Hello everyone! I wanted to share some thoughts and information about today’s launch, but before I do I want to thank all of you that showed us some patience and kindness in our first big release. Even though we felt we were prepared and came in with a high level of confidence - even feeling that we over prepared - we were shown that in a real-world situation things can go wrong that just simply do not in simulated scale testing. You can see a post I wrote yesterday about this that has of course “aged like milk” but I still think it’s informative and gives insight into our feelings the day before launch: ...

Yes.

If we had unlimited resources it's definitely not a decision we'd make. But, having an extra gender option available for each class would require skinning all the armour models twice, or in some case creating separate models for more revealing armour like some of the primalist's chest pieces. Additionally there'd be a lot of extra animation work, making sure all the animations work for both, or in some case creating additional animations where they don't. Getting the quality and diversity of armour visual models to where it is at 1.0 and getting animations to their standard at 1.0 has been a very significant task for a team of our size, and having to account for twice as many character models would have slowed that down a lot.

There's normally an option to switch your movement key to move or attack, but right now it's disabled.

There was a bug found with it very shortly before release, and disabling it was the only fix guaranteed not to cause additional issues. We'll re-enable the option with the bug fixed in a hotfix.

Underlying technical dependencies.

Yes, there's no restrictions on partying based on faction.

Great job here with maintaining details even in the stylized form! Love seeing the fan art :D

It's a great way to play it honestly. Hope you enjoy and thank you for your support.

Yes, sorry for the confusion, u/Trenmonstrr! The game will be available again at launch. We've tried to signpost this as best we could but with the influx of new players we've been worried all day that people would be confused and frustrated.

Welcome to the community, and tomorrow you can try out all the new shiny stuff :)

There are some good answers here, looking at u/Ronarray's post - also Meteor is my personal favorite skill even if it's not considered one of the best. I will say that we have some plans for Sorcerer that we're excited about coming post 1.0.

Haha if this is over the top it is completely on me. I personally asked our sound designer to increase the rate of the falcon sounds quite a lot pretty near the end of content lock because it didn't feel present enough. We'll monitor and take note of feedback, including this post, and adjust as needed.

Cheers u/Cisco-NintendoSwitch

One of the absolutely coolest and most heart warming things is seeing these guys that have been advocates (sometimes critics - for good reason) for the game for years, streaming to 10-15 people at a time, grow their viewership as the game gains traction.

We've gained a ton of constructive feedback from them over the years that the game is now infinitely better for. Three cheers for these guys - go drop them a follow.

Sounds good, when you add me add a note on who you are. My Discord invites are a bit backed up but I'll look out for ya.

Yep

Glad you’re able to join the community for launch, wOoxx. Tell your significant other that the devs from that game thank her for her, and your, support. She sounds like a solid T28 find to me
