Test Update 11/20/12

Any word why test is down or an eta on return?

It is back up. There was no information on why it was brought down, but it wasn't down for very long.

I think that human in the image is sporting a rather large goatee, so his neck is hidden even more.

Fellowship data on Test was failing to load, which has since been resolved. If you manually made a new fellowship and invited everyone from the old one then your exp would be gone. If you didn't, you should be registering back in the original fellowship. No exp wipe actually happened so if you did nothing you should have all of your exp still. If you lost your exp, we're sorry, but it is a hazard of playing on the Test server.

OK, so on the regular servers, people don't need to worry about logging in on the 28th and seeing fellowship experience gone. Correct?

That's the idea.

How about an update on Healer mercs casting crappy heals? Who cares about fellowship xp, it's not like it's hard to gain back. The mercs not working properly 96+ is a much bigger deal for me, and many others.

Is this their idea of "nerfing" healer mercs in RoF? Because if so, this is a ridiculous under-tuning. If this is a bug, why hasn't it been addressed yet? RoF is scheduled to release in 2 days and something pretty major isn't getting any attention, nor have we been given any information on it.

In beta mine seemed to work fine, i molo'd a bit mostly in my time there. Being a bard it takes me a long time to kill stuff and only died a couple times. That was at 96, higher than that i didn't try. Some more info also might be helpful, are they casting lower level heals, too many hot's or promised.. etc

They've been casting lower level heals. They can't even keep up with T3/4 VoA named as it stands right now.

Are the broken druid AAs that aren't affecting RoF spells going to be fixed before RoF goes live?
