30 killstreak while emmy tries to kill you.

PokerFace March 29, 2015 at 5:03 AM UTC

It was a bit laggy. Even the regular Avicus Hub was less laggy :/

JustBudah March 29, 2015 at 9:03 AM UTC

Can you please make the testing 3pm EST?

RightSide March 29, 2015 at 9:03 AM UTC

Did I miss the testing :(

Hacktivism March 29, 2015 at 9:03 AM UTC

You missed one of them.

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 1:03 PM UTC

How long will today's testing last for?

TheColdCrafter March 29, 2015 at 1:03 PM UTC

1.When's todays testing?
2. I loved it! 
3. Those maps were pretty cool.
4. I couldn't stand the pressure, so much staff there :3

SavageAmericans March 29, 2015 at 1:03 PM UTC

On sg please add a grace period of 15-20 seconds so everyone doesn't just die immediately.

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 1:03 PM UTC

grace periods are crap

they weren't even in the real Hunger Games

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 2:03 PM UTC

No they aren't, they make it more fun and allow time for people to have a chance to get loot and not get killed in 1 second.

Glitchaye March 29, 2015 at 2:03 PM UTC

need more hot credit drop parties

Hete March 29, 2015 at 2:03 PM UTC

No they aren't, they make it more fun and allow time for people to have a chance to get loot and not get killed in 1 second.
A 10~20 second grace period will only allow players to get barely one extra chest, and slow down the game. There really is no need for it, you just gotta play strategic at the start of the game.

BoldAndBrash March 29, 2015 at 2:03 PM UTC

I just think grace periods are bad .-. Just don't go to middle if you think you're gonna die xd Also, back in McZone, there was no grace period.

IcyCode March 29, 2015 at 4:03 PM UTC

So is the other testing event today happening?!? As me & many Europeans were unable to attend yesterdays....

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 5:03 PM UTC

So is the other testing event today happening?!? As me & many Europeans were unable to attend yesterdays....
Yes, yesterday there was a small one, and this one was meant to include Europeans.

@heatless I personally prefer a grace period, but we all have our own opinion. Also, I would make it like 90 seconds, not 10 or 20.

hpux March 29, 2015 at 5:03 PM UTC

Beta testing will start at 2 PM EST (30 minutes), today, March 29th. IP will remain the same:

Dyspa March 30, 2015 at 2:03 AM UTC

I missed both events, I still don't care.

IcyCode March 30, 2015 at 7:03 PM UTC

The Beta testing was amazing! I really enjoyed it & whatsmore there were very few bugs I could see on the surface. Nice job Kylo!
