View Full Version : Legends of Kaos Alpha tester signup thread

Update: The game has reached Open Beta status, just sign up using the registration page! It is listed here:http://www.legendsofkaos.com/registration/main

Long time no see forum users. I know Damon made a post a couple of months back but I figured I would make a new one for this. Legends of Kaos (http://www.legendsofkaos.com) will be launching to alpha tomorrow and although it will be a limited list of testers, I'll add a few of you at a time to the alpha tomorrow when it goes live.

So, send me a private message here with your email address and make a post in this thread if you feel it's necessary. Odds are the folks I've seen posting most will be most likely to receive invites over new members (thems the breaks! but I'll be sure to invite a few new members to be fair)

I hope it doesn't need clarifying, but I absolutely will NOT be sharing this email with anyone, period. It goes on our alpha mailing list, no where else. I'll add a few of you tomorrow morning when I get in to the office and based on the number of responses I receive and our personal needs, will add more occasionally. Please check spam email folders in case it doesn't make it to your email box. I will send a forum PM tomorrow to those who should be receiving invites, but will probably not continue doing that for future invites, so if you fall in that category check your spam folder because you never know.

Feedback given in threads on this forum will be read by me if they're labeled appropriately, but I'm incredibly busy with production so I may not have time to respond! I promise I'll read it if I see it.

There are more eyes on the bug feedback forms on the official page, so I recommend using those as well, especially if you can be precise.

Thanks for being patient guys, I know we have incredibly long stretches of time without updates, but things have been very busy around here. The guys in this office have really been working hard so now we need you guys to show us what you can do. Feel free to tell me how you hate it, how it's stupid or how you think it's the worst game ever! Just tell me why at some point =)

Good stuff, the website has me very intrigued.

And you guys just win for calling the market a bazaar!

Now for some speculation :p From what i can see on the website it looks like legends of kaos isnt really a full blown MMO, but just limited to combat, maybe or, maybe not linked to the real kaos war...

Im guessing, you fight, win money, buy new weapons, and then fight someone better, win money (or items), by new weapons.

Either way i cant wait to see how the combat works :D (if i get in).

Oh an a question, are we allowed to take videos and screens?

yes but the models were also for Kaos Wars NOT Legends of Kaos read the page on the legends of kaos sight its saying that its a....how should i say this....ah a prequil to Kaos wars so its completly diffrent. im guessing its a browser based arena gladiator thing. just a guess though.

I mighta understood you wrong. But the models damon showed us in the other thread were definetly not for the full blown game, 1.) the thread was called private alpha and 2.) the models are to a far lesser quality than those seen in the screenshots.

EDIT:

Oh and it is a gladiator thing. It takes place in sanctuary, it says so in one of the news items.

Few things:

Those of you without invites I will get around to the rest in due time.

Battles vs Spars: Battles give you a bonus of xp and (in the future) will be the only thing counted for win-loss ratio. Spars are instant action, and currently that is your best method of doing some fighting.

Submit bug reports by clicking on any yellow ? helper popup and inputting what's wrong.


Animations are all placeholders, and there's no hair. We don't need bug reports for that =)

Anything you post in these forums will be read by me, so feel free to start a thread or two devoted to LoK and talking about it. We'll constantly be monitoring the game and balancing things, so your feedback is very important to us.

Thanks guys

I made a thread if you want to use that.

And currently it seems kind of unfair, because you didnt do me any damamge and i didnt do any to you.

The reason you won was because i have a lower default hp :(

Are there any restrictions as to what you can tell us, amz?

amz181
06-19-2009, 06:14 PM
I dont think so.

Basically, its just a create your character. No customisation as of yet, just male or female, all human.

You then choose one of 3 classes. Magic, Melee or ranged.

You put your desired character name and etc.

Then once you characters completed, you go to the inventory page called chamber. Basically, just a 3d representation of your char, and a drag and drop with the items which are icons, like a typical mmo. And when you drop, your character changes so he'll be wearing the armour, or wielding the sword you just equipped (not working for me though lol).

The actual combat isnt done by you at all and is entirely stat based. You just click on someone, battle them, then a page comes up with a battle replay, which shows your 3d representation fighting the enemys 3d char (this doesnt work yet either :p). And below this battle replay it a log of the battle turns. So like

Amz does a blunt attack on reddo, Amz misses
Reddo does a blunt attack on Amz, Reddo does 10 damage

And so on and so forth. If youve ever payed the online game "my brute" it is very similar to that. http://mybrute.com/

Then theres the Bazaar which is your average market (except with an awesome name). You can search, set the paramaters so you can fidn the right armour/weapons for you.

Thats about it.

I read all the posts so far. Now I'm just waiting for one from Will saying he's sending out more invites. Or at least one to me.

SnipingAngel
06-19-2009, 06:50 PM

jeez if someone like chewy with his 1000+ posts and his membership since 2006 hasnt gotten an invite yet i can probably assume i will never see or play this game, oh well you win some you lose some

SnipingAngel
06-19-2009, 07:38 PM

Its taking a while to load for most people so see wat you can do with it lol.

Yep, I'm noticing the slow loading times. I use Firefox by the way.

SnipingAngel
06-19-2009, 07:54 PM
I think i found you chewy xD.

06-19-2009, 07:55 PM
You probably have. I gotta spend some time looking through the items. And waiting for it to load at times.

SnipingAngel
06-19-2009, 08:10 PM
yea tha loading is all part of the alpha i guess.

Will
06-19-2009, 08:11 PM
Yeah it's really slow. I'm checking the server usage graphs and they're off the charts. Looking in to what we can do.

