What did you think?

Posted by Asfer

Soo,

Okay, so we have a bit of a problem. It's not related to templates but it's to do with you guys. You guys have not commented at all recently. Without your comments, I don't know if you like the content that is published here, if you like the interview with obah (Andrew). So, please comment it's not hard. Anyway, what did you think of the interview with obah, please comment below.

FGT Scan

Posted by Asfer

From now on I'm gonna call the pre-Winter CBT testing phases: FGT. Which stands for Focus Group Test. Now let the opinions spill...

1. There should 3 FGT testing phases, and these phases should focus on something specific.

  • FGT Phase 1 for Technical purposes, like stress tests.
  • FGT Phase 2 for things like graphical errors.
  • FGT Phase 3 for testing Artificial Intelligence, and things like Fall damage, or Newbie Guide.
And I think all testing phases should covered by a NDA.


2. There should be a special forum ( I think there will be one), or another domain, like: reportbugs.perfectworld.com.


What you should do:

  1. When playing the game do things repeatedly, this will help uncover bugs.
  2. Go explore new areas, jump around, do various emotes.
  3. Kill and attack many different enemies with different skills. If you think they are acting in a strange way report it.
  4. If you do find a bug report it, and do it neatly and respectfully. 
Bad Example:
Yo,

i finds b ung in that place with the weird monkeys/ the bug doesnt let me do stuff.

Why it's a bad example:
  • Poor grammar and spelling, it makes your bug report hard to read,
  • Not specific. The developers aren't mind-readers, they're not gonna know the place with the weird monkeys, and they're not gonna know the bug if you don't describe what the bug is.

Good Example:
Hello,

There is a bug in the north-western part of Jungle A, where the Monkeys reside. The monkeys have 'merged' with the trees, which makes them hard to kill. I've tried killing one of them and the game suddenly crashed, giving me no error.

Please fix this bug,
Random Tester A

Why it's a good example:
  • Good grammar and spelling, it is easy to understand.
  • It's specific, the reporter tells where the glitch is, what it is, and how the glitch affects the game/tester.

What you SHOULDN'T do:

  • When you've found a bug, don't tell
  • Do things you're not supposed to do like breach the NDA
  • Do nothing in the game, never play.
  • Never read the forums
 And remember always communicate.

Side note: The current template is temporary, changes will be occurring soon.

    We have a problem (again)

    Posted by Asfer

    There are numerous problems with this template, that involves HTML. I can barely understand HTML, so it's template change time... Again. I deeply apologize and I will NOT change the template again, this year if the next template is bugless.

    You may have noticed that we have a new look, again. This is more visually appealing than the other one (in my opinion). But all of my widgets have disappeared! I'm seeking help so it should be resolved soon.

    Mob Protection

    Posted by Asfer

    "Have you ever gotten that 'Explorer' bug, where you just want to explore? How many time have you wandered into a high level mob zone and died? In Forsaken World you can prevent high level mod death using survival skills!

    Stoneman escape skill: Skin of Stone
    If you have chosen to be a Stoneman, sometime during the game you will learn a skill. This skill allows you to become invincible for a few seconds helping you to escape from that bloody situation. As you level up the skill's effect lasts longer. This skills also prevents players from dying.

    Stoneman survival skill

    Assassin escape skill: Assassins Wind


    This skill allows for faster speed, and increased dodge rate.


    Bard escape skill: Divine Sounds
    Bards are true artists. When they're stuck in a bad situation, Bards can play a tune, which makes the mob asleep for tens of seconds. While the mob(s) are sleeping the Bard can make a quick escape.\

    Bard escape skills: Divine Comedy Sounds

    Dwarves escape skills: Fleet of Foot 
    When a Dwarf reaches a certain level he/she will learn a skill (tentatively) called Fleet of Foot. This skill increases the speed of running, and lasts for ten to twenty seconds allowing a hasty escape.

    Gorefiend escape skills: the winds of the bat
    You're battling many Forsaken creatures at once, your health is low no potions, you need to make an escape. How? By turning
    into a bat of course! When you're in "Bat Mode" your dodge points are increased and you can fly away! This is a must have skill for Vampires.
    Bat

     Priest escape skills: Light of the Gods
    If you're a Priest chances are your the least likely of anyone to die. When in a team, one make mistakes, this mistake may have dire consequences. The escape skill for a Priest allows the Priest to heal anyone within range, and heals half of the Priest's own health. 


    Mage escape skill: Ice Shield
    When a Mage needs to heal he/she, after a certain level, can use a spell which summons a barrier consisting of Ice. When in use, the caster is surrounded by protective ice and it also increases the rate of recovery.

    Mage escape skills: Ice Shield

    Warrior escape skill: Rapid Sprint

    Similar to Fleet of Foot, Warriors will learn a skill called Rapid Sprint. This increases the speed of movement. Which helps.. A LOT.


    In times of crisis these skill will help you immensely, and can get you out of almost any situation. "

    I will add a poll soon do ask you guys about the new layout.

    Exclusivity

    Posted by Asfer

    The thing I don't like about Perfect World Entertainment is they give another game a feature which another game was ONLY supposed to have. For example if the God System was implemented in, say, Jade Dynasty then Forsaken World will lose a few players. Why? Because the game is not as special as the other games anymore. Because that 'special' feature is now available to another game which makes it not special. So, PWE( for people on the forums it's PWE not PWI) please keep things that are included in FW exclusive to FW.

    Code Surgery!

    Posted by Asfer

    Since you guys wanted it, FWfans has a new look and feel and it comes with new features! Not much has changed except the website is more dark now, which I don't like but if YOU guys don't like it I would happily change it.

    The updated FWfans blog also has a new sharing button, when you click on an article scroll down and you will see 5 buttons. One for Gmail, one to share on Blogger, twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz.

    The funny, interesting and awesome buttons are back, I will add a negative one because the world is like that (I sound emo, lol). I am trying to fix the text color. If you see any errors like one thing not working please let me know by emailing me or leaving a comment below.

    And a quick welcome to uniscorn, a new follower!

    See you soon!
    Asfer.
