End of the Beta
Although the beta has come to an end, the team here is on the final push to fix a few more bugs before the game goes live to you on Tuesday. Here at Relic we consider the beta to have been a great success. We received a huge amount of great feedback from all of you and we tracked down and solved several problems that would have been issues at launch. Our matchmaking has been improved, our chat system is helping to build our community and doesn’t lag the game like it was at the start of the beta.
Over the course of the beta we’ve gathered a sizable amount of data and we thought that it might be interesting to share a small portion of it that you might find interesting. Before we jump in I want to make note of a few facts.
1. Some of the numbers in these reports are skewed by a variety of factors such as Imperial Guard being new and thus overly popular
2. The sample size for some of these statistics is relatively small (1% of users played as the Lictor Alpha or the Ravener Alpha in the beta)
3. These are not all the stats that we collect and our decisions are not based solely off of the statistics we gather.
Ok. Disclaimers are out of the way. Let’s look at some numbers. ...more.
