Even map makers can't sometimes access the test server!

 

Let me tell you that Alternativa cares about Mip-Mapping a lot more than mind mapping. They thing writing a UML diagram for their code is more useful than doing a diagram for the game design. They are hardcore developers rather than game designers. In a game project expect for a Game Designer no one actually can say "i created this game". But who cares?

 

Look how the designers changed the flag indication system thinking "Yeah manager, i think changing it to this looks more interesting". I believe they asked their graphic designer to come up with an idea of that kind.Maybe the new flag indication system looks beautiful to the eye, but that's just silly. That is not obeying any of interface design rules.

 

These all happen because they do not actually test things with the most important group of testers, target audience. They don't because they are programmers rather than game designers!

 

but the little thing is that sometimes the creator of a map or official game testers create a single map and discuss the many aspects of the game in real time.

Maybe the test server can be public, but in game development one of the most important roles are played by game testers. I won't suppose they should allow my cousin to be testing the game aesthetics and mechanics !

 

For more information on subject of QA and testing you can read this very useful book. Many of the famous game designers started with game testing and ended up in Infinity Ward!

 

With all these, i think i can convince them to let public test the new version of Persia models soon.

If your rank is Staff Sergeant and higher, you're ready to stand bugs and restarts, if you want to help the project and get access to new features that are absent on the main server - come to test server http://test.tankionline.com

On test server you have much more crystals that on the main one, but your rank can be lower than on the main server.

Everything you earn on test server will never appear on the main server.

Test server is not always active.

 

Share your impressions in this topic and of course send bug-reports directly from the game

 

how do i get my invite code

this stupid freaking so called "test server brings pain and dispair" to certain people who can't join and you say OH IF YOU'RE A STAFF SARGEANT OR HIGHER im way higher than that rank...... the stupid invite code is stopping everyone from going to the test server.
yeah how do u get 1 any way :evil: :evil: :evil:

Why do you have to have a code to get in, the test server could be much better if there was no code everyone should be able to join so they can all enjoy the server.

It would also help with bug reporting, the more people are playing in the server the more bugs will be reported and fixed so the updates can come out faster.

why is there an invite code any way its so freakin bad :evil: :evil: :evil:

This is stupid almost everyone that has sent the code request to that e-mail that was posted on the 2nd page NEVER has got an invite code, c'mon do you guys wanna find the bugs or not the more people the easier and faster it will be to find/eliminate bugs and to get the updates on the real server(s).
