Sweet. Bring it on!
If i gotta guess what feature thatll be overhauled - i guess itll be the Achivements/Badges. Am i right? Hehe.
Achievements and leveling up rewards probably. Achievements haven’t received any fixes till this date even though there are a lot of reports how badly they are bugged.
Hi quick question Why is Sweden still not part of the beta?
Maybe they don’t need any wider beta than the current players in 5 countries.
24 more hours to go #KeenAF
It says I need a meeting passcode?
@CATANdominik It needs password?
Do you mean AEDT for Australia? We are in DST at the moment. Don't want to miss it!
What is the password?
Code please.
@CATANdominik, the call is not accessible without a passcode. 😅
missing code
Blue only overtook red late in last season, ostensibly not because of volume of players by because of smaller number of players playing more strategically. Red really seemed to have far more players.
Funny i ask a question and it did not get answerd sad..
@Earthtone, how do you think/know red has more people playing?
@Redbird I should have answered every question that came up. Only skipped those who were a repeat. So I assume you will be able to get your answer as soon as the recording goes up.
@Wind @Maebi @QueenZenta @Tebinium @Earthtone The password should have been part of the link. And others could join without issue. Did you eventually get in? Or did this issue persist?
Why didn't you use twitch. Can't watch on zoom no number to login . It's the 5th now at 1900 and no stream. Australia.
@Gladiuz I had to edit your message because of language. While any criticism for the technical setup of our stream is welcome, please use language that is appropriate.
@CATANdominik I did get in eventually. It seems that the link redirection to open the zoom app doesn't always bring the password across. I was on an iPhone at the time, copied the link across to safari rather than allow the link-click to go straight to the zoom app.
When I got home, I was able to join on my macbook via Chrome to open zoom no problems.
In case that detail helps for setting up the next livestream.
Thanks for a great session, loved both your enthusiasm and Nate's, especially past midnight on the West Coast.
Is the Zoom conference still going? I'm getting an error 3038 code trying to get in.
Never mind ... Chrome shows it's closed.
@CATANdominik
I did ask why the ingame chat is not built as it is in ingress, it would make the community better specialy local. And the other nice thing is you can so nicely talk only to your fraction, a single person or to all, choose a km radius what messages you wanna see etc.
@Nikostratos
Is not on annymoore did end nearly 3hrs ago
@CATANdominik
So why not use Twitch ? It is a Gaming platform for games, pass on information, Show case game, Generate more interest in Catan ?
@CATANdominik
Please provide a short description of new update.
@Gladiuz The current target audience for our livestream is the current beta players. That's why we chose Zoom Webinar over platforms like Twitch and YouTube. When the game is launched we will surely switch to more suitable platforms for larger audiences.
@Maebi Thanks for the explanation. I'll look into this.
@CATANdominik With the quest sidebar coming, does this means the catanian quests getting some rebalancing? As in no more commons as rewards when past lv 30.... and less “discovering” tasks?
@CATANdominik will there be an announcement when the link for the recording is online?
@CATANdominik
Hihi i did watch the full zoom stream live my question was the last question 2 min before end and was sure not repetead or answered 😉
