Greetings Heroes!
I would like to take a minute to introduce a new section of the Champs forum.
This is the Champions Online: UNTIL Field Reports
UNITL Field Report updates will be made every other month when the State of the Game is posted. The report is intended to give you a better look at what the team is doing to improve Champs.
These UNTIL Field Reports will not provide status on every issue or feature request. They will however give you a good idea of what you can expect to see in future game updates and a concentrated thread where you can give us your opinions and feedback about upcoming releases.
Let's take a look at the various sections in the Field Report.
In Test
Items "In test" are issues that have been fixed and are being tested internally and on PTS or are updates just about to go live. These are issues, features and fixes that are as close to release as you can get. Occasionally there may be some items that are in test that are part of a larger release or require lengthy testing before they are ready for prime time.
A closer look (On Deck)
These are hot topic issues in the Player Community, QA and CS. This list does not represent all the issues we are taking a closer look at, but are issues at the top of our list. Occasionally an issue is not a bug or may even work as designed. In that case additional steps will need to be taken to resolve the issue. ETAs for resolutions in this section vary by issue.
Up Next!
In Development
These are features we are working on right now. They have made it through the design phase and are being implemented. Items in this section will move to "In Test" once complete.
On the Schedule
These are updates that are next on the list to implement. Some features have a longer development time than others but these are what the team will be looking to move on to soon.
In Design Discussion
These items in design discussion are for features that are being considered for an upcoming update. The next step for these topics is to have them added to the schedule. Some of these are smaller, quicker tasks while others are a lot larger and require more to design and implement.
The Future
These are features that we are working towards. Items listed in this section need the most discussion and are subject to the largest change. This list does not represent all the things we want or are planning to do but they are some of the larger things we are planning and working towards.
Disclaimer:
Our goal is and always will be to release the best content we can to you, our players. If it takes a little more time to ensure a feature or update is ready for live we will take that time. Additionally, if a date changes or something gets moved on the list we will do our best to keep you updated.
If I can add just one more disclaimer: This list of issues, features and plans are not a complete list of everything. There are a ton of features, improvements and updates that we have and will continue to discuss both internally and on the forums. If something is not listed it does not mean that it has been forgotten, dropped or is about to be released.
As always your comments and feedback on these updates are always welcome. The Dev team will be keeping a close eye on the threads looking for your feedback.
Thanks a ton!
