Intro
Have you ever seen a suggestion that might work?
This what “Trial” events would essentially cover, where potentially minor BR/stat changes etc, can be quickly and easily tested by anyone on the platform.
How would this work?
Aside from the main game, there would be a separate game-mode. Here, the developers can alter various minor game details within this area. With a wide-scope player-base that can rapidly review these changes.
These smaller events would give the ability for the developers and the player-base a solid, realistic foundation to truly see how augmenting different statistics can impact the game real time. While keeping to a low-stakes and reversible environment the developers can open or close if/ when they wish to.
Why wouldn’t I just use the test server?
Test servers can be vital when experimenting with larger updates, but these “trial events” focus on smaller adjustments. On top bring these potential changes to the wider player-base (console players cannot download the test server).
Conclusion
With the introduction of “test” events, players will have the ability to try out smaller changes that could come to the main game. Developers would be able to gather real data in a set game-mode. Helping to give them direct feedback on any possible alteration.
