Crucible Dev Tracker

I've been looking for a place to post to give the devs some appreciation. It's a bummer that the game was pushed for a quarantine launch with missing features. I must just be out of touch with what modern shooter players want, because yeah, there were things missing, but I saw real potential in Crucible's game design and mechanics as a deep game that had a high skill ceiling and a lot of different ways to meaningfully contribute to a team. The character kit designs, while maybe needing a little tuning at higher ends of competition, were so unique, particularly Sazan and Rahi. I really enjoyed the game and hope the team finds a way to get another competitively aimed shooter a go and brings the same design philosophy and some lessons learned from launch.

Will it be playable with lan connection or such software after the servers go off? Just want to know if its worth to keep my current installed version

Despite the game being lackluster, the devs are awesome, I hope you'll retain your job.

Not sure what the matchmaking tests Jon mentioned in discord were, but at one point it took me just under 90 mins to find a game. Around 60 people online and watched a streamer pop 3 times before my duo and I got in.

I think the changes for heart of the hives are a step in the right direction. The fights feel a lot more scrappy and have more impact towards the flow of the game since the only way to heal now are the medpacks. I think what is still holding this mode back is that the map is still far too big and makes the pacing of the game slower. For a game that is a moba/hero shooter hybrid, I believe it's important to make the pacing of the game faster.

To fix this map issue, I think it could be solved by cutting the map down by 25%. This allows team to cycle around the map quickly and punishes players who stray too far from their team and teaches that staying with the team equates to a win. The pace of team fights will be faster and more constant, the effect of a faster pace also means shorter games 5 - 10 minute games and faster matchmaking.

Overall I think the patch is a step in the right direction. The two main criticism I have are the performance issues, which is to be expected with the new graphics, and the spawn system.

I’ve been noticing slightly lower overall frame rate (maybe damage numbers?) but certain characters have pretty poor performance. This is expected though and I am sure will get improved quickly

The spawn system is the main issue I have with this patch. While I like the fewer spawns and that each team has their own spawns I do feel like it needs some serious changes. Currently there is one set of spawns that is extremely favored. They have easier patching of farm, closer spawns, and better sight lines, to harvesters, and more favorable spawns for some of the hives. The bubbles also pose a big problem. I think I understand what you were going for with something similar to the “fountain” in MOBAs but I don’t think that works to well in this game. Health pylons were fine and didn’t ne...

What an update! Hopped in to check it out for the first time in a while and HOT DAMN, the Drak VFX/SFX updates are such an improvement. New HoH tutorial is such an improvement too.

The game feels so much different than it did in alpha/around launch, in a great way. Excited to see where it goes - great work everyone!
