GU 45 - Whens it hitting Live?

[ShadowMunkie]

Just curious when you guys are putting this live. I know all the coercer would enjoy having it on live so we can actually test the changes since only 4-10 people on are Test_Copy at a time.

[Oh]

Soon(tm)

<p>Dunno, but I've got some greyed out HQs ready to hand in <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p><p>(How slack is THAT?)</p>

We can't exactly tell how well the changes are because there is not hardly anyone on Test_Copy to group with, other than Coercers. So Sadly we will have to resort to it being on LIVE to actually TEST the changes.

<p>It *is* quite amusing due to all the screaming in the past from lots of people about how a test copy server would somehow fix all the issues with broken content going live, and how people really *would* copy over to test. Now we have a test copy server and the only ones using it are a few of those that are directly effected by the changes. Quite the success, really.</p><p>Anyways, hopefully people on regular test are able to test it in a more realitic way (ie, mixed groups), and that itll be done sometime soon, got some things Im really looking forward with this update.</p>

Yeah, you're right.Can't really understand why you can't go on there, create any level of any class with standard gear sets and play it.

[Oh]

<p>As with what the other posts had said, it's more then just testcopy it's just getting to the server. Most folks have an issue just getting another copy of the game on their machine. Then the patches and updates. Also it can be a very challenging place if you dont know about /join test because there just isn't anyone chatting. Another very popular reasons why folks don't play on test is because they want to have fun(tm) with their game, testing another companies product usualy isn't considered "fun".</p><p>Anyways I can be a healer or dps I have ohiv already copied over (took a while since I didn't know they actually opened this up yet another issue) granted I can't be a tank but your pet can be <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> we can snare and try and kill some stuff. Worse case we die /shrug nothing new there.</p>

So, anyone have an ETA? Is this being tested now? Is it possible it will go live by next Tuesday (Tuesday being a good LU day, from what I remember)?

Because its available to everyone. </p><p>so while you dont see a full populated copy server you do see select people actually trying to parse and test changes. </p>

This is an issue also cause it shouldn't be cryptic just to get a) a test enviroment up, and b) getting your character(s) over there.
