I have both CoH Subscriber Beta and CoH Test prompting for updates on my NCSoft Launcher - my questions are: 1) do I even need the CoH Test anymore, or can I uninstall it? 2) if indeed I can uninstall the CoH test because it is defunct, why is it prompting for an update download? Thanks  |
Beta is for just that. Beta, mainly for issue-based content.
Test is for testing out things like seasonal events, costume packs, etc. Essentially non-issue content. And usually shortly before it goes to live, so people can help find the remaining "wrinkles" and get them ironed out.

Cool, good to know. Thank you.

Yeah, think of Test as a place to see what would happen to a live toon if you made change X. Where as beta is a look into the candy store as their filling the boxes.
Um... Test isn't a Live server. It's the Test server. o.o
Anyway, I say keep Test installed for testing purposes (making a new character to see if you like it, doing a respec, etc.). And if you PvP, that's where they tend to hold the events, so all can partake, regardless of server.
And if they ever decide to do another closed beta, you'll still have Test.

No it's not Live per say, but it's a place to 'test' what's live and what they're trying to iron out in current stuff.

True. I suppose it's better to say it's a Copy of Live...?

Where can I go to see patch notes and or a forum on what's current on subscriber beta?
First, please don't necro old threads.
When you are logged in with a VIP account, the beta forums should be visible at the top of the main forum index: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/index.php
