Things that went "done":

 

1. Added a restart button for the private servers

  - yes, it's finally there

2. Migrated all gameserver hosts to use a different management system

  - CPU utilization is lower now, so watch for performance improvements

3. New engine programmer is all set up and working

  - he's doing engine-level stuff, and it won't show for a while

4. Actively interviewing senior-level and lead programmers

  - haven't found the right fit quite yet, but getting close

  - if you refer someone we end up hiring, you will get some cool Hawken gear :)

5. We've got some new survey systems we want to start using

  - Check it out the callout tile when you log in to the client

6. Tiggs is headed out to Markee Fest in Florida

  - We are co-sponsoring the event CCP... I've always been an Eve:Online fan :)

7. Increased the matchmaker expansion time

  - we want to get better matches for everyone, and good players seem to not mind waiting a little longer for them

  - significant improvements will come when we improve how game servers do mid-match balance and when they decide to request additional players.

8. We got some more cool I-can't-talk-about-them-yet deals done or mostly done

  - Hawken's got some really cool stuff in store :)

 

 

Some things I'd like feedback on:

 

1. CPU utilization is now lower on all game server hosts.  What have you noticed since Tuesday this last week?

  - The Oregon server took a dive, so we merged it into Los Angeles for now

  - Check out the Kansas City server

2. The "Restart" feature for private servers

  - Let us know if this generally solves most of the day-to-day issues you've experienced

3. If you play in the Asia-Oceania region, we want to improve the overall ping time experience

  - Here's a survey with a few options and a chance to comment: https://www.surveygi...a-Region-Survey
