Title: Weapons Testing Post by: ChromeAngel on November 28, 2006, 09:19:54 AM I thought you guys might like to know the team did a spot of weapons testing last night.
Weapons Tested: Boltgun Bolt Pistol Knife Deathspitter and Talons (combo weapon) Lasgun (3rd person view, see below) Here's a screenshot I grabbed : (http://www.chromeangel.co.uk/Exterminatus/warehouse.jpg) We've got a way to go yet before it's ready to be played, but we're making progress.

was a interestign test (mainly as weapon damage aint working right and only the knife was actually dangerous...)

Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Fulgrim on November 28, 2006, 04:07:22 PM Yeah, good job team :D Knowing that there is already a theoretically playable version is really reassuring.
On the picture, are those mushrooms growing on top of the tyranid tentacle? Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Typheron on November 28, 2006, 04:14:43 PM no.

Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Frost on November 30, 2006, 12:30:37 AM I will be the first to put my hand up for alpha/beta testing when the time comes, I can't wait
Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Tortured_Soul on November 30, 2006, 08:55:28 AM Frost what they are doing is Alpha Testing. Typically Alpha is done by the dev team. Beta testing is when it's handed out to the public/some public to test.
Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Typheron on November 30, 2006, 01:42:36 PM actually there will be a oppertunity for more alpha testers at a later date.
Evenutally we will have to stress test the game by shoving as many people as possable into a server and then frantically tryign to break it by spamming guants, PDF and the like to see just how much it can take. I belive the record set by RS1 was something like 1000 bots before the server imploded. Also as dev team we tend to play the game as how we view it should be played, so typically we miss a few exploits here and there. An example would be of rs1 again where you could choose any class to play with. Good idea if your dev team, piss poor when every single new player wanted a dreaddy or termi. Thus we will need new people to look at the game before it goes public to find these things and report them. So expect a call just before things go public. It will be first come first served and we wont just take anyone. Being the the IRC helps your chances.

Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Alhaus on November 30, 2006, 06:41:48 PM multiple times...
Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Khargoth on January 07, 2007, 07:04:31 PM Pic appears to be broken, but it's probably my lousy DSL choking, it loaded about a fifth of the image, which was a promising back and ridge of chitin. Ah well. Good to hear RS2 is progressing at a steady rate.
I'm more than happy to loan my meager bandwidth towards attempting to break a server :P Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Typheron on January 07, 2007, 10:45:50 PM as said before, there will be a call for when we need testers.
Currently theres not that much to test. Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Brother-Captain Severus, Deserted Legion 3rd Company Master on January 07, 2007, 10:50:43 PM Well you got the Boltgun, the Imperial Guard are functional and you got most other basic stuff. There's that to test... Not saying that you should release it as a beta, the choice is entirely yours between you guys.
Title: Weapons Testing Post by: Typheron on January 08, 2007, 10:36:04 AM to test such things you need 2 people max, and we currently have about 6 people.
No what we will need testers for is when we have a game to play, we dont have that just now beyond a bunch of in game models and weapons that require minimal maintinence. |
