Thlaylie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Uh Oh! BW seems to have adapted several STO devices. The Good: Scavenging resource gear dohickeys, make the discarded pipes and piles of metal more visable. The Bad: A Test Server! Using server resources better dedicated to game use. The Ugly: Website congestion leading to page loading failures. Not fun especially with a Security Key. Also probably from resource reallocation. DON'T LET STO RUIN OUR SWTOR!!!!!

QDMcGraw Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Good idea: Putting your fingers in pudding and eating it. Bad idea: Putting your in Hydrobromic acid and eating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thlaylie Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 As long as there are still ques resources should not be used for test servers. Clear up all ques before extraneous test servers are initiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCJEV Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I never thought I'd see SWTOR compared to STO. Admittedly I have a lifetime subscription to STO, and it's my guilty pleasure when the SWTOR servers are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thlaylie Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 This is my forth MMO. I don't remember a test server in Eve or Aion? Just don't want SWTOR to follow the path of STO. "Once upon the path......" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshalleck Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) As long as there are still ques resources should not be used for test servers. Clear up all ques before extraneous test servers are initiated. Queues aren't there because the server can't handle the population. They're there to incentivize players moving over to less populated servers thus redistributing the population. A whole bunch of moderately populated servers is a better gameplay experience for the majority of the playerbase than a handful of absolutely jam packed servers and then a dozen empty ones. So they put queues on the high pop servers, players get sick of waiting in queue, and reroll elsewhere. Or that's the idea anyway. It's not because the server is so full of players it's about to crash. Edited December 29, 2011 by marshalleck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrolight Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 This is my forth MMO. I don't remember a test server in Eve or Aion? Just don't want SWTOR to follow the path of STO. "Once upon the path......" Biggest MMO on the market = WoW. MMO that has a test server = WoW. I think that trumps EvE (LOL) and Aion (going great in Korea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saice Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The glow thing was in beta too for what ever reason it was disabled at launch. Glad it is back you try finding a stone tablet on the ground under tall grass sometime. Also it will not be visable unless you have the skill needed to harvest it.

"Once upon the path......" Eve at a test server. Can't say for Aion but we know how that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thlaylie Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 What happened to Aion? It was fun, I'm just not big on Fantasy. Same reason I never played WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
