Actual beta testing mechanics by Perplexity

There is a lot to learn from these clips. I hope blizzard is paying attention.

Do these tactics work on the ā€˜private servers’ every streamer is talking about on the beta?

Him and Kraunz are testing a lot and are actually knowledgeable. Good streamers.

Lol perplexity is the only one actually testing stuff. He probably didn’t even get a inv. on a friends account. luckily we can see asmongold complain for 24 hours straight

I dunno; I just watched him, Esfand, and three other people clear Deadmines and it was quite entertaining. Asmon put in a bug report when the group found no water in the ship cave. It read something like ā€œTHER’S NO WATER IN HER LOLā€, I don’t remember exactly.

I gotta say that while he really is a good player, I’d likely be better at writing bug reports. But one wants to watch that, so…

Line of sight for melee attacks has always been a bit sketchy but the thing about hitting in the back, is that even a thing in retail? That’s really not good.

Holy cow (get it), some good actual testing right there!!

I think perplexity needs his own NPC in game right next to red shirt guy.

Yeah I can see that being annoying for warriors. Also, the rogue seems to have some issues with combo points.

These guys are testing the game because they already know they are top tier. They don’t need to race to ā€œWorld first level 30ā€ to prove anything.

I’ve seen these guys from TipsOut videos. They seem to know their stuff. Perplexity has amazing PVP videos. He’s going to be fun to watch in Classic.

They’ve also been around long enough and been involved in testing/bug reporting on private servers.

And they are testing the game because they care about Classic being done properly.

What is this ā€œgriefing not possible with sheepā€?

Unable to polymorph grey mobs apparently.

This means mages can’t be hilarious and polymorph mobs to heal them back to full hp

you could be a dick back in the day and sheep your non tag target, the grief is because sheep heals the target.

this could have larger implications, like this was a same faction example but what if it was a pvp scenario, could i not use any cc on the npc. Like fear it away, kill you and let the mob reset so i can kill it.

They also cant’ save people by polying mobs. This is blizzard meddling in things trying to prevent tears. Not good.

I expect this is just a bug. There looks to be a lot of wonky stuff in the beta thus far.
