For future test servers
This new test server has had its drama and stuff, so STS should probably take measures next time to avoid this.
Make a sign up list with a limited number of people
STS should announce a sign up thread, and the first 500 to sign up will be able to test the server. This will hopefully reduce the lag. People still might complain about "unfair advantages".
Devs need to test the server for potential bugs
I wonder if they even did this, because there was so much lag. Test the server each day for 1 week for potential bugs. This will improve user expirence because I'm telling you STS, people were insanely pissed at this event.
Give everyone the same amount of gear, plat, and gold. Keep it non-tradable.
This is huge issue, because when planar arena was released, everyone was complaining about boss difficulty and stuff. Most players had full mythic and an arcane ring last test server, and others had conquistador gear. Here is my idea:
- Weapon-Expedition Gun, magmatic claymore, and magamtic daggers
- Armor-Mythic
- Ring-Archon or mythic
- Amulet-Tarlok or Lunar
This way, you actually know which things need to be fixed. Please give feedback!
Bonus: Remake the planar map. It looks like redecorated shuyal.
