First of all, they have a forum only for they talk and hide things about us.
Second, after hiding many things...
they make a BIG new update, telling people that they could TEST servers while it has GUNNER update!!!!! and better, UNLIMITED mist energy!
Well, that sounds fun.

Too bad they only want Payers in that testing server.
The free ones, as always, Excluded.
"Sorry, but you cannot join the testing server as you dint payed 5 dollars in the last 3 months. Our apologises....."
And then i guess myself: Why they EVEN send a mail to me (and i guess to everyone) that there is a new BIG testing server including anithing we want....

But "Sadly" we cannot join it unless we PAY.
(If the admins at LEAST hear what i have to say in private...)

And thats why i love these admins!
They are soo cool and genious! =)

PS: Sorry, im honest.

And note, im only telling this because...
Some times, payers are not the best to help you fix the guns or anithing else

its skilled guys.
Skilled guys who can do that thing.

Well, i had a big idea over here about "Hierarchy" powers, that could really make the process faster whit even fewers feed back of the highest quality.

But sadly, i think its a little much work for you all, and as i know you all want make the things "Fast" putting so much complicated hierachy thingys could make the things harder for you all...

Well, if anyone ever want to hear my Hierarchy plan, Ask me. (sorry, i dint wanted to make you all waste your time reading that... more work to you all i dont know if it will be good)

And well, i think i have another plans to .... make the game better btw. Like the Token system... and many more things, but... i guess they're going to be hard to you all make, and... maybe you all have fewer time to know how to get money faster, i dunno ._.

Gl admins sorry for this... im just pretty bad to know that i cant join that game becauz im not a Payer as you all want. And note:
Im not going to pay for a game like this too..

I dont want money for myself.
I want fun.

And money i can get it free... and i seriously dont need to pay.
I know things get expensive the upper i reach, but i can work at my own
And if i pay to the game, things become so easer to do
That all my "Rank up" fun will be gone
and i dont want to pay to do lockdown or vana forever
I want to pay
To have Fun.
And thats why im not going to pay for the game yet.
So, please, whenever you want to hear my plans, ask me...

( I think they will be of so much work... but, i dunno if you all care about a mere player like me ... =/)
But the problem is that... i tried to go on the support things to tell you all my plans some times.. and it never went to sucess
And i think it would be better so i can talk to a admin in private , as i think he will have many questions about the plan... And, i guess it will be faster to talk it in private... we wont be talking in circle so much i dunno... =/

If anyone ever is intersted in hearing my plans, Pm Enerflow.
Gl admins, and sorry. Good job...

(Apologises if i insulted anyone or anithing, its not my intention)

I'm apparently a notable gunner, but I'm F2P and don't ever get access to test server. I think it's nice that Three Rings awards this extra bonus to let people who have paid for the game try out content earlier. I won't complain about missing out because I'm F2P though. If this is anything like the shard bomb update, it'll come out within the next two weeks.

In the past, people complained a LOT about shard bombs during the test server process and AFAIK, they basically came in unchanged (and now shard bombs are among the least-used bombs in the game) and a lot of people were disappointed by that. I'm reading the test server feedback and I see that people are saying that the needleshot lines are imbalanced (too safe + too powerful); I'm more worried that kind of feedback will be ignored.

That said, suggestion forum.

very simple

It's very simple. For the game to survive, somebody has to spend money on it. For people to spend money on it, the game must offer them some value for their money. Paying players have to get some advantage over non-paying players. You'll have to accept this reality. Cheers.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

many players that pay are actually skilled players. if you look who is posting on the test server feedback subforum, many of them are known forum users, know how to play the game and what needed to be tweaked.

$5 in three months isn't that

$5 in three months isn't that difficult to come up with, if you're desperate to get on you can likely buy a prepaid Visa or something at a convenience store. I missed out on a lot of preview server things because it used to be $10 in the last month and spent a good portion of last year flat broke. :c

Free players are entitled to the game and all of the free content it brings, which is basically endless gameplay, especially if you're patient. As mentioned, this game has to make revenue somehow, otherwise how are they going to pay their artists and coders, server upkeep, etc? It's a small "thankyou" to players who ARE paying the bills. It sucks being on the side unable to preview, I've been there! But on the bright side, any progress earned on the preview server is going to be lost, but when you experience these shiny new items in the full game, you'll actually be able to earn and keep them. :D

and honestly, it's only up a couple days, and you're going to see the content soon enough. Letting paying players test out some stuff that developers might not think to test before releasing it to everybody is actually a pretty good idea - it's incentive to spend a little more money on the game, and they get free bug testing. ;)

btw, the game no longer has "mist energy," only regular energy, as a patch last July did away with that system entirely. The preview server has unlimited energy for the purpose of testing the new weapons only. It's not like I can mail myself unlimited energy in the full game or anything. It's all locked in and will be lost in a few days.

@Enlightnedsoul

I actually had a bigger post, but figured it wasn't worth posting it. The only thing I want to point out is this:

"(If the admins at LEAST hear what i have to say in private...)"

"But the problem is that... i tried to go on the support things to tell you all my plans some times.. and it never went to sucess
And i think it would be better so i can talk to a admin in private , as i think he will have many questions about the plan... And, i guess it will be faster to talk it in private... we wont be talking in circle so much i dunno... =/"

Do you really think that you're so much better than every other player that you can't use the Suggestions Forum to let your ideas be known? Also, don't use the Support Portal to give suggestions, that's meant for actual in-game bugs and problems :T

Justification

About the paying to get into the testing server. It's an incentive for people to pay. OOO needs money, like all those other threads say, the team is small and working on a pretty good game. Resources are limited. So the restrictions of the testing servers just for payers seems quite alright to me. Plus, being F2P, I know I'm missing out on this and I just don't let it get to me.

Flowchart

if you have a Steam account, buy TF2 keys from someone with energy, sell them on the Steam market and then buy a few boxes. There, now you're a paying player. (might need a certain age account to do it)

this thread..

the requirement to enter test server is not really a big problem~ maybe to make server less lag or something... but they should add other requirement like have been playing sk for 1 year or have ??? hour of playing, or someone might think ooo is money oriented --a
