A/B Experiments

  • If I change the rules of an active A/B experiment, does it deallocate/reallocate users that are in the experiment?

  • When using the experiment variant NOT IN rule - does it include users who are not allocated to that test at all? Or only users allocated to that test, but not in the selected variant(s)?

  • Does the experiment variant rule still work if the selected experiment is inactive or archived?

  • If the player does not qualify for the rules on the experiment start date, but qualifies later when the experiment is still active, does the user get allocated to the experiment?

  • If an experiment starts for all users (old and new) on a set date, and the allocation is later changed to old users only, what would happen to players that install the game between these 2 dates and got included in the experiment?

  • If there is A/B experiment running which has been set to “inactive” and then it’s activated again, would Game Server redistribute the Variant ID, or the players that already got a specific variant ID, will stay? e.g. player A got variant ID 10, test gone inactive, then activate again, player A would still be in variant ID 10 or randomized again?


Level Banks

  • Why is there a restriction in how many levels can a level bank have when adding it to a journey?

Localisations

  • What happens if a translation is missing in a target language?

  • Can I use emojis in localisations?


Hawk Catalogs

  • How does a user qualify to receive Catalogs?

Hawk A/B Experiments and Allocations

  • If a player belongs to segment X and is allocated to an experiment with a catalog (or different entity) served to segment X, will the player still receive the served catalog from the experiment if they change to segment Y?

  • Does an experiment allocate based on the specified segment in the experiment or entity? For instance, if an A/B experiment is set for all players but the entity added to the experiment is only for a specific segment (like old players), are all players allocated there or only old players?

  • What happens, if experiment ends before the event/campaign ends?

  • My experiment is running between 01.12-31.12. On 07.12, I changed the the weight of Variant A from 5 to 0. What will happen with players that were already in Variant A?
