Lord Machaar -> Testers (Balance) (2/14/2015 10:10:45)
|
Long ago, we heard about "Balance Tracker", testers, developper's server... Yet with these "Specific & Isolated" set of tools/members, we still see a huge lack of balance updates / Patchnotes.
Taking a look at a link I found on the artix page (www.artix.com) showing the current members of ED team. I was amazed by the names that showed up in the testing team.
Link: http://www.artix.com/pages/edstaff
Here are the following name of current ED testers:
1- Ichigo Kurosaki
2- Odin Fatalis
3- Overlord Drekon
4- Sir ND Mallet
5- Thurop Rekinvale
6- WhiteTiger
7- Mecha Mario: Lead tester, moderator, AK... etc, not sure how he does all this.
Out of all the 7 testers, 2 or 3 of them are actually players of ED, who were picked up due to their presence in the game, and being active. But what about others? Fake names? Fake players? To say that we have testers while we don't? Hmm, got me confused, since testing requires a specific set of members, who actually played the game, and ofcourse still playing it, but what I see now is an empty list. Time to let players decide too?
Discuss if you think that number/members of testing team should be changed to meet the current state of balance. Do you think that the time has come for players to actually test the game and suggest balance updates. Because I heard sometime ago that Rabblefroth reads the balance thread, yet he manages to refuse most of those suggestions/solutions in his head for the simple reason that they lack something. Well that's normal because players lay down those suggestions based on their character, sometimes from the air. If some of us had the ability to actually test the game we will manage, we also, to lay down better suggestions.
