How far are we away from free2play?
Everyone is of course asking the same question: when are we going free2play?
We are constantly 3 weeks away from it, since May or so. And we always think "now it's really only 3 weeks".
So I will just tell you what is left:
- We're pretty much finished with the server scaling system. Unfortunately we will not be able to offer Brazilian servers. They will get a ping of 100 in the USA though. Unless servers in Brazil get cheaper, that's the only option we have.
- There are also still some bugs left to fix:
Items you get from a chest not appearing in your inventory until you restart the launcher.
Sometimes the launcher shows you have 0 chests even though you have lots of them.
The chest screen is being reworked and we're adding options to buy up to 50 chests directly.
In human-only matches, player characters overlap during the intro sequence
Inviting into lobbies is broken
Name alignment and unready/ready colors in lobbies are broken
3v3 lobbies show 5v5 ranks
The steam achievements regarding chances are broken
Those remaining things probably take about 3 weeks to be done.
Yeah, definitely 3 weeks. I think. Maybe.
