We want to thank everyone who participated in the test thus far. Your feedback continues to be critical in improving the game. Today’s patch addresses most of the major and critical outstanding issues and should allow you to continue progressing. Unfortunately, we have still not received Xbox certification and once again must push forward without Xbox. We hope this time around the disruption will not last as long. However, we will be holding off on spawning Worm Event Tiles until access is restored.
We’ve seen tons of questions about the next steps and what our plans are from here. For now, we’ll keep the servers up and allow the test to continue to run uninterrupted. We may provide periodic balance and polish updates as they make sense, but our focus will start to shift to preparing for the launch of Season 6.
We don't have any projections yet for when that might be. There are a few substantial tasks that need to be accomplished before launching the season, and we’ll keep you up to date as things progress.
The first one is tile spawning. During this test, we manually set new tiles to spawn. It was not really manageable and we made several mistakes along the way. If we are able to grow the populations - and thus servers - it will become even more unmanageable, so it isn’t a sustainable option.
The second is some changes Xbox’s Multiplayer API which adds some additional functionality for joining game sessions for Xbox players.
And lastly is making sure in the future we’re able to scale up the amount of available servers to meet demand, unlike the first part of this test.
It is likely one or more of these tasks will eventually require us to take servers down for some amount of time and we’ll keep you informed when/if it happens.
Again, thank you for all your time spent playing and providing feedback. It is our honor to be the stewards of Last Oasis and make it the game we all know it can be.
