100583-ptr-leveling-for-sabotage-tomorrow

== Content ==
			
Alright, first off an apology to mods if I didn't post this in the right forum.
 
Right, that out of the way... Since the devs announced on the nexus report that they want to play Sabotage tomorrow during stream, I was wondering... Do I have to somehow manage to level to 30 or 50 within a day to be able to play with them? Or will there be some kind of dev cheat to up the levels of everyone on the PTR during these kind of events? I ask because they asked us to test the Strain stuff too, and I wondered what happened for players during that content's time on PTR.
 
Because I doubt I'll be able to level that much before tomorrow and I'd be sad to miss out on this opportunity to play with them : (

			They implemented this weird and unneeded system, you can get instant Lv50 on this PTR if you managed to get Lv50 on the Live Realms BEFORE July 06, 2014. If you didn't get a Lv50 before that, you will not be able to get that instant boost.	
----
			
That's indeed weird. For one, that system is news to me, and it exposes problem two; who actually knew about this? Three, this basically means that everyone would have to play with a main both on the PTR and the live realms to be able to join in everything on the PTR now. That is, as I said, weird.
 
Although this will certainly limit the amount of players who can join in the sabotage run with the devs tomorrow in a little unfair way : /

Last PTR (with the Drop 1) the same system was implemented, if you did not have Lv50 before a set date on the Live Realms, you were not able to get the Lv50 boost on PTR. It's stupid, new players want to test stuff too, see if it's actually worth paying, test classes see what they want to roll on Live, see new content. Instead they lock it for those new players.
 
Here from the official Drop 2 PTR thread:
 
 
“Boost” NPCs are available in Nexus that will level Players up, and give them gear.
Will only be available for Players who have earned a level 50 on a Live Realm before July 06, 2014.

I missed out on the Strain PTR due to not being 50 in time.
 
I tested out the New BG in the last test they did recently, but with the green random gear on the vendor and no real set gear for your class/spec given, i don't see much point in testing things out if not given the tools to do so.
 
What energy i had for bug squishing and testing things has been drained away by not being taken seriously to do the job right with the tools needed.

YOu have everything you need to get the test data THEY need from the test. All you have to do is play.

It's strange indeed that the devs make such a large point of asking players to try out stuff on the test realm (we get boomboxes now too) and they don't let us test what they want us to.
 
So a call to the devs once they wake up and read this topic: don't make the PTR so exclusive. This isn't serving your needs nor ours. It's impossible to expect the vast majority of your players to get to 50 on their own within days when you are sending out the call, asking for us to test your stuff. Your implementation of CREDD is a testimony to your understanding that a lot of people don't have that kind of time.
 
 
(for people that don't get why CREDD is this: it's because some people don't have the time to grind for things like money, which is the principle gold farmers and sellers work on).

See, I don't seem to have access to that, else I could've posted this topic there. : /

If you have access to the forums, how can you not have access to the PTR forums?  They're right below English language forums and above the Deutsch forums.  In the stickied post in the General Forum section of PTR forums for Drop 2: Sabatoge they tell you that info:

When you make your char on the PTR, and login to the Arkship, TURN AROUND and move 10 feet forward. Boost NPC is waiting there to make you level 50 and send you to main city.
 
Once in main city the graveyard vendor 10 feet in front of you has a selection of random greens.
 
I mean random.
 
Re-buy them until they match your classes stats and enjoy Pvp.
 
MAKE SURE YOU SIGN UP FOR RATED NOT PRACTICE.
