Dear rangers,

The next big Dino Storm update "#13 Endgame Part 2" has already had one Open PTR test. We have employed a few changes since then that we again would like to test with you ‒ help us find remaining issues and leave your feedback! As soon as everything runs smoothly and we could incorporate your feedback, the testing phase will conclude with the live release to follow shortly after.

:info: Please Read This Before Joining the Test:
  • The PTR ("Public Test Realm") is exclusively used for testing.
  • The server is reusing the state from the previous test, which means you can log back in to the avatar you created last time.
  • If you create a new avatar, it will automatically be given the items etc. which are required for testing the new update.
  • What you see on the PTR is still work in progress and might change during testing and for the live release.
  • Only the English language is available for the game client.
  • This test will likely run for 2-3 days. Please note that there will ne no giveaway based on the Sheriffs Monument ranking this time.
  • To gain access to the PTR, you may need to register a new Splitscreen Games account explicitly for the PTR.

:!: Design Changes Only for the Public Test:

The changes below are only applied during the testing phase and will be reverted/not take place when the update goes live.
  • Existing avatars receive another Fame points bonus:
    • 500,000 Fame points are being added to your balance when you log in to your existing account on the PTR.
  • After creating a new avatar, it will receive the following:
    • New avatars are set to max level.
    • New avatars receive 2,000,000 Fame points.
    • New avatars receive 2,000,000 Dino Dollars.
    • New avatars receive 250,000 Gold Coins.
  • The test is not limited to Dinoville. You can enter all the maps.
    • As a result, PvP (player vs player) combat is possible ‒ and encouraged if you do it for testing the new Combat Fame Time mechanic, as well as the changes we made to Travel Gates and Claims.
  • Townhall elections are sped up a lot compared to live servers, so that the Sheriff's office can be reached in a matter of days.
    • This is also true for the Sheriffs Monument; first-time Sheriffs will only be highlighted for 30 minutes (instead of 3 days in the live release).
    • When the update goes live, election periods will be closer to the times that you are familiar with, e.g. a Town election where you can become Sheriff will take two weeks.

:?: Questions to the Community

It would be great if you can use the following questions as a guideline when you provide your feedback here.
  • Did you understand how Combat Fame Time works just by the information shown in your ranger profile?
  • Did Townhall elections still work as you would expect, given the latest changes?
  • How do you expect the gameplay around Travel Gates and Claims to change ‒ given the new higher production rates on both, and more valuable Fame items from Claims ‒ paired with the new Combat Fame Time mechanic?
