State of the Game March 2022
Hello everyone and welcome to the March 2022 State of the Game post! We’ve had so much happening at PerBlue and Disney Heroes since the last State of the Game post in September let’s just dive right in!
We had let you all know that we had members of our staff moving on to new exciting positions and prepared for a little bit of a slower time while we hired new members to our team. We’re so happy to tell you that we have a fully staffed team again and we’ve been loving all the new things they’re working on! We’ve already added it to the Roadmap, but besides working on a redesign for the Battle Pass our new team members are also looking into our older heroes and exploring new and exciting ways for them to be used!
We recently had server merges which went so well and will be great for the health of the game. There have been some reports of continued lag on S1 that we’re working on getting a fix for soon! These servers had been closed and it’s always good to make sure the sizes of the servers are in a healthy state. We also opened up a brand new server, Space Adventure! Another way to keep the game in a healthy state is by giving new players a fresh space to grow without having too many older players to fight for those top spots!
Now for Trial Events, we know it’s been awhile, we’re working on making future Trial Events more of what you all enjoyed and less of what was considered too difficult. Trial Events is also a more difficult event to plan and implement so we are working on making that a bit easier behind the scenes so it can be added back into a more regular rotation! Speaking of regular rotation events, the Prize Wall is also being looked at in some ways so that we can keep it fresh without just adding a new Hero. As mentioned in the 3.7.10 patch notes, we’re changing up the rewards in the hero quests. Different rewards will be coming in future Prize Walls! Other new events are also in the works to add some variety, but they’re top secret right now!
We’ve heard your feedback regarding the Yellow Rank system and are currently working on refreshing it! The difficulty and the economy to level up are works in progress and we’d love to continue to hear your thoughts on this as we work on it. We’ll be making a section on this in our Q&A.
We also do not have anything we can say currently on Guild Perks which we know you’ve all been waiting on for them, but we do hear you! We are just prioritizing our Design time into refreshing the Battle Pass and Events. This is not to say Guild Perks are not going to be looked into or have any updates just that we do not have any immediate plans for them.
As mentioned in our last state of the game we’re still working on the ongoing deep analysis of the health of the game and its economies. Since we are continuing to plan on long term processes for the game we have some questions for you all and want to hear your thoughts! So keep an eye out for those feedback posts next week!
Now we’re sure you have lots of questions for us and I’ll be announcing when we’ll be doing our Dev Q&A next week once we have everyone’s schedule confirmed!
Thank you all so much for being such an amazing community and for playing Disney Heroes!
