[February 26th] Faction Warfare Playtest Challenge – Rewards Inside!

by Posted on
Hi everyone,

Have we got a surprise in store for you!

First things first: join our upcoming Faction Warfare Playtest, which we’re hosting as part of our update preparations and to gather feedback on the Faction Warfare rework (check out our latest Dev Talk on this feature here).

HOW TO PARTICIPATE?

  • Choose whether you would like to fight for Martlock or Bridgewatch faction by heading over to the respective Faction Warmaster and enlisting in that faction (note: your character(s) from the Live Server will be available on the Staging Server, so you are able to use the skills and items you have. There will not be cheat stones to unlock the Destiny Board or create free items)
  • Open up the World Map and select Faction Warfare in the dropdown menu
  • See where the action is taking place and join in or try to capture the outposts! (note: any Faction Warfare zone is open to play, but please only flag as either Martlock or Bridgewatch)
  • If you need to repair your gear, there is a repair station at each outpost
  • Continue this process for 2 hours until the playtest ends at 20:30 UTC

Please make sure to update your Staging client in advance, so you can jump right in at the start of the playtest.

After the playtest, we will hand out a feedback form to those who participated via the in-game chat, so that we can gather your thoughts on how this feature played out for you.

FAQ

What is the Test Server?
The Test Server is there to primarily test new content. That also means that the available version can be unstable.


How can I access the Test Server?
The Staging Server can be accessed via the launcher. Once you launch the game, navigate to Server selection and choose “Test Server (Staging)” in the drop-down menu.

To access the Test Server from your android device, download the .apk here
