Guild Wars 2

It’s something a number of MMOs do these days. Have a dedicated server that gets content and patches first, for larger scale bug testing from the player base.

Anet have any plans for this? Not saying it is the best system, but just curious. Not sure how it would work with WvW. Probably be left out.

it’s redundant. bugs found in the live server after a recent patch could always be patched anytime depending on the priority and rollbacks can be done if the bug is a game breaker.

probably not considering it would allow for players to exploit the live game economy from information gained on said test server.

unfortunately though, in protecting this precious economy, hosting these super secret tests has made major parts of this game suffer for it.
