 Buglist

Ultimate Explorer: Prerequisite quest could not be completed.
Chryse: Regardless of level, Ericcson would not let you in. (Not officially released?)
Potion Shop: Potion Shop bug was back (Tespia-only feature?)

 Things that bother me

Guild: Skill names were too long
Guild: UI placement is a bit awkward
Other: What happened to Chryse?

Tespia Rounds:
1-1 - Monster Carnival and Horntail
1-2 - 3rd Anniversary and Showa
1-3 - Ariant, UI Updates and Windowed Mode
2-1 - Visitor's Event
2-2 - Big Bang Update
2-3 - Lion King Castle and Guild Update
*2-4 - 6th Maple Anniversary
*2-5 - Chaos Update

* - This Tespia Round is not out, but my predictions of what will be in it.

Maple Chaos testing inbound.

Also pic is from lolmarket, won't believe it until someone else from a more reliable source confirms it. Remember the photoshopped picture with 3 Big Bang release dates, that ALSO came from lolmarket??

Confirming legit screenshot. I get the same page when I go to the Tespia site.

I hope their selection process doesn't suck complete d'ick this time. And yeah, i doubt this is for chaos that seems REALLY early. LHC is next patch so maybe they feel the need to test it so we aren't disappointed on launch. Or rather so we can be disappointed when tespia opens.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah, my page looks the same too.

Well these things usualy last a week, so if LHC is to come out the 15th, we can see it soon.

Uh the few times I've needed to log into the website since the previous tespia it still keeps asking me if I want to play tespia or the live server...not sure they bothered to reset that.

If it's true, I didn't get picked again. -sigh-

You mean you hope they choose you.

Given how massively Big Bang failed, it would make sense for them to start testing Chaos now in order to prevent a repeat of history.

Given how massively Big Bang failed...

How did Big Bang fail...?

Also, I never get picked. Grrr.

That's assuming the porting of Chaos to GMS is sufficiently close to complete that it's playable.

Cause monsterbook got removed! Get with the times! Even thou big bang didnt have mind breaking glitches with the new skills! No monsterbook= massive fail

I was talking about the implementation of the patch. There were numerous errors that shouldn't have been present and could have been addressed prior to going live if they had given more time for testing. It also should've been done in waves with Tespia being taken down for maintenance every (other) day so testers could make sure changed issues weren't causing more issues.

Good to see you're still holding onto your childish grudge though.

Tespia for Big Bang wasn't really effective. This time Cody or whoever should advance you as well as leveling you up.

There are still a few bugs in warrior skills, I reported some during Tespia but didn't get fixed. Then some that were only really possible to find during GMS play because almost noone on Tespia had their 4th job skills maxed...

You mean you hope they choose you.

No. I don't need ANOTHER distraction from catching up with my work (because i was sick for 2 weeks, remember?). I meant what i said. The selection process for big bang was you were selected if you logged in once a day for a few weeks before tespia opened, which was f'ucking retarded because a lot of people who actually care about tespia weren't playing because they were waiting for big bang. They weeded out a ton of the base that would have made the most difference.

Their selection process was logically sound. The people who play the most should be the ones who know the most about the game, ideally. Other options are either inferior or too time consuming. And it should go without saying that if you want to be a part of testing you should actually play the game.

Nexon has no idea whether those people who stopped playing, just stopped playing period, or were waiting for BB (despite that we knew)... maybe they left for WoW's big incoming patch or other games. If they decided to include people that showed inactivity for the past two weeks, they may end up getting fewer testers than they need.

Thus, the specific criteria that they chose at least makes sense. They'll only choose people who show that they WILL actually be around for testing. They wouldn't want to select candidates and HOPE that they were just waiting for big bang and end up with people who don't show up at all.

They shoulda chose me.
