Thread: GRA Open Beta Recruitment We Need Your Help!!

As most of you already know, the CU/R/B is going straight to open Beta. That being the case I've discussed with the the GRA members and have gotten a general agreement. The CU/R/B is going to require a large amount of testing.


So we've modified our original plan. When I chose the Alpha members, I had a general plan set up and had specific areas of responsibility already chose. Because we were limited to five members, I had five areas.


What we are going to do now is ask for help in testing those five areas. The Alpha testers will not be assigned as being 'in charge' of those areas. What we want to do is ask for recruits to assist. Every volunteer will be assigned to one of the five areas. Some areas will require more testers than others.


Each recruit will also be given an email addy for their team leader to report their findings, concerns, etc.


They in turn will report to me or the new Corr. I believe that this will be the most effective use of the Alpha team members and all those that have expressed an interest in testing.


The Devs will have focused testing, but we will also have our own tests conducted. Both for balance issues and for bug hunting.


I'm waiting for one more email before I release the name of the Alpha testers. However I will tell you the five categories.



  • PvE (Roscannon)- Concentrates on MOB combat aspects

  • PvP (KardenTyrell)- Concentrates on PvP combat aspects

  • Weapons/Armor (Ciirybeccaskyr)- Concentrates on the new armor/weapons stats and availability

  • Templates/Stacking/Progression (Ackehece)- Concentrates on how Rifles works with other professions and if the progression thru Novice Marksman to Master Rifles is logical and ease/difficulty to do so

  • Specials/Bugs (lammergeier)- Do the specials work as intended and are they in appropriate locations within the Rifle profession. Also looks for new and old bugs.

As you can see. There is some cross over. Specials could be part of the Progress field. And of course PvP and PvE will be effected by the Templates/Stacking, But I seperated it out to allow for a more focused testing ofeach specifically. Same reason I've seperated out PvP and PvE.


The two largest areas that will need testing are PvE and the Template/Stacking. PvE because it accounts for the vast majority of combat. Template because of the sheer number of possible combinations.


PvP and Specials/Bugs will have the next largest testers. While Weapons/Armor will have the fewest.


If you are interested please post here. Include the top three areas you are most interested and able to test. List them in order from most interest down to your third choice. Also list any relevant experience (ie your a Master WS/AS on your server or have been on TC hunting bugs for over a year now). Just because you are assigned to a specific team doesn't mean that is the only thing you can test.It will just be your primary focus and you may be asked to conduct specific tests related to that field.


One thing. This will require you to furnish an email so we can contact you. DO NOT list your email here. We will send you a PM to tell you which team you have been assigned and send you a contact email of your team leader. I know many people don't like to give out their email addy. I suggest you set up a dummy account just for CU/R/B communication.


So all those who have the time and inclination to help out please let us know. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.


For those that don't have the time or inclination but still plan on playing around on TC. If you find issues let us know. You can post on these boards and I will likely create a thread specifically for CU/R/B issues. When anyone finds issues be as specific as possible in case we have to duplicate it. And please note if it's a balance issue, bug, or feature request. Those will be the three general categories unless I can think of any others we will need.


Here are general definitions of those categories.



  • Balance - Something that is severely over/underpowered in relation to the game or where it falls within a profession (ie One Shot Kills would be a balance issue)

  • Bug - Something that doesn't work as it is suppose to (ie FS Ranged Mods not working)

  • Feature - Request for something new to be added (ie Rifles getting a KD attack)

That's it for now.


PS - This thread is ONLY for applications. Not debates, discussions, questions, etc. I'll ask the mods to remove any such posts. Reason being that I suspect we'll have a large number of applicants. And we'll need to keep the thread clean so we can go thru them and assign them to a team in a timely manner. We found out that the CU/R/B was going straight to open Beta on TC the same time you did. So we didn't have much time to organize for this change. So time is a critical factor. If you want to ask questions, debate, discuss, etc, please start another thread.


Assignments - Once assigned please contact your team leader with an email address they can contact you with. Please set up a dummy account as it is likely that your email address will be given to the other testers in your team so that you can communicate amongst yourselves also.

1. PvE - Concentrates on MOB combat aspects


2. PvP - Concentrates on PvP combat aspects


3. Weapons/Armor - Concentrates on the new armor/weapons stats and availability



I have played since August after launch. I have been a rifleman the entire time. I have communicated well on these boards and enjoy loking for problems and ways to make the transition better. I am excited, unlike most about the changes as I have grown tired of the current system.


I have also been, marksman, pistols, carbineer, CM, etc etc etc. I PVE and love to PVP I do both regularly and my only enjoyment in this game is combat. Need I say more?

I'd like to volunteer my time towards the following areas of testing. I have been playing since the day before yesterday, but that is 24 hours each day! Just kidding! I've been playing for around 6 months now and I'm looking foward to the new changes comming down the pike.


* PvE - Concentrates on MOB combat aspects
* Weapons/Armor - Concentrates on the new armor/weapons stats and availability
* Specials/Bugs - Do the specials work as intended and are they in appropriate locations within the Rifle profession. Also looks for new and old bugs.



Dev's: Can we get the SEA mods that do not work replaced with mods that do? Also, while you're at it, make sure to update the loot table by deleting mods for SEA's that are no longer applicable. Thanks.

I would also like to help out, I'm tired of the old system and like what I have seen so far in this new combat system.

I have played as doctor/carbineer, ranger/rifleman and is now a smuggler/rifleman. I have been playing on and off since the launch and this is my third account.


I'm most interested in:

1. PvE (I do this most of my time)

2. Specials/Bugs

3. Anything you need me to do I'll do.

Hey there.


I would really like to apply to help alpha test the rifleman profession.


I've been a Rifleman in some shape or form for over a year now in both PvP and PvE. I understand rifleman fully in all of it's previous characteristics, concealment, heavy armor piercing, range modifiers, accuracy while moving and many others. I'm very aware of the current balance issue with rifleman where it deals more damage than any other profession in PvE because of the heavy armor piercing.


I'm very interested to see the direction it will be going especially in PvP.


I'm also very interested to see it's relationship with other professions especially combat medic which I believe it has become synonymous with.


Therefore I would like to volunteer to be part of;

1. The PvP testing team

2. The templates/stacking testing team


However my abilities and knowledge of the rifleman profession over the past year would make me suitable to test whatever section I'm most needed in.

Nice idea

I very very rarely post here, but this is important.

Ive been a rifleman on farstar since Nov 2003 (along with CH for the same amount of time), i have never dropped any rifle skills(never succumbed to holo madness) , and think I know the profession reasonably well.

I also have 6 toons on TC , including a master rifleman, although I dropped that recently to go pistoleer ( I know, the heresy).

One of my live guildies was recently made TK correspondant, so as a group we will be more or less playing full time on test center for this beta, for which I will be concentrating on rifles for the combat side of things.

No preferences as to what I do, although to help Mankind I will be involved in group dynamic testing I should think (tanks/damage dealer relationships etc) .

If any group need help, just add me in, Im based in the UK so my online time may be different to others, but I will be there as much as possible.

I'm not playing a Rifleman now in live, but plan on giving the profession a try after the CURB, so if you don't mind someone coming in fresh without preconceptions about the profession, I'd like to volunteer to help with PvE and/or Weapons/Armour.
