Should Test Server Be Available to Everyone?

[r_DarkSasuke99990 11]

I personally think that test server should be available for everyone.

I really do not get why people have to send a request.

Like, if they don't want to help they don't have to right?

[r_DarkSasuke99990 11]

Also, others with questions can test out things before actually buying it and getting frustrated

What in your mind is the purpose of the test server?

Well to fix bugs, and TEST basically...

Okay, I'll clarify. The test server exists for the sole purpose of organized testing of features and fixes that developers need an extra set of eyes on. Opening the test server up to everyone would result in server overload, inability to get an organized group together, interference with the step-by-step testing process and would in general defeat the purpose of having a test server. When a high-load testing is necessary, the test server is open to everybody, but in other times it will stay available only to an organized and carefully selected group of players who know what to do and when to do it. Does this answer your question?

Well, still, maybe the developers can actually grant people access to the test server when they email them?

Like I said, there is no reason for this and in fact it would prevent the due testing process from happening, so that is not going to happen. Invite codes exist so testers can recruit helpers when they need them for a specific purpose. Administration does not distribute invites, it appoints testers and provides invites to them so they can get help.

In other words, there are barely any English testers for most testers are Russian and not many of them know English also, therefore don't give others codes?

Developers are from russia and all testing instructions are posted in russian.

So then yes :roll:

Good grief, Dark...they want people who are valuable to the testing process. You only want to be a tester so you can play on the new maps. Leave it alone.

[r_Pin4er1630 25]

No. 99% of players will use it for drugs and stupid things. Test server was made for TESTING.

[r_u8plus0 42]

all people who have acsess to server vote no so screw them selfish pigs

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

NO, I don't have access to the test server. I vote no because it was made for testing not playing.

[r_Pin4er1630 25]

Warning. I also don't have acсess.

[Barghest 84]

I voted yes ,but i don't care about the test server at all. One day testing is over and my account is gone, i rather spend my time on my regular tanki account.

To clarify things again.The test server is not available for random players, it is only allowed for selected and chosen players(basically russians). It is almost impossible to be able to open the test server because like i said it is only for selected players.
