Beta Available to All RO2/RS Owners

[The Beast (nl)]

Mmmm yesterday evening i wanted to play, i will look today after 9pm again

Okay, i was forgotten that when you want to play singleplayer you start a campaign.

Wanted to play too, around 9:20 pm, but there was no server online.

 

[Zetsumei]

The server was always online and still is only difference is a password. However i do think that something was shakey with the master server. Didn't see the server popup yesterday either, but looking today it simply shows it.

 

[TheStranger]

Hmm I supposed that, because I had no server list for Rising Storm either. There is already a thread about this annoying problem.

Upcoming tests & times
Sunday 3pm EDT, 8pm BST, 9pm CEST
Wednesday 3pm EDT, 8pm BST, 9pm CEST
Friday 3pm EDT 8pm BST, 9pm CEST

Great, so due to time zone difference, I never ever get to play the Beta....

I feel your pain

If you live in the netherlands it should timewise be pretty good, considering its at 9PM CEST, which is the dutch timezone.

Australia is a bit meh as its like 5 am, which i can understand. However remember that we need feedback about gameplay on a full server, which in general is a lot more difficult at australian time since the ideal time for that is about 5 am for us folk and 11 am for eu folk, which is where the majority of the players come from.

It is however possible to start a singleplayer game, or perhaps tryout skirmish and give some feedback about that.

Its not just a test to give people a sneak preview, we really want to monitor how things go and look into feedback from players, and for that we need some of our guys to be there as well.

Our (various) Asian Nations & Russian neighbours to the North may also feel 'that pain'. Here's hoping this region gets to contribute to this beta sometime soon.

So have spawn bunkers returned to Betio or did you just get rid of them? Also, any idea when this will be released from beta?

Hope I can come out and play with you guys sometime

 

[TheStranger]

That's what Zetsumei said about the spawnbunkers:

Spawnbunkers ended up not working too well gameplay wise. While they might return at some point once its figured out how to get them to work in an enjoyable way, don't expect them in the current update.

rising storm uk test server - rev sept 3 - password

rising storm uk test server - rev sept 3 - password

...on it too!?

Hi, early this morning (Australia) I checked in to try getting on to the beta servers. I was pleased to see two (instead of one). The new one is the UK server, and was populated with 5 players (RST tags). I could not join because of the password. I've checked the forums again and have found no password Is this by accident or design? A bit of a miss after downloading 10+gig

 

[Mormegil]

Perhaps the test times should be put on the original post.

 

[[TW]Ramm-Jaeger]

Today's beta test starts right now!!! (3PM EST)

 

[The Beast (nl)]

20:30hrs pm europe, no servers in ro2 and in steam to find.

 

[Zetsumei]

Server is open again

open 64.94.238.82:7787

 

[The Beast (nl)]

I am sorry but at 23:30hrs when i wanted to play no servers were found.

 

[Zetsumei]

For some people today the server didn't show up so people had to join by IP. However around that time you tried to join we were were about rounding up anyway.

 

[The Beast (nl)]

[No message]

 

[Zetsumei]

I'm sorry there isn't much I can do beside announce dates and times, if the server was open 24/7 we simply would have a server with like 3 people at a time. We need this test to see how the map reacts to 64 players, and tune it based on play results.


Next ones are wednesday and friday at 9pm cet. As the sunday ones so far had pretty bad attendence there wont be a test this sunday.

 

[Zetsumei]

Password has been removed again

 

[LordKhaine]

Really it's the MG spots that stand out as broken in the new map. So many ideal spots you can't deploy at, or have very limited arcs of fire. Very much limits the capability of the machine gunner when he's forced to use a pistol half the time.

Other than that, rather fun indeed.

 

[Zetsumei]

server is passworded again.

Currently filthy is working over cover it wont be in the friday version, but should be mostly good at the wednesday verison.

 

[Yoshiro]

As I mentioned in the beta forums, the classic mode changes will most likely make it into Friday's build.

There is also some work done on the prone system that will make players able to prone in more locations.

The level design team has been digging into the latest map stats across RO 2 and RS and is now working towards some changes (big and small) to address balance and gameplay issues (such as spawn camping).

If you would like to highlight a specific map gameplay issue please post it in the bug section of our forums in detail and I will make sure it is passed along.
