FAQ
What is 2.0? What exactly is this, what's being tested?
2.0 is what the community refers to the new game client we're building as. It's a separate game client, being tested on a separate server, that will not impact the main server in any way. The main server will continue running and the client for that can be downloaded from the main links on the website and discord. This thread, and this client, and the test server that this client connects to, are totally separate from the main server. Once we complete testing here, and the game is deemed stable enough, we will allow this client to connect to the main server, and treat this as a PTR environment for early tests of new patches.
How long will the Open Beta Last?
As long as it takes to fix all the major crashes and stability issues. At least 4-6 weeks.
Why are there level caps?
We are doing level caps so that the testers can focus on testing a subset of content at a time.
How long will each level cap last?
As long as it takes to get that level cap's content fully tested and mostly bug free. At least 1-2 weeks.
What credentials do I use on the test server?
Your account credentials from the main server will work on the test server.
How often do you migrate accounts from the main server to the test server?
At first, nightly. Later in the Open Beta when most accounts are there, I'll switch to weekly,
Will my characters from the main server be copied to the test server?
No, you will need to make new characters on the test server.
Will the test server affect my main server account or characters?
No, the test server will not affect the main server in any way.
Will there be a data wipe on the main server when 2.0 launches?
No. The only wipes going forward will be on the Seasonal channel in future, and for systems we rework. You can read more about that here: DBOG Roadmap 1
Where is the new content? When will you make more maps? Are new transformations coming? When SSJ2?
New content will come later. Unlike other projects that just fully release their game and call it an alpha or a beta, this is an actual open beta. The purpose of this is to test and improve the game with the help of the players. Our focus is on bug fixes, stability, and optimization.
Why haven't you done more to change the game and add new features? No one is going to play until you add more new features! Why even work on this?
Most projects that switch clients immediately die because they don't put in the time and effort to fix the game client. We are not going to make that mistake. We are working on this so that later we have a stable, optimized, malleable client that will allow us to more quickly create new content and fix bugs.
Will there be rewards for active testers on the test server?
This is still to be determined. We are discussing it internally. We're not sure if this is a precedent we want to set, considering now that the test server is publicly available, we will need to maintain and scale the test server for the indefinite future.
Is it okay to play the test server for fun?
Yes, but none of that data will ever transfer to the main server, and the test server will be subject to volatile reboots and bugs/bug fixes. There will be times where it is unplayable.
Will players who misbehave on the test server be punished normally according to the game policies?
No. Any rule breaking on the test server potentially costs us a lot of dev time, and will therefore be met with an instant permanent ban from the test server, and potential consequences for your main account on the main server as well.
