Dear Commanders. We'd like to express our sincere gratitude for your constant support. Today's patch has made some important adjustments to the game. The team has been working extra hours since launch, and will take a two day break in order to rest and get ready for future updates. Big thanks to all the suggestions from commanders. Next, we will make adjustments based on your feedback, including Outpost Editing, performance optimization, death penalty, tutorial and instruction, and endgame experience, etc. To ensure game stability, we will take the time necessary to carefully implement them. While the big changes will take more time, regular updates will be released at an appropriate frequency to constantly improve your gaming experience. Besides, we decided to open a PTR (public test realm). Sign-ups for PTR start next week. Please be advised of the following information before signing up: 1.The PTR version will receive frequent version updates, alongside with the risk of instability; 2.Save files may rollback or be lost in the PTR version; 3.Save files for the PTR version will not be interoperable with the public version. There is a long way to go both for the game and our team as well. We may stumbles in the future, but we will never give up on the game. Commander's voice are heard! Communication is open for everyone, We'll try our best to improve the gaming experience without hurting the original flavor of the game. Please give us some more time. Long live the Outpost!
