Only if it's the Omen that's always on my team and teleports into site to only get one tapped.

Thanks for coming back, We at middle east may get a good / average ping at indian servers just incase something happens to bahrain server we have something good enough to fall back to.

Ah gotcha, that's good to know. Currently, there's no plan to support that combo, but we're constantly evaluating average player latency to all servers and if there are reasonable opportunities to improve it, we will investigate it further.

You’re right, the VALORANT map rotation could use a refresh. That’s why Act III opens cold, with a new map set in the arctic wilderness: Icebox.


Moving Icebox up from Episode 2 does come with a trade-off: we’ll be delaying the release of our newest Agent for two weeks (one patch cycle) after the start of Act III. Simply put, our last few patches haven’t been the most stable, and we know more of you want Icebox. Delaying the release of a new Agent allows us to better handle any issues that might emerge when launching alongside Patch 1.10.

Not gonna lie, the Act III patch is a bit scary considering the high amount of content coming and potential instability. We want to be faster when it comes to resolving any issues or exploits. This delay gives our team some breathing room to make sure current Agents play nice with the new map (invisible Spy Cams, invincibility, teleporting in the wrong neighborhood, etc.) before introducing anot...

Interesting, we'll take a look. Those are on two different network paths, so not super surprising that they might differ, but that's a pretty big spread.

Hi armies question- with the new server selection option will we be able to select servers outside of our shard?

Currently, the game servers are shard specific. We are working on making shard transfers better, but what game server are blend are you looking to use?

Will this affect future map releases? Will there even be a new map in Episode 2 since the Episode 2 map got moved up to Episode 1?

To be completely honest stuff like this is still getting figured out and I’m not qualified to speak to it since I’m not in deep on production schedule work. In general though, we’re working to get you all maps sooner rather than later, and we want to avoid that “empty episode” scenario as much as we can. I wish I could give more details here but I’m just not the right person to speak to it!

The original plan was 3 agents an act and 1 map an episode. But they might have switched the order to 2 agents and map per episode (3 Acts).

A map release doesn’t necessarily mean that there won’t be an agent release in that act, too. We were initially planning on launching icebox with another agent at the Episode 2 drop, sooo...

ah yes the next phase of the avalanche gun skin reveal campaign - the devs loved the guns' origin story so much they built a map

Can I also just say that game dev (in a pandemic) takes time but as Joe and Anna have said, we build this game with you, and sometimes that means changing plans made pre-launch to meet evolving needs. We're always listening, so please be patient. Or as all the corporations say, we're in this together in unprecedented historical times so now is the time to buy a burger and side of curly fries avalanche gun skiiiiiiin babyyyyyy.
