Legate of Mineta Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Captains; Alright, voting has been held and the results are in- as always, this will be echoed in the Update. The final tally was 3 against and 4 in favor. From last Release, Campaign/Alliance Missions QA was completed, a general Fleet data load was held, and with fixes relating to night battles, repairs and Campaign/Mission Prerequisites were put into place. Outstanding are: 1) Gameflow QA 2*) Production Overhaul 3*) Range & Fuel Consumption #2 and #3 *may* be completed within the KS Beta itself, depending on how the Team feels in the coming Release. These are targeted for Mid-June, when there will be another vote. We'll keep you updated on when all liberties are cancelled and we're ready to sail!

DrYuriMom Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Keep up the great work! June will be lovely month to set sail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'm beginning to see a pattern with these votes. At this rate it will be another 4 months before we set sail! I will wait patiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrYuriMom Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Not at all. Only the Gameflow QA necessarily remains as a hurdle. The other two no go's may work through their issues concurrent with Beta. I elect to be an optimist! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhao-zhanghua Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 At this rate, we can see it launch next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellington99 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 When VB finally releases, I'll hopefully be able to tell my grandkids all about how I was there when the KS for it was still going on. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Käpt'n Korky Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I think the team should complete No. 2 & 3 in the KS beta. It gives immediate feedback and larger scale data of real players. And it's a beta. Even if today a lot (online) games have a open beta and call it a "game" you can join, the purpose of a beta is to sample data and fix things by using real people, not only 100 of them and players instead of dev-teams because they might do stuff no dev ever thought of. And if people are dedicated enough to give you money, they are surely dedicated enough to give you qualified feedback. I mean that's why you have (or had) an alpha (devs only), a beta (selected players) and then the RC. At least I remember it that way until the "open beta" was not only introduced but abused. And in the beginning "open beta" was more of a 2 hour stress test (or 2 seconds, if the system couldn't handle it. XD). "Beta" phases done well were always: Okay folks you got 1/3/12/X hours to game, then we shut down, reset and collect your feedback. Followed by a light/heavy patch. Then we do it all over again, and again, and again until it's not funny anymore but we sure as hell get what you want us to. There were even specific tasks for the players. (i.e."Everyone run into map XX now.", "Everyone use a sword with their class.", "Everybody please test poland this time and hunt specificly for ninja and his Spee. It's totally not because it's shiros b-day. We want to test .... um combat calculations in the atlantic.... um yeah. Happy b-day shiro btw.", you get the idea.) So please don't worry about balancing resources before you have seen all your beautiful math thrown out of the window by real people. In a beta. You will announce next month. Period. (<- just kidding) But seriously, don't be afraid of a closed beta. Just replace "players" with "guinea pigs" (or Versuchskaninchen in case of the KM beta testers) and it's suddenly not so scary anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrion Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sorry for asking, but what does KS stand for? (Might be a bit forgetful...) Hoping that the game fixes don't mess up with other remaining components of the game as you assess them. That can give the development a serious delay.

Procyon Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 We're definitely getting closer. It seems that more people are confident about the Beta. I can't wait to try it :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschuncks Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'll still be on my NG+ playthrough of Persona 5 in June in all likelyhood, so I suppose I can wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuraForte Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 [question] What stage of the development will the team/anyone be able to entertain questions about the cash shop & etc? (I'm mainly concerned on ways to buy them as I and some of us here do not have access to Credit/Debit cards or pay-pal) Edit: if this in the wrong thread i'll happily erase this.

RockyArby Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I believe that question would find a better fit in the General Questions thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 AF; What RA said, but the shop will be open in Beta for testing, so I think you'll see the options there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm very happy that the VB beta is almost ready for action! and BTW legate what are the few kinks u guys need to patch up & polish before the beta goes live? I'm guessing u guys at BCS had done a lot with bugs/stability testing and one more thing will there be a stand alone launcher for the beta/live game?

Legate of Mineta Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Datupsmash; There are quite a few places for optimization- still some UI art, too, that's needed, I think. I don't know, but I don't think there will be a standalone launcher for Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
