Serverwide Event - 02/08/15 final 180 input before launch!

Post by bananaface » Mon Feb 02, 2015 3:28 am

Sunday, February 8th sometime after 1pm EST (7pm CET) we will be hosting an event on the development server.
We'd like everyone who is available and willing to come play with us so we can listen to your feedback and make final adjustments accordingly.
Yes, this means 180 is as good as done but your feedback is crucial for the final finishing touches.

Also at this date the 179 server will be brought down for maintenance in preparation for the launch of 180.
Maintenance will last for a few days, and then the 179 server will go back up and will see it's last few days or weeks of life.

The plan is to launch 180 one or two weeks afterwards when the final adjustments have been tested and approved. Your levels will be ported over as they were when we officially bring down the 179 server. You will just need to redistribute your points again. Then we hope by the summer we can start pumping out regular updates.


Edit:
It is recommended you clear you cache before going on the 180 server to prevent any clientside errors or other issues.

can you do me a favor and get a bunch of people on there all using the bio of power with 2 inf and 2 spreads. Wondering if it will still bog the server down like it usually does.

Being Sunday I should be able to be around, and I agree with Goth on the bio not so much the link but it tends to kill power ups showing up and slowing :uberhappy: the server down.

Spread can't be stacked, I checked the file last night.
Unless something censored is going on but I haven't seen it happen yet.

And cool that you're on at sunday, wanna get as many people on as possible especially those that play pretty often, though everyone is welcome ofcourse.

if you shut down 179 temporary for that event, is it possible
to change the IP from 179 to the 180 server so everyone who has it in
the favorite list will be forced to join on 180, instead of
"why is the server again offline" and dont come to test?

asking because i bet 80% still dont read forum...

I've been making some announcements on the 179 daily so they know it is gonna happen.
And if they don't show up or don't try it out any other timethis week then they miss an opportunity to give their feedback and can't really complain if it is not to their liking when it is launched.

And to clarify on giving feedback at this stage and I will bring this up on sunday aswell.
We will take every bit of feedback into consideration and discuss everything.
However, not every bit of feedback we can act upon due to certain limitations at this point or it being to big of a change or it breaking/imbalancing other things or we simply do not agree with it at all.
You do not have to worry about coming up with solutions or ideas or anything, that is our job. We just want to know what you guys/girls/genderless beings (Grumple, judging by his real life picture?) think of everything.

So yeah, if you want a say in how 180 will be or just want to bash everything that has been done like Grumple (just kidding I even listened to your feedback) then this is your last chance.

I currently have a player very near level 50, level 150, and level 250. I have never tried the dev server, and I did not know of its existence until recently, but I would love to try it out on each of my characters to be able to give some feedback on how it plays for a low, mid, and high level players. How do I join it and when should I? I saw 7 pm central, might be gone until 9 pm central but I'll also be here earlier in the day.

Mas was on the Dev server and has some feedback but does not have an account on the forums. Weetodd gave him the site info but I thought I would let you know anyways.
