HoSS Playtesting Guidelines

1. See the list above to see which figures are eligible to earn reward points.

2. Post in this thread that you are signing up for a playtest and the figure you are signing up for.

3. Send a PM to Splash, mac122, or Porkins to claim your playtesting slot. They will send you the text for card to be tested.

4. Figures must be playtested against official classic Heroscape units and released HoSS designs to ensure compatibility and balance. Since publicly released C3V and SoV cards have been tested against Classic Heroscape cards, these may also be used in testing.

4a. To paraphrase the C3V: You do NOT need to have the actual figures to use during your playtesting. What we most want are eyes on the design and balance of the units.

5. We recommend using BoV approved and C3G competitive maps. These maps are generally symetrical and have been extensively tested for balance.

6. Preferably, playtesters should use the Official Playtest Form to present test results. When playtesting, please make notes of any important or odd events: extremely good or extremely bad dice rolls, abilities that worked every time or never, abilities that were not used, etc. Blow-by-blow battle reports are not required on the playtest form.



Here is an example of a superb test:

We should probably find a place where we can keep track of playtests by those people that are not HoSS members. That way, we can use it to create a rewards program.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hey guys, I'm looking for some more Army Tests with Greedo. If you've already run him that is fine. Just Send in some Army Tests. Detailed reports please. (Mention how many times each power was used and what you think his point cost should be.) Send me a PM as usual for the stat block.

We should have something up for playtesting soon. Now that we are finished with the Master set, we are trying to nail down an outline for this set as well as set up our points and rewards (so you can get the rewards you deserve ;)).

Re: Heroes of Star Wars Scape Public Playtesting Thread

ANNOUNCEMENT

We are pleased to present our first post release design for playtesting.

Snowtroopers, also known as cold assault stormtroopers, were Imperial stormtroopers trained to operate in arctic climates. Some snowtroopers were deployed under Death Squadron's Blizzard Force, as well as other arctic forces. The snowtroopers were the successors of the clone cold assault troopers and the Galactic Marines under Clone Commanders Keller and Bacara, respectively, during the Clone Wars.

Post here to sign up to test the Snowtroopers and I'll get a PM your way.
 
Re: Heroes of Star Wars Scape Public Playtesting Thread

I would like to Playtest Snowtroopers!
 
Re: Heroes of Star Wars Scape Public Playtesting Thread

I would like to help with play testing, but the only current figures are the Snowtroopers and I have no snow terrain (I'm assuming they have snow based powers). As long as that is not a problem I would like to sign up to play test the Snowtroopers.

You could always playtest online. Then you don't need to have Snow terrain, you can just pick a map with snow.

PM sent, and testing them online, or using proxy snow would be fine. There isn't much point to testing them without Snow as you'll see.

Tests completed I just need to transfer written notes to the form. :) It may take a while.


EDIT: Too tired to finish form will finish tomorrow.
 
Re: Heroes of Star Wars Scape Public Playtesting Thread

Please PM all completed tests to Fi Skirata for the next 2 weeks.
 
Re: Heroes of Star Wars Scape Public Playtesting Thread

Belayed announcement of submitted test.

EDIT: This was my first playtest, so let me know how well I did so that I may improve. :)
 
Re: Heroes of Star Wars Scape Public Playtesting Thread

Sorry for the lack of playtest availability. We're working on getting some out here. Summer vacations and the release of our first Master Set have us in a slowed pace. We'll have some stuff for you soon. :D

Your playtest was great, Crixus. We look forward to you testing more units. :D
