Thread: SE needs help for testing their servers before 5.0

Call me crazy, but having stable servers at launch is incentive enough.

Fair enough.

Hmmm. I have never seen Ixion in any form or fashion. So I wonder if this will give me the chance to finally claim those elusive rewards before the FATE itself becomes useless like Odin and the other major world boss FATEs.

This to me isnt going to go very well especially for those on PS4. It currently takes almost 30secs for me to load into certain areas like the city-states or Rhalgr's Reach.

I would most likely never be able to make it and I would like to get Ixion on an alt. But I will give it a try the first few times I guess.

Looks like we'll be the ultimate cause of an 8th Calamity.

All the more reason to try and get to those zones, the point is to try and make the servers more stable for SHB release. If it crashes all the more info it gives them towards that goal.

They would get more takers if they offer a reward for showing up.

The reward for showing up is getting into the Ixion FATE. If you've already gotten everything you want out of that, great, no need to participate. But it's surely a juicy enough reward to lure in enough players.

Quite honestly, they probably should've considered ARR/HW FATEs instead/additionally. If they really want to stress, better to not have it limited to an area that they'll only access near the end of the 4.0 MSQ, eh?

Unfortunately, without the promise of a mount for those that haven't got it yet, and minion too?, probably not much. Although damn, Coeurlregina would be nice. The wait time on those is such a killer.
