Call for testers: Paragon Chat Prerelease Testing Program

[Ravynwynd]

I would like to be a Stress Tester.

A.  I am legitimately interested in Paragon Chat as a platform to build on. I'm willing to do some extra testing and I do good with contributing constructive feedback to help out.

B.  Since I enjoy writing and dabbling in desktop publishing, I am good at paying attention to detail. and I can post useful information about situations that I run into.

C.  I have a forum account and I am comfortable in discussions on the closed testing forum.

D. I have limited technical expertise, (basic forum coding, 3D rendering with 3rd Party software with 2nd Life and Landmark; retired from texturing "the Sims")

Tahquitz directed me to this forum.

P.S.  I'm very interested in one of the current tasks, working on Super Base.

Well, head on over to the Prerelease Testing forum that you now have access to and take a look!

Things have been a little busy with $dayjob spilling over into personal time lately, so there hasn't been an update there in a while, but there is still plenty to check out. Hopefully should get some more free time soon.

Ravynwind just brought this to my attention. For programming experience, I once wrote a number guessing program in BASIC on my Commodore 128... I can sense the envy following ;)
I've never been an alpha tester, but I've been a beta tester for several mmorpgs. I do have rather expansive base building knowledge, though I did manage to fall through the floor into the grid once. Was rather amusing though, hiding outside the walls and stabbing at people through them. But that should be an example, is there's a way to break something, I can usually find it.
I am also a morale booster. People look at me, and instantly feel better about themselves. And lastly, I give really good hugs :)

Though I also am a manager for online retail, so holiday season is pretty much insanity for the next 2 months.

I'd really be happy to help test out the features and give any feedback on bugs/glitches/etc. I could try to record and send but otherwise, if not, I can write down what I do. I don't have any coding background or anything, but if there's a feature that needs testing, I'll spend the time trying to find ways to break it to help find things to polish up.

I like to join your team, how do I get the prerelease version, to start testing base building?

[ScottyB]

I'd be up for testing things, usually have Thursday and/or Friday free.

I have Windows 10 and Windows XP virtual machines that I use regularly, if testing on certain platforms is useful or if you need someone to multi box. I think my Windows 8 VM backup also still works, just needs a couple years worth of updates. So, I could be, like, three testers in one.

[Mainboard]

I am not a coder but I am in. I started with the Alpha, I am used to reporting issues, and I love CoH.

[xXHalfSliceXx]

I would love to be a part of moving things forward and input.

I am a coh issue 1 player.

So i have been through the wringer a few times.

[TheCyberchill]

I'd like to be added, I'm really interested in base building and would love to test it for bugs etc, I use to beta test landmark during its initial development before sunset

I've already been able to create a new account and  log on as  "Paragon Chat (Dev)." I've even started modifying my old SG base. What else or how else may I contribute to keep the development team on schedule? 
Thank you CW for all you have done, Doc Artz  8)

sorry for the dumb question, what is the stress test for, and how do i help out ...... if i can. tnx again

[Mew Mew Supercat]

Mew Mew reporting in for a hand! I'll help out  :) just tell me how to get started ;).

[Codewalker]

Bump, for great justice.

I *think* I got everybody who asked about this added to the group. If I missed you, let me know.

There hadn't been any serious testing of big features lately. That changed today: we have a fresh build up and could really use anyone who has some spare time to give it a whirl and kick the tires.

[Korbian]

Oooh, new shinies?  (Shineys?  It's hard to pluralize adjectives we've nounified.)  I'm in!

[CrimsonSun]

Sure. I definitely have some time to kill if needed.

[Codewalker]

Added the two of you. Check out the Prerelease Testing board just below this one in the list. The two important threads are the sticky with the instructions for where to get the installer for the dev branch, and the latest post with the things to know about the current build.

[Twi]

Got nothing but time lately.

[Mew Mew Supercat]

Im at home all the time so ill help

[Nyghtshade]

Is coding knowledge needed?  I don't have that, but I've built my share of bases, back in the day, if that's any help in testing.

[Codewalker]

Nope, none at all. If you managed to install the regular paragon chat, that's all the knowledge you need to install the test branch.

Mew I already added you yesterday, you should see the prerelease testing forum which has instructions for getting started.
