Playtest Monday

[Hamma]

News of a playtest Monday:

Playtest -- January 30th, 2006 (Build 3.10.4) -- 3:00p Los Angeles / 6:00p New York / 11:00p UK
Continent: Oshur, the Desolation Battle Island!
Objectives

• TR Objective: Use a NC or VS alt and join in on the fun
• NC Objective: Crush the VS and force them off of Desolation
• NC will start with Izha
• VS Objective: Crush the NC and force them off of Desolation
• VS will start Dahaka
• Jamshid will start as a powered down neutral base with 0 NTU
• This will be an limited engagement scenario and the following rules apply: Stay on Desolation!

Note 1: If you normally test as TR and do not have a NC or VS alt please log in as TR and stay in the TR Sanctuary. Check the NC and VS populations and then make an alt with the empire with the lowest population. I'd like to keep the teams as even as possible for this playtest.
Note 2: At the end of the playtest there will be a HUGE EXP Fountain for NC and VS only. This will be a great opportunity to make a NC or VS alt and get them leveled high enough to wear shades and check out the new hats!
Changes to look for in 3.10.4:

• New empire specific berets for players with battle rank 24 or higher (toggles on/off with the /hat command. Note: You must first toggle your helmet off with the /helmet command to see the hat)
• Fixed an issue where shades and command ear pieces would be visible through cloaking bubbles in certain situations
• Slightly adjusted the position of the shades on the female models so they fit better

Duration

• 1 - 1.5 hours

Notes

• Players who intentionally fire upon other players or abuse the Orbital Strike during the cease fire at the end of the playtest will have their IDs sent to the CSRs for disciplinary action affecting your Live account
• Instructions for getting into the Public Test Server can be found here
• If you encounter a new bug, please use the in-game bug reporting tool via /bug.
• If you crash to desktop (CTD), please restart the game and submit your crash log via the dialog box that appears when you restart the game. If a crash log wasn't generated, please let a QA Rep know that you had a CTD and what happened in-game just before the time of crash.

Thanks for helping out and we'll see you online!

Empire specific berets interesting indeed. Head to our forums to discuss the new patch information!
