Hey folks,
We wanted to drop a quick update for you on the status of the TEST and LIVE environments over the next few weeks.
As of last week, the War of the Gods update is now running on our LIVE environment. This is a great milestone for Crowfall, and we want to thank you all for helping us to get here.
Now that 5.110 is on LIVE, we’ll be shutting down the TEST environment to clear the way for our next update. LIVE will be up indefinitely in the meantime.
We don’t want to run a Dregs test on LIVE until we have fixed a handful of issues, most notably fixing the scoring bugs, lowering the spawn rates of caravan animals, adjusting the siege schedule and tweaking the details of the campaign Victory cards. We also have the first of the three chapters of the new player experience almost ready, so that should be coming to TEST in the next version as well. Estimated time of arrival for the next version on TEST is one to two weeks.
Now that LIVE is available, we’re also going to shift back to old habits on how we treat the TEST environment. This is a place to test the boundaries of features and functionality, not to worry about people being competitive. To that end, we’ll be turning on vendors with free resources and building materials. Further, we will alternately boost skill training and/or wipe the database as necessary to facilitate testing. We appreciate those of you who are willing to brave the TEST environment, and we don’t want you to have to spend a bunch of time and energy helping us check that things are working as intended.
As a quick reminder, we have another ACE Q&A tomorrow at 11:00 am CDT | 6 pm CEST. This one will be a bit different as we’re going to wade into deep waters and answer some of your more pressing and unanswered questions. Join us if you can, but remember that if you aren’t able to join us for the live stream, you can always watch the video at your convenience on our YouTube channel at YouTube.com/Crowfall.
Thanks, and we appreciate your continued support as always!
Todd & Gordon & the Crowfall team
