i assume he wants people giving feedback to not use cheat codes so the feedback they give is from the perspective of a "normal" player trying the stat and mechanic changes rather then someone who used cheats skipped the grind? to get an idea of how balanced the stat changes are (though it probably wouldn't help him much if the people giving feedback used cheats in the previous build and thus don't have a feel for how the grind used to be before the change?)
You know, you could just ask that kind of feedback rather then forcing the game which got a horrific progress with locked gates and very hard quests, right? And if you will test something, you need info. What is doing what? What is changed? What should I look? How can I know it's working at all?I think the intention in this case is to test out how the new Traits and Status work, as they have been reworked. And if everyone goes, set everything to "world level 5", they won't be able to tell if X quest to unlock the next keystone is easy to do or not. This is the "testing" branch, after all.
You are very optimistic, night people..
