Mir Odyssey - Show yourself!

[LightBringer]

Everyone has and is entitled to their own thoughts of what should/shouldn't be in Mir Server etc; but until you've tried it with people, you won't know how well it'll go down, and more often then not, you need to please the majority (as UC is a massive factor for server longevity in the start)

However as a server owner, you need to be conscious of your choices to not alienate certain player types.
You want to have motives in your game for players to want to stay logged in and farm, Mir has always had the competitiveness, and arguably one of the things that makes it so addictive.

I want people to want to log in, and play for as long as possible, to do that, you need to have 'rewards' for the people who put the time in, but without making it detrimental to the casual players.

I dont really know where I was going with this....

I do agree with closed beta tests by cherry picking who to test.
Most open beta goes by "GM please @make and @mob 1000 Uma Taurus", which in most cases most important stuffs to be tested gets ignored.

I could later if the guys are OK with it, but nothing really amazing happening, just plodding along the quests and pointing out very minor things

OK with anyone streaming if they fancy it.

As for release, we haven't discussed specific dates, but closed will be going a short while longer (as we've had a lot of small changes to rectify things that we missed - UI misalignments, minor bugs etc) - once these are done, it goes to Open Beta (then it just depends on if it doesn't create much of a list to change and test!)

I am working on the LOMCN and email advert this weekend, though!

Prime sub me, I'm not in beta, but recently started streaming raginbazzattv

Right, speaking to Chris later about the next few people to send links out to!

We've covered an awful lot so far in terms of small issues fixings as well as some bigger impacting issues, so thank you so far to the closed beta testers for their feedback.
Really glad we've chose to a closed first, as things that are reported aren't reported 100x like in Open beta, reduces the noise a lot!

added a lot of extra QoL stuff thanks to many peoples suggestions on closed beta too, so expecting similar things from the next wave!

Looking forward to this, the fact it's just 3 classes like i have said to a few people, should bring in a nice usercount, back to the classic feel, sort of.
I hope the bounce back issue in PvP is looked at though if it is a problem here, it's been an issue that has affected PvP massively on the last 2 decent servers to surface, Artificial, EuroReborn.


Just put my hand out again for a potential invite also while im here.

 

[LightBringer]

Chris has fired out some more beta invites, if you havent been collared yet, doesn't mean you wont.

We are doing it in stages is all, when he things die down from the first wave, we bring a second wave.
When the list dries up, we will be reviewing for Open!

Open is looking to test progress/rates/difficulty and general game crash level stuff (so having boss events n stuff) - also PvP is a big one I want to monitor here.

So far I think it's going well and people seem quite receptive !

 

[theduke]

goddammit i think some one stole my invite from my mail!!

how do we know if we are on your list of invites? my email inbox usually has tons of incoming mail. will i recieve a PM here if so?

 

[Hole]

I'll be giving this one a go!

 

[LightBringer]

Will update a few more soon, we're jus fixing and adding / fixing things we've added so then the next people can input on new things!

However on a side note peoples input on guild buffs would be good, I have always hated how people used the points, as it became pointless due to always being able to unlock all buffs irrelevant of point generation.

Attached a file to see what you guys think of this?
* You will be able to reset your guild points however each time it will cost more and more; and there will be a cooldown before you can do it again (if we go this way).*

Basically you as a guild need to make choices on what buffs will benefit you most as a collective

@LightBringer
Yeah this definitely makes a lot of sense, will be interesting to test that out. Think maybe limiting the max member count to 20 might be a bit inhibiting though? Then again, it would encourage alliances and drive active members as opposed to most of the guild being full of alts / inactive. Actually, I also think smaller guilds are better with a private server user count anyway, encourages diversity and competition. Hopefully means the elite won't be bundled in a massive guild and dominate.

This is why I'm eager to try this out - you're definitely trying a lot of new things with this one! All sounding great to me XD
