We need your help on TC: Nova - 01/17/2012

Hello everyone,

Many of you have probably noticed that developers are writing code like crazy and are putting in tons of stuff on TC: Nova to be tested. Which means QA and CTT has lots to do in a short time frame. Unfortunately there is too much code to be tested and they are seriously understaffed. Which means they cant keep up with the developers. This is where you come in...

Once again we need our community to help us test all the new stuff developers have been adding over the last few weeks. We know some of the key features a still missing, and frequent wipes don't help the experience one bit, but that is all part of the development process and something we will have to learn to live with until EoL Milestone (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/swgemu/wiki/End_of_Liberator_Milestone) is reached.

Please log on TC: Nova as often as you can, use Blue Frogs (they can be found in front of Star Ports in every major city) they will help you build your characters more quickly.

Currentlymain focus is on:


PVP combat
PvE combat
MOB and NPC armor and skill level
Vendors
Scout
All missions (except faction destroy missions)
Loot (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30427&page=4#54) (Fort Tusken on Tatooine, Geonosian Bio-Lab on Yavin IV and Nightsister Stronghold on Dathomir)


PLEASE NOTE: Detailed list of everything that needs testing can be found here (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/swgemu/wiki/End_of_Liberator_Milestone).

If these things are not in your area of expertise or you just want to check out all the new stuff that was added feel free to do so. Test anything and everything. Those who never submitted a bug report should check this guide first: How to report bugs on Bug Tracker (Mantis). (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22463) A well written bug report will make QA's job much easier.

Just a reminder folks, both Dev and QA/CTT teams are currently recruiting, so if you have some free time and the necessary know-how please check these threads and send your applications:



Development Team is Recruiting (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15295)
Quality Assurance Team is Recruiting (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=482)


If you have any questions, you need to know in what particular area QA needs help the most, etc please send a tell to Wuzze in game.


Dev's are doing their part and writing the code, its time for us to do our part.

What's wrong with farting in church? It's cold as hell in there... /looks around

I don't go to church so I am free of church farting embarrassment.

I am, however, a speaker of truth.

OK folks, Exceptional and Legendary looot is now on TC: Nova and it needs to be tested.


I've added exceptional and legendary loot chances to Nova. They are set at exceptional 1 in 100 and legendary 1 in 1000 just for testing purposes. I also improved the stat generation on looted items a bit.

Please test these loot drops! Nightsisters can be found at the Nightsister stronghold, and Tusken's can be found on Tatooine. Also, the Geonosis Lab is somewhat populated as well!

Server goes down because we are applying fixes and new stuff. That's why it's a Test Center.

Do you need info on which spawners still have 'default texture' boxes?

Also if some are spawning the wrong creature or is this all in the works?

Vlada,
I dropped a City Hall and had characters create residences around it declaring. The City Hall Terminal does not register anything other than when the next city update is going to be (no listings or status or anything). On live server, we had to submit a request to have a player city "instantiated". Is this also the case with Nova? If so, who do I ask to have a City Hall submitted as a Player City?

I've set it on Tattoine (Nova) at roughly 2200 -4400
Want to name it Twin Suns

All TC: Nova bugs should be reported to Mantis (Bug Tracker) www.swgemu.com/bugs (http://www.swgemu.com/bugs). Use search to find out if same or similar bug is already reported, if you manage to find an existing bug report add your notes, if you can find an existing bug report submit a new one.

For more details on how to submit a bug report please read this: How to report bugs on Bug Tracker (Mantis) http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22463


Note: if you are sure that something isnt working as it should (did back in Pre-CU) please submit a bug report. Please include any and all screenshots, videos or anything else from the Pre-CU era that can buck up that bug report.

I had a go on the server last night for a few hours and except the odd mob jumping about (rubber banding) it was really stable. Good work guys!
