I haven't been able to test-server since before odyssey, and would really like to know when the mirror will be made so I can stop checking this forum every day.

I'm not asking for the mirror, only the ETA of the mirror...

It's about that time...

Obligatory circle jerk post demanding access to the test server because bacon and can I bring my drake?

But seriously,

I know the test server is for ccp and blahblahblah, not player entitlement...


That's why all I want is an ETA.


If they don't know when exactly, maybe something like -- oh well the graphics department is working on feature XXX, that will need a new test server mirror for you guys to test it. That's projected to take about 3 weeks. So we'll say the mirror will be ready, conservatively, in about 6 months"...


Just openness and community feedback is all I'm asking for. The test server is all but neglected completely compared to back in the day. They used to speed up capital construction, post on these forums, have more than 2 devs that even show their face on the test server...

now... it's a very few, very overworked people spread between here and elsewhere.

Mirrors are fairly involved processes

New mirrors only happen when someone from CCP really needs one and there is a development/operational window in which to do one.

It may be that no one from CCP needs one bad enough, or there hasn't been a good time to do one.

Your need does not enter into that equation and your subscription doesn't include test environment access.


Another words, your shouting very hard for one doesn't get you one but might coincide with a planned notification of one so don't feel too good if one gets announced in the next few days.

So, feel free to continue wasting your time by checking/rage-posting every day.

Dear valued Player,

The test server is NOT for you to test your fits, ships, rages, complaints. It is for the testing of new patches and changes. While CCP does reimburse players with 2 million sp for attending mass tests and leave the server running daily to search for any new bugs . They really don't have to. They could just open it up for mass tests only . So we suggest you you wait until its done when its done. I recommend checking the first week of October.

Every single one of you are circlejerk anti-mirror posters who don't care what the post is actually about.

Learn to read.


This post is asking for a status update. A rough "idea" of WHEN the mirror is. It presupposes an understanding that the mirror is done for ccp's needs.

It is NOT asking for a mirror, for me to test fits, for any of the above circlejerk comments about player entitlement.


I'm the first one to poop on a post demanding a mirror for 'testing' fits, but this is very clearly asking for something completely different -- dev communication with players.


So please, unless you have some insight as to when the next mirror is, stfu, get out of the thread, or just keep bumping it to get CCP to see it. Doesn't matter to me.


CCP, please, let us know the timeframe of an expected mirror. Doesn't matter how accurate, just communicate any information from CCP's end, kindly.

Thanks,

Systems Online.

They said in one post somewhere that it'd be october or november, whenever they start adding winter stuff.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Ok, mirrors take place when we need them to. More specifically when we decide to change the server for a run up to a major deployment. You can probably look back at historical data, but no mirror will take place before we announce any plans that we may have for winter.

You're just going to have to wait until we actually announce a mirror, and we will only announce a time/date once we decide it.

You should copy that, put it in a note pad doc and paste it whenever someone asks for a mirror.

Wait - people get 2m Skillpoints for attending mass tests? Like 2m Unallocated Skillpoints on TQ that you can spend?
