No more lab rats

[fading sedge]

There should still be Labrats but no more cc Labrats so we have less annoying 8 years old getting in through that route.

[sly pasture]

kinda agree with this, kinda don't at the same time

i'm actually starting to resent lab tests because of how many labrats just hunt after devs or completely disregard their role

[jagged dust]

you’re telling me that the devs are just casually handing out lab rats permissions to people this frequently?

[gusty widget]

More labrats = the more bugs they can find

[fading sedge]

90% of Labrats don’t search for bugs

[modern canyon]

I mean yea but no

[fleet pawn]

I think they should just give out less, not just completely remove the chance for people to even get it

[gusty widget]

you don’t “search for bugs”

you find them as you go

Plus it would be unfair to other players that want lab rat

[fading sedge]

Point still stands many people don’t find bugs and many don’t report them.

[gusty widget]

So that gives them a reason to just delete labrat applications???

how would that be fair to other people

[fading sedge]

Do I want them to get rid of it entirely no, but I want them to get rid of for Content Creators at least because majority of them make Labrats look worse

[gusty widget]

oh alright

[gloomy cipher]

yalls just tryna gatekeep lab rat

[wet flume]

There are now 2 posts like this

[dense kelp]

Yes

There are a lot of people in the program now and I think it's becoming less of a privilege and a responsibility and just the majority of people not reporting the bugs and messing around.

Lab has also gotten more toxic especially with new lab rats. Sorry new people. Not all of you are bad but a lot are

[patent radish]

Yea but when you get banned your labrat goes away and people get banned all the time soo they need new labrats

[hollow steppe]

if your job is to test updates and thats what you want to do in lab then do it

don't stop other people from doing it

if someone is doing something bannable you can report them

[jagged dust]

Searching for bugs is technically possible through trial and error

just mess around with a feature enough and, under certain circumstances in testing, you’ll successfully find a bug

for example: falling from an extremely far height and then firing the new ||bazooka|| to test and see if the projectile will clip through you when you’re moving at high speeds

[hollow steppe]

this

[wicked mango]

No I want to be labrat and what if there are new people in the game who want it also I want to be labrat so I can acctually hunt for bugs

[ebon raptor]

They said "Labrat is for all and will NOT be limited time!"

[uncut halo]

more labrats = more people with early access to the update

and the more players with access, the less there are without

so at some point they'll have to stop giving labrat or the update will just pretty much release when the lab starts.

[gusty widget]

yeah I guess

[buoyant rune]

I say they stop giving Labrat to content creators

[uncut halo]

yeah

[buoyant rune]

To get labrat you need to apply no deal. To get content creator you have to apply no deal. But cc gets a 2 in 1 deal and we don't get anything else. Half the people that probably applied for cc weren't old enough for labrat so they apply for cc

[uncut halo]

you need to be 13+ to apply for cc as well.

[hollow steppe]

there's more players joining than players accepted for lr even though there's a lot

plus not everyone on yeeps has discord to begin with

sorry if i type badly my fingers are freezing

[uncut halo]

but when the game starts getting less new players every day, it will start getting more labrats than new players.

[hollow steppe]

then they accept less lrs

it's not written in stone how many they accept lol

[uncut halo]

as an ex reviewer, i can confirm that there is not fixed amount for people who can get labrat each applications.

this is not even reviewer only info how didnt you know 😭

[hollow steppe]

and still not everyone can sign up

[uncut halo]

reviewers just accept what they think fits in

[hollow steppe]

lmao cuz i thought that went without saying

why would they do it that way

that would be idiot and fart

ok ima go bc my fingers are turning purple rn

help

its so cold

[blissful crescent]

I think it wouldn’t make sense to completely stop adding lab rats, bc
• people would complain about it, since some people have been trying to get it for a long time, and it’d be unfair to just take away any chance of those people getting it
• since lots of lab rats don’t actually report bugs, getting more people that actually do it is important
• even if they add a lot of lab rats, more people join every day, so there won’t be a time where everyone is a lab rat.
It’d probably just be better to lower the number of people who get lab rat per application.

[uncut halo]

because it wouldn't be fair to have a perfect application denied due to too many other people being accepted, but then that same application gets accepted next time they apps open.

[echo shell]

I always thought they accepted around like 1/4 the appliers… eh makes more sense this way.

[uncut halo]

you cant "lower the number of people who get lab rat per application". there was never a maximum amount of accepted applications, and in theory if everyone submits a perfect application, it should be possible for every single one of those players to get labrat.

[blissful crescent]

Ah, true. I didn’t think about that lol

[uncut halo]

yeah exactly

[buoyant rune]

There was never a amount but when I look in announcement they usually say we'll stop at 1,500 (I think don't fact check me)

Nope it was 5000 lol

[uncut halo]

the more someone tries to get labrat, the more times he gets denied.

the more times he gets denied, the higher the chances to get accepted is.

if everyone tries enough times, it should actually happen, and its even more likely to happen than you think it is!

so yeah at some point there will be more new labrats than new players so they have too stop when it happens

[nimble reef]

If anything there isnt enough lab rats. Everytime I join the test the servers are completely dead

[abstract path]

That doesn’t seem fair at all and lab rat isn’t supposed to be exclusive

[abstract path]

That’s true

[abstract path]

What did cc players do to you

[nimble reef]

The only reason someone would want this is just to make lab rat less available so that they can feel more special. Its enough to play an update before release.

[nimble reef]

Cc labrats are an advertising strategy. Its the devs way of building up hype for the new update

[frail kindle]

Yea

[full summit]

fr

[urban basin]

How would we know if the updates cheeks of fire lol💀💀💀

[normal sluice]

Idc

[dull sapphire]

We should get one final wave of cc lab rats

[hollow steppe]

💀 💀 💀

[normal sluice]

It’s my opinion

[hollow steppe]

💀 💀 💀

Buddy only speaks with emojis

[edgy pollen]

You see, this would be the MOST possible power divide we LRs could have.

[sly pasture]

goods:

• lab hopefully transitions to look less like public world
• the lrs that are causing issues get removed
  bads:
• not really fair tbh
• kinda creates divide
• less bugs found as less lrs find intrest in game

[hollow steppe]

you also didnt mention that the second positive happens anyways in due time

[gusty widget]

Well start locking this post 😊
