Greetings Everyone!
Thank you for joining us for another Development Update. This update will be rather brief but we still wanted to provide a few updates and give a few reminders!
ONLINE SERVICES
We've mentioned it before but our service is undergoing a rather significant overhaul and it might result in some occasional bumpiness for some players. This means potential disconnects, strange inventory mishaps and purchasing errors. It's a necessary evil as we take everything we've learned from the past year about what's working with the online service and what isn't to make significant changes. The online backbone of HAWKEN is something that needs to develop just like the client does, expanding and improving to eventually get to a release state.
The work mentioned is scheduled to complete in January but that doesn't mean symptoms will continue for that long. It's just temporary but if you do happen to encounter any of symptoms above, feel free to create a support ticket. Please do not assume that something you are experiencing is a global issue. There is a high probability that it might be specific to your account so please file a support ticket so it can be investigated!
CLIENT DEVELOPMENT / UPDATES
We just finished a development sprint yesterday and will start a two week one on Monday. We continue to work hard, even all these months later and the next major patch will contain quite a few important changes to the game. Once released we hope it'll help with many of the concerns expressed right now with gameplay balance and getting into appropriate matches. We've mentioned some of what's on the horizon in past Development Updates but only in a simple bullet point fashion without many details. I need to work with ZamboniChaos on how we want to start sharing the specifics with all of you. Removing the BETA tag is a true goal for us and we are looking to do that Q1 of 2014.
We hope everyone gets some rest during this holiday season and enjoys the time available with family and friends! Personally, I love this time of year but have to fight the temptation to go into hibernation. Actually, I have family coming over tomorrow for dinner and we've done rather little to prepare for that so when I finish this up I'm going to have to go help clean. It'll be a full house that's for sure!
Happy Holidays from all of us on the HAWKEN team and we'll see you again next week! Thanks Everyone!
