    We're pushing another version of our Directives system up to PTS today. There are still several cosmetic bugs, but the system should be mostly functional. This is a very large content system and has the potential to degrade performance. It's tough for us to properly evaluate the system internally and we need your help . If you can, jump on PTS over the next few days and help us by completing as many Directives as you can. Let us know of any issues you find. General feedback is always welcome too.

    Known bugs:
    • Directives of other empires show up but are empty
    • Previous tier directives are missing text and icons
    • Up x 6

    well. Its not that easy to test it sine there arent enemys for killing, dead allys for rez. etc. :/

    You could make this much easier by allowing us to complete directives based on VR dummy kills. Also, haven't been able to get on the test server all day but there was a 300 or so MB download when I first tried.

    It might be a bit rough trying to test most of these, considering the lack of people to shoot and just how long some of these would take. Especially on the test server.

    So @d_carey when will the new build be on the test server. I have stayed up to test this. Its getting near to midnight in the UK. Can't wait for directives

    It's going! There's a lot of data, so it's going to take a while.

    well....you could add in something that gives players kills everytime they do something? like every time you fire 1 bullet out of any gun, you get 1 kill for that gun?



    it might take a bit of code work, but it would speed up the testing alot

    I used to test a long time ago but thinking of starting again. The resource revamp is one really big thing I'm excited about. How do I signup for so I can get the rewards for my live character?

    Vanu needs to abduct live players onto test for the sake of science.

    Are the new Directives Auraxium Weapons play testable in VR?
  17. hawken is better

    Test server is up... but you can't use any of the Directive weapons :(

    Damn it.

    The new pistols finally have proper sounds, animations, and models, as well as some cool new helmets coming down the pipe (Crusader helmet is a neat one).
