We have updated our Sakray server for 13.3 El Dicastes update testing! This new update has 3 Large Story Arc quests, new Scaraba Dungeon (lvls 130+) new 3rd class specific equipment and a new Slot Enchanting System. We also have the new party system ready for testing too!

No skill changes should have occured with this update, so if something is different than it is on the live servers please report it on the forums as a potential bug as it may be caused by the new party system update.
The localization for the dialogue may still be a bit rough, but we want to start getting mechanic testing done with our community ASAP. Please report any bad dialogue, unreadable code or awkward language in the forum as well.

You will need a new Sakray Client to test on Sakray. All accounts are eligible to login to Sakray. There will be NPCs in the Eden Group for setting up your characters levels, and sending you to the quest areas for testing. Some unnecessary content is disabled so we can facilitate a cleaner testing session for 13.3.

Please download the new Sakray Client: install it in a different location than your normal RO installation, to avoid patching and playing problems later.


We have also opened a new forum section to discuss the update: http://forums.warppo...castes-testing/

Yay finally new stuff to try out and have parties on.

[Pril]

Open to everyone or VIP only?

[Oda]

Sakray and the events should be open to everyone.

[iNightX]

how do you play sakray?

[GuardianTK]

I love your jokes, Oda. xD You should work for the CIA of the RO GM's or something. =x

[iCandy]

EXP Rates pls? can we bump it to 100 or 1000 would be better... I dont want to grind countless hours just for the sake of testing...

[Wizard]

Prolly like the time we test renewal... there will be a Valkyrie who give you 150/50 =)

Can't wait to test Comet/TV books... along with the buff from Chain Lightning and Safety Wall new effect =)

[Inubashiri]

We'd be listening to what you guys are seeing and thinking with our most advanced digital eavesdropping software, but having you post in the forum is less ethically troubling.

This sounds oddly like a book I read once, I think it was 1984

[DrAzzy]

Nice - can't wait to see what made it into this patch.

Isn't this only testing Episode 13.3? I don't think the kRO balance patches are ready yet, therefore we won't be able to test them on Sakray during this Episode 13.3 testing phase.

I believe heim said that new changes are coming with this new patch... hopefully it is =)

Let me know if SW's hp threshold overspill damage problem has been fixed then.

[HRdevil]

how do you play sakray?

^? ?????

[Ralis]

YAY. Hopefully we'll get 13.3 before the upgrader thing poofs! I WANT AN IMPERIAL SPEAR.

[Resplendent]

This is the newest Sakray client. No telling if there will be an updated version released today though.

Hopefully it is fixed already =)

Hullo all! Tonight our plan is to get 13.3 patch data added to Sakray, and get testing underway and done by around July 5-7 with a live launch before mid-July. We've got a tonne of work to do with website updates, tweaking dialogue and making sure that it won't explode and need your help. We'll be getting bug reporting and feedback threads going when the patch launches and getting NPCs put in that will smooth the process of getting characters on the test server going on the quests.

Again? Really? You guys are doing this AGAIN? Last time you opened sakray to test 13.2 things most bugs weren't catched before they hitted mains because EVERYONE was leveling on the turn in events instead...

Shud've posted a changelog !

[Heimdallr]

We are also going to be testing the following party system update.

Basically the new party system stays very close to 3/way split in exp even when in a 12 person party. This is a huge improvement because any sort of "lesser" rewards are very much smoothed out with this new system.
Also the "tap" bonus makes a return with this new party system, for every person hitting or hit by a monster adds ~ 5%. I hope to test the tap bonus more on Sakray where we can get dozens of characters to help us test it rather than the few on our internal servers.

[iCandy]

also to add, can we have a Reset NPC for this server that we can use unlimited?

x10,000 EXP Rate + Unlimited Resets please!

[Wiggles]

how do you play sakray?

Good job at dodging every single question in this thread Heim, and posting a useless chart that is VERY hard to read.

Don't complain noone tests this stuff, noone even knows how to get on the server at this point.

what he said

[cybernetic]

ETA till 13.3 is on sakray?

[Mefistofeles]

ITS A TEST SERVER, the characters are going to get deleted one day, what about puting a npc to 150/50 a specific char to test? That would be cool, i don't want to spend many hours leveling something that will be deleted in a near future.
Stat/Skill reset would be cool too, testing builds and formulas/skills are obviously something needed for a "Test" server.

Do it please if it's possible!
