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

    Hello, and happy Friday!

    QA build 1065 has been published.

    This build includes a fix for an agriculture issue that especially affected players with high network latency. Here is a link to the bug report: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...sowing-seed-watering-harvesting-issue.164800/

    Since implementing the fix, I have not been able to reproduce the issue. Please let me know if anyone is able to reproduce this issue on QA build 1065 or newer. Testing would help us ensure that any further issues regarding this bug are worked out before this change is patched to the Live client in Release 82.

    Note that this build also contains various other changes, but I am not prepared to announce testing directives for those changes at this time. Please stay tuned for further announcements, likely next week.

    Thank you, and happy testing! :)
