- Battle Aces: State of the Game - 26 July 2024
First, we wanted to say thank you everyone for playing in our first Closed Beta! We’ve learned a lot through playtesting, feedback, discussions, etc. and wanted to provide some of our current thoughts on various Closed Beta topics. Also, thank you so much for so much more feedback coming in this week, we are still in the process of going over them, and as we try and make decisions, we will try our best to keep you guys updated on our progress going forward. Unit Changes from Alpha to Beta The biggest changes was with unit counters. During Alpha, the meta was always very stale and 1 deck focused due to unit roles/counters not being clear enough. This is something we really wanted to try tackling quite hard for the beta. Both on the ladder across various skill levels and the “tournaments” that happened over the past weekend, we look to be in the right direction so we will be making moves…
