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

    Linux tar.gz:https://d2sx9mrt4zumaq.cloudfront.net/Installers/shroud-of-the-avatar-launcher-qa_1.1.0.tar.gz

    Greetings!

    I am putting together a group to test ongoing issues with Deco Placement causing the player's clients to stop responding as expected (Forcing a complete restart of the Standalone Client or if using Steam then a complete restart of the game and Steam).

    Testing in the Player Test Environment on the QA Server is open to all. @Xolavar will be on the server handing out property deeds so that players can come and place a house and use the testing procedure posted here.
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uUlGzNWt8W1HrBuB-n7voegYYFwvL_tkLjUJggjcWrs/edit?usp=sharing

    Results of testing should be posted on this forum thread:
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...nt-on-qa-to-test-deco-movement-issues.162267/
    (please no commentary in this thread, you post will be deleted.)

    NOTE: players can test on QA at any time. Additional resources are only available during scheduled events such as this.

    We will be meeting in Falling Waters Fortress for testing at 8pm CT tonight (Friday) and again at 8pm tomorrow. If you cannot find us, please friend @Xolavar in game and ask for a summon.

    The event is expected to last about 2 hours tonight and about the same tomorrow.

    I will be handing out Founder Castle lot deeds (these deeds can be applied to ANY lot size or type in the game on QA). Cotos and gold are automatically granted on login, so purchasing houses, and store items are already taken care of. [ if you run short of CotOs during the event, please come see Xolavar on the server ]

    Please come out and help make the game better!
