Zero Caliber - Closed PvP Beta Registration
Hey everyone!
We're slowly but surely approaching the Holiday season.
Originally we wanted to release a pretty nifty update in December (with voice chat, dedicated servers, cross-play & more), but it looks like that's not gonna happen this year.
What is going to happen though is the long-awaited Closed Beta test of the PvP game mode! That's right, it IS happening!
[h2]GENERAL INFORMATION[/h2]
Besides testing the new game modes, the test will serve as a pre-stress test for the dedicated servers and for the brand new voice chat feature.
We're limiting the number of participants for now, so that we can keep all the new stuff under control.
Servers will be based in the NA and EU regions for the Closed Beta period.
[h3]HOW?[/h3]
The whole thing will be managed through our Discord server, so if you'd like to participate, please join us there. :) https://discord.gg/JyK2gVh
Testers will be picked randomly from those who fill this form (and are on our Discord): https://forms.gle/xK9CNU4eSrvfH3dG7
[h3]WHEN?[/h3]
The tests will start THIS WEEK. More details will be announced on Discord.
We know it's a sudden announcement, but we wanted to make sure we have a test-ready build first.
We'd like to keep the servers up for at least 3 days, but if they're stable enough and we don't see any game breaking bugs then we'll leave them running until January.
[h3]WHAT'S IN IT?[/h3]
We have 4 maps ready for the test with a unique game mode for each:
+ The new voice chat is debuting with radio and proximity features.
+ This will be the first time we're firing up the dedicated servers for a broader audience. Fingers crossed server hamsters won't poop themselves.
[h2]WHAT'S NEXT?[/h2]
We know PvP is not for everyone, and we hear you. :)
Even though we couldn't squeeze any single player content in this December, we're tirelessly working on story missions, hands, character body, cross-play with that other store we aren't supposed to name and other exciting things.
We expect a lot from dedicated servers as well - we strongly believe most Co-op related bugs will cease to exist once we implement them in the live version.
To make things more clear for everyone, we'll put together a roadmap in January with everything we're planning for 2021.
---
Alright, that's all for now.
We hope everyone is staying safe and doing well with everything going on. 2020 is almost over, 2021 will surely be better, right? Right?
Anyway, thank you all for your continuous support and as always, have fun!
