The Public Test Server is live! Join your fellow players and help us test the newest content for Arcane Legend before it is released to the masses!*
*The Public Test server is currently only available for players on Android devices.
**VERY IMPORTANT** The public test server is a testing environment. Everything you see may not be in its final state and is subject to change. It is always possible that things may appear differently in the game when the event goes live. We will do our very best to identify and communicate these changes when the event begins. This also means that there is the likelihood that players will encounter bugs, crashes and unexpected game behavior. These things are all part of the reason we run a test. If you encounter bugs, crashes or anything that just doesn't seem quite right please report it on the forums using the link and instructions below.
How to Join the Public Test Server
1. Follow the instructions in the article here, to allow installs from "unknown sources" on your Android device This will allow you to download and run the test server: http://support.spacetimestudios.com/customer/portal/articles/963700-enable-%22out-of-market-content%22-downloads
2. On your Android device go to: http://account.spacetimestudios.com/download/ArcaneLegendsTest.apk to download the Test Server application.
3. Open the application and log in to your Spacetime Studios account as normal. You're in!
What to Know Before You Begin
Characters
We took a snapshot of the server on Wednesday morning (2/11) at 6 a.m. CST. All characters that you had on the live server were saved at that time and will appear on the test server as they were when the snapshot was taken, including skills, gear, inventory etc. Any changes that happened after that time will not be reflected on the test server. Also, any and all changes to your character that happen on the test server will not affect your character in the live game.
All players on the public test server will automatically be set to level 41, regardless of level on the live game. This will ensure that the limited number of players on the server will be on the same playing field and able to run through game content together.
Account
You will need a REGISTERED Spacetime account to play on the Public Test Server. Characters on trial accounts will not be accessible. If you were playing on a trial account and did not register before the server snapshot this morning, you will not be able to access your character. However, you are still able to access the Public Test Server and create a new character if you'd like.
PLEASE NOTE: Only registered STS (e-mail) accounts and Facebook bound accounts were transferred into the test server. Players with registered Google Play accounts can still access and play the game, but will need to create a new character in order to do so. New characters will automatically be set to lvl 41 and given 2,000 Platinum to gear up. Please follow this tutorial on how to navigate the new user experience on the test server: http://support.spacetimestudios.com/customer/portal/articles/1661040-what-is-the-test-server-and-how-do-i-participate-
Platinum
All test server participants will receive 2,000 platinum to use during the duration of the test. Using this platinum does not affect your platinum balance in the real game, and likewise your platinum on the test server will not be available in the live game. This platinum is granted so that you can take full advantage of the game on the test server in the limited time it is available.
What happens when it is all over?
The public test server will be available for a limited time. Once it closes, you may remove the application by following these instructions: http://support.spacetimestudios.com/customer/portal/articles/1616824-how-do-i-uninstall-an-application-android- . You will be able to return to the live game at any time during or after the public test, but again, none of the changes from the test server will carry over to the live game.
Finding Other Players
The devs have created a guild called <Beta Testing> that all players may join while on the test server. This will help you to find other people playing online and coordinate runs, arena trials, etc. And, typing in guild chat with /g will allow you to chat with other players who are online at the same time as you.
What's New on the Public Test Server
Love Crafting Event
The Love Crafting Event is active all throughout Arlor. Kill mobs and bosses for the chance to drop candy hearts, then craft the hearts into event tokens to earn special vanities and rewards at the token vendor! See the information panel at the top of your in-game screen for more details.
Love Potions
We’ve added a new feature to the Love Crafting event. The global goal! Consuming love potions will not only cause other players to fall head over heels for you, it also puts the community one step closer to reaching a mysterious end goal. What could it be?
New Vanities and Items
As we mentioned, there are a number of new items and vanities to obtain in the Love Crafting Event. Try them all! After all, the plat here is free.
Guild Message of the Day
One of your most requested features is included in this update. If you are a guild master, you will see a new button labeled "Set MOTD." Try it out and let us know what you think.
Behind the Scenes Game Optimization
Outside of the event, there have been other “behind the scenes” changes to help better optimize your game experience. Rarely, these changes can have unintended impact on other game features, so play around and let us know if anything looks or feels different or not as it should be.
We encourage you to put a focus on playing the new content, but make sure to play around and use the other game features to help us insure that there weren't any unexpected glitches as a result of our "behind-the-scenes" code changes
How to Submit Feedback and Report Bugs
We have created a sub-forum reserved specifically for Test Server feedback. That can be found here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/forumdisplay.php?162-Arcane-Legends-Public-Test-Server-Feedback.
This should be used for bug reports, feedback, suggestions, and discussing the test server with other players. The more feedback you give us, the more improvements we can make, so don't be shy! Let us hear what you have to say!
Customer Support
The Public Test Server is not a full service game server. Customer support is not available within this server. Please do not consider this a regular game play server. Test Server will have limited availability during specific public tests. There will be no restoration of characters, items, pets, etc. that could be lost for any reason. Please use the Test Server Forum (above) to communicate with the devs about any problems you experience.
That being said, the Spacetime ToS still apply. If you break the Terms of Service, there will be repercussions.
