Before anything else, let's go over the basics and essential points for a good beta experience. We can't say this enough: Remember to prepare and equip your character properly so they are saved on Monday for the maintenance in the morning on the following day!
You will be able to take part in the beta directly in the DOFUS Touch app once the button to take you there appears. Just like in the previous sessions, you will have the opportunity to share your feedback in a forum thread and on Discord specifically for the purpose.
WHAT IS A BETA?
The beta phase allows players to test updates before they're rolled out, so they can give us their views on in-game developments and help us identify any shortcomings.
This phase is a chance for us to fine-tune and improve how upcoming updates work by performing large-scale tests involving hundreds of players at once. These tests complement the ones we perform internally.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE BETA?
To access the beta, you just need to go directly to the DOFUS Touch app and click the button that appears during the beta period (and only during this period). This will take you from the regular game to the beta.
As a reminder:
- Characters are imported from the DOFUS Touch app at different times throughout the year. So don't be surprised if your character in the beta doesn't have their latest equipment, kamas, etc.!
- Actions you take in the beta phase will have no impact on the regular application or servers.
- Our team reserves the right to reset the server at any time.
HOW DO I GIVE FEEDBACK?
Testing Guidelines
When the team provides no specific test instructions, we encourage players to test a beta version using two different methods:
- Read the changelog and test the listed changes.
- Test the content and features that are not directly affected by the changes in the changelog to confirm that the update hasn't caused any unexpected side effects.
To facilitate testing, an NPC is located at the Amakna Village Zaap at [-2,0]. Talk to this NPC to buy various items related to the update being tested.
Communication with Staff
Players can communicate with each other and with the DOFUS Touch team via two platforms:
- the "beta" section of the official forum, only open during the beta period (so in just a few days!)
- the beta Discord channel
The forum is preferable because it's easier to track discussions there over time.
