The Open Beta of PIONER has come to an end

[p]Dear players![/p][p]The Open Beta of PIONER has come to an end and we’re truly grateful to our community of players for participating and providing us with valuable feedback. We’ll carefully review all that you’ve sent us.

As a token of gratitude for your patience and support, all Open Beta participants will receive, in addition to the “Combat Classic” weapon skin, 200 Efritan Crystals (premium currency) after the game’s release.[/p][p][/p][p]We want to emphasize that the primary goal of the Open Beta was to identify complex issues under real player load. We are now actively working on fixing the most critical ones:[/p][p][/p][p]— Critical progression-saving errors[/p][p]— Server stability issues[/p][p][/p][p]We understand that many players encountered problems during the Open Beta. The test build contained several critical issues, and we acknowledge that more thorough pre-testing would have resulted in a smoother experience. It is undoubtedly our responsibility to ensure player comfort.[/p][p][/p][p]We will not promise quick fixes, nor will we announce new content until these fundamental issues are resolved. Our top priority is to use the data gathered during testing to ensure the game runs stably at release.[/p][p][/p][p]Work on fixes continues with doubled effort. Thank you for staying with us and helping us make PIONER better![/p][p]We will soon announce a new stress test — details will be shared in advance.[/p]
