When is the Beta test happening?

The Beta will run from today, April 18th, until Tuesday, April 29th ~5PM CET, during which you can log in anytime. 

What will be included in the Beta test?

Simply put, the more time you spend on the test servers and the more actions you perform, the better. It is very important to include in your reports screenshots or videos if necessary and more steps on how you reached that bug or glitch.

All EG bosses will respawn at 10 minutes. 

How to test Crom's Hellborne Manikin?

• Gather about 25-30 people and challenge the new boss in the arena on the northern edge of the Valley of the Ancients
• Fight the boss and make note of his mechanics. There are 3 major ones: arena projectiles, pustule buffs, and nuke mechanic.
• Fight and kill him - his respawn time is currently 15 minutes for the Beta 

Unfinished things:

• Not all VFX are in the beta
• Animations may not be playing correctly
• Arena will receive further polish

Known Issues:

• The cave near the boss arena's Leystone is inaccessible at the moment and will cause you to get teleported to the closest Leystone.
• Boss animations are sometimes interrupted/do not play in the correct sequence.

What feedback we’re looking for?

• How's his damage?
• How's his toughness?
• How's the pustules' toughness?
• Are the prompt texts in the chat log (like 'X is doing something' etc) too much or appearing too often? 
• Are there any text errors you see?
• Are the mechanics readable/understandable with some trial and error?
• Did you or the boss get stuck navigating the arena at any point?
• Aside from him going still during the nuke mechanic, are there any instances of him freezing up or failing to engage in the fight?
• General impression based on experience and vibe?

How to sign up?

If you own an Android device, you'll have a button at the bottom of the Google Play Store page that will allow you to join the BETA program, after that, you will be able to download the new client. The server will have a snapshot of the live server, so you will be able to log in with your account and play with your usual characters.

IMPORTANT

• The server will have a version (snapshot) of the live server from April 15th, so you will be able to log in with your normal account credentials and play with your usual characters.

• What does this all mean? Well, that gives you the peace of mind that the tests won’t affect your live accounts as it will be just a COPY of the live database into the development environment.

• Please check if your account is linked to either Facebook, Game Center etc. If it’s not, please link it, otherwise, once you re-install the game, you may lose your progress!
