freethink 984 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Someone posted this suggestion in the experimental thread so all credit to him when I find the post. It had been on my mind. BUT anyway wouldn't it be an idea for you guys to have a private hive on experimental just to catch the issues specific to private hives? There were very specific issues with private hives in .55 that weren't acknowledged/accepted until a long time after they were obvious to private hive players/owners. I'm not asking for an invite but what harm would it be having a proper whitelisted private experimental hive that you invited the staff, mods, streamers/youtubers onto to test. Like wobo testing your private exp shard has got to be a boon. Maybe invite people who own private hives as a thank you too?

Tatanko 5591 Posted May 8, 2015 So let me make sure I have this right: you're suggesting an invite-only, whitelisted, private hive server for Experimental? While I do understand that your intention is to test things specific to private hives, it comes across sounding like a VIP Club. I know you're not suggesting it for personal gain (you made that clear), but it does kind of come out sounding like a good ol' boys club. Even though your intentions are pure, I think it would do more harm than good were it to operate in the way that you're suggesting. As an alternative, there could be private hive servers that simply run the Experimental build just like the official servers do now. I can see how the dev team would be opposed to that idea too though, given the volatile and sporadic nature of Experimental. It would likely cause some big issues with the server providers in terms of agreements and finances. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would likely cause some big issues with the server providers in terms of agreements and finances. I don't care if it's invite only/whitelisted/blacklisted or a free for all private hive. I just think a private hive should be in experimental and they should use it to test the various scenarios private hive owners deal with or are likely to deal with. Private hive owners pay out a good chunk of change and they were more adversely affected by the last update than public hive servers so all I'm suggesting is some sort of experimental test of the private hive system. Maybe whitelist it but have it open to all? I dunno. I think we get the idea. I'm not saying let's have an elite etc. Invite everyone on here and reddit, whitelist them. Test shit out.

Scarcifer 102 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Soooo I'm not sure how this happened(so there's no way to duplicate it),but it did http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=439479765 Has anyone else have this occur?

Test shit out.I know, I just think it would come across that way if it were invite-only. They would definitely want to avoid anything resembling an exclusive club. The basic idea you've got is good though in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The basic idea you've got is good though in my opinion. Yeah the mistake I made was elaborating:D Should just posted the gist and moved on. Not my idea (private exp shards) as mentioned either but a good idea imo and I think it would give a bit of love to the private shards in a time where they maybe feel like they've had a bit of a rough ride recently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's not to block ppl it's only to fix issue from the private hive too, nothing else Have a nice day guyz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
