Hey guys, those who are willing i would like your help.


TC is being brought down and a copy of Bria is being pushed out with frogs so we can all get ranger and get some testing done.


I will be logging in right away and getting some camo kits made for various planets in factories and will be distributing these kits throughout today and the following days.


I need you to kill various level and con colour mobs repeatedly and record if your camo breaks, at what distance and against what creatures/npcs. The following post (the one below this) will be continually updated with focus test info that i would like to be done if you are willing. Feel free to suggest other tests but at present i plan on doing a few phases:


Phase 1: Current Phase

Kashyyyk Camo Kits: Testing how the quests work and everything is in order

Camo Kit Crafting: Testing camo kit crafting processes and if anything has changed/bugged


Phase 2:

Master Ranger level camo testing: Running around gathering data as a Master Ranger


Phase 3:

Wayfaring 1and3to test camo mods and gather data at these levels


Phase 4:

Non-Ranger testing: Using kits as none rangers and applying kits to none rangers


The sort of feedback i need are hard numbers/feedback. I need you to gather as much data as possible and try to use this template for displaying data:

Once the initial phase 1 testing is done i would like you to gather data in this format if you can:


Im going to set things out as encounters, you should provide some personal data first and then for each encounter (mob, lair, group) you come across fill in theencounter data.Approachan agressive pack or lair and record this data:






Phase 2: Testing Template Example:


PERSONAL DATA: (only need to do this once if your template does not change between encounters)

Player Name: Not hard to guess what this means eh?

Planet: Tat/Naboo/Dath etc

Personal Combat Level: 1-80 obviously

Skill Loadout: X,X,X,X detailing your template


ENCOUNTER DATA: (One of these lists for each encounter you come across)

Type of Target: Creature/NPC

Target lvl Range: 1-80 (ALSO detail the con colour)

Number of Targets: X number of targets (if you can get each mob levels)

Did Camo Break: Yes/No






Remember to keep track of the post following this as it will detail what phase we are in and what test data we need at this time.


Good testing guys and be sure to add these player names to your friends list using the /addfriend X command:


WHO IS TESTING: Send me a PM or post here to be added to the list

Here is a blank template for you to copy/past if you dont want to write the headings out:



PERSONAL DATA:

Player Name:

Planet:

Personal Combat Level:

Skill Loadout:


ENCOUNTER DATA:

Type of Target:

Target lvl Range:

Number of Targets:

Did Camo Break:

Shouldn't we keep in mind the fact that a grey con will have no aggro towards you when we determine the effectiveness of camo kits?


Also, what if camo skill mods actually affected the quality, or gave an experimentation increase with the skill tapes? Even though the interface doesn't show it, we also didn't know of the 13 points to experiment with until we crafta kit and see.

Yes, gather your data on a variety of targets but focus most testing around the blue, white, yellow and even some red con targets.


Crafting is phase one so these are questions that need answering.

OK, RIN is nested a bit and took some work to get into... here's what you do:



  1. Add a new Chat tab and click modify tab.

  2. Click Join Channels and then go to TestCenter > Chat > RIN

  3. Once you've joined that channel just click it into the Tab's recieving window by clicking the arrow on the Chat Tab Management window.

That's just a heads up for anyone curious where to meet up. Dead and I are there presently so come on by and say hello.

For those that want to play around here is a small list of things that drop the resources you need for the Camo Kit


Carnivore Meat - Sathog


Leathery Hide - Pug Jumper, Jykle Vulture


Animal Bones - Kkryytch, Bolotaur, Ro-Roo, Sathog, Pug Jumper



Those were just a few I found running around, not to include what you can find on the trail. Hope this helps some =)

That's pretty excellent. You can get all of those in the newb area off creatures that are below CL30 (prolly below CL20 iirc).

Now we just need to find out how well it works

I just got into the instance tonight when I CTD'd just as I started shooting at the skullcrushers. Guess I'll find out tomorrow how well my lad's survived.

I'll be grabbing resources off the frogs tomorrow, passing schems to an alt and starting a factory run on each cammo. Once they're cooked I'll stick some on a vendor in my place near Espa (nice quiet frogtown, not too many duelling jedi....)
