Was wondering if there's an ETA for the update on the test server?

there is not, unfortunately, ETA is always "as soon as it is possibly available". as indicated in the couple of previous posts, there were some changes that require extra work

you can watch the resource to get notified when it is available

MacroQuest for Test server

here was a msg from brainiac in the mq-development discord about why it is taking longer than usual.

when dbg makes more than just "updates", sometimes there are large reworks that have to take place.

fortunately brain is pretty damn good at what he does

Thanks, I appreciate the update. Love the work that you guys do.
 
yeah looks like they're almost done, was able to patch. the RG crew will have this one in hand in no time.

cheers and thanks for all you do RG crew
 
Just a heads up, test is bugging out right now.. So its likely to go down again for re-patching or something.. Right now if you log in, its fine, but if you log out and back in, you get a whack load of ach reward windows, like achievements have been reset and re-granted on that toon.. Its very odd...
 
You guys are awesome. Thank you for what you do. I wish I was in a place to hit the tip jar with what you guys are really worth. But at this time... times are hard. Good luck and I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
 
Just curious if this is being looked at, was hoping to get some EQ in later tonight.
 
Im sure Brainiac, Dannuc and Knightly are on it. They get it out as quickly as RL will allow. If you want to show your appreciation, there are tip threads for Brain and Dann stickied on the main forums. (Knightly accepts armor polish jk jk)

the test build will be updated when the MQ devs update it. doesnt take them too long to do most of the time and i havent seen anything that would make this update take longer than normal :)

as you can see from the previous above messages, the test update (eq side) has had a few failures - so waiting for stability before doing the work for mq is probably a good idea
 
Assuming, of course, EQ devs will actually care and make changes. They didn't change for the Collection bug and stayed active until the true-up patch.

This is much worse though.. this is game breaking.. you can't even log in without getting lagged out with your re-rewarding of achs.. and then when you log out and back, it RE-re-resets..

and not a single acknowledgement of the issue by DBG on either forums or in their discord channels..

Yea, the bug report threads have been locked since before the patch. It really appears they don't care or are too incompetent to address the issue. The mind-boggling part though? This was supposed to be a true-up patch to what was live. Isn't this a "copy/paste" job? How do you screw that up?

Looks like its rebooted.. going to test it again now.. ..

edit: disregard that.. it went UP ..... Annnnnndd DOWN
 
Ok looks like they repatched and things seem back to normal.. however.. warning to those who log in.. if you logged in at least once after yesterday's patch, you'll have all your AA's reset and will have to spend damn near 30min if you have a semi completed toon, re-claiming your rewards and spending AA's.. and deleting lore items for the now duplicate ones..

At least its not doing it over and over every time you camp out now.. just the FIRST time you log in...

Yeesh... $15/ hr programmer rate, i guess im not surprised

Edit: IF you were one of the lucky ones and held off , didnt log in , your toon will be intact and not have to deal with this nonsense.... I logged my main in, got tied down with it, but alot of my boxes that I never logged in, were all spared..

A blessing in disguise of being spoiled enough that I refuse to even log in these days without a working copy of MQ. Says something about the state of the game and the tools they stubbornly refuse to provide, but that's for another thread.
 
their mess up is an easy reward, that bug allowed a player to raise heroic aa as well as farm aa if you had enough previous prog etc done ... i was able to max out aa on 24 toons before they "repaired" lol. gotta love the test server. all i had to do today after they had their "fix" was delete a couple of lore items and reclaim old rewards. I'm not really sure why people were so bent outta shape ... it was a gift horse

Oh yeah! I loved getting those heroic stats to 86/95 and getting the extra 860 attack! This year has brought some of the craziest bugs to the test server. First the awesome collections EXP bug and now the AA bug :)

I think they (finally) fixed whatever the issue was from their true-up patch the other day.. I've had a chance to log a few different toons/accounts in, and things seem stable.. Thus far, only the toons that were logged in while the server was being janky were affected with the bug.. and now that they stabilized, even they are not experiencing it any further..

Things are always interesting on test!
 
mq has updated test - but rg has a build error. we're working on getting it fixed and will have it build asap

lol yep..

Expect 3rd ears and hair growing where it...oh wait.. thats just puberty.. nothing to see here! Please disperse!
 
Did the build process of test server break again? :siren: Got all excited when I saw the changes pushed in the git spam on discord. Then depressed when I saw no build yet lol. Thanks for everything yall do. I know it must not be easy trying to keep up with the test servers patch schedule as is. And probably gets annoying at points too. Like it annoys me sometimes and I play on it regularly lol.
 
Looks like it was probably another build failure. 8(
