It also includes a high-reward challenge entitled “Clear Ultimatum”, which provides rewards for players.
In addition, the reward system has been improved, as well as new skills and auxiliary gems around the blood theme, providing players with a powerful skill advantage.
In order to support the amount of content brought by the Ultimatum expansion, Grinding Gear Games has released some content-specific information in the past week:
When the Ultimatum extension starts, the queue runs slowly and there are some problems. It was so slow that some players took two hours to enter the game.
According to Chris Wilson, the main developer of the game, the problem was caused by human error. This error caused the “Trick Flow Migration” to fail to run, which caused the queue to empty slowly. Therefore, the studio is forbidden to move, but most players are kicked out about every 10 minutes.
“It’s not good,” Wilson said. In addition to catastrophically ruining our release date, this completely puzzles us because we are very cautious about changes to the domain’s infrastructure. We conducted a thorough internal test, reviewed the peer-to-peer code, performed an alpha test, and performed a large-scale load test until the player capacity exceeded the release date. We even deploy some database environment changes to the real-time domain a week in advance, just in case, which will increase the burden on actual users. But it is still difficult to release. “
As of today, the stability of the server seems to have been fixed, but some players are still a little uneasy, because some live broadcasters can bypass the slow queue, because some people have spent about two hours in the ultimatum at the time of the release. Pay in (thanks, Eurogamer).
According to Wilson, the Grinding Gear game originally scheduled a two-hour streaming payment, and when the expansion began, they encountered a login queue.
Wilson said: “It can almost burn you a lot of money.” Therefore, we made a hasty decision to allow those streamers to bypass the queue. Most streamers do not require this, so what happened should not be blamed. We also allow other streamers who have not participated in the campaign to skip the queue to prevent them from shrinking. “
Wilson admitted that this move was “obviously wrong” and that instead of providing the audience with something to watch while they were waiting in line, it would offend all of our players who are eager to enter the game but can’t do anything. “
Wilson said: “It is completely understandable that many players are not satisfied with this.” “We will not allow streamers to bypass the login queue in the future. On the contrary, we will ensure that the queue works better, so that it is all for everyone. It is a fast process, and it is always a level playing field. We will also plan future marketing activities taking into account emergencies in order to better deal with this situation in the future.
“It is completely understandable that many players are dissatisfied with all aspects of today. This article is not intended to try to convince you to be satisfied with these results. We just want to provide you with some information about what happened, why it happened, and what we will do in the future. Insights on what is being done. We are also very dissatisfied with this.”
The extended version of Ultimatum will be launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 21.
