Win a Solo match on Test and earn a Silver Zodiac Crate!
Over the next three days, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (2/21 – 2/23) we’ll be rewarding players who get first place wins from Solo matches on the Test Server. The reward won’t be automatically granted upon the completion of the match but will be granted to your Live account within a week. We’re looking for data to help us tune the new scoring system so please play how you would normally play on the Live Servers. Make sure you tune in for the Royalty Showdown for more information on scoring changes coming in the next season.
Color and Visibility Tests.
Over the next three days, we’ll also be trying out different times of day for color and visibility tweaks. We’ll be adjusting saturation and vibrancy levels on our end so when reviewing the differences between the days, remove any digital vibrancy you’ve additionally added via NVIDIA tools and turn shadows back on if you have them disabled. Please take some time to jump in-game, play a match and then provide your feedback via the in-game survey. We’re ultimately looking at improving player visibility to enhance the current gameplay.
- Wednesday: In-game time set to 10am
- Thursday: In-game time set to 2pm
- Friday: In-game time set to 4pm
