VIP only testing is NOT a feature VIPs want. They want to be able to group and enjoy the quest as intended. If theres no one to group with, which their will not be without premium players, then its no fun.
That and youll not get nearly enough feedback to properly test the quests with such limitations.
also makes no sense, U14 was actaully NOT available to VIPs to be tested for free. Premium players who pre order were far better off as they had fulll acess to all including challenges, while VIPs who took teh cheaper more ideal vip pack, lost some acess. So the whole "beta priority" for VIPs ideal died right there and then.
Please either disable the pack requirement temporarily for beta, or put the pack in the store. Currently the store is offline and thus the U15 content is inaccessible to non vips.

Had no idea it was actually even up, until I saw your other post.
Thank you.
Also I agree.
I mean, if you want us to test... give us the ability to do so.

Wow, it has been an absolutely stellar day for Turbine. Maybe they should go back to bed and just try again later

It's already hard enough to get people to even go to lamannia.
Lamannia needs to have all content open to everyone willing to go there.
You want more people on lamannia? Let them test / preview all of the content you put on lamannia.
More eyeballs on things, more people in more groups and all that.
Just my opinion anway...~ Rukan 4/3 pal/mnk(Past Life mnk x3) ~ Ignavus 16 wiz(Past Life sor/wiz) ~ Styphon 20 Game Deformer(Past Life Clr) ~~ Wyek 7/6 mnk/ftr ~ Lystara 5/6/2 ftr/rng/mnk ~ Tinder 12 brb ~~ Broken Talons ~

I'm not paying them money to help them beta test. I already did that. 80 dollars for the collectors edition, and 2 months on live with the beta (that is still not fixed).

We're currently in the process of updating the store. Once this process is done with, there should be both guest passes and the content pack itself available to everyone.
Thanks for being patient while we work this out!

You are failing to fully comprehend the issue:
More people looking = more potential for bugs to be found.
More bugs found = more bugs to be ignored/deferred
More bugs deferred/ignored = more whining on the forums.
Please, be considerate of the poor Turbinite who has to read the forums!

kings forest which is required to move on in the game was left out of the packs to be bought so whats the point of having the others if you still have to have the expansion to play though

mm odd. It should be included in the eveningstar pack, given the quests there require you to go into it. Originally Posted by navot

I support the idea of open all access on lamania so people can help preview it although it seems most of the time its to late for changes before release there is no harm in letting people play with it there for a bit.

I'm sorry, I did not receive a PM or an email from you asking what I want. How can you speak for me without asking me first? Originally Posted by Shade

Don't be so pedontic. Shade's trying to make a point that the more people show test this the better. Originally Posted by MsEricka
