Beta

is there some way to get Paragon Points in beta. I want to toy with street justice using the Beta

First rule of Beta.

Don't talk about Beta.

Second rule of Beta.

See first rule of Beta.

When they are Beta testing something, there are usually ways provided for testing that something.

Currently, they aren't testing the Paragon Market or Street Justice on Beta.

Test and Beta are not attached to a real billing system. You "buy" points, you don't actually buy points.

When you get to the purchase screen, click on "Update card on file" (or something close to that) -- you should see that there is a "credit card" attached that has the fake number "12345678"... and that part of your name/address may be correct but part will be incorrect. This is on purpose to show you that this isn't a "real" purchase -- buy points to your heart's content!

*I haven't logged into beta to see if this is still active. This is how it was during headstart. I uninstalled beta so hopefully someone else can test this method!

But is STJ available on Test?

Should be. It should have either the current patch or the next one being tested, which means SJ should be in there.

Thank you, I haven't bothered to install Test since I got a new computer, and since I took a break I was kinda confused between Beta and Test differences.

Test server is for testing the next patch to the live servers. It's always either the same patch or one patch (very occasionally, two patches) ahead of Live.

Beta server is for more dedicated testing, often closed beta testing (which is followed by open beta testing - which may or may not also be on Beta), e.g. Going Rogue and Freedom betas. It can be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than Test or Live, as it was during Freedom testing, though before I uninstalled Beta after the Freedom testing it was keeping pretty close patch-wise with Live (the same or one behind, basically matching Test - I don't know if it's still the same). Also, Beta isn't always available to log in to.

Thanks for explaining Aggelakis, Beta didn't exist when I left.

I was able to install Test in 5 minutes (copied the Coh folder to cohtest and updated with the shortcut from the launcher), unfortunately the market is down on test now. But thanks for the help!

Edit: weird someone said the test server was wiped, not only all my toons are there, some praetorian ones are too, and I know I never transfered anyone since I never had test after returning and buying GR, go figure

I think I heard someone say they copied Freedom to Test, do your characters on Freedom match? (might be a few days/weeks out of date)

You're right, not all my freedom toons are there because I bought lots of extra slots on Freedom and didn't do it on test (although strangely I do have two free slots on test so not all my old freedom toons were copied), but except for three I do remember copying a long time ago (which were on Freedom anyway), all the 'new toons' there are from Freedom, I have 5 lowbie praetorians and only the 3 from Freedom are there, the others are on Virtue.

You also could try creating a new character and see if Street is available for use. I heard it is, but didn't think to check that when I was on last night.
