N66 97 Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Awesome, beautiful work people, give a big clap for your team from us. Just making sure, the announcement says there is a 1% chance for a legendary at every 500JT purchased, if you buy a pack of more JT, this is automatically stacked, right?

MattScott 15242 Posted June 22, 2020 Hi everyone, I also want to acknowledge the hard work put in by SPCT and our closed testing group of players. This was very tedious work, and a lot of it wasn't fun. It wouldn't have been possible with them getting on week after week and reporting issues. I also want to level set expectations. I'm releasing the Beta because we need a lot more concurrency and mass testing now. Expect crashes and issues. This is going to be bumpy, but at this point we can't do this without the community. We needed to cross this threshold so we can start focusing on mission districts and better matchmaking. Thanks, Matt 11 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iCraze 1 Posted June 22, 2020 Very exciting. Question: If we get lucky and get the legendary permanently from renting it for 2.5k Joker Tickets, will we get another one if we rent it the full 20 times? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilyRain 669 Posted June 22, 2020 inb4 the upcoming beta-feedback thread will be longer than that "last person to reply to this thread wins" thread APB's new dawn draws near, the days ahead will be ones to remember~~ #StayPositive&ReportEngineBugs 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You get 1%^50 that's not how it works either... that'd be the probability to get one with every stack for 50 stacks P = 1-(1-0.01)^50 = 40% ish @N66 to get at least 1 legendary Edited June 22, 2020 by heelruby math Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koenyboy500 36 Posted June 22, 2020 Lots of good news in a big big bundle. I absolutely love these steps you are taking, I think this is very healthy progress indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question: If we get lucky and get the legendary permanently from renting it for 2.5k Joker Tickets, will we get another one if we rent it the full 20 times? If you get the Legendary from the 5% drop, it will reset your progress bar on that legendary. You won't be able to get double drops What this ceiling does do, however, is ensure that you will be guaranteed to get the gun you want if you keep renting, no matter how lucky or unlucky you get. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We needed to cross this threshold so we can start focusing on mission districts and better matchmaking. Thanks, Matt Great news. Hopefully a lot of players will hop on and test the new engine. I'm assuming that your team will have all of the appropriate monitoring tools on the server end, to record any server issues, anomalies, performance metrics and what not. Is there anything specifically the playerbase can do regarding client side issues, crashes. errors, or in game bugs ? Are you expecting players to submit Bug Reports, and any relevant log files as part of these public Beta tests ? If so, is there a process that we should follow, or use the current Support Web site, specifying that this is the "Beta" instance ? I'm assuming the more bug reporting the better.

The section for Bug reporting does not allow for the uploading of files. So any client side log files will not be needed ?

All the relevant data that you would get by posting a log will be captured that way. No need to do so manually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
