Can someone please tell what this CORE testers stuff is about?

So some players can be set to test the new patcher maybe?
With eh, new content.

Where can you sign up?!

May be related to the new launcher...

New launcher means control client ?

Correct, but since its not enforced at this point with the new client no big changes can be made yet, but we are starting to move towards closed testing of the launcher to find and root any bugs (its been in internal testing for a little while).

I will be fixing them when I will finish dwarf PQ line. If wargrimnir won't do it before me...

I'll have to update the maps, and we need to figure out how to get the dual PQ's working as well. I have some ideas to test for them.

Work harder dammit!!!

Thank you guys, that will be amanzing

This what happens when not enough people are banned.

Maybe you should set some ban quotas?


edit: Thank you for your work Devs. That is some substantial Christmas patch

I am a bit sad about event drop rate nerf though. I will have to waste more time brandead killing mobs to complete quest on alts :/

- Added a backdoor entrance and escape in Ogrund's Tavern, High Pass T3 RvR BO.

WHY?

Some of the best T3 fights happen in Bugmans Brewery (BFP) and at Talabec Verentanes and Ogrunds, simply because they are deathtraps where you either funnel defence successfully and stand your ground, or you stand your ground unto death knowing there is no escape. It's what makes them some of the more interesting BO capture fights in the game.

IMO more places, especially in T4 should have similar "deathtrap" features where escape becomes impossibility, forcing the participants into a lethal struggle,

Core Testers was something that was originally created at the start of the year but was never expanded/executed upon.

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.

Ah, but you were on vacation, or holiday, or whatever that Uni thing is you were talking about. Sit around, reading books, expenses paid for, young intelligent ladies all over the place...
