Hey everyone,

Welcome to this week's feedback thread! The Crucible team would love to hear your thoughts on all things Crucible - and there's a lot of new things we'd like to hear your thoughts on from last week's update!

How do you like the new Heart of the Hives experience?

How do you feel about the current state of character balance?

Here's some guidelines for giving great feedback:

• Give details and examples: Be specific, explain the issue fully. The more detail you provide, the better that your readers will understand the point you are trying to make.
• Suggest improvements: While detailing a problem is the first step in solving an issue, don't be afraid to put some thought into how you'd solve the problem.
• Avoid making it personal: Resist the temptation to argue with a person, but by all means debate a point being made. On the same note, do not be offended if someone disagrees with your opinion or suggests alternati...

Thanks for putting this suggestion together u/SamBC1! It's a fun concept, and I'll make sure the team takes a look at it!

Thanks for your thoughts u/GoldenMoose162! Performance is an on-going battle, and something we'll always work on improving.

We're also excited to keep working on the spawn system to make it the best fit for Heart of Hives - and will definitely keep listening to feedback on the system.

Thank you :)

Thanks for the report, we'll look into it!

u/daedalus311 While we're in Closed Beta and focusing on improving core parts of Crucible, there's a weekly playtest on Friday, where players can log-in and play. While the game isn't accessible without a key, queues may be spotty outside of the weekly Friday playtest.

RELEASE NOTES: SEPTEMBER 23, 2020

Developer’s note: Today’s update is a big one for us! It’s packed with a lot of work described on our initial roadmap from June (which you can see [here]). We can’t wait to hear what you think of the changes! We’ll be playtesting this Friday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Pacific Time, so come join us and try out the new-and-improved Heart of the Hives experience. Thanks for being part of the community!

SPOTLIGHT:

Heart of the Hives Improvements

Developer’s note: Back in June we announced that we’ll be doubling down on Heart of the Hives and making it the premiere Crucible experience. This allowed us to revisit many of the systems in the game that were originally designed to work with all three original modes and begin iterating on them with only Hearts of the Hives in mind. As a result, this update introduces some fairly significant changes to gameplay.

For the most part, the map you’ve come to ...

Thanks for your thoughts u/MrGmoon! Voice chat has been added to the game, and you can check out some of our other planned updates (including changes to the map) here: https://trello.com/b/zS6QIJfM/crucible-beta-roadmap

We also post regular updates, and try to release a build with new updates every two weeks. Here you can checkout some of the past changes, and planned ones: ...

Thanks for the heads up on these bugs u/masked_true! We have some fixes in an upcoming patch that should help with all 3 of these bugs.
