Testing the new version

[FollowingPath]

As many of us know, the new version that was posted hasn't really been tested properly. To get it tested and possibly hosted on the ENTID bot, I was wondering if the next IH games could be played in the new version, if not sooner than Saturday. Of course, this might require one or two people to take notes of any possible issues that is found during the actual games so they can all be posted together. Thoughts?

Great Idea, it should be done

@ShadowZz Took the liberty of hosting some games through IDL's bot.

So much fun!

Use the private hosting for testing purposes instead.

[ShadowZz]

I used that at first but then noone could join the game no matter how many times i re !pub it. So we switched to our bot :/

[Merex]

@ShadowZz That's why I said switch to europe but you had already started hosting via your own. (Atlanta bots can sometimes be unreliable)

Use the private hosting for testing purposes instead.

Normally I'd agree, but the problem right now is someone taking the initiative to get it done, and even if the games are hosted the news don't travel very far (I had no idea ShadowZz had hosted a few games). By turning the next IH session into a test of the new version we'd be sure to have a lot of people show up, and have an actual date for testing it with a full lobby. We'd be able to get the whole thing out of the way by next week and be that much closer to hosting it on the bot.

Gl getting "them" to use a potentially buggy map when they completely refute using any version of 4.0.0 due to bugs.

[aRt)Y]

You dont need 11 players to beta test. Because if you would, the map wouldnt be as bugged as people claim.

[ShadowZz]

It's not as bugged as people claim....

Edit: Also completely agree.

Instead of sacrificing the IH's, schedule a beta testing event.

Aka @ShadowZz re-hosts tests tonight perhaps? I mean honestly not everyone in the forum needs to test, just people who know island defense and are willing to do such. Even pulled some pubs from ENTID and it didn't seem too bad.
