When abouts do we get to /beta copy toons over?

Griffon Lady · 10-21-2015, 04:22 AM

I'm not sure if we're supposed to be able to or not yet, so heads up if we are supposed to be able to copy toons over. It's disabled still. I tried the buff thing, but without /claim or some way to get a flying mount quickly, I didn't have time (Homework and scholarship hunting for next term, as well as a sewing project involving a 7 foot tall plush robot with light up eyes) I just think I'll hold off till I can play my comfy Necro.
(Not that I could have copied today. lol All my played toons are ... were... on Crushbone. [I still say the best option for all playstyles would have been taking Dark Age of Camelot's idea of basically keeping the servers as sort of an instanced version so peeps/guilds could keep their names, cross server travel would be as easy as a world bell (for subscribers), people looking for groups/guilds/raids or looking to view houses could search all servers, and those of us who try to avoid crowds could run off to the least populated servers. All kinds of win win... except for the already overburdened programmers, but hey, job security, right?]) Tongue

Ah, Thanks much. ^_^

Griffinhart · 10-22-2015, 01:28 AM

Now that the first server merge is done, is there an ETA for when we can /beta our toons to the beta server?

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 01:35 AM

After tomorrow's patch (Thursday)

Griffinhart · 10-22-2015, 01:45 AM

Thanks for the update Smile

Raveen · 10-22-2015, 04:09 PM

Are you guys patching the beta server after the main server patches? I'm just wondering because I tried to beta copy my toon on Perma and it says still not available. While I am having fun testing the beta its really not the same without our main Chars.

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 04:48 PM

We are in process of testing it, once it passes we will enable it and let everyone know its active.

Elinea · 10-22-2015, 05:14 PM

I will say that some of the beta buffed characters I made are pretty badass and don't even need a merc to fight stuff and live (like I thought I'd need). Once we get our geared toons in, we're going to plow through this stuff like it's nothing.

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 05:18 PM

The majority of the overland population have not been balanced for difficulty yet. We are working on it Smile

Elinea · 10-22-2015, 05:23 PM

Fair enough.
I recall getting one shotted by grimlings in Tranquil Sea last year...should I be worried? Tongue

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 05:27 PM

Beta copy is now active. Enjoy!

10-22-2015, 05:32 PM

Does it take awhile for beta copy to appear? Did /beta in game, switched to beta & no character.

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 05:35 PM

It can take up to 30min but typically pretty fast.

Ansom · 10-22-2015, 05:47 PM

So... I will able to copy my toon after the patch on splitpaw?

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 05:50 PM

/beta should work on euro servers right now even without the patch.

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 05:50 PM

It can take up to 30min to go through especially if a lot of requests are happening and a lot of requests are happening Smile

Ansom · 10-22-2015, 05:52 PM

Even with the message: "Beta copy logs are disabled for this world at the present time."?

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 05:55 PM

hmmm looking into it

10-22-2015, 05:56 PM

I was just able to run /beta successfully on Splitpaw with the characters Baesj, Rizm, Mysticmouse and Akkurat.

Ansom · 10-22-2015, 06:04 PM

Ok, so.. /beta don't work in my house (still got the mess). In freeport work.

Raveen · 10-22-2015, 06:08 PM

I dont think we will be getting the one shot from any quest mobs. Last years xpack was a level change and huge mit change to gear. I didn't see a huge mit change in the current quested gear just way more STA.

10-22-2015, 06:14 PM

If it has been over 30 minutes is that when we should contact someone or wait longer?

Gninja · 10-22-2015, 06:24 PM

Just verified characters are getting copied over the script is pretty backlogged though from the number of copies so just give it some time to catch up

Spunkel · 10-22-2015, 06:31 PM

/beta works fine on european servers or at least on Valor.

Now it would be awesome to get a fix for Vista please...

10-22-2015, 07:13 PM

Will sitting at the character select "auto-update" for the /beta characters or do you have to keep logging in and out of the game to see when it transferred?

10-22-2015, 07:14 PM

I typed /beta on majdul around 10am PST and character hasn't shown up yet. How backed up are we at the moment?

10-22-2015, 07:18 PM

I did mine at around 9:30 PST and it's still not there yet so I'm guessing they are really backed up atm.

FriggaWitch · 10-22-2015, 07:27 PM

Well I tried to do a /beta and it said this
[IMG]

When I logged onto the Beta server NO COPY was there just the stupid buff toon I made. Geez

10-22-2015, 07:53 PM

Still no characters, /beta at 9pst Frown
