AM HELLKNIGHT |
I, too, shall venture forth.
Indeed, I would petition the Lictors to elevate me and permit me to establish a citadel within the River Kingdoms. Are we not Hellknights? Do we not tread in the wild lands, Law following in our footsteps? Without an Order of Hellknights to inspire them, how will the people of such lands ever be turned from their wild ways?

I'll keep my sword. I'll be more use to you with it, and you already have one, and a bow, and an axe. Seriously, how many arms do you have? Will you use them all at once?
But I'd be willing to trade the sword for, say, a ring of invisibility (a regular one, not one of those crappy cursed ones that make you MORE visible to your worst enemies).

Oh all right, I'll go. You guys are going to need someone to keep you out of trouble...Kaeyoss put that down, you don't know where it's been.
Those of you with those weapons, I want you to be extra careful, we don't want to hurt anybody. And NO Running with them!
Unless of course you are charging. You are allowed to run with a weapon if you are charging.

Vial, not bathtub... What I will do with so much of it? And now I'm rid of empty bottles, any bottles in fact, instead having a lots of... I have no idea what they turned into.
This also means I need a lot more than thirteen rat tails. If only that rat-tail quest were repeatable...

You can thank me later. I'd call it "The Little Little Sea of Amorphia". "Pond of Amorphia" just hasn't the same ring to it.
What I will do with so much of it?
It's not about what you'll do with it. It's about what it will do with you. And your garden. And city.

Nothing worse than ravages of time and self-neglect will do. Nope. Can't do it.
And your garden.
Then I am lucky that I live in flat and don't have garden.
And city.
Not possible. Here in Krakow we have one of the seven stones of Shiva within our Chakra and the Hindu legend says that the seven cities that have those stones will survive no matter what.
Uh, wait, it nowhere says that they remain unchanged by pure chaos. Nevermind that, we will survive, in whatever our new, tentacled and multieyed form will be.

After much trial and error I dipped a slightly autistic, left-handed, near-sighted weasel into the font and it turned into a vial.
You are welcome, Drejk.
As for the beta test: you have my... ah hell, I'm in.

You guys do know that playtesting is acutal, you know, work? You have to slog through barely functional pre-alpha segments several dozen times, just to find all the things wrong with it? It's not gonna be a fun romp through a fully realized game, it's gonna be a really long, really arduous process.
Well with that attitude it sure will be! Where's your sense of adventure, man?

The thing is, there will be no adventure, because serious playtesting requires technical knowledge of what is going on. You are not being paid/contracted to play the game and enjoy it, you are doing it to nitpick all of the glaring flaws in the game design. And that's after you've tried to find all the glitches and bugs present in the raw, untested code. And that requires constantly doing the same thing to see if it triggers anything. Repeat ad nauseum for just about everything in the game, and it will lose it's wonder and adventure pretty damn quick.

Yes it's slow and tedious, but these guys have a point. Sometimes the testing phases take FOREVER to get through because of all the subtle holes in them. Having volunteer testers can let you take a 'mass swarm' approach to finding bugs. Sure not all volunteer testers will recognize all bugs they encounter, but with enough of them (and professional testers behind them cleaning up the gleanings) you can accelerate your testing phases.
(Also, the Beta test phase can indeed be fun, and by that point the bugs tend to be few and far enough between that you NEED a lot of people to dig them out.)

No, you can't. A swarm of amateurs dicking around with your pre-alpha code will give you a swarm of useless tickets that it'll take professionals longer to sort out than if you had just hired a real QA unit to do the job in the first place.
