Upcoming Plans for 0.2.0g

There is a fine line between "early access/beta" and calling it that.

Early Access/Beta means:
1. regular updates (bug fixes, content addition, etc)
2. regular tweaking to the server (restarts, database fixes, etc)
3. full engagement of the dev team (CSR visits in game, when there is an issue to verify)
4. fixing something broken, causes something else to fix, rinse and repeat
5. being engaged with the user community daily/weekly and not having long blackouts with communication

Those are just 5 simple criteria.

What I am seeing is a game that was released under a beta moniker, but is actually released like a full game.

1. Devs reluctance to make adjustments (mid-league)
2. Slow-rolling fixes, with very little forum comments (aside from "advertisements")
3. Instance restarts rarely happen, due to pressure to keep them up 24/7 and lack of patching
4. Pushing the "x-play" when the goal is clearly to focus on PC-only

Early access/beta testing is all about the fun of testing new stuff and aiding with identifying issues, helping the devs. At this pint, that does not feel like the case, unless you are streamer.

The above is not exclusive and there are more things to be added, but just wanted to put my 2 cents out there.

We are just sheep.

What you should do is no longer tell people what a patch is changing until later. Then, you can see if they still complain about things that were changed already. Kind of a confirmation bias test to know if Reddit and YouTube are worth trusting. :D Thanks for the awesome game that continues to impress and bring me fun.

Im pretty sure they did this already with the loot... last 24 hours have been very decent for me, It was like a switch flipped. between trade sales and straight drops ive gotten about 4 d total. spent 50ex rolling maps and adding to scepters to sell and failing on the crafting. I think it would be WAY higher if there wasn't just 2 viable builds that people are buy gear for(not saying there are only 2 builds, its like 6 versions of 2 builds though lol) I have beautiful gear but people aren't buying anything if it isn't for lightning spear/rake or lightning spear/serpent or essence drain whatever. its all pretty much the same gear. Energy shield and Scepters.

Or, is this confirmation bias? XD

true but I posted about the loot being better last night... so I guess they are confirming me??

When is this being deployed? Can't be soon enough!

By end of next week.

Damn I hope you're wrong. Another weekend in the loot drought would be unfortunate.

Public holiday tomorrow for AU and NZ there will be no updates or patching done.

Most take extra days off because its also School Holidays at the moment.

Monday return to work and prepare patch and updates expectation next Wednesday AU time or Tuesday US.

Just a realistic expectation.

That's why I said most likely next week Thursday or Friday.

Is there no update this week?

They (JWR in Dropped Frames interview iirc) said they hoped this week but it was a double holiday so they’ll have to see. Today isn’t a holiday for them, yesterday was, so it doesn’t look like today and if it’s not up in 24 then it’s next week.
