Communication Channels for SC Alpha PTU 2.0

Hi everyone,

 

We've got a few channels in which we will start providing Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 PTU information.

Initially, we were planning on a smaller, closed test, but we immediately opened it up to allow livestreaming and screenshot sharing, plus added more groups of testers. Starting with this next update, we'll be hitting all of these channels starting with the next patch, and we thought we'd provide an overview of what you can expect from us plus all of the links you need.

 

What you can expect:

• For important service-wide announcements, we'll now be making posts in Live Service Notifications here in the forums, on Reddit, and in the new #announcement channel in Discord.
• We'll now be making Patch Notes available on both the RSI site via the Live Service Notification forum and on the PTU site.
• For communicating with other playtesters, we strongly encourage that you use Discord.
• The best way to report 2.0 PTU bugs and game feedback is the PTU Issue Council.

 

Links:

-- Discord Text/Voice Chat: https://discord.gg/0dOJaNbubQie6CZN

Discord has been a very useful tool for working with players and sharing information in realtime. We'd love for you to join us there as it's the best way to communicate on testing status and goals, plus in coordinating with your fellow testers. We're quite active there, and we've created a channel specifically for PTU updates called #announcements there for official updates.

 

-- PTU Issue Council: https://ptu.cloudimperiumgames.com/community/issue-council

The PTU Issue Council is the place to provide all bugs and game feedback gathered during 2.0 PTU testing.

 

-- Live Service Notifications: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/categories/live-service-notifications

The Live Service Notifications category is where we'll post info on patches and updates. We previously had not been using this since PTU 2.0 was initially going to be a small test group. However, we've opened it up to quite a few players now and it makes sense to treat this as a full service publish. Inside each post will have the link to the latest full patch notes.

 

-- Reddit Star Citizen: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/

Reddit has been a very helpful instrument in relaying and extracting information, and is especially helpful to us in gathering information quickly on an isolated topic.

 

-- RSI Forums: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/categories/ptu-feedback

We have left up the Test Pilot HQ 2.0 PTU Feedback category on our forums as some players prefer to congregate there. We'll make sure that we post important information here from now, but most of our limited time we have to gather info is spent on other channels. We'd like to encourage players to use Discord when possible, and to use the PTU Issue Council to share bug reports and game feedback.

 

-- Patch Notes

We'll now be publishing our full Patch Notes on both the regular RSI website and the PTU site.

 

Thanks and have a great day!
