Send me the password...I could not send you a private IM to bitch and ask for it.
Oh Grumple.
That age and still doesn't know what testing is.
Guess you need the same explanation as a 6 year old.
To test things you need try different things.
That means, you need to make things hard and need to make things easy.
However, if you're left being able to test only half of it, you can't really finish.
And just for you a quote from the dictionary on what testing is, "the means by which the presence, quality, or genuineness of anything is determined; a means of trial".
Also, when I got on the server, it was pretty much only Amy playing and pretty much nobody else.

Password is given to only a select few people due to there being a lot of players coming on the test server not to test but to just play it.
Just playing it is fine aswell but not at this stage when things are still not finished and why you are propably confused by many things including the difficulty.
So the plan is to fix the things we wanna fix including balancing and then open it to everyone and then everyone can give feedback about it so we can make some final tweaks if people generally don't like things.
I really did not "want" to bitch about anything in this forum. I guess I actually trust YOU and a few others to come back and change/retweak things if they don't work out, so I will be calm with and keep that in mind.

Me and Joey both have real life issues so that is why the server has been in it's current state for so long.
But I'm sorta back now and Paint can acces the server now so small changes for testing purposes etc can be put up a lot more frequently then they could be before.

So when things are somewhat finished and are gonna be open for testing for everyone then you can tell me all about what you think of whatever you wanna discuss, I even encourage it and that counts for everyone.
But till that time all there is is testing and temporary changes to try different things so I can experience and compare different things so it's a waste of breath to even discuss it because nothing of it is permanent.

To give an example, on 179 the monsters are on the Godlike difficulty wich is 7 and the highest.
When I started testing different things at 180 it was all the way down to 3 or so.
Since then we tried everything between 3 and 7 to get an idea of how the monsters react to the changes, with it currently being at 6.
Now that we tested a couple of different settings in that particulair part I have an idea of where it sorta has to be at.
But its just one factor of many wich influence the difficulty so even if I have a general idea for that particulair part it can still change depending on how big of an impact the other things will have.

So yeah the thing I wanna repeat again is, it's a test server where things change with every new build we put up and where nothing is permanent so do not assume anything and do not get attached to anything.

My goal is to make the server fun and balanced for everyone from new players or low level players to the old school veterans with high levels and that everyone has "equill" chances to survive and thrive.
I'm well aware that I won't be able to pleasse everyone on every single details but I'll still try to get as close to perfect as possible.

that was after i stopped playing and made that 1 mile long "i´m lvl 200 now, so what?"-topic...

bananaface wrote:..when I got on the server, it was pretty much only Amy playing and pretty much nobody else.
that was a looong time ago before i reached lvl 200...

anyways, not sure if godsilly really "tested", tested his skills, or just getting addicted to it or beeing tired of the 179 server...
this answer only he can give...
