wait, that's illegal

About 75% of my games are the worst latency I’ve ever experienced in 20 years of gaming. About 30 hours played. Sazan feels horrible with the latency. Have seen no “improvement” in the latency with any of the patches. After this most recent patch i got into the laggiest game I’ve ever been in /40 second queue.

Not everything is dandy and rainbows. I wanna invest in the game but the latency is truly quite embarrassing. It’s hard to recommend this game to anyone with the current server /latency state. It’s even harder to wanna invest money into it which i totally would minus this main issue. Hope y’all figure something out. It’s 2020 and amazon is basically god so👌. I might have faith

What region are you in?

That is correct.

Will you add minimap? Is that a top priority or do you think there shouldnt be one?

I can’t speak for what that team is planning sorry. I’m not on that team and I don’t know the details. But I’ve heard them talk about it and I can say resolving people’s concerns is a very high priority for them.

While we’ve been working on those, we’ve had other team members finalizing our first planned update, which will be a larger set of improvements and bug fixes related to core gameplay and quality of life—we’ll push it out once it’s ready.

I assume this has communication stuff

EDIT: I was wrong. See dev response below

Just to get ahead of this, I can confirm that our first Pre-Season update doesn't include voice chat. It's our top priority as a studio right now and we're shuffling internal resources to get it out sooner than we even originally planned, but it's not ready quite yet.

Changes:

• Increased the time allowed for players to connect to matches as well as the time allowed for players who drop out of queue to be replaced. While some matches may now take longer to load, this change will result in fewer cancelled games.
• Made an additional change to prevent Heart of the Hives matches starting with a 3 vs. 5 team imbalance.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug that caused Bugg's Crop Dust [E] ability to inflict permanent vulnerability.
• Fixed a bug that caused Summer's Magma Spiral [Q] ability to continuously apply damage to Bugg under certain circumstances.
• Fixed a bug that prevented profile icons from properly displaying in the Pre-Season Battle Pass rewards.

Developer’s note: Right now our focus is on resolving issues with connectivity, latency, and matchmaking as well as improving the success rate of the “backfill” feature which prevents matches from starting with missing players. We’ve made a lot of progress on these fronts over the past few days, but there’s...

Thanks for the report - we're tracking the issue with the dummy hit boxes. In this particular case, the size of the hit boxes are out of whack.

This issue with the dummy hit boxes is different than hit reg issues seen in regular gameplay. Videos would be super useful for diagnosing those cases. Please post any links you might have!

• Fixed a bug related to matchmaking. Players now have a higher likelihood of getting a match in their local region.
• Updated the default game mode selection upon login. Players who have completed the tutorial will be shown Harvester Command as their default game mode when they log in. You can click on the game mode button to select a different mode.

Much appreciated for buying the founders pack! Voice and chat are a top priority for us. In the meantime, the official discord has some voice channels open, if you would like to try finding teams there.
