Report 1003

Report #1003
Skillset: Skill: None
 Org: Cantors Status: Completed Dec 2012
Furies' Decision:
We do not like solutions 1 or 2. Iosai will try to keep her server open more for
envoy testing.
Problem: Currently, envoys do not have a consistent way to personally test out
abilities in other classes, aside from when the test server is occasionally open
to us. Alting is not a viable solution in many cases due to the amount of time
and resources it takes to create a character suitable for testing. Working with
someone in that class and reading logs from their point of view is helpful, but
it doesn't allow you to control for all factors as you'd like and also requires
you to coordinate schedules. This report seeks to see if there is a way envoys
can easily access all class skills for purposes of testing on demand.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Set up special characters for each envoy that are
 level 100, and trans in all abilities, and that have
 the ability to change class/skills at will to be used
 solely for testing purposes.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Set up special characters, one for each guild spec,
 that envoys can take turns logging in to for testing
 (like Spindle, Bobbins, etc)
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Open the test server to envoys a few times each month

I'm a fan of any of these, but I think Solution 3 would be the easiest, but
maybe in conjuction with 1 or 2, allowing access to all the artifacts on the
test server and other various buffs to properly test and account for all
factors.

Or a Special arena in which class/skill change commands work, with all changes
made in the arena reverting on exit?

Would be cool if these characters were like the guide shells. If possible
anyway.

This would be very helpful.

Supported.

If it won't take up a ton of coding time then sure.
