Test Scheduling
Queso:
Because that's when the Muse team is hard at work fixing networking bugs.
GeoRmr:
How better to test networking than with players outside the US, with terrible europoor internet, who have finished work and are playing in the evening? =P

Hey there,
Straight to the point: I'm organizing a test run for the newest dev app changes. The test will take place on this Saturday, at 15:00 EST / 22:00 CET. It would be excellent if we could get at least 8-16 players in total to test things for roughly 2 hours, give or take. If we can get more people, we can make it a 3v3, but for now I'm planning a 2v2. We will meet in the dev app around 14:45-15:00 EST / 21:45 – 22:00 CET. I’ll create a match and everyone will be free to join. If there are people who can't make it at 15:00 EST / 22:00 CET but could join later, no problem - everyone is free to join the match via match list later on.
During this session – which will consist of regular matches in a scrambled lobby - it is very much encouraged to use the new and changed ammunition and openly talk about game balance via in-game text chat. Whenever you have time; during deaths, out of combat time, lobby phase, etc. This is the most important thing; unique, individual and also group feedback about the changes. I will be recording the chat and will forward your opinions so you don't have to go beyond discussing them.
Of course, in addition to this, everyone is more than welcome to join the discussion at the dev app forums. If you do not have access to that section of the Guns of Icarus forums yet, E-mail keyvias@musegames.com to get it. The reason I mention the forums as a second alternative in this case is that I feel that there are a lot of people who do not frequent the forums but would still have a lot of very useful feedback about the balance changes. By organizing a testing session where in-game feedback is also recorded and forwarded, it is not necessary to log in on the forums to give your input.
The biggest changes on the dev app currently relate to different ammunition. One of the main goals is to make the gunner class more viable compared to the gunning buff engineer, and a number of steps have been taken to accomplish this. The dev app will regularly get updates, and it is possible that there will be another update before the test day.
I'm posting this on the forums since out of the 4 contact persons from 4 different clans I've contacted earlier this week, none have replied to me (or their replies have not reached me due to technical difficulties) about how many people they would be getting for tomorrow. I'm hoping we will get 8-16 people, maybe even more, for this session.
p.s. If your clan needs additional dev keys, I will be sending them in a separate E-mail upon request. Just say so in this thread.

Imagine:
Errrrr... are those times right? I'm pretty sure CET isn't supposed to be behind EST (or, as we are now in daylight savings, EDT)...
macmacnick:
Heh, Got that mixup in an E-mail from him, had some difficulties with organizing that for Cake... Thankfully, I corrected it on my calendar
