Greetings Mighty Thanes!
With the recent update that introduced Ranked we saw game queue times increase and community feedback has supported this.
To reduce the length of queue times we decided to merge Conquest and Ranked. This will allow all players to queue in the same lobby and let the players who like to progress towards higher ranking to continue to do so. Conquest matches will still run as normal, though we will be clearing this leaderboards and ranks at certain times as we continue to balance the game.
We will of course continue to monitor this to make sure it is a positive change for our DwarfHeim community.
Patch notes:
- - Merged Casual and Ranked game modes to ease queue times during peak.
- - Removed start delay for singleplayer
- - Fixed auto farming bug. (No seriously this time, I'll buy you an ale if you prove me wrong.)
- - Added analytics to our matchmaking to help us improve the service.
As always, we hope you enjoy these updates and they improve your DwarfHeim experience! You can find the full list of improvements made since our Early Access Release on the DwarfHeim Discord, be sure to let us know if you have any feedback or questions!
Thanks.
