1. We have a dedicated Player Test Environment on our QA server available for player use. This server will be kept open with periodic database resets, when we will copy the database from the live server. The server database will be updated at least twice a month during a scheduled maintenance window.

    Though players are welcome to use the QA server to experiment or test anything they wish, we will post patch notes and testing directives in this area. Players testing new content, features and systems will greatly help in reducing post release bugs and making the game better.

    To assist players in helping us make the game better, the Test Server will award login bonuses in CotOs and Gold coins to allow players to purchase resources or anything they may need to test from the Crown Store and/or from the in game vendors. In Addition, the Developers will announce dates/times when Dev Assisted Player Test Events will occur on the QA Server.

    Please use the Test Environment Bug and Feedback forums for QA Server activities only.

    You can help test by downloading a new SotA Launcher(QA) installer to download a separate QA copy of the game. It exists independently from the regular live version of the game and installs to a separate folder. To use the Player Test Environment, please download the QA Server client here:

    Windows: https://d2sx9mrt4zumaq.cloudfront.net/Installers/SotAInstaller(QA)-1.2.0.exe

    Mac: https://d2sx9mrt4zumaq.cloudfront.net/Installers/Shroud of the Avatar - Installer(QA) 1.1.0.pkg

    Linux Package: https://d2sx9mrt4zumaq.cloudfront.net/Installers/shroud-of-the-avatar-launcher-qa_1.1.0_amd64.deb

    Are you a budding assassin? In the Thieves guild, but aren't allowed to take any bounties because you are so inept? The maybe you need the Sneak Scene!

    Across New Britannia there are secret places someone can go to where they can work on their abilities and get rewarded for it as well. One of these places is in Kingsport.

    Start at the Inn, the Innkeeper may have information that will help you in this endeavor ;)

    Come test the Sneak Scene on QA now, build 1605!

    Some more details:


    1. Go to one of the people listed below and say "key" to them.
      Blood Bay - Waitress Amabel at the tavern in Judge's Watch
      Kingsport - Innkeeper Abbot at the Hearth of New Britannia
      Broochash - Innkeeper Albreda at the inn.
      Celestis - Innkeeper Linh at the inn.
      Goti - Innkeeper Marith at the inn.
      Etceter - Bartender Christina at a tavern.
      Fortus End - Kathlin at the inn.

    2. After you get a Sneak Scene key, walk around the building until you find a basement. Use the hatch to teleport into Sneak Scene.

    3. Inside Sneak Scene, chat with the Overseer and then use the key to unlock the warehouses. Once you enter the first warehouse, the timer will start. Good luck!

    4. If you want a replacement key, you can go to the same keygivers, but you can't get more than one key each hour.
