What need testing?

By Kelbar, in General Discussion

I new to ffg forums, this be 1st time I've manage to get into beta book while beta is taking place.

Dose ffg post anywhere what connect in the book need testing or just let people use the book and people e-mail what they feel need changing.

They do put out errata throughout the beta process on changes and what not. They want the game tested from beginning to advanced characters, so groups don't need to be stingy with xp rewards. A lot of the new Force powers require a fairly advanced character to really fully utilize them.

During the AoR beta period, they never gave specific areas to playtest initially. Whenever they released updates, there were generally new rules and at that point they would request areas of emphasis for playtest.

Based on everyone hating on Morality, I would suggest starting with that. 90% of the Morality comments are people talking about how to change it before people are using it as RAW.

Other than that, always the new Talent Trees, new force powers, new ships... etc.

Good luck with your testing.

In the most recent O66 podcast Sam Stewart mentioned a few things that they were particularly interested in seeing Beta results on. Not sure if this is the complete list, but I recall:

- High level Force Powers. Specifically the ones that have a FR2+ requirement

- Lightsaber attachments/modifications. Specifically how reasonable it is to do a fully modded saber.

- Character creation: The relative value of FR1 (fewer skills and ranks) and the options on the Morality table; value of gear/XP vs. Morality 30/70. Personally, I'd also be interested in seeing those Gear/XP/Morality comparisons between FaD vs. EotE/AoR.

- Knight Level play

More specifically, I think I recall him wondering whether people felt the FR 2+ requirement for some powers was appropriate/reasonable/a positive for the game.
