GU 49 - when is it hitting Test??

Anastasie · 09-09-2008, 07:47 PM

I'm anxiously awaiting this to get patched to test - any clues as to when we can start testing it out?

Flamewi · 09-09-2008, 08:32 PM

Hopefully it won't come out until after they fix:

1) All the LD'ing in every zone in creation since GU48

2) All the screwed up coding in VP

3) etc...

Fatuus · 09-10-2008, 09:31 AM

I heard the devs are currently in the process of going over existing working code in the game trying to find ways of breaking existing code so players will look over flawed content issues.

*giggles* When it hits!

TreeMos · 09-10-2008, 11:37 AM

Between the technical issues I'm hearing about with GU48 and the need for that one dev to overhaul the look of the T1&T2 Guild Halls I'll be surprised if it appears on test before late next week. But I could live with an extended wait if they'd at least give us some updated, comprehensive details about the Guild Hall costs to tide us over. I need to have a long discussion/debate with my guild on our forums about which guild hall we might be able to afford and how much effort that will take. One that will hoepfully end before GU 49 goes live. But I also don't want to start it until all the final costs and features are known. After all, why get all worked up over something that might change?

Aneova · 09-10-2008, 12:36 PM

in the words of the dev's "Soon(tm)"

Kirstie · 09-10-2008, 02:12 PM

I'll make it official... soon (tm).

If you hold down ALT on your keyboard and press 0, 1, 5, 3 on your number pad, you'll get the TM symbol in superscript™.

At least, she was not stating "When it's done !" because, you know, thats reservered for 3DRealms and i would be REALLY worried if she have said something like that... GU49 Forever SMILEY

Beckah · 09-11-2008, 08:30 AM

Man you people are greedy GU48 was just released not too long ago and you already want GU49?

One thing i'm looking forward to is what a dev said in that they are going to tweak that guild recruitment window. Finally I won't see that crap where guilds are like at the top of the page and yet have no guild recruiters online.

Mikkahl · 09-11-2008, 01:02 PM

Are we assuming in this thread that GU49 = Guild Halls? I'm not sure where that correlation was announced. But our guild has been preparing to test guild halls on Test Copy for weeks now - gathering lots of plat and status, so bring it on!

Some of our guildies are assuming that the guild hall and amenities on Test will be reduced in cost (plat and status) for testing purposes. While that is helpful for quick testing, it means that we will not really know the final cost of things until it hits Live. Is there a possibility of having an OFFICIAL cost list for these things sometime before it hits the Live servers?

Eveningsong · 09-11-2008, 01:09 PM

Since Test is still working out the bugs on the second half of GU48 (bone chips finally completed, yay!), I'd expect it might be at least a few days before GU49 hits SMILEY

Especially if the current quest is no longer available once GU49 arrives. The second stage is pretty lengthy, so they need to give folks a bit of time to complete it, since Test always loses events before Live does.

Soooooo... Is it soon yet? Perhaps tomorrow might be soon? Or at least this week is soon I'd think. Next week as soon would be rough... God forbid should we be seeing soon next month... Throw us a frik'n bone here!

Ooo, they just shut down the Test Copy server for a "brief update". Could it really be that soon™ is today!

Finally ... the update is downloading and decompressing. Looks like perhaps we will have login for GU49 shortly/soon (TM). SMILEY
