Hi All,
I wanted to make a quick announcement to let you know where we plan to go from here. Now that we've dealt with some of the initial release issues, we'd like the next patch to include some of the additional features that have been requested (e.g. automatchmaking, interface improvements, etc). We'd also like to address more thoroughly some of the sundry MP configuration issues that we haven't been able to reproduce in house. So here is our plan to do that:
Step 1: We're working on the new features now as well as any needed fixes that come up. I don't have the full feature and fix list right now, and I may not have it until the beta patch is ready.
Step 2: When we're finished, we'll run a public beta of the new patch. Anyone in the community who's interested and who has a retail copy of the game can participate. We'll have a separate lobby (and/or the auto-matchmaking lobby) for the patch beta.
Step 3: During the beta we'll want to work with any participants who are having specific connectivity and other problems so we can try to reproduce and resolve them. We'll also invite commentary and discussion on any new features; if some of the beta features turn out to create problems we may cut them.
Step 4: When the beta is finished and we're satisfied we have a really rock solid version, we'll make that the official "Patch 3".
So for right now, continue to send us any unresolved issues at forumsupport@bighugegames.com. When we're ready to do the Patch 3 beta we'll make an announcement.
