We've created a QA team on the EP server and I'm going to focus on the PvE aspect. What we'd like from you (devs) is to know where we can help with feedback on balance. What are you guys aiming for as far as what a level 50 should be able to do and what a level 30 should be able to do.

So far 2 (knowledgeable) level 50s can take on 4 level 48's in Creston with moderate difficulty. What kind of information would you like to know? What our loadouts are and stats like ballistic resistance etc?

Help us help you.

Thanks for volunteering!

I'd be interested to hear how missions are; is a mission on Easy reall easy? How hard is Hard now, soloing, at different levels? How about with a team?

We'll be balancing the NPCs over the next few patches, and feedback like this is going to be very helpful.

Also, with the details you mentioned (loadouts, resistances, etc), could you post those here? Anything like that would be very useful. Oh, and "moderate difficulty"... does that mean you were worried at some point about dying, you got down to half health...?

Thanks again for helping us help you to help us. SMILEY

Wish there was a command that could be implemented that would list all the abilities loaded and all that jazz, so all I'd have to do is post a chat log for the system message displayed.

That'd make things like this much easier, and would decrease the time needed to present a comprehensible report a lot.

Is there a way we can skip over the intro/seduction missions and go straight to the standards?  It felt a little strange doing "Welcome to the Matrix" with a level 50.

Is it me or is the mission system not working, I clicked on my controler but the mission types never loaded. it just said loading mission header or something to that effect, so when I clicked cancel it said, "cannot find missions" or something to that effect. then when I tried again it said, "You must reply to all mission invites before createing a team." anyone else getting this or is it just me?

The introduction missions need to be run in richland, so make sure you are there.

took me a while to work that out. And even then sometimes the mission would have problems or abort straight after starting.

For testing, useful feed back on NPCs as HCFrog stated would entail Missions set so you will get even level mobs and see how the difficulty of them feels. Configurations that would be useful.

  • Running the mission solo
  • Running hte mission team 2+ people
  • All MAs
  • All Gunman
  • All Hackers
  • All Coders (yep use pets :smileywink: )
  • All Patchers
  • All Spys (When the tree becomes available)
  • Also try with a balanced team where everyone plays something different.
  • Mixing up the load out combinations for the players.

Feed back for each of the listed team configuration would be greatly appreciated.

I did on the intro missions. . . I will try again today to see if it has changed. Sorry should have stated that in my  post.
