we only really use 500s in special circumstances .

Like pwning noobs in the arena https://youtu.be/RT_7FLZWHNM lmao
In all seriousness, the level 500s aren't used for testing. But it's always fun to see them show up! I see them in fights when there is a lack of tanks or druids. Otherwise, they leave the testing to the testers.

I'm not looking forward to it. Looks dismal. And Sahmaine is so pretty. Going to have to buy lots of Lix to keep warm and keep looking forward

So Esquilax killing the Monolith is special circumstance because beta testers can't do it.

I'd say it was a special circumstance. It was the night before beta shut down and there were only a handful of people on. So yes there was no way we would have killed it at that time. I wouldn't worry about that too much though. There was user testing done on it earlier in the beta.

Why can't OTM play normal level 220 characters rather than immortal level 500 ones with a nuke skill? Maybe we would have more realistic testing in beta.

How did they get lvl 500?!?!

Really cool! it is hilarious to see esq be like a level 500 boss.

I think you guys are missing the point of the concern over the level 500 OTM tester toons.
It is well known that no OTM employees have end game toons or play the game on servers, so the only way they can know whether or not they need to nerf/buff a boss or item is from player feedback or from what they experience on the beta server.

So when a boss on the beta server is un-defeat-able, but you guys can kill it with Esquilax's super OTM level 500 skill and then no one says anything about the strength of the boss, there is an issue. The issue is that this boss will get released like this to the servers, and there will be no OTM super toons to help you guys kill them.

This issue arises a lot throughout the game, regarding things like boss difficulty, raids, the low drop rates of high tiered loot and much more.

As players, we need to voice these concerns and have a realistic test environment that we can give feedback on, because this is the only way OTM will know what the game is truly like for end game players.

So yes, it is cool that we can fight a level 500 in the arena, but it is NOT fun that we can ONLY defeat a boss when that level 500 is there, because that means that on the live servers, that boss will never fall or it will fall very rarely which is NOT want anyone wants.

OTM clones active real players and their gear for testing purposes. They don't have the same experience in in using it, obviously, but at least they can know whats reasonable if they spend any time during internal tests. They also know what everyone has on worlds and can therefore tailor encounters. It's pretty hard though because it's the same encounter for the best equipped world and the least equipped (probably all still android atm) - not easy to do!

Muldar is on his way to end game, so we may not have too much longer (8mo-1yr?) before we have one officially.

Yes my rogue gets cloned all the time. I know it because everytime they do it I feel a part of me dissipating.
