Important question: Does this unlock account-wide, or is it limited to one character?

[Archived Post]

Wow! Thanks, Cryptic. :)

Should be account wide, as though you copy a char from live to PTS, you do not copy from PTS to live AND your live and PTS chars, even though they migth have started out as clones, are two different entities so an unlock on the test that is character only would mean nothing to your live char (lets not forget that you migth create a new char on test altogether)

This Traffic Cone Hat costume piece is account-wide, so for all characters created in an account.

Can you let me put the hat onto bus stops?

I'm glad this is a costume piece I'd never want, because once again BOTH test windows fall during my work hours.

Another important question, is the time cumulative? Like can I do 20 mins in the first session from 11-3 then 40 mins in the 5-8 one?

It says between either one or both, which means cumulative.
I think :)

What about those that CANT log in to the test server? I'm signed up for it but I don't get the option. (The drop down disappears). When I try to re-sign up for it I am told I am already signed up....

Any tips?

[Archived Post]

Will you be tranfering our current lvl toons over to the PTS?? ie i have a lvl 24 toon but on PTS it's lvl 10.

We have a Level-Up NPC in MC, so you can just make a new Char, start in MC and use the NPC to level up.

[Archived Post]

Ugh, well this is great. The stupid thing would never let me in for the last test, so this'll be doubly fun if I try this time and find out not only will the PTS not connect to the account login server for me, but I"ll be missing out on a costume unlock.
yipeeee

Edit: K so did anybody else get locked out of the last test?
Cause I spent a good 40 mintues trying to log onto the PTS and got nothing.

[Archived Post]

I don't know, usually I'm a costume piece fanatic... but seriously a road traffic cone hat? for a Halloween theme event? seems kind of silly to me :p I for one would have thought letting players unlock a special "zombie stance" would fit much better... then a road cone... whose actually going to wear it? lol :eek:

I think I am going to make Test man and just use peices of custome on him I get for testing. I hope we get a diffrent part each time.

[Archived Post]

sounds great only a few hours till we can start right?

[Archived Post]

Yeah. Like, what time is it now, by their time? Does it just go by the timestamps on the forums or something?

[Archived Post]

This is awesome! I love the costume piece idea!

Now I need to relook at my "test dummy" character concept. :-)

Thanks for having a sense of humor guys!

Just a heads up but they closed my ticket and told me to call them ... now the rep is opening a new ticket and will get back to me.

TL;DR: Call them first. Not sure why though.

Next time I expect an unlockable emblem symbol that says "NERF" in bold. XD

of people who are still unable to access the PTS. Many of them, including myself, have simply had our tickets closed & marked resolved with some sort of form message that has nothing at all to do with our problem, or actually lies about the process.

Can you please actually make sure that the people responding to tickets have some idea of what is going on? Is there any way to actually get in touch with anyone who has the knowledge and ability to help us?

I *think* it worked for me but I had the same experience with a support ticket.

This. I've received no unlock feedback, nor is it available on the test server costume generator. I assume it'll be unlocked the way the Mega-Destroid pet was, but I'd like to know before I log out, potentially ruining my chances. >_>

[Archived Post]

Quick question:

Are Nemeses able to use your costume unlocks?

Yep, the call worked. I'm downloading the test stuff now.

[Archived Post]

I was also wondering how we can tell if this has actually been unlocked??

ahem

yeah

[Archived Post]

I was on PTS for way more than an hour and got no notice about the hat unlocking. Did this break? Not cool. I'm dissapointed.

[Archived Post]

The test are just finished but I have a question on this test .To unlock it could I test the Blood Moon features or Log in game for 1 hour is enough to recieve the hat ? :confused:

Tnx and Bye :D

[Archived Post]

Still wondering if the costume unlock works for all the heads or bestials have to wait for extra head pieces to come in the future. :(

[Archived Post]

Sweet! There will be another test time tonight around midnight (well, it's gonna be around midnight in my country) ? That's awesome, I'll be there for sure to get the costume unlock...if I signed up all right... :confused: xD

[Archived Post]

If the hat doesn't unlock with the second test Ii will be really really dissappointed.

[Archived Post]

are the costume pieces going to be handed out to the ppl who have been unable to log into the PTS due to some bug that has been getting ignored by devs for over a month now?

Lol the test patch download kept crashing over and over again, over the course of three hours. 8:00 PM and it's finally working great. Of course, the offer is now over and I've wasted 3 hours of my time and 3 gigs of HDD space. Such is life I guess. :D

It might have been on my end. I wouldn't put it past my ISP to throttle bandwidth if they saw too many connections to the same destination. :p

[Archived Post]

meh i dnt kno if i spent a whole hour or not i spent a pretty long time in it though and i think i did over an hour atleast i just hope i get the unlock

[Archived Post]

Anyone get the Road Cone Hat unlock yet ? I spent a least an hour on the PTS and still haven't acquired it.

[Archived Post]

Know I spent over an hour in it in first playtest and then over half an hour in the second one. Sadly no unlock yet.

[Archived Post]

I know that too, since it took an hour and a half for the respawn...

[Archived Post]

Another question: Will the test-results actually be used to improve the event prior to it going live?

I am a fanboy of this game, but that stunt with the patch that made enemies extremely strong still ****es me off.

[Archived Post]

I am pretty sure it hasn't even been patched into the game yet. The system knows how long you were in the PTS. Once the unlock is in, you may just find it in your tailor.

I am given countless opportunities to put a traffic cone on my head in real life. But when I want to in an online video game, I have to earn it. WHY IS THE INTERNET SO MUCH CRUELER THAN REALITY?

[Archived Post]

Dont have mine yet, played 2 hours and half (from 11am to 1:30pm). :confused:

[Archived Post]

It's the weekend, don't expect to get anything till next week

[Archived Post]

Thank you all for participating in the playtest and providing feedback! I will be going through all the feedback and forwarding it on to the Devs.

A lot of people are asking about the Road Cone Hat costume unlock. We will parse through the logs to determine who is eligible, then the costume unlocks will be applied to those accounts. This will likely happen sometime on Monday. I'm not the one that handles this process, so I can't make any guarantees as to timeframe.

Oh really?

Edit: Wow I just logged in after reading your post and it said Costume Unlocked. This is weird, mang.

[Archived Post]

Got mine too ... might be cool to actually wear it in like 2 years from now. Otherwise, everyone will have it on and that's just not THAT cool...

[Archived Post]

I am going to be looking for the hat wearers parade.

[Archived Post]

Where did you look to see if you had yours? I was on the test for well over 2 hours playing in the pvp zombie stuff and still don't see any indication on my account about getting the cone hat.
