First, the awesome news.
The fix that was implemented last week to fix a progressive combat lag issue, was super effective. We've been testing it round the clock and as of this writing, everything appears to be back to normal. This was a very serious issue, which is why the May 5th Steam release was delayed.
In addition to the above, we have completely removed our Zeevex payment processor for micro-transactions, and implemented Xsolla.
Aside from it being necessary due to Zeevex going out of business, using Xsolla means that you can use worldwide currency to buy in-game transactions. This is great because we are in discussions with various partners for international deployment of the game in other territories such as EU and Asia, where territory servers will be hosted so that our gamers in those areas, don't have to login to servers here in the US.
...and the bad news
We are going to move the Steam release another week, to Tue, May 19th in order to give additional testing time, as well as fix some annoying bugs listed below.
- The Warden's Pack Call abilities can sometimes crash the server
- No NPCs are loaded in the Kujix Starter Area
- The Ranger's Leg Shot action does not always function correctly
- Several Magus spells aren't functioning correctly
We're also going to add some indicator in character select screen which shows whether you have the Rise Of The Ourobani expansion pack or not. Currently the only way to know if you have it, is if you can create a Warden or Ourobani character.
