Question: Other content THAT bugged aswell?

[Alterego]

Nice you guys seem to got what I wanted to say: The server was called "fully scripted" but there were so many gamebreaking bugy, I dont really know what I can still believe here.

so many gamebreaking bugy

Like what? Priests rotating totems?
And devs got half of what was reported fixed within a day... This is the polishing phase.

Well i never mind bugs on new servers, specially on private Servers, I'm totally okay with that and i understand it. But they cant speak about "Fully scripted - ready to launch" in such a state.

The thing is, that on the main page, there was something like : forget about other private servers, this is the real deal, with 4 years in development. So naturally, you expect the server to be pretty good in every aspect. And then, when you finally have the chance to try it out and you find out that there are basic bugs, like on every other private server, you will be disappointed eventually.

They changed it now, on the new website it says: "to assure you a proper Blizzlike experience."

Maybe haters should think about all things that were working that are bugged on other servers.

Well I'd say this thread and especially its title is quite misleading for players interested in Nostalrius.

Having played on a plethora of private servers since my introduction to them in 2011, and approaching Nostalrius' PvP test objectively and without great bias or hope, I would say that this has been my one of my best private server experiences so far.

Granted, I have not played on any of Nostalrius' previous releases and can not say wether or not new bugs popped up that didn't used to exist. And yes, there were plenty of incredibly silly bugs (such as seduce not breaking at all, and sap not breaking as long as the rogue was still in stealth).

However, I have never experienced smoother gameplay on any private server. I encountered zero movement lag or stuttering, feared/blinded/coiled players were always shown in the correct location. As a melee class I had no difficulty hitting mounted players, which is almost impossible on most other projects.

You may argue that the server still has plenty of bugs, and I don't disagree. However Nostalrius' staff has already fixed a great amount of common bugs before the PvP beta, and continues to fix bugs at a very rapid pace.
If you were hyped for the test and expected too much, obviously you could be disappointed. However from my personal experience I have never seen such smooth gameplay on private servers. Bugs are an obvious annoyance, but at the rate they are being fixed it's only a very temporary annoyance.

Well said i agree i have only Feenix experience and i quit a long time ago and i must say this server was like heaven after playing on feenix.

and about the bugs, some of the bugs toke them 15 mins to fix and most of the reported bugs are already fixed after a day. I got high hopes for this server

[Hatson]

I agree with Thrashing here. I even said the same thing myself to devs in-game.
Even though there might still be quite a few bugs left to fix here and there. All of the ones I found and reported were fixed within an hour and all gone by the 2nd PvP session time.
And to knock home what Thrashing said. Even with some bugs, the gameplay was SMOOTH.
It was butter smooth, really. I had zero issues with any movement related spells, lag, stutters, jutters, spell casting overlaps, or anything. Everything was super smooth and reactionary like how WoW gameplay is supposed to play out.

If they do more tests, and fix more bugs and reports, work out the kinks. I feel that it could easily become the smoothest private server launch ever.

The only real "worry" for me is the endgame content. Which, frankly, we have no personal experience of some of it. So we will have to wait and see how that turns out, or have another test for PvE content. That could shed some light on how it's developing or what kind of state it is in.

Well it's always the same :
- What is good seems only natural so we don't talk about it much.
- What is wrong is quickly being seen and it makes us mad.

I played here before, new things appeared sure but it's quite okay in the end. It's quickly fixed and/or minor.

Don't forget that it was a BETA-test. It means a lot, it means that it is not 100% ready. So bugs are there, if you find them, they fix them. They can't perform every kind of tests alone, they need these kind of events and it's the very reason they do those : to find & fix bugs.
