Hey Herocraft,
I don't like making these posts. But I'll just get it out in the open. I waited for an entire month for a paid developer to finish Townships, we basically got scammed, that pushed back a lot of work and things that were necessary. We have a claim open in paypal to get back the money, but its more about the time lost.
Let me take a second to let you know how difficult a release is. There's 80+ moving parts (plugins,configs,balances,building, you name it) all these parts have to be in a functional state and tested, some systems new, some old, but either way everything has to be "fresh" data, so it requires a steady hand to go by all of them and make sure the configs line up, the databases are sync'd, ITS NOT FUN as a one man job.
Our new developer @Morphan1 has been lighting up the code branch for the last two weeks but realistically, this Township plugin is far larger than two weeks. We're cramming 5 years worth of logic into a plugin that really needs testing and feedback from the player base. We are creating an entire TOWNSHIP plugin from scratch that is by my design and will mirror and reflect the communities wants and feelings. WE NEED FEEDBACK AND TESTING.
I am going to release a BETA server today on the VANILLA terrain with HEROES. This server will last approximately ONE week. There will be prizes, faster leveling and overall a testing experience so people will get to know the new Townships system AND test the classes they want with the 1.9 mechanics.
The delay is due to my own failures and I take responsibility for that. I am under extreme pressure to get this functional and polished but right now the systems are barely functional and I cannot base the next 6-8 months off of something that still is riddled with bugs.
The custom terrain for the new map is set in stone, it looks amazing, the biomes are set, everything is good, the spawn had a big mishap last night and did not get completed so we could use an extra few days on that end to ensure it looks good, has the things you need to play and the pvp areas that will make it fun for weeks ahead. So as an effort to make this "beta" release fun we want to grant the testers rewards for the new map so they have an edge on the players who didn't assist in the testing.
BETA RELEASE ---- DATA WILL BE RESET ON THE FULL RELEASE
Rewards: (Goes to Town Leader unless specified)
I know this post will come as a massive let down to several players but I just ask you bear with us and understand that staff is under extreme pressure and its not something we want to delay any more than it has been.
Thank you for reading and I really hope you are patient enough to see the new release and rework of Herocraft at its full fruition.
