Soaking in more of the Destiny 2 Lightfall response has been interesting. Core gameplay seems to be pretty darn fantastic! Always loved the game feel of Destiny, but struggling with it being another loot grind. Do you think it’s worth giving a shot?

Mar 3

Likely the largest patch yet in terms of core improvements. This solves an issue that manifested as many bugs & inconsistent interactions.

Just finished The Pale Beyond by @BellularStudios. And this is the shit that made me want to become a Narrative Designer in the first place.

Amazing narrative game from another studio I will be keeping an eye on for sure. I don't expect anything less from @FellowTravellr

I'm sure there's good things happening at the company besides the highlights you wanna continue to harp on. Don't overlook the good people are doing at Blizzard individually so you can push your agenda that this dude is evil. We don't know all the details, and neither do you.

Woah! That’s for the notification Gabe! Bug update - we solved the last min manifest UI bug. What an utter bastard of a thing. NEVER OPTIMISE CODE AFTER QA HAS SIGNED IT OFF FFSSSSSSDS 🙃

Thanks for all the replies Destiny people! So, gameplay stuff is excellent, but it seems they didn’t go far enough with the narrative, which backfired likely because the end cinematic of the last season got people excited for something big.

Ah man, shame that Destiny 2 Lightfall is being slammed on the narrative. From the sidelines it seemed like people were getting real excited about it. D2 players - is this like your Shadowlands?

It's been almost exactly 3 years since I started WFH. Like everyone, I started in 2020. By 2021, I requested and was approved for permanent WFH. I want to share some reflections on how it's improved the quality of life for me and my family. (1/9)

We’ll be updating resource mechanics for enhanced clarity & better tuned difficulty. A few things have worked great, others less so, but TPB has done well enough that we have the time to make every aspect of it shine!

Woah, there are guide articles for The Pale Beyond now! Wild. Also, GG Game Rant, that’s all solid. gamerant.com/pale-beyond-si

We’ve all learned so much as designers. Your amazing launch support means we’ve got the time and budget rethink past decisions and take another stab at designs that could be improved upon. Beyond excited for the future of Pale & the studio.

A number of things are being hotfixed. Once done, we have some fundamental changes & UX improvements planned. The sort of thing you find out after 1000s of player sessions. Sustainable development is key, so we’ll release a plan with timeframes when we feel confident.

More great Pale Beyond fixes and design changes to come over the next while. Had an awesome meeting with the team where SO many things just clicked into place. …releasing a game teaches so many lessons! We’re all super excited hone our design in light of your feedback 💙

Almost there on a manifest UI issue that causes the appearance of bugs of resource bugs. The actual data is fine, but a UI bug due to a late & post QA optimisation pass caused a display problem with resource cards. We should have this patched in tomorrow.

Great news! We’ve isolated a major resource bug & worked out why it was missed in testing. TLDR: junk data not cleared properly, such that repeated use would eventually cause problems.

126

:D Thank you! This was a big, big goal for us. PS: the addon “Immersion” will improve that aspect of WoW a lot for you.

Just thought I’d take the opportunity to express how much I appreciate the conversational dialogue on this game, it’s wordy and intelligent but done in such a way it’s completely accessible with my ADHD (for context, I really struggle to read default Wow quest text)

Feb 27

We’ve also worked out a top level save system design change that’ll be very positive & safe to implement, as well as a way to add an alt difficulty mode.

Actual game data is fine - or at least anything there is a seperate & much less pervasive issue.

lets goooo

That said, it was really cool to see the requests. We’ve picked up a fair few people in Japan, China & Korea, which is just awesome!

Hey! So this is my personal take only, and not a plan. I would love the game to be in more languages. BUT. Localisation that’s excellent quality is EXTREMELY expensive. (Think badly localised JRPGs VS the amazing job done in FFXIV). That’s really the problem.

@BellularGaming Sup dude, have been enjoying "The Pale Beyond" so far. Just a quick question: Are you guys planning on releasing the game in other languages as well? Or is it possible for the community to translate the game? Just wondering.

I’ve got fantastic news everyone! We’ve isolated the root cause of most of the resource UI bugs in The Pale Beyond. …turns out it was a late in the day optimisation that was after most QA happened. Our bad as developers of course, but the good news is the fix should be rapid

309

I *think* we’ll skip issuing a patch today, and instead do something a little more comprehensive on Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully we can squeeze in a dev update video on the

YouTube page.

Being split across Ireland & Australia is super OP when it comes to having 24/7 customer service coverage to support launch :D

oh F it’s 1pm lmao

GOOD MORNING GAMERS! Thank you for the amazing launch of The Pale Beyond! Our team

10.0.7 Baine quest follow up thoughts. 1. There's a tone and spine to this quest that I was worried WoW had lost. DF has been great but tonally its been missing the grit that Warcraft has had that I love. After how bleak SL was, we needed a breather- 1/? twitter.com/that_kind_ofor…
