Destructive, not destructible.
The goal of destructive map testing is to find problem areas on the map. Things like places where you can fall out of world, see-through walls, shoot-through walls, invisible walls, getting stuck on rocks, etc...

new Mech Factory map

Will it have working Repair Bays?

[Nemesis Duck]

Destructable map objects - you mean I can blow chucks of concrete out of buildings now? Step on cars? I'm so excited, nothing can make me QQ now. J/K

Thanks for listening to our suggestions, it's evident you have been.

[Bigbacon]

sucks you have to have two copies of the game. wonder if the download will finish in time if i start now.

[Domoneky]

Ok so we have a new map. I'm waiting for the inevitable "QQ'ing over lack of CW" comments to pop up. Will the ForumWarriors surprise me at all?! I seriously doubt it.

[CycKath]

New MAP!

[Khavi Vetali]

Love the 24 hour test, MC/CB/XP infusion--Thanks for listening!

Is this normal registration or is there a link?

Nope! I can see how that is confusing but all it means you have to of had an account before the 20th of August at 4:30PST. I'm guessing it's because they will be making a copy of everyone's live accounts for the test at this time. It's been this way for every public test as far as I know, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[SilentWolff]

New stuff looks good and I'll be happy to test it.

On a side note however, please get the Mechlab finished. This should of been done already.

Thanks It did seem a bit confusing.

Ok another stupid question. I have the client already will I have to redownload the client agian or do I just update like normal but with the test client?

You'll need to download the Test Client itself... (linked above and in the announcement on the main page)... As long as you have the test client you're good to go... just make SURE to install to a seperate directory other than your main live version...

I've had the same Test Client installed since they started doing public tests... and just like the live version, starting it up it will show if a patch to update it is available or not...

Hope that wasn't TOO confusing... it's late and has been a LONG day at work...

EDIT - dang these old fingers... Ninja'd by Niko... LOL

Step in the right direction. more and more feedback. The more we are in the know of what is going on and what you are working on and its estimated % of completion the more positive feedback and purchased MC you will get. At least from me anyways.

[Ratu]

Exciting stuff, I'll be interested to see what the new map is like. The DSA will be there in force doing our best to break it for you

[Drake67]

Thanks Niko

well, this test also includes CWp1 - in fact, that's the first mentioned test focus. So... Yeah, CW is happening in this test, making "no CW" QQ kinda weird.

It'll probably happen anyways, though, because stupid.

[lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol]

Thank you for allowing your player base to use the test servers! I know there is always some sort of overhead cost, and hopefully the new servers will pay off and help in the long run!
