Test Server for Alpha v0.17 is now Live!
Added 2020-10-06 05:15:12 +0000 UTCHello Patron friends!
The test for Alpha v0.17 is live!
Please be sure to read the changelog in game (or below) to get a rough idea on what has changed, and what I still need to do.
You can access the test server here:
(DESKTOP) https://test.melvoridle.com/
(MOBILE) https://test.melvoridle.com/index_mobile.php
Be sure to login following the link provided when you reach the page. Once you are logged in, it will then ask you to link your Patreon Account. After this is done, you will have access to the server!
PLEASE READ THIS
- This update focuses on reworking two core systems in the game, so the "content" part of this update is minimal.
- Be sure to read the "TODO" list at the bottom of the changelog
- The Test server is slower than the actual game, so just give it time to let you in.
- The Test server saves are different to your main game, you can play both at the same time without conflict.
- Yes, you can transfer your save from the Test Server to the live game when the update drops.
- Remember, the test server is not the final product. Things will change, balances will be made, Golbins will be massacred.

I've combed through and squashed as many bugs as possible, so hopefully the transition is smooth.
Thank you for your patience on this one. This was by far the hardest update I've ever done. It went through many, many planning stages, completely different iterations, and even an entire "redo". Hoping to get this update out very soon, and then smash out the v0.18 update shortly after!
Thanks
Malcs

Hi Malcs, I seem to be having the same issue as Anthony was with the Wheel spinning. I have connected Patreon to my Melvor Idle account however it is showing "Connectedο½Active Patreon (No Tier)" in the settings. I believe that I am in the "Supporter" tier however I am new to Patreon so may have missed something! Any suggestions as to what is wrong/ how I can fix this?

2020-10-13 20:45:06 +0000 UTCHey Anthony! You definitely followed the steps correctly to gain access. If it doesn't error out after a few seconds, and is still stuck after a minute, then something may be blocking the connection to Pateron. It may also be a case of requiring to cache the website on first load, which can take some amount of time if its your very first visit. Let me know if you still have troubles after 30 or so minutes of not being able to get in. Also see if you can load the mobile version of the test server.

2020-10-07 03:57:39 +0000 UTCI'm not having any luck loading the test server on desktop. I followed the instructions and successfully linked my Melvor account to Patreon, when trying to load the game I just get "checking test server access..." and a spinning wheel indefinitely. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
