The Outward 2 playtest has begun and a selected number of players were invited via an email.
Thank you everyone that registered! As a reminder, the playtest will be available from December 9th to December 15th. If you are one of the lucky ones to have received a key, we need you to stress-test the online infrastructure. That's why we sent by email 2 separate keys; one for you, and one for your co-op partner.
In case your partner is not available when the urge to launch the Outward 2 playtest comes up, there is the G.E.P program to help you find another Good Energy Player!
What is this program?
The G.E.P program is a Discord based matchmaking system. Perfect to go on an adventure as a duo! Dying solo is fun but dying together is better. Whether you’re new to Aurai and need help navigating or just want a fun time, the G.E.P program is what you need.
Awesome! I'm in. How does it work?
Join the Official Outward Discord server.
Then, register using the /Register command in the gep-chat channel. This will create a card with your information on it.
Example of a player card:
Next, post your card in the G.E.P board using the /Beagep command.
Another G.E.P browsing the cards in the gep-board channel will then be able to join your session by clicking on the ''Join this GEP'' button under your card.
The bot will then match you together in a Discord thread with a unique session code and password. The GEP that created the card will be the one to start the session in Outward 2!
Note: Please make sure both of you play on the same server region. The feature will be implemented soon on your GEP profile.
Once your session is over, use /ThanksGep to end the session and rate each other. A good rating will earn you XP and allow you to eventually level up on the G.E.P ladder and become a trusted Good Energy Player in the community.
Disclaimer: We are not responsible for inconsiderate players stealing your backpack or any other inconvenience. We trust everyone will be respectful and fair. If you experience a negative gaming session, rate the person accordingly and notify a mod.
