It wouldn't be hard. All they need to do is run a set of players with the VA or SA against a group of players that don't.

This wouldn't tell them how the SIM works or anything special, it would just tell them whether or not the specific VA or SA actually works.

There are tons of people saying right now that Pass Rusher doesn't work, which I tend to agree with. To me, that's a pretty big fucking deal. I pay for this game with actual money, I would expect that these things that I'm paying for actually work as specified. But the reality of it is, none of this shit is actually tested out, it's just slapped together at the last minute.

What they're not supposed to be able to test, is min-maxing a certain SA or whatever. I'm not asking them to do that. I'm just asking to make sure that it works, I don't think that should be over their boundaries.

People wouldn't freak out if the testers actually reported back what they learned. People only freak out when they just keep the information to themselves, which is basically what's been happening. All they have to do is be a little open and honest about what they are learning, and the public wouldn't have much of a problem with it. But as it is now, nothing is being reported, which means they're just keeping whatever info they have for themselves, which is what everyone predicted when this whole thing went public.


Yes you are right, we are keeping all of the information to ourselves.

HA

Fucking douche bags.

Can't test VAs, huh?

They aren't trying to be mean dude. Just chill out. Bort wants to keep some mystery and that's what they are protecting.

Of course it can be tested. What would cause a shitstorm is if it were tested on the sly, with no public announcement of the test. Following and monitoring tests is a fucking pain in the ass for non-testers, and I know of less than a a dozen people who even bother.

If, however, VAs and SAs were tested with each test being announced and disussed in a sticky on the main forum, there would be no shitstorm. Rejoicing would be the much liklier outcome. At least until the results are out and we finally have confirmation that Shed Block, Pass Rusher, Second Wind etc donīt work. THEN all hell would break loose.

imo testing if a VA/SA does anything is unit testing and really should be done by glb internally

but it is a little disappointing that people pay so much money to spend points in SAs/VAs and the resulting effects are so minor/invisible that they start wondering if the VA/SA even does anything
