Dear Anno-Fans
The first preliminary test, where some community members could participate, is coming to an end. Yesterday evening every tester had the chance to take part in a final (optional) skype conference call with colleagues from the development team.
A big thank you to all community members who invested their time to post intensive feedback. Additionally, a big “thanks” to the moderation-team who supported us with the execution of the test.
Numbers, Data, Facts
- 7 different nationalities were represented through testers
- 200+ hours were played by testers with the new version
- 241 posts created to provide us with feedback
How do we continue?
Test
The team already started compiling the feedback, as well as error messages and suggestions.
Some of the suggestions and adjustments are already implemented in the upcoming version or being worked at.
Everything else, if it is not possible to implement in time, will be delivered in other upcoming versions.
Update release
A final release date for the “Veteran” update is not here yet.
We should have a final date in the beginning of April.
Future tests
We are planning to have more tests like this and we will involve community members as well.
The community-team will inform you as soon as we have a new date.
Impressions from the testers: next week
As a small thank you for the participants, everyone who took part can continue testing during the Easter holidays.
The community profits from this initiative as well. In addition to suggestions, which are currently be implemented, some testers also agreed to share impressions with you.
The short review will be published after Easter.
