Greetings Warlander!
Thank you so much for all of the support you have shown to Warlander. Your feedback has been incredibly valuable to us, and we're committed to addressing these topics.
We hear your feedback, and agree that getting new players into the game is a priority. We believe that there are things that need to improve within the game to make sure that when new players join they have a good time, and play for longer.
New Player Experience
These past few weeks a lot of our focus has been set on the new player experience. Their first impression is important, so we've dedicated significant effort recently toward enhancing features such as the Tutorial and Matchmaking to ensure that new players aren't overwhelmed by more seasoned players.
Quality of Life (QoL) improvements
To address the feedback for QoL improvements within the game, we first want to clarify that the teams working on expanding the game's content and adding new Maps are distinct from the teams dedicated to adding QoL improvements such as UI and Balancing. Both are important and we're committed to enhancing the gameplay experience on all aspects.
Regarding the priority of these topics, we hear your feedback and we’re making adjustments internally to shift our efforts to QoL improvements.
Previously, a lot of our effort has been set on the Arena mode, to make sure it is a fun experience when it's released. Now that Arena Mode is nearing completion this team now has more time to focus on QoL improvements, such as Renaming Characters which was released recently.
Upcoming Features / Changes
We're actively developing some of the most requested features based on your feedback, and we're excited to provide you with updates on our progress.
CrossParty
CrossParty is a significant focus for us, We've taken your frustrations and feedback seriously. Implementing CrossParty functionality is a complex feature and we’re working tirelessly to get this to you as soon as possible. We're currently aiming for CrossParty to be implemented This Season.
Voice Chat
We've been working on finding the best way to make Voice Chat and Communication work within Warlander considering the team sizes. We're planning on releasing this together with CrossParty.
Known Issues we’re looking into
We have heard your frustrations of issues within the game recently, and are working to address these. Some notable Issues that we’re working on are:
• Melee Combat/Collision (Fixed on 11. Sep.)
• Hymn of War (Fixed on 15. Sep.)
• Reserved Matchmaking Issues
• Changing brightness bug
Q&A Answers
Thank you for all of the questions you guys have sent in during the Q&A and we apologize for the wait you’ve had to endure during this time.
These questions sparked a lot of conversations internally and provoked a change in our timeline and priorities to make this game the best it can be. Unfortunately this meant, many of the answers to your questions which were already in progress had become either obsolete all-together or required significant editing.
Therefore the Q&A answers will be run out in two parts, as we want to answer as many of your questions as possible, and as quickly as possible. The first part will come out later this season.