SnipingAngel
06-19-2009, 08:33 PM
Thanks for checking on the speed thing will.

LOL i just owned Amz with my massive blade lvl of 4

awesome. i can't wait to try this game out! i've been waiting for like a year and a half! lol. hopefully i'll be chosen for alpha :confused:... since i have nothing to do.. lol. (hopefully active members applies to KWSN as well? cuz that's where i've been)

I'll add new players when the internal server error is fixed and we figure out what is necessary to upgrade the server.

having some latency issues? that could be a number of things :confused:

Will
06-21-2009, 02:16 AM
It's true, and it's not that I'm discounting any of your suggestions, but we are using a server which we intended to upgrade as soon as we ran in to this issue. It's really quite slow (single processor, 1.7g RAM). It has certainly changed some of my thought process on some of our SQL hits. Things like "Legendary Rivals" and "Suggested Opponents" take a fair bit of calculation and are fairly SQL heavy, so I might revisit them and try to optimize.


Edit: Game seems to be functioning after a fix I made. I used this opportunity to invite some more users. Send another PM if you do not have an alpha account yet and I'll see what I can do.

Seint
06-21-2009, 03:02 AM
woo! glad to be a part of the alpha. gotta bear through the wait times! but it'll all be worth it =)

Nice alpha has started, now to wait for invite.

SnipingAngel
06-21-2009, 12:18 PM
Works fine for me now. Sad thing is I have no one to fight but Django because of their lvls. I was also able to spar with achewyrock dost that mean his char is no longer broken?

06-21-2009, 01:48 PM
yay im in

SnipingAngel
06-21-2009, 02:06 PM
Dang its slow again. Oh well nothing we can really do expet for wait till they get it onto a new server.

06-21-2009, 02:28 PM
Uhmm...
I try to register an account but i see only this error:
We're sorry, but something went wrong.

We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.
(If you're the administrator of this website, then please read the log file ".log" to find out what went wrong.)

Account is done.

Server is under an enormous load. I don't recommend wasting your sunday trying to play. Later at night was reasonable for me. Hopefully, we'll get an upgrade so we can all enjoy the game later this week.

SnipingAngel
06-21-2009, 02:58 PM
And mabey by then someone will have caught up to me so i actualy have compitition when i fight people. But thanks for the news about hopefuly getting a server upgrade sometime this week.

Just found out you have to have 2 peices of the same quality and matierial with the same enchantment on it for the enchantment to kick in. Thought some of you guys might wana know taht.

Seint
06-21-2009, 10:18 PM
alright. well i logged into alpha & then read your post about not trying to play till the upgrade, so i'm going to waste my time on diablo 2! woo. lol.
Will please let us know if & when the server is upgraded.

Will & team I was wondering if it's possible to make more than 1 character at once to test out different styles. I've looked around a bit on legends of kaos and I can't find anything on it.

Ziegler
06-23-2009, 08:21 AM
Good to hear it is coming along and making improvements.

Keep us posted on how it's going.

a chewy rock
06-23-2009, 11:17 AM
Seint, you can make additional characters by clicking the character silouette under your characters picture on the left side bar. It should say Manage Characters when you mouse over it.

Seint
06-23-2009, 02:33 PM
alright, thanks a lot chewy! expect to see me beat you... eventually.. lol.

edit: wtf is with jimmy's character? seriously it's gone up over 10 ascension ranks in under 2 minutes... I've been reloading the page with his character info on it and its going up non-stop.
(I clicked on him a bit ago at ascension rank 112... now he's 128 and it's been about 4 minutes)

edit 2: it's been about 2 hours since my last edit.. he's now level 254. Is the dev team testing something out or something?

He found a exploit, which he reported to Will, so im guessing thats why.

jimmy6154
06-23-2009, 07:18 PM
yup, correct. I'll let Will post here what it was if he so wishes.

polarisdrivr
06-23-2009, 07:50 PM
is it by chance the exploit i already found and reported a few days back but decided not to abuse?

jimmy6154
06-23-2009, 07:54 PM
/ouch... I got no idea...

I expect my char to be reset sometime soon. So I wouldn't worry to much about it. This is Alpha so I would also assume all characters would get a reset before the next phase.

Good solid advice ;)

We're doing our best to keep the data live, it's good practice. Nothing planned immediately but as long as people aren't abusing the system we don't want to unless we have to.

06-23-2009, 08:15 PM
Theres no reason for a reset atm. Alphas are for testing!

06-23-2009, 09:37 PM
Ah I see. Well good job finding that jimmy! =P

Will
06-24-2009, 05:04 PM
We'll be reseting accounts later today, and in the mean time I'm going to sign up the people I missed prior. If you still don't have an alpha invite in another hour or so let me know.

Could use a great deal of testing for the various abilities, now that tactics work. Likewise, suggestions for new conditions for the tactics would be useful.

a chewy rock
06-24-2009, 05:36 PM
I'll be sure to test out the abilities since tactics will be working properly. I'm sure I'll have quite a few questions as well.

Will
06-24-2009, 06:39 PM
they work properly on new characters right now, if you want to try them out. Just not your old ones, we need to remove existing tactics and generate new ones. Not hard to do, really.

Seint
06-24-2009, 07:59 PM
Can we expect everything to be gone by tomorrow morning? If so I'm not going to bother trying out tactics yet.

Will
06-26-2009, 02:25 AM
New build is up, characters have been wiped. Play away, folks! I need tons of data on the abilities/tactics, especially. Sorry it took so long we had some critical bugs that we didn't want to ruin your play experience.
