Hey Paragon Community,
This weekend, the Paragon Team will be launching our third Online Test (OT3). The team is incredibly excited to include more and more players in each of our tests. Were getting really valuable feedback, and its helping us make the game better.
More Notice!
With OT1, we only gave 17 hours of notice, and lots of people were bummed they couldnt play. We promised to do better for OT2. We got better - by providing a super impressive 21 hours of notice! Clearly still a fail.
Instead of waiting until we know we have the latest build, were now announcing OTs several days in advance. The upside is that players will have more notice. It also means that sometimes we may not have a completely new build. When we dont, were still making changes to balance, testing infrastructure, and collecting feedback!
Changing the Game
Thanks to all the player input were getting, were making changes to game systems and balance, and adding features with each OT. Were working hard on things like movement speed (making it faster!), the card system (clarity & diversity of cards), stability, matchmaking, rejoin, UI and many other things. Well be sharing more detail all the time.
Wheres the Video?
Were not releasing an OT Intro video for OT3 (we had some capture problems this week). We do have some new videos coming next week, and plan to release OT videos as frequently as possible. Sorry for missing on this one. #ZekeCalmDown
Check out this one though.
Whats Next?
PS4 testing is right around the corner. In fact, we just recently sent out details on how players can link their PSN account for a chance to be included in PS4 testing.
If you havent yet been invited, hang in there. Were aiming for an OT every week, and well be inviting new players for each one. If you havent signed up, please do!
Finally
just like the game, these posts will go through iteration. Let us know what you like and what you dont.
GLHF,
