Premium Testing
Premium testing is when we open up a separate sandbox server, and allow Premium & above donators to access it.
This session is mostly for the purpose of letting players test sets, but we will be looking at a few options and improvements from during this session. Massive credit to Orbit for his work on the market & banners. This session has tons of requested player suggestions, so make sure to pop in if you're eligible.
- You can now select in options which combinations of loot banners you would like to pop up.
- You can now choose if you want to see FB and UT drops in chat.
- You can now choose between 3 different chat text sizes.
- You can now choose between "Normal" and "Slim" chat box. "Slim" chat box will make it narrower and text won't go as far right on the screen.
- You can now toggle between seeing all items in the market and only the items you can currently equip.
- Doing /pinv will now automatically create a party for you if you don't lead one.
- Added /pclose. Usable by the leader and will close the party. Alternative to /pleave.
- Checks larger area for blocks when spawning events to prevent enemies spawning in walls
- Rock Dragon can no longer follow players endlessly. It will always stay inside it's set piece.
- You can now filter market GUI based on item type. For example, Bows or Anchors
- Locked players will now have a unique color on the mini map.
- Changed Ghall and Nexus targets so that abilities/leech/item effects work on them.
- Made Ghall and Nexus targets respawn immediately upon death.When: Saturday 8am EST to Sunday Evening EST.
How to access: Anyone with Premium or above will be able to see #prem-testing for access instructions.
