We continuously troubleshooting performance and hotfixing. Founders server will start getting Eldar today or Tomorrow Friday the 6th.
Ave Crusaders. As you know, us fully capitalizing on 4.11 and other updates, fps and optimizations have been a rougher route than expected. Perhaps I should waited with integrating 4.11 till all was more stable but the amount of performance improvements were simply irresistible. I can get a bit excited and eager at times.
We've deployed one hotfix, but we are now evaluating how many more small hotfixes we deploy or go straight for deploying the next major update, which is a much newer build. It contains big improvements that can't be hotfixed and if you are familiar with game development, you know the build out there now was made a long time ago and hotfixed to stabilize.
While you might think "stop adding stuff, fix the bugs" but this is exactly the way to fix the bugs because we have a more stable, big update already, with a lot of cherries on top. Let me give you a taste of the possible things.
- MOAR FIXES (Performance, general bugs)
- Character Advancements (aka Progression Tree)
- Rogue Trader Store and the first store weapons
- First Relic Items from Founders program deployed
- Wargear - the first accessories you fit to further specialize
- New map - Maggon. It's Foxtrot Alpha.
- Gamepad - better support overall (menu, keybindings, etc)
- Special appearences by: Maglift, any action can be done while riding them. Radar: characters and vehicles shooting or using jumppack not always appearing on radar, Commendations, hopefully the first batch, Loading Screen tips and bad jokes.
It's important to note that this update does not include the regular gameplay rewards (PHAT LEWT) gained through regular play. The reason the Rogue Trader Store is coming in is because of type of the items coming in, so don't worry, we're not pay 2 win, the mechanism to dispense the rewards (PHAT LEWT) simply isn't ready yet and the best, most customizable and modifiable weapons are still only available ingame.
I will keep you posted on hotfixes and ETA on the next major update as it becomes available as I ran out of sheep so I can't read into sheep intestines (It's an Icelandic thing).
Tomorrow Friday at 2PM EST in Twitch we will be talking about regional game servers, performance and everything associated with that, new items, map walkthrough and more.
Thank you all for hanging in there, you continue to make us want to be an even better team. Cause, we think we're pretty fly for heretics but you know the heresy train has no brakes. THEN VTEC KICKED IN YO.
