Next beta?

sinsro · Aug 7, 2014

I'm sorry if this question has been answered in the FAQs somewhere, but I could not find it: What and when is the next release after standard beta? And if it is not the final game, what new features are planned for it?

Read the newsletters

Hm... I would say that the only correct answer to this question is soon™. As for the new features - read the newsletter, the next one should be released tomorrow. The information about some of the new features is usually given in the newsletters.

If I would have to guess I would say 3 weeks to go.

So, that would be standard beta 2?

How many betas are planned before the game is released? I see it is to be released Q4 2014, which means it needs to release in anything from 2-5 months from now.

Seems not much time left, especially considering the feature complete game needs proper testing well ahead of the Q4 release...

Gamescom in Cologne will be next week so most probably there won't be any releases until then. May be they will show some more features during the event and IMO the next version should be released shortly after this. So my estimates are about the same as Pecick's.

I could've sworn they already used it for Ultima Online in 1997.

Soon™ is much much better than the Eventually™ answer.

Ask Kerrash because I'm convinced that he know something about what's coming up and when if his tweets are anything to go by.

OK, I thought since thy had such a well defined deadline for the standard beta they would also have a release plan for after this, seems not.

It's a long time to wait till September 2014 though.
