Drakwald - Public Test Server.
Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2023 12:48 pm
For those of you who use the website to post feedback on the forums, you may have noticed something new on the front page...
We are currently preparing to launch our public test server, with the ability system implemented. This will be a large-scale test of the functionality of the abilities, how they work in tandem and hopes to identify any critical bugs. The current state of the system is good, we're happy with the feedback from internal testing, as well as help from our @tester group. We're preparing to now release this in a public environment to get some more information to work with.
The current plan is to release this test server to a small group, mainly to test how the new launcher operates (as it allows us to switch between dev, live, test etc with one button, as opposed to having multiple launchers installed). And on this we can test how the new server operates fundamentally. Then we will release this as an open, public server for all to hop in.
I appreciate updates have been slow whilst we have moved to this phase of the Ability System rework but it's not long now until you can log in and help us identify any issues before we go to a full release.
PS: As a reminder, this is not a balance release. There will be signifcant changes to balance, as a result of the ability system changing, but we are not shipping this as a balance rework - these will come following the release. (I hope that makes sense)
Drakwald is waiting... for a bit longer.
