It's not a clone of main server for PT 0.8.8. Just everything you've earned on the previous PT (0.8.7) you are keeping for next iterations. We intend to keep that policy.

Clan battles on PT are literally a 1 vs 1 one mode right now. I can't talk for everyone, but for me, checking duel mode just for fun is stimultiong enough.

Just in case, what sound setting do you use, high or ultra?

Forum Streamline Icon: https://streamlinehq.com

The idea was to improve sound, of course.
But we can already see from feedbacl that sound changes on PT have a lot of problems and we, will, of course, work on that.

PTS server has no region. It's a worldwide server. And I don't think that we are going to increase reward and definitely we are not going to allow players to carry PTS earnings :)
Of course we can make it populated via big rewards etc but then it will be useless since such players won't be reporting bugs or leave feedback because they came just for grinding and rewards.

If we speak about the data side of PTS... It should be almost the same amount of players as on live server playing for pretty long to generate data based on which we can immediately say how it will be working on live server. So even if we do mega-big rewards and PTS will have more than enough players, guess what then? The live servers will be unpopulated :) Plus I'm sure those players will never leave feedback and the feedback has nothing to do with data generated by players, kinda different things.
And I said that:

So it may happen, but I don't think so for the reasons I said above.
From now on let's discuss the feedback, shall we? For the rewards etc. you are free to create a separate topic in discussion section.

And that what I call a constructive proposition :)

We have testers who actually receiving their salary for testings :)
But I think you understand that we can't hire thousands of people to test the game.

So regarding AI aka bots. Sometimes it's no use to use AI for testing just because they are not acting like humans in certain situations.
And regarding previous questions about PTS population. We tried to boost it via better rewards during Summer Season testing and maybe try it once more.

Why not create one all for yourself. For me it took one minute to setup.

Thank you all. And we get stuff about sound. And hey - you don't need to tag any dev's specifically in feedback thrreads, since those threeads are thorougly read anyway.

How many T10's did you have on PT? Have you reset anything in 0.8.7 PT?

Clan Brawl on PT needs only one player.
And some people already are asking to put this mode into the main game, since it's just duels.

Can be a problem with changing criteria during that test, but needs more looking into. Can you acces Bureau in the main game?
