I do understand that Bermuda and Alpha are for testing .
but what am I goint to test if a top ranker decicdes to "test" on my account and erases 2 years of my daily effort ?
I would love to freely participate in combat testing if I had unlimited resources and unlimited Dark Matter.
but that's not the case, the only way to protect my account is vacation mode. not much testing done there.
Friendly request 
Please put back the no attacks mode, we want to play friendly with friends.
too much time and effort was put in our accounts to be wasted by attacks from ultra strong players at the top.
Maybe give us the choice, if we want to participate in testing attacks, raids or other combat related matters.
we only want to enjoy developing our game safley.
thanks
So tomorrow the (12-5-4) version is expected on live servers
https://board.en.ogame.gameforge.com/index.php?thread/855015-january-15-version-12-5-4/
Here is the changelog (annonced for live servers)
- Fixed combats with an extremely high amount of ships not being calculated or not being calculated properly
- Raised the amount of possible characters to 4.000 for chat messages
- Fixed the tactical retreat text being wrong in combat reports when the defending fleet has fled
- Fixed class names in reports being displayed in server language rather than user language
- [OGM]Now supports images getting displayed in messages
- [OGM]Added info about lifeform buildings and lifeform researches to espionage reports
- Fixed missing image for the anniversary avatar from the season unlock
- Fixed the text field inputs not being properly clickable for the large shield dome inside the Combat Simulator
Does this mean that testing is over and that we are getting closer to the previous No-Attack status on Alpha & Bermuda ?
I just logged in ... attacks are still allowed 
Thanks a lot for your input, it is very much appreciated .
to say the truth I first joined Bermuda to precisly be a tester and be ahead of other players in discovering what game forge has prepared for the rest of us.
I was truly excited when achievements and avatars where tested on the server, with task/reward event that gave some life to my game.
Sadly this hasn't been the case for a very long time and a lot of new stuff and events have been immediately implemented to live servers like the artefact shop event, and just recently the P17 asteroid events. So what exactly are we testing if most of the updates are bachground improvements not really visible to us.
I'm not much into combat and what I really like about the game is the strategic and growing aspect, so I really won't be excited to beeing annihilated by a player 100 times stronger than me just to test the combat simulator.
I also Joined Alpha and managed to out grow my original account, I even tripled my points, a lot of time and effort was poured into that, so saying that I can recopy my original account doesn't really make sense to me :).
Again thaks for your input and intrest .
it was announed on this forum and on Ogame discord
I don't usually check the forum but you can't miss discord notifications
yeah
I was raided last night , thankfully with no big damage.
maybe a warning in the lobby before logging into the game or at least an ingame message would have been nice.
for me vacation mode is activaed untill no attack is restored.
As for until when, there's no date, as long as we see that it needs to be tested.
I guess there is no time frame for that.
essentialy they need to test the combat simulator to detect bugs or errors and fix them , and then maybe we will go back to no attacks status.
I read that the bashing system will be instaured on Alpha and Bemuda :
I tried spying on active players on both servers and it's not possible, so my question is : Are attacks allowed again ? if so, for how long ?
I wouldn't want to see all my fleet crashed just for the sake of testing the combat simulator.
12.5.0-beta3
The combat calculation has been adjusted to handle a higher number of ships. This is the first step in a continuous improvement of the combat script. For a few days, the Combat Simulator may show unusual results, but it will also be updated to match these changes before the live release.
This is the time to try out the epic Alpha battles with those accounts you have there!
Please be aware that the Bashing system will be adjusted on Alpha and Bermuda to 6 attacks per 24h. In case you want to prevent it, please set vacation mode.
Hi all
Last event took place on Bermuda was the Task reward event on septembre 2024.
Is there any plan to propose something similar ? it would be nice for the few of us who are still active on Bermuda.
thanks in advance
