Hey I know we always need people for a mass test but sometimes the numbers lack. So how about this, if we can get 500+ people for 3 mass tests, The dev staff has to take a group photo with all of them wearing traditional tartans.
Or better yet, singing HTFU permaband while wearing traditional tartans. You would get a ton of testers just for the opprotunity to see this.

Tartan is showing up as a pattern for me...

google is telling me tartan is a cloth pattern that looks very much like plaid to me.
I don't even know what is happening here.

Tartan is a woven pattern; most tartans come from Scottish clans, and are accredited to a specific clan (so all from the same clan would wear the same). As far as I know there really haven't been any icelandic traditional tartans; but if somebody knows otherwise please let me know. Also, were you meaning kilts, not tartan? If so the same really applies - as far as I know kilts aren't Icelandic dress.
But yeh, tartan is just a weave pattern - trust me, I'm Scottish.

Why should I do QA for something I have to pay for.
Give me 1 month free and out of that month I would spend 3 days of them doing some QA, deal?
Tartan sauce is the awesome sauce!

I would do QA in return for SP disbursement but I didn't know there was a problem getting enough pilots for mass testing.

Originally by: NatteFrost85 make it a lot easier to get to sisi and more people will join on the tests.
speaking from experience, I have wanted to log on sisi before but couldn't be bothered to figure out how. If it was a built in option to be able to log on from the normal client I think more people would check it out.

Tell me when to be there. |

There is a walkthrough for connecting to the test server in the test server feedback forum.
Next - why isnt it shared with the tq client?
SiSi is an experimental server with experimental serverside and client side patches. If you were to use the same client, you would not be able to log into TQ So to avoid killing your main eve and functions they have you make a copy of your eve folder to avoid that issue.
Reimbursement - you dont need sp seriously 1 hour out of yoru day is not worth 1 days worth of sp or a ton of isk, how ever if you have the skills, they do hand out faction ships to play with and if you join the testing alliance you can get super caps to play around in.
Most important this is for our benifit, and if you read the dev blogs they have been fixing a good portion of the client side stuff and are continuing to work on that and server side stuff to kill the lag.
X up for the raid against lag!

Heh, the CCP dev staff in kilts, it could be funny, maybe force Nathan to show up to work dressed as a viking the entire day and hold a meeting dressed as a viking.

A working autopatcher plus a manned moveme (or that awesome movemebot) channel would work best. At the moment you need a third party site to find the correct patch most of the time.

Maybe they could make the server lag really really badly during fleet fights? I mean such horrible lag that people affected would lose ships, or even be unable to load grids!
For serious: **** 'em. They don't want to log in? Don't bother. Let them moan on the forums, none of them have enough going on in their lives to fill the 12 hour a day hole quitting eve would leave.

I like the idea of having the devs post a fun pic or something if they get the people they need for the masstest.
To all the people saying, I want SPs if I help with thesting, I say to you....
If the only reason you would do it is for free Sillpoints, then you are really not the people that CCP are looking for.
If CCP offer SPs for testing attendance, then all they are going to get is a testserver full of AFK minmaxers.

And atm, we have a normal server full of AFK people (at least when two larger fleets meet).
I too wont consider coming unless I get smth in return. The promise of less lag during fleet fights is all nice and shiny but CCP kinda promised that for 3 years and all they did was release Dominion, which made it worse.

Easy. tell people about it. Send a mail out asking people to join Sisi and be there at a certin time on a certin date. Easy. Theres just not enough information given to players about whats going on in Eve. not just sis but everything.

Want more people to use SISi? Make it simpler to connect. Nobody wants to bugger about with instructions. Double click n go.

Who the **** cares about that? Don't you find enough pictures of men in kilts on the internet to satisfy your needs?
But here's a different proposal that could encourage people to go to the tests:
- Announce exactly one issue that will be tested
- Deliver a thorough follow-up on the test-resulst (not just a lol average FPS was 13.4)
- Deliver a patch the improves this one specific issue on the production system within a reasonable time-frame (let's say 1 month?)
By one issue I don't mean "Lag" that's not a issue you can actually work on. Something like "traffic control", "drones VS POS tower", "crazy catalyst", "tractor beam confusion", etc.
Best way to make people have faith is always "predict and deliver". But I guess that's too close to the "polish patrol team" the CSM suggested and thus we won't see that.

How about something like "You participated in a 1 hour test on Singularity, for spending that time helping improve the game here is X amount of X" Say game time, or SP, or ISK. Some real incentive to participate, and sort of a "thank you" for helping us find bugs.
Just saying :) [url=http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=RatKnight1][/u |

I have been on testserver a few times... but...
1) it's a struggle to make it to work 2) theres NO autopatcher that works, so you often has to download a whole new build.
For the above resons, i'd rather play EVE on the REAL server, instead of wasting a full day in order to set up a test build, that MAY work for a week... then you'll need to do it all over.
That the skills are a month or 5 behind, really doesnt help the situation. What I could use the test server for, is how to fit a ship i just trained for. That option is not available.
If CCP expect the regular players to visit test or help in a mass test, FIX the above, and there'll be more than 40 ppl on that server.
