I’ll also schedule future events more advance warning, so we can get more players online. Please let me know if you have a preferred time, or if this time works well enough (it can be tough to co-ordinate with such a global community)

I-Novae Community Event

Saturday, July 28th 2018 : Alpha Community Gathering No.2

Event Time…
19:00 Saturday, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
World time Buddy Event http://bit.ly/2LSuEbz

We’ll likely be online for a few hours, but I’d encourage everyone to get online near the start of the event, so we can push those concurrent player numbers up.

I’ll likely stream during the event, although it should take the form of a “Gameplay format” more than “Feature tour” format.

Event “Schedule”

Join the game
Get on Discord Infinity Community Discord Server
Form teams for PVP play, Red vrs Green
Get some PVP gameplay going

We are likely to stream the gameplay on the I-Novae YouTube channel

As this patch will include Carrier testing, we’ll need to rack up some points, maybe a little PVP to farm, protect and escort haulers etc.
Then, when we can afford carriers, test out the mobile spawn mechanics, repair / rearm, assault some stations, take out some enemy haulers, etc.

We are likely to stream a portion of the event on the I-Novae YouTube channel

Balance the teams more this time around, as we’ll have larger server population for the weekend.
With a larger server polulation we can test some of the larger gameplay dynamics, especially between attacker and defender.
Then, when we can afford carriers, test out the mobile spawn mechanics, repair / rearm, get some rough support / squad based play happening, defend, attack, etc.

We are likely to stream a portion of the event on the I-Novae YouTube channel

If you don’t yet have access to the Beta, you can pledge via the www.inovaestudios.com/battlescape page, or upgrade your pledge via your I-Novae Account settings page, under “products”

Seriously, Sunday? Does nobody here work Mondays?

INovaeHutchings 2019-02-12 19:07:56 UTC #62

For me that’s a 12 noon start time, so it’s likely only workable for people in North America. For people that work Mondays in Europe it’s probably the worst time possible.

cybercritic 2019-02-12 19:08:39 UTC #63

So why even put that as an option if you are excluding a continent or two?

deathsmessenger 2019-02-12 19:13:43 UTC #64

i can do Saturday 1900 onwards uk time. sunday probably manage any time during the day

TheCoach 2019-02-12 19:14:04 UTC #65

Do not be a madman and do not organise on a Sunday, even super late Saturday is fine as you can pull nearly an all-nighter and just recover on Sunday before the hell that is work on Monday.

Argopeilacos 2019-02-13 07:47:18 UTC #66

Sure, Sunday is the worst option there, but I can manage playing from 21:00 to 23:00.

This event will focus on PVP gameplay, built around Squads (Player driven organization)

INovaeFlavien 2019-02-14 18:53:49 UTC #68

I can re-enable the smaller Battlescape for these events - should keep the action more packed and focused, if people agree with it. Let me know if that’s a good idea

I’ll also schedule a small patch prior to the event, with a few “quality of life” improvements.

Argopeilacos 2019-02-14 19:07:24 UTC #69

What do you call “smaller battlescapes” ?

INovaeFlavien 2019-02-14 20:45:42 UTC #70

The game takes place in a huge star system. Each Battlescape is a planet and its moon where a match takes place. In the current beta, it’s the gas giant and its 4 moons. But there’s another, smaller setup with 2 planets and fewer bases only, which would fit better a low player count. When the game releases and eventually reaches a higher player count, the star system will have multiple Battlescapes in various locations, increasing complexity/size with player count.
