What is FAZ Beta?
FAZ Beta is the next version of Allegiance currently under work by the development team. They strive to fix bugs and add features that players want, and in some cases, have wanted since Allegiance was first released.
The Development team is headed by the Development Zone Leader.
Why is it called FAZ Beta?
When Microsoft originally released the game there were two Zones players could play on, the Free Zone and the Allegiance Zone. FAZ stands for Free Allegiance Zone and represents the community driven evolution of Allegiance since MS dropped the game.
How does Beta affect me?
A major part of the Beta process is public "stress testing" of the new client in order to detect any bugs that were unforeseen and don't happen on the developers' computers. They are also used to provide community feedback on code changes that may affect game balance.
If you don't test the new client on your machine before it goes 'live' and then discover that the new version doesn't work for you ... sucks to be you. So make sure you do test it!
Besides, you get to try out all the new toys months before they're released!
How do I get a copy?
FAZ Beta test games are held every Wednesday on a seperate server lobby to normal Allegiance games. To play them you need to make sure you have the latest Beta client from the Beta Development forum and then either log in to ASGS after toggling the 'Beta' option, or use the new .exe file to log in - it depends on how much security the dev team is running with.
I want [insert crazy idea]
So do we all! But don't get too excited. The dev team has a whole list of Bugs/features that players have discovered/invented, and it's been slowly growing for the past seven years.
If you have a serious suggestion, add it to Bugzilla or post it up in the Development forum and if it's a good idea it'll be stuck on the 'To-Do' list.
What is being worked on currently?
The FAZ R4 Beta is going through the final stages of public stress testing.
