Where is patch 2.4 at?
TL;DRPatch 2.4 is a very big update, mostly persistence work plus new earning and spending, and will almost certainly not reach live in April; blockers are still being tracked.
Yes, it is April 29th. 2.4 is not. Actually, did they go out for the Evocati PTU yet? We'll see. I don't know. We're very close to the first limited PTU test. If it has not already happened, it will be very soon. That's all being run by Will Leverett in Austin. I know they got their patch notes. I don't know if the actual patch hit yet. But 2.4 is coming along. It's a big, big, big deal. The biggest jump since the jump to 2.0. We're probably, almost certainly not going to hit live in April. But it will be worth a little bit of a wait. And we'll keep you guys updated as we start getting lists of exactly what the blockers and the bugs are.
When we talk about the biggest patch, a lot of that is under the hood stuff. There's a lot of work being done to make persistence a thing, to move everything up into our new database. It's not as flashy as 2.0.
That's massively huge, but there's also a lot of user-end content. The game changes very much with the idea of earning money and spending money. It's going to feel like a big change. Port Olisar is very different, just getting rid of the holotable. In fact, we were all celebrating in this thread about that, and Chris was like, no, no, it's coming back. So, it is coming back, but it's going to be better. And you'll be using your mobiGlas for now.
The mobiGlas interface, it's still in progress, but they're making some great progress, and it looks very cool.
