The core testers have been officially introduced right after i posted this thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3475Lileldys wrote:Core Testers was something that was originally created at the start of the year but was never expanded/executed upon.Spoiler:
The original idea was to get good players/guilds onto a PTS environment and test the balance changes, and to stop terrible changes before they hit the live server.
I was the first one and then it took a while until others were asked to join. There was also no PTS at that time and some others and myself tested new abilities (even before the official introduction) by connecting to Azaraels own dev-server. At this time his development was mainly focused on creating all abilities, tactics, morals and generally combat mechanics.
So there was "core testing" way before 2016; it was more like the beginning of 2015 and earlier (since T1).
