I don't really know what to say here. Yes? HCs should definitely use Hooftest to make sure new content is ready for release before letting it go public. I suppose the only valid question is, why don't they?
I have tried to get this answer from them for ages...since they stopped using hooftest. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Why would they not want to test content before they release it? Wouldn't clear, smooth running content make people want to play more/pay more? It's business 101.

I agree with you 100%, problem is we can talk about this amongst ourselves till we are blue in the face. We can't make them use him. We need a member of HCS staff to comment on here, in the public eye and either PROMISE to use Hooftest to beta-TEST new content before it is released or actually explain to us why they don't/won't.
You are completely right. So how do we get the Cows attention? Send a ticket? lol

content testers are usually beta-testing new things, and usually have some sort of backup to fall on if something is amiss. when normal people at EOC are left to do that, we don't have that luxury. we deserve something for doing the job that hooftest was created for. and no, the novelty of doing new content is not enough...especially when it is prone to have bugs. if the content is actually tested by hoof ahead of release, you could only assume that more people would be willing to level a bit harder to go through good, BUGLESS content.

bottom line is, and it really has been beaten to a pulp here and elsewhere...hooftest needs to do the task he was created for, plain and simple.

If they would simply have a quick run through with hooftest, I mean really, they can give hooftest whatever stats they want, it's not as if it would be very difficuly for them to run through, make sure all the drops work, all the NPC's are there, all the doors/stairs are there/working and all the quests are actually active.
THEN, they might actually see how buggy it is for the people that run through content first and actually get there act together.
Portals to new realms should be added as soon as content is released along with the stairways to the master realms.
Apart from all this I think HCS do a GREAT job. :mrgreen:

Perhaps a player could volunteer to do this if he accepts to be exempt of top player rankings or another formula is found to allow him to keep playing the game on equal terms with others

I think the beta tester would fly a lot better as an idea, since admins dont have the time to level through 10 maps, do quests, farm the Elite and declare the content ready to release..If they had they would already do it, right?
Perhaps a player could volunteer to do this if he accepts to be exempt of top player rankings or another formula is found to allow him to keep playing the game on equal terms with othersI d happily do it if i was at EOC but i started the game too late apparently
I volunteered less than a week ago, and this is the response I got:

Thank you for your offer, but we do not use players as Beta testers at the moment, we only use Hooftest.
Thanks again though
Regards,
Hunted Cow Support.
Hence why I have brought it up in the forums. they don't seem to want a beta tester, but yet...they refuse to use hooftest

Like I said, I don't mind submitting tickets on things through content. But it just seems like more work than I should be doing considering they have a bloody test character with godlike stats...Why should I work unofficially for HCS? lol
Bloody good question?
Not even work for them...PAY them to test their content.
Seems like a boss business model to me...you and many other people are doing it, lol!
"Build it (halfway) and they will come...."
