open playtest today 3pm est


DETAILS

Revamped Early Progress
You will now choose your class on character creation, and start developing that class with a few choices already on the Solitary Isles. This will help give players a small idea of how classes will progress.

Training Grounds
The Training Grounds will still be open and can be accessed through the bottom right matchmaking option. Here you can test any of the classes in what would be considered a midgame'ish build and gear. (Enchanter is now added to that pool).

Jewelcrafting
In addition to all previous professions, jewelcrafting is now also part of the game and can be used to make rings (and later on necklaces).

Dungeon Matchmaking
Players will be able to queue in the Shrine of Melrenor. The first last-boss kill will be awarded a unique in-game painting of the boss that players will be able to display in their personal and guild properties as proof of the deed.

Construction Island
Players will be able to access the construction island through matchmaking as well.
HOWEVER: Since this is a personal INSTANCED island, it does not persist between restarts/crashes. Since all construction at launch is non-instanced, we don't want to take the time to develop a system for this, so it'll be like this for the playtest. It's mostly just to show to people how construction will work and give an idea

That about covers it! There will NOT be any Arenas for this playtest since we have a coordinated scaling group for PvP and are working to balance out player vitals. Additionally, the playtest is so short that we'd rather have people focus on the points above so we can ensure we can gather all the data we need!
