Yeah, I know. It's frustrating. It's frustrating for us, too.

Here's the deal: we have a build, and it hung at the 99.99% bar. There is one issue that has proven to be incredibly elusive, and it's causing a massive lag on the server. Overall, the game feels pretty good. We're still working through power-related bugs -- all the underlying system changes we made this milestone have caused a crop of them, but frankly that's expected and we're working them through at a good clip -- but I'd be OK with putting those in front of you. Overall, I think combat is in a much better shape than 5.100, even with these new issues.

But the server performance issue is a killer. Any kind of reasonable player load (and I have reason to suspect we'll hit that) causes this problem to emerge, and it makes the game unplayable. Which would be even more frustrating.

As to "when", the truth is, we don't know. We have top men working on it. ("Top. Men."...

Hey folks,

Unfortunately, as the title says, today is not the day that 5.110 goes to Test.

We hoped it would be. We wanted it to be. We pushed really hard to make it the day.

This was a crazy week. On Tuesday, Gordon and I decided to institute a mandatory work-from-home policy for the entire team. That meant a quick scramble to get everyone equipped with machines and webcams and microphones and, in some cases, even desks at home. We started sending people home in waves. By Friday, the entire team was up and running in sixty different locations, with access to slack and email and source code and bug tracking and server monitoring and everything else. This morning we were even able to do company stand-ups like normal, only via webcam. so, really, not like normal at all.

In spite of that, we made a valiant run to get you a build, because we know you guys are chomping at the bit to test 5.110 (and believe me, we are, to...

We will not be publishing a Dev Diary this Wednesday (tomorrow) since we've got the live stream happening on Thursday (11 am CST). 

(Preemptively locking this thread so I don't get a bunch of "dergs" and "Thursday at noon" responses. Some of ya'll have beat that poor dead horse so far into the ground that it's nothing but dust and microscopic bone fragments now.)

There will be another Crowfall Twitch Stream-a-Thon March 20-23. We want to help spread the word about guilds who are open to bringing in new members. You can help us accomplish this by creating a guild recruiting video for the streamers to share during the event.  

Your video should be at least 30 seconds but not more than 60 seconds in length. In accordance with our Fair Use Policy, your Crowfall-...

The Ancients were placeholders til we built the Thrall NPC's. Thralls are specifically for Majors, minors/exploration still come from where they currently do in 5.100.
Thralls do "inhabit" the upper end stations in .110.

White Disciplines will continue to be available from vendors in .110 as they are intended for people to try out builds and experiment.

Yes you can no longer upgrade White quality vendor disciplines via the combine mechanic.
Thralls all drop Blue quality and you combine multiples of 3 disciplines / 3 essences for upgrade stages.

Pretty sure I saw The Blacksmith thrall running around! Harvesting soul gems will continue to come from harvesting.

The +15% is a bug that exists in .100 that has already been fixed for .110.
You threw this out there as kind of a snide remark and I want to drill down into it for a s...

Please be aware that on Tuesday, February 25, at 3 pm CST / 10 pm CET, access to the Crowfall TEST server will be modified to “Internal Only”. This is being done so that we can perform some maintenance and infrastructure improvements prior to the next wave of public testing starting on TEST. When the TEST server is returned to service, we will announce it through standard channels. We appreciate your support.

It's come to our attention that someone is sharing a fake TEST email that was modified from one we sent 18 months ago. IT IS FAKE! No emails have been sent from us regarding 5.110 testing.

As we have in the past, we will make an announcement when 5.110 is ready to receive visitors.
