Test server

[Groma]

Please, remove the beta buffer in Sinking Sands.  It went from a few nights of nice 1v1s to test out the changes to a couple gank groups of rangers running around just messing things up for the few people that are trying to legitimately test these changes.  Gotta get a dev out there to keep it clean otherwise your testers are gone.

Yea, it's getting ridiculous. All night there was one group going around messing up people's one vs ones. We are SUPPOSED to be on the server to TEST the PVP mechanics changes, not TEST how 'uber leet' your beta buffed chars are.

lol ya I was there healing up getting rdy to test my skills against a guard and this [Removed for Content] killed me from behind. Of course it was on then, I logged on my other char and just beat the hell out of him over and over until he finnaly logged. Then I did the same with his friends all night. Though pvp is the art of getting ur [Removed for Content] kicked unexpectedly soooo.

The beta buffer is what makes the testpvp server great. Its like the abyss in UO. Some people might want to try out a brand new class and see how it is at high level. I know I rolled some new characters on there to see how it is. I have some new respect for rangers now. They are hard to beat if you know how to play them but if you are like me you will get rolled very easily until you learn the class. Test servers are more for fun and trying different things with your characters then to test out their game for them. Last time I checked they pay a development team and testers to do that. I understand you want to 1 on 1on the test but just like in the real game go away from the respawn  points to fight. try flying to undercity arena and fighting , not like theres tons of people on.

Just remember to respect people who are fighting 1v1 or just finishing up a fight.  There is no need to jump in and gank people like some have been doing when they are actually trying to test stuff.  You can use /ooc between alignments so arranging 1v1 or group vs group is pretty easy and encouraged since ganking people low health has no meaning over there in the long term.

Just asking a ranger nicely not to snipeshot you whiel you are fighting someone one on one doesn't work out well in 90 % of the time.
