Advanced Weapon Testing Area(Test Continent)


As the name suggests, a test continent, live and in game, where tweaks and balance changes can be tested out on a trial basis.

This area would allow for greater player participation of testing. Not only would the players have far easier access(just go through the warpgate), the devs could also offer incentives to increase testing participation if such a thing was desired, since players are using their real characters.

Undoubtedly there would be difficulties with this, and it couldn't be used for everything. Brand new mechanics and vehicles/weapons would have to be patched in to be used, but for things like tweaks, it would function admirably.


It could be used for other things too. No dev testing currently? Well, there is a player petition for balance change X. It can be implemented on there for players to test out. This would be impressive. In all MMOs I've ever played in, the devs have never experimented with things. Obviously they do behind the scenes in their studio, but players rarely get to see it. This could be a place for such experimentation. Its a testing area. Things here may only last a week or two, then go away.
