Beta Updates?

Post by Parrius »

Just curious what happened to the beta updates?

Did I miss an announcement? Are there no longer public beta updates?

I have been wondering the same thing. I assumed that the Tactics update was huge and that addressed many smaller bugs,

The last Beta came out on May 12th. I know there is some big update in July but what about all the testing in between. Unless, everything is fixed and we are now just waiting for the next content expansion.

Usually they have a number of Beta's released each week for testing. I'm curious to know what's going on and what the next phase for the game will be. It's just been getting better and better. :D

On Discord today, Erik said the next public beta will be end of next week, or early the week after.

I'm sure whatever the update--it will be really good. They've been working on it since May 12th.

I know they're getting ready to announce the Pirate expansion soon, they're probably working on integrating the various systems to work with the expansion.

I'm looking forward to starting a new game and seeing all the new improvements and systems.
