The Elysium Public Test Realm (PTR)

[Shenna 1135]

Dear players,

We have been looking forward to this moment for quite a while, and we are pleased to announce that the Elysium Public Test realm (PTR) has been released.

Be sure to test our content by checking it out! Some GM commands aren't allowed because we want an authentic experience while testing. This means that the number of commands you will be allowed to use will be restricted. The ".damage" and ".die" commands are not compatible with our raid scripts (Their usage in raids is disabled) . Unfortunatetly, the server will be highly unstable until the 5th of August, so we would like it if you would show patience and understanding until all issues are rectified.

If you encounter any issues with the PTR, feel free to contact the team via Support Ticket.

Thank you everyone for your bug reports! The Elysium core differs from our Valkyrie one and it has had some unintended side effects. We will work hard to eliminate bugs that have been reported before release.

 

If you experience any bugs then report them to us through our bug tracker.

Thank you everyone for testing out the PTR. We have taken it down and are going to fix all reported critical bugs. The new core we are using for Elysium had some regressions from our Valkyrie core and we hope to work them out before doing more testing. When the PTR comes back up we hope it will be near flawless. We expect the server to be back up for testing again between the 7th and 10th of August. If this date changes we will update you immediately.

Good job. I hope you do something with those meaningless numbers (HP/MP) by NPC..

[Hoof 4]

Is the PTR down right now? 

 

Nevermind, saw the post above  

 

Much love,

I don't see many posts in the tracker, are you sure you're covering a big amount of aspects of the game with the testing? Some of the reports was fixed years ago on the Valkyrie core... and it is pretty simple fixes as well. Makes it look like this realm is NOT ready for the public yet.

People are not even sure what the point of testing is. If a player can break some core algorithms with gm commands then why does s/he even have this option to use commands. Why don't you give all required gear, level and abilities the moment the character is created? I was in a testing group few times and everytime it was disbanded after people got confused with "How are we supposed to test?" or "It takes ages to kill the boss with only hp/mp modified". Increased hp eventually breaks and you need to use .revive and ruin "authentic experience" even more.

 

The only way to test professions is to .additem all the reagents and materials because how else are you going to level up your engi skill and test repair bot or maybe reflectors. You can't wear pvp gear cus your rank is to low and how one of game masters has noticed the relevant command for rank change doesn't work for mere testers.

 

My thought was okay, I shouldn't complain. Let me try to figure out how I can increase my rank and equip pvp set. So I used this spell to recieve 3kk++ honor points with the hope to recieve r8. Guess what?

 

 

Nothing changed one week after! Yes, maybe 3kk is too much and maybe I crossed all the bounds of rank distribution system but this is even more confusing for me now. If even this is not the case then how should I test pvp aspects of the game? Wait for game masters to walk around and ask them for help? Btw on the screenshot you also can see the broken vmap and the greater lava spider with unlimited mana. Not sure how it worked on retail, just saying.

 

I think there are many obvious gamebreaking bugs, like completely broken stealth for example, and I think that developers are pretty aware of situation. They had a big russian community and it seems that they already have plenty of reports to deal with. So there is no real point to report the same bugs you see on every single server. Open PTR is more like a demostration of available scripting. That's how average tester thinks imo

 

Don't you expect many responses after such a controversial testing process? I mean, this is adressed not really for you Yenza, I feel you

I agree with you in "Open PTR is more like a demostration of available scripting".

 

About the honor. Looks like you don't know how Classic PvP honor system works at all. You are not supposed to get your rank instantly.

And this is not a place to describe it for you. Read any public information source about it.

In short: you are not supposed to get any rank once you get some honor. You need to get 25 kills and there are should be at least 175 ppl with 25 kills to make r14 possible.

 

Those spiders do not have unlimited mana. They have no mana at all. You see interface bug.

[Kadir 136]

Yeah Xudojnik is right, you had exactly 24 kills which is 1 too little to enter standing. Also rank gained depends on quantity of ppl in the honor standing (more ppl means faster ranking up) and your current position among them, not the amount of honor. If others farm less honor, you also need to farm less honor to get your disired place in standing, if they farm more, you also need more.  If you plan serious testing, create yourself 100 x 60 lvl characters with 25 kills each and give one like 10k honor more. You'll see some results after honor update one week later.

Hey Valkyrie. yesterday I used Blink on my mage, but he kept his eyes open all the time

 

 

 

fix this

[That Druid 6]

Damm, one hk... Maybe you are right guys, my fault :^)

 

Those spiders have mana for sure, even according to database of this project. It's more like the fireball ability doesn't consume mana. I don't remember how it should work.

[earth 3]

I wonder if blink bug will be same on ely as on valky, blink above tunnel and end up in it, very cool when you carry a flag ;D

[Aymira 0]

is it even worth playing here? When as you say, after years of being live, the server still has game breaking bugs? I really dont wanna join another server with the usual (basically on every other realm) bugs..  

[Bdrzhbek 3]

Valkyrie is lived already 7 years and all the major bugs has been repaired a long time ago. Also, here we have an unique server core, so playing overhere will be as comfortable as possible. I've raised a tauren warrior at this server and i've never, i repeat - NEVER, seen the not working quests. Yep, server have a plenty of minor bugs, but all of them looks like "ZOMG, THIS DRAGON HAS ONE MORE ARMOR POINT THAN HE HAVE AT OFFICIAL VANILLA, WHAT THE F...", so there is no problems, that can spoil your gaming experience. You're welcome!

Nah, don't get me wrong. People talk about things they were asked about and that's why all you can see is the discussion of existing bugs, reports and PTR problems. If someone created a topic on what people like about this server I believe there would be many interesting answers. Ofc there are some bugs, but you do see many things here which don't or didn't work even on the most popular and "bug free" projects. For example the mana regeneration buff from inervate works in bear and cat forms on this server as it's supposed to be. It was broken on Nostalrius.

[Yenza 173]

You can't compare Valkyrie to Elysium. It is NOT the same core and apparently scripts are not the same so whatever you've seen on Valkyrie might not be working here.

And whats not working will work here
