| Subject | Remort 9 Race Testing |
| A handful of players have asked to be put on the test port in recent weeks but we haven't really seen much written feedback on the remort 9 races. I think that's a fault on our end for not specifying the type of feedback that we're looking for. Hopefully I can address that here. Our goal with putting the R9 races on the test port is to make sure that we don't end up with a few races that get completely ignored, like Dryad and Voadkin did for r7/r8. Take a look at the races. Can you honestly say that you'd consider using all of them? If not, then why? Do the racial skills feel balanced across all of the races? How about the specialties, vulns, resists, etc.? Is there a certain class that you feel is not represented with the choice of races? Are the races unique or interesting enough that you might be willing to try an unorthodox combination, like Titan Mage, or Dryad Gladiator? How do the races interact in PK? Is Genie ever going to stand a chance against Medusa? These are just a handful of questions that I hope can guide your feedback. Remort 9 is legitimately nearing completion and I'm not interested in releasing a remort where we haven't all done our due diligence in testing the races. If you need a hero character copied over to the test port, just ask. We can help with that very quickly, and the test port is loaded with exceptional Lua progs that will let you change your race and load equipment with no interaction from an immortal. You can also bug me specifically if you have things you want to test with another player. Please provide your feedback in writing on that port so that we can review it periodically. Sending me tells about what you think should be changed isn't useful because I won't remember. |
