OCE??
OCE??
Yeah mate!
OCE, India, MENA, China, Everyone is in!!
Actually the accompanying blog post clarifies that India and MENA are part of our future plans. China is a whole other thing where Riot doesn't actually publish the game, so we don't have anything to communicate there yet.
Will OCE get anything like the beta rewards the other servers had?
Unfortunately not 😞
That means the next update (next week) is going to be a big one (possibly new map) since that will be the last patch before launch date since we are following the bi-weekly patch system like LoL and there's only 12 days away from launch date.CONFIRMED NO PATCH COMING. EVERYTHING WILL BE ADDED TO RELEASE
Probably no patch next week, which makes launch day patch a big 'ol one. Looking at the incoming drafts now... It's going to be fun.
Fifthing the questions about hitreg and desync, will those issues not be fixed until release?
they will, the team is pretty confident they have the fixes
How many maps will there be at launch?
4
So no fix for hit regs until then?
will be in by launch
Will there be any trouble if I’ve bought skins on an NA account and want to get it transferred to OCE on launch, would that be allowed and would the bonus RP be given still?
We're not going to have full shard transfers at launch (they will probably arrive at some point in 2020). The bonus VP will be on your NA account, you just might not be able to transfer it right away.
Hey, Any idea when we'll be getting middle east servers? On twitter it was promised they'd be here by launch date and now it won't be there by launch, could you please let us know by when we'll have ME and India servers? ANY ETA Would be greatly appreciated!
There was a miscommunication about the servers at launch, sorry!
We'd like to have them in place by the end of the year, but a lot needs to go right for that to happen. You'll hear more from us as we make progress!
I’ve asked the same question to riot support before i decided to spend some money on skins and was told it wouldn’t be an issue. Massive bummer being told that i have to continue playing on 150 ping if i want to use what i paid for or just forget about the account till whenever you decide to allow it.
If Riot Support committed to it, they'll stand by it. For them to do it takes more manual work on their end. When I say "Shard Transfer" I mean a one button process that wouldn't require Riot Support or VALORANT Dev Team intervention.
Is there any info on Japan? Will it get routed to SEA or have it's own server?
We'll have game servers in Tokyo!
Could you tell us where the ME servers would be located?
Not yet, sorry! You'll hear more details from us soon 😀
