The bugs found so far have not been damaging though have they.. If the server is planned for a Feb release then an open beta followed by a wipe at this point would be a good idea yes?

It's only going to get slower now the Christmas holidays are done and dusted, should of just chosen 40-60 over the Xmas period due to off work/spare time etc and I reckon a lot more would of been done.

people still moaning about not being picked, if he had picked 40 people there would be 30 of you sat fighting in SZ , or power levelling solo in a dark cave for 12hours a day to be first one to get lvl 50 , instead of actually testing

silly people

Agreed, all the small bugs that have not yet been found and fixed can be sorted with a weekly reboot/patch during live; and if/when needed an emergency reboot/patch at off-peak times would be understandable.

IMO there were 4 things stopping the server from going live:
1) Assassin skills riddled with bugs
2) Quest system riddled with bugs
3) Exp issues (mobs granting different exp for different players)
4) Archer unfinished

The last reboot seems to have fixed the first 3 of these issues so now all that's left is to finish the Archer. There are still some issues balancing the 2 new classes for PvP and end-game content (in their current state both will struggle to find a niche in group content IMO) but again that's something that can be worked on over time.

Beta testers know as much as anyone so ofc take what we say with a pinch of salt but I'm remaining optimistic and hopeful for a January release.

As long as sin & archer are finished i think they could go live and just patch weekly with the other bits :), only time will tell...


hopefully not too much time though

That sounds encouraging ! Hope it will be done this fast.

So what are you actually doing then? Asking to swop your level 34 class becoz you cba to re lvl a new char to 34 lol? Why put in for beta testing if you ain't got the time or patients?

In all fairness people are hardly going to be in the low end of the game for long, I mean once server is live within a week people are gna be 30-35, most people won't even bother to quest and will just grind the whole the way, I think open beta now or just going live is the way to go from now, like stated it's only minor things now and just patch as you go.

loving the impatience of some Mir players xD I'll wait as long as possible untill bugs are ironed out, things are balanced and fair. Why would any one in the right frame of mind want a rushed, buggy game lol... are you mental?

no game is bug free before or after it has gone live! every mmorpg I have played has had some sort of bug that needs fixing and when they do something else goes bad.

I think you need more people playing to actually see if the classes are actually balanced and as I have said before fresh new players means more people with fresh eyes looking for bugs.

bugs are fixed very quick tbf however archers are not ready to be released they are now being tested by over half the testers so hopefully can get it more balanced
