Suggestion List of commands in Test Server

I suggest BP adds a list of commands that testers can type in the chat so they can get some gold, anders, or level up, etc. like other MMORPG... in the end its a "Test" server made to test game features not only bugs. I find it not logical to grind through the whole game just to reach level 50 to test their features. I know some might say if we added this feature no one would play the real game but on the contrary, this can boost a player's enthusiasm towards achieving that in the real game or in PVP (considering the test server doesn't have much pvp action). This is a suggestion and I want your opinions.

Thanks.

 

No, because one of the things they've said in the past regarding why they don't just hand out free andermant and high level toons is that the purpose of the Test Server is to test some features, not have an alternative to the live servers. This is why they don't hand out resources without a good reason. With Crafting 2.0, they've done it twice in the past month, but other than that, I think that they've only done it 2-3 times in the last year.

Perhaps a better idea is something else similar to what other games do with their PTRs. That is; you can click a button and make a copy of your live character on the test server. The problems is, to do that, first they'd need to figure out how to make server transfers possible which, if I remember right, has been taking them forever and a day, despite being a big community request.

P.S.
I think most people are on the same page as me... it is rare that I see a poll on this forum go 100% in any direction.

 

Hmm... I see. Thanks for your reply.

 

+1 to that.

 

And then only open up the Test server when there is something they deem worthy of testing. That would keep this weird thought process that players will only play the Test Server if they get supplies needed to properly test.

 

Although I do like TS being open most of the time. That way when a failed new feature is coming down I can get past my disappointment before it hits the live servers

Maybe the way that they ought to do is similar to how they do it now, but with a small difference. Release the next version as soon as it is at a testable stage (like they do now), but once that goes live, the test server goes off line until the next time a release is ready for testing. The only time it would be down is in that 1-2 week time-frame in between a release on the live servers and when the next test version is ready.
