If things look grim they’ll just drop another concept sale like they did with the Ironclad, that’s always a sure way to hype up the (important part of the) player base.

I’m honestly not sure how the free flight go - things are already bad and when you mix ongoing PTU with FF… It’s not going to be pretty. One thing I do know is I won’t be there to help the newbies this time. It sucks but I really don’t have the patience for SC right now.

I’ve been taking a break since the last Invictus and tried to jump back in over the last few days. Between master modes, changes to flight UI and the state of the servers (I can’t count how many times I had to deal with a situation where game wouldn’t react to any of my inputs beyond mouse movement for minutes at a time) I finally got fed up, quit mid mission and made some space for something that actually works. I’m not even sure I’ll bother checking out 3.24 at this point, might end up waiting until 4.0.1 or something.

Apparently they just opened wave 2 of PTU. I’d like to believe this means progress but I also saw mentions of persistence issues still being a thing. I just hope this isn’t an attempt to push it early to make space for 4.0 testing.
