Balance Testing Going Public!
« on: October 20, 2011, 12:08:06 PM »
Do you love to Battle?

Are you keen to find out what the Balance Team has been doing to all of your favourite Pokes?

Are you excited to see a new metagame - where even Pidgeot and Raticate can be threatening?

Well, your chance is here!


The PU team is proud to announce that we will be opening a public PU balance testing server shortly -with all of our currently changed pokes in it.
As we balance more Pokemon, the server will be updated with new stats and movepools.

Our goal is to do 3 things:
- Build up a strong community ready for the release of the game
- Help you all to know the balance changes for the release of the game (so you already have an idea of what teams will be fun to use!)
- Test the Pokemon as much as possible, to see who's fun to play against, who's too powerful, and who still needs a bit of a buff.

If you look along the forums, you will see some new ones:
Balance Server Testing: This is where, when the server has been released, we will try to get all of your feedback and put it to good use.
Completed Reports: This is where we will post reports on the Pokemon we have balanced - this is your one stop forum for ideas on who to pick and why you should pick them. As we balance more Pokes, we'll report more Pokes.
Balance Testing Team Only: This is the special forum for all the people who have been helping us test for months! They'll be testing Pokemon before they even enter the public server - to make sure that you guys don't have your experiences ruined by changes that should have never seen the light of day!

So!

Get ready for server details and server rules and such to drop very soon!
Until then, please don't post in the Testing forum!

Thanks!
The PU Dev Team

Is there a place where we can see the changes before making a team?

Okay question, is there going to be a special client we download so we can test or not?

We will provide you with the database required to patch your PO client to use our server.

If you are a previous balance tester, you will get 2 databases, one for the private server, one for the public server.
