Changes for PTB

Hey everyone,

I've always been thinking how inconvenient playing on PTB server is. Mainly when there's a new chapter release and two new characters added to the game. With new perks and powers to test, You'd want to jump into the game right away and try out many different things, right?

But sadly, You often find Yourself run out of Bloodpoints and either playing almost perkless Killer or unable to test new combinations of old and new perks. So You start grinding to remedy this situation. And grinding on a temporary server is no fun and waste of time in my opinion, as all Your progress will be erased anyway. And all the time You spend on PTB could've been used more efficienly on live servers.

That's why I thought of two solutions to ease the grind, for PTB only:

1) Permanently enable 2X/3X/4X etc. Bloodpoints on PTB. Not sure how it works on technical side, but I think PTB servers are separate from live servers? So in theory You could change BP gain on PTB servers only, without affecting live as well.

This solution has a drawback however. After experiencing wonderfully fast BP grinding on PTB, players may have hard time adjusting back to normal after returning to live.

2) Creating special PTB Tome in Archives. This Tome would only appear in PTB, and would consist of missions like "Repair 1 Generator" (reward: 1 million BP, 50 Rift Fragments), "Damage one Generator or destroy one pallet" (reward: 1 million BP, 50 Rift Fragments). This also has an advantage of being able to complete new Rift in PTB faster to check out new cosmetics.

As a drawback, I imagine devs could accidentally import PTB Tome to live servers, destroying game's economy.

    One solution for ptb would be to give a million points or infinite bloodpoints, or fully unlock everything on everyone (or at least on the new/reworked characters)

    For some reason they can`t. Probably bc they just upload a save from main client and that`s it

    They could then run that through an editor and give everyone max points or 10 million if they can edit over the max cap, or just set every flag to 1 to turn on everything?

    Or yeah have the ptb run a bloodhunt that gives 100x the ammount of points or something ridiculous like that. Because if you spent all your points when they made the copy then you won't be able to unlock anything unless you test in kill your friends..

    in a perfect world, there would be nothing wrong with this. Except this world is not perfect and evil people would bring Ebony mori's and keys to every match with the influx of points instead of testing the actual content meant to be test by the PTB

    true

    then just unlocking the new/updated character's perks to max level along with a few of each offering for testing purposes.
