are the current DW changes on test?

[jam3]

As the topic says is the current DW changes going in for gu 38 on pvp test server currently?

[SaraBH]

I can tell you there on the PvE test but i cant seem to make a toon on PvP test to see there.

[Kirstie]

Some but not all of the changes are up on both of the Test Servers. We'll most likely be repurposing the PVP Test server for this update to help test out the changes to dual wield weapons but watch for more details on that later in the week. - K

<p>Anyone have any info on how dps has been impacted if at all?  How does 2hand stack up against dual wield now?  How does the buckler line for the warrior types stack up against dual wield?</p>

[Aeralik]

You will be able to test the changes on the second test world pretty soon as Kirstie mentioned.  So feel free to collect all the data you want with a variety of weapons and AA setups.

[Psychochimpy]

Woohoo, more time to loiter with Aeralik on SS docks trying to get him to spill the beans on upcoming changes ^_^

<p>From today's Test Update:</p><p><b>Test Server</b></p><p>*  To test out dual wield and other future changes, PvP Test is now a PvE server that anyone can copy too.  Use /testcopy add to copy your character to the open test server.  Copies occur nightly so once you execute the testcopy command expect to see your character there the following day.</p><p>--------------</p><p>This is not working on the live servers yet and it makes no sense to enable a character copy from 1 test server to the other. So, any idea when this will go to the live servers?</p>

So if there is going to be an open test server, does this mean fluffy will be comming back?! I never got too see it <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> lol I'm interested to see how this DW change really effects DPSers though.

[Anestacia]

It's tommorow morning (Thursday) and when i go to do /testcopy it says it is not available for this world.  Did it not make it in?

[NosajMa]

"Test copy logs are disabled for this world at the present time." That's the message that pops up in chat when you type /testcopy add.  This is on Unrest.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Wilin]

At least it recognizes the command now. Last night, it didn't even know what the /testcopy command was.

[ZUES]

1:30 pm CST and still not working here. : (

[Haruk]

works now!

[Aeralik]

I just want to point out that some of the weapons we are using for testing are being restricted to primary only in the real test update.  So while you can test the actual mechanics of it now expect some tweaking to come with the real GU38 test update.

I got it that there are some weapons will be restricted to primary only in the real test update.

[Lyasa]

i'm reading it as some weapons will soon be restricted to primary only in the real test update...? we'll find out soon

[Satu]

Stupid question probably, but, how do we log into the "second test" server?  I've played on test allot over the last couple of years, but, didn't know there was a "second server"  Any help would be appreicated thanks <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Supernova17]

When your character is copied, you simply log into your Test launcher and proceed to character select. Your character should be there waiting for you (mind you the Devs said it would take awhile to copy, overnight etc).

[Ranja]

Have anyone tryied those DW changes on paladin? Can they finally DW or will crusaders stay as they are?

[Cocytus]

No, crusaders can't dual wield.

[Lyasa]

but they can use old DW as 1 handers... which they already could, but now not feel silly doing it.
