We're hammering the release candidate build as we speak. We had fun in the fortress and performance was pretty good too, especially on a huge map like that and the new game mode. Some issues to iron out but we are very optimistic on letting it loose on the internet today.
Say your prayers, sacrifice to the gods of your choice or feel free to give us a review, or vote on the current ones. It makes us (and the gods) really happy and we work faster! LIKE TURBO FASTER. You might even want to do that after the patch because we think even Khorne is excited after he tried it out. At least there are two developers with axe marks on their table.
PS Looks like after the latest optimizations we will be trialing 64 players a bit again on all the maps and take out the Tug of War map (it doesn't work with that many). This might be for a couple of hours or it may be for a day. This helps us profile the servers and give you a feel for if optimizations affected you in a positive way. More importantly, how you feel the maps and game modes work with this many.
After that we'll revert and play around with the numbers, the Fortress is 30 vs 30 at least and the others will have the regular number - or perhaps we mix it up a bit.
When Houman starts his patch notes and posts the highlights, you'll know the patch is being deployed.
We love you all and hope you have a good weekend vacation with the god of your choice.
