We like to hit the ground running here, and over our first 3 weeks of Early Access our community has provided excellent feedback which we have used to significantly improve our game.
There’s still plenty more to come, but here’s a few highlights from our 17 recent patches:
Frame rate and performance
We’ve made a lot of progress in this area, with most players seeing huge improvements. If you were having issues with this previously, let us know how things are now!
Netcode and Responsiveness
We’ve made many optimisations and several adjustments to lag compensation. This has resulted in significant improvement but we’ll be focusing on this more over the next few weeks.
AI Commanders + Players Bots v0.1
Our final goal with casual AI matches is to allow any and all skill level players to quickly find a suitable, fun match at any time of the day. We think adding AI Commanders and Bots is a huge part of priming the pump that is Savage, and increasing our concurrent player count.
We expect to be continually improving the AIs intelligence, but we felt it important to get this feature out and start getting feedback now.
Healer Rework
We wanted to make big improvements to the impact and fun factor of the Chaplain and Shaman. They have new and improved abilities, attacks, and are much easier to access.
Balance
We’ve been tweaking numbers and changing rules in response to community feedback, try the game out now and as always let us know what you think in our community forum
General Improvements
We’ve made hundreds of little improvements such as better tooltips, better feedback on attacks, adding a concede vote and improved commander shortcuts based on community suggestions - keep them coming!
Bug Fixes
Oh boy did we fix some bugs, we’ll keep stomping these as you keep pointing them out.
