PLAY BY PLAY

9:00am - AQWorlds Infinity Team online & ready to rumble!
10:00am - Final review discovered a few lingering combat bugs.
10:01am - We are going forward with today's test anyway. #WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong?
11:00am - Updated the game on Steam (v.0.0.183)
12:00pm - Preparing an excessive amount of coffee.
12:30pm - Major bug found w/ players who have newer AQWorlds items which breaks the game. Coding a HotFix before starting the test.
12:50pm - In the last test we put a .EXE up so that players who could not access Steam were still able to join. There will probably be a lot of game updates during the early parts of this test. If it is alright with you, we want to wait until this version of the game stabilizes before posting additional versions of the game.
1:08pm - Went to make the playtest live and was horrified to discover our Steam Page needs a bunch of mandatory new image sizes. Firing up Photoshop!
1:30pm - PLAY TEST #007 Officially Begins!
1:35pm - Bugs channel open on the Artix Games Discord Server.
1:40pm - A few different login errors being reported. Working on fixes ASAP. Please keep letting us know.
1:45pm - Lots of great bug reports coming in. Funniest so far is the /dance bug where once you dance... you NEVER stop. #KeepDancing
1:55pm - Zhoom is posting a fix for the login issues shortly.
2:00pm - Game servers restarted & version updated to version 0.0.186
2:05pm - Login now working! Players joining. Heading to Bludrut....
2:20pm - Server restart to fix the Bludrut Blade prize (It was accidentaly left staff-locked). Related... we need shop clear method.
2:50pm - Testing going well! Reminder, the game supports WASD movement & go to options and turn sound and music on. Jongaar did several new music tracks just for Bludrut.
3:15pm - This is a weird place to tell you that I wrote a Fantasy Twilly RPG discord bot and released it on the Artix Games Discord server the other day. It is still there if you want to try playing.
3:35pm - Login issue discovered - If you have the Mage Infinity Class (or any old Infinity class) you must unequip it in normal AQWorlds to log in. We will run a query to clean those up as soon as possible O_O.
3:58pm - XP/Gold Exploit patched w/ server restart. Thank you to Codejutsu for this awesome exploit find!
4:45pm - The boss fights and cutscenes are getting some well earned love-- kudos to Ghost, Reens, Spider, Immortal Joe, Nulgath, J6, Warlic, Zhoom, and the rest of the team for their hard work on this. It is our very first complete adventure in Infinity... a really big milestone for the game!
5:15pm - Note on Grimskull's Skullsword. It will be possible to get this item through the testing phase, but it will go rare in the future.
5:30pm - We uncovered a pretty significant bug with combat animations. That Mirror in the Groglurk fight can lock your skills if it skips a few frames of animation... which is unlikely given how we forgot to set a reasonable cap of players in that room.

5:45pm - Thank you to everyone helping us test today!!! While there are a lot of bugs, the server is stable. So we are going to leave it up for a few hours. Have fun!
- Please report Bludrut Keep bugs on the official discord. We are only testing Bludrut and general gameplay. So, if you see anyone reporting issues with older areas that probably broke (looking at you, Lair) please let them know not to post about non-Bludrut areas for now.
- Please let us know what you think of the cutscenes, bosses, and flow!
6:22pm - I filled out the age rating info on Steam. Hopefully this allows our friends in Germany to join the PlayTest on Steam. It said it can take an hour to update.
8:10pm - Fixed Grimskull Quest Turn in & rebooted the server. The server did seem a little wonky the past 20 mins.
9:15pm - Initiating Server Shutdown

Thank you all for helping with this important test!

We are going to fix bugs and bring Tech Demo 007 back online soon (early next week) for more testing. This was a big one. We have our first full adventure-- with cutscenes, quests, and unique boss fights. If you had trouble playing through the dungeon, looking forward to seeing you experience it when the servers come back online.

Battle on!
