A great point. I’ll pass it along to design to see what they say.

Capture Point Silo WIP

Hey gang, it's been a spell so I thought I'd drop some more WIP work your way. As mentioned by Wrel in the dev notes; the capture points on each continent -- which were previously small capture terminals -- will now be replaced with a more unique looking Cotrium Capture Point Silo.

these changes to Oshur, are they just construction related or also general play space related

not asking for specifics as I know how sensitive giving those too early can be

General playspace adjustments. For example: Mirror Bay will receive some adjustments (or be removed outright.)

We're still working on the server performance issues. Found a few culprits this morning that seem pretty bad. Discussing with the team how to proceed.

Oshur is receiving some changes alongside the Construction update, which should time out around April with our current pace. You should all start seeing some playable Construction material later this month.
