13:07: [The Dojo] Chronita: OK, let's begin the assembly now, as always, with a /pray :) 13:07: [The Dojo] Chronita: Now for the mandatory “Rules of the Assembly” speech. . . ;) 13:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: I will be moderating this Assembly. This is not to prevent you from expressing yourself, on the contrary, but rather to try to keep it organized. Until I open a topic for discussion, comments in the org channel should be kept at a minimal. 13:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: If I open a discussion, you may freely contribute to the discussion (without standing up), until the discussion is closed. If I ask for any new topics and you have one you would like to raise, please stand and I will recognize you so you can state your topic, then we will have a discussion. 13:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: When discussing, pls respect the others, and stick to the topic currently being discussed. Applicants are requested to limit their posts, and cannot take part in votes. 13:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: If someone from outside the org disturbs our meeting here, the best policy is to just ignore him/her. A council member or myself can tell them the meeting is in progress and ask them to leave, otherwise we should limit our contact with them. In the past it has been proven time and time again that the “zen” approach is best :) 13:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: End of Speech :) 13:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, just 1 main topic from me today, then a couple of drawing matters, then we will have open topic time :) 13:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: The topic for today concerns the test server, and the recent changes there 13:11: [The Dojo] Chronita: This past week the test server was wiped of all characters to create a fresh testing environment. 13:12: [The Dojo] Chronita: To complensate for the lack of testers at the outset, FC has implemented a small automatic boost system for the first week. 13:12: [The Dojo] Chronita: If you create a level 1 character on test now, then log out for a few hours. . . 13:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: when you log in again you will automatically be level 25, with 5 million credits and plenty if IPR points :) 13:14: [The Dojo] Chronita: For anyone who is interested in helping out on the test server, now is the time to start. 13:14: [The Dojo] Scythewind: AFTER assembly, that is ;) 13:14: [The Dojo] Ramsey7: lol 13:14: [The Dojo] Chronita: If you have not visited test yet, instructions on how to set up a connection to the server are on the main FC AO webpages. 13:15: [The Dojo] Traineeer: Is it like NW beta, when if we lvl to lvl 2 we would be lvl 50 and so on? or is it only to lvl 25? 13:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: Also there is a Test Server forum on the official FC forum listing with plenty of information on the new systems in place. 13:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: just to 25 train 13:15: [The Dojo] Traineeer: ok 13:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: now for a few more details on how you progress on test. . . 13:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: basically if you wish to have special items or higher boosts, now you have to earn them 13:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: you earn them by collecting test points, which are obtained in a number of ways. . 13:17: [The Dojo] Chronita: simple time played on test, helping a BH (bug hunter - ARK special ops ;) ), and submitting bug reports 13:18: [The Dojo] Chronita: once you collect points you can spend them on incremental boosts (up to level 175 possible) or that rare item you would really like to try out ;) 13:18: [The Dojo] Chronita: while on test there is a global channel that everyone regardless of side listens to - this is for test coordination mainly 13:19: [The Dojo] Chronita: on test there are 2 levels of help available as well 13:19: [The Dojo] Chronita: the BH - arks that can cast buffs and help you out of jams if needed 13:19: [The Dojo] Chronita: and the new Test Council - of which I am a member 13:20: [The Dojo] Chronita: 9 of us test vets who have 1 level 200 avatar, and also a "buff" support character for the community. 13:21: [The Dojo] Chronita: the list of the council is on the forum as well, but if you need assistance on test, you can usually just ask on the global channel and someone will respond if possible 13:22: [The Dojo] Chronita: 1 last not on the level 25 boosting - it is temporary (will end sometime this coming week) and is available for up to 8 characters 13:22: [The Dojo] Greenstorm: oh nm 13:22: [The Dojo] Greenstorm: mt 13:23: [The Dojo] Chronita: in addition to all this new structure, there is also a new patch on test :) 13:23: [The Dojo] Chronita: the main feature of this patch is an overhaul of the pet pathing system 13:23: [The Dojo] Opitist: bye all:( 13:23: [The Dojo] Akidoe: bout time 13:23: [The Dojo] Opitist: i gotta go 13:23: [The Dojo] Fratzi: hi all sorry i am late 2 times disconected :( 13:24: [The Dojo] Ramsey7: so does that mean if u get the boost they take it away or that the boosting thing will only work till the end of the week 13:24: [The Dojo] Opitist: buh bye 13:24: [The Dojo] Chronita: if you have a pet class alt, i certainly suggest you head to test and check out the improvements there, and help provide feedback if possible :) 13:24: [The Dojo] Acidrainn: wow test server sounds kewl 13:25: [The Dojo] Tabataia: nice to hear i always wanted to try a crat :) 13:25: [The Dojo] Chronita: test is a very nice place overall, it shares many characteristics with The Dojo IMO as far as community and helpfulness is concerned 13:25: [The Dojo] Acidrainn: me and my bro r gonna try mp on test and ill tell ya how the pets work out 13:25: [The Dojo] Chronita: great acid :) 13:26: [The Dojo] Chronita: do be warned tho that many ppl are flocking to test atm for the new changes, so the envirnment might be a little more crowded and hostile at times than usual ;) 13:27: [The Dojo] Chronita: thats about all from me atm on the test server, does anyone have any personal experiences to add or questions to ask? 13:27: [The Dojo] Scythewind: bear in mind however, that test sever is exaclty that, TEST. it's great for trying out new ideas, but if you are plannign on being there a while, please try to help look for bugs. 13:27: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: I hit level 32 and saw god. no seriously, I tried out an MP there, the future version of my Munkeeimp self and its a neat experience. 13:28: [The Dojo] Ramsey7: u said the boost thing was till the end of the week so does that mean if u already recieve the boost that they take it away or theyy'll stop the boosting at the end of the week 13:28: [The Dojo] Chronita: exactly, while it is a nice place, so is The Dojo :) test should primarily be about the testing :) 13:28: [The Dojo] Chronita: they stop boosting at the end of the week 13:28: [The Dojo] Chronita: you retain your lvl 25 boost if you went through the process 13:29: [The Dojo] Ramsey7: ty 13:29: [The Dojo] Chronita: certainly, any other questions?
