Just a quick note about the dev server

Post by BaronVonRotterdam » Tue Dec 30, 2008 2:16 pm

We just threw all the files up there with a random rpg setting. It will not be as easy as it is to make rank. Everything you see is only for testing purposes. We plan to make it take 6 months or so worth of playing to make lieutenant. For example, my BF2 account is a 2nd Lieutenant and it took me 467:42:17 to get where I am (I am 91.22% to 1st Lieutenant :D). So it took roughly 467 hours. I make about 100 points a game and the days I played I probably played for 2-5 hours. We plan to make RPG just like that. It would be no fun if you made General in 3 weeks of non stop playing. Just keep this in mind when you are playing that mostly everything you see will be subject to change.

The server is unplayable

Right now the only way you can play on the server is in god mode & on maps with an ssr. None of the weapons are effective against the monsters except for a wand ,ssr or redeemer. Partical ,Howie,Essr,mini ssr,flack w/razor/blast ,Rocket w/fireball/flare/cluster ,Mp5, The new machine gun ,combat shotty none will kill any of the monsters. And even with Wand or ssr you have to be in god mode or hidden otherwise monsters slaughter you. I'm sure these are all things that are being worked on. Want to play and try all the things on the server so let me know when its playable

I will consistently sacrifice political correctness for an attempt at humor. If ya can't deal, then ya need ta stop being ign'ant.

Well to be honest this test server was only supposed to be open for admins so we could be in god mode, slow down game speed, spawn stuff, etc etc ;)

Since the patch is so close to being done, we decided to just have one test session instead of having one for admins, and then a closed beta for those that signed up oh so long ago :D
