Dear HWS Community @everyone <:hwsstar:535932728886034439>
Today is the day <a:RainbowBlobCat:557676185090392103> The HWS+ servers are in the process of being wiped for the HWS+ release!
I try to be as transparent as possible about it. First of all the last season was running for quite some time and the migration is quite big / different than the RE one. So I need some time to get my head around that again.
More importantly though is the fact that the recent weeks/days I kept changing things for HWS+ last minute, so to speak. Content and ideas cumulated over years in that regard. Sometimes I even forgot what I had in mind with the idea that was 3 years old. So I am still in the process of streamlining everything and giving you a good scenario to dive in to.
Being upfront as well, this release / version of HWS+ is in active development (I know, nowadays everything is in active development to the detriment of the players, sorry). I have three main goals in mind this time:
-
Activating the Cross Server Warp+ feature from Day 1. That means HWS RE players can warp to HWS+ and vice versa. (I will release a dedicated Guide about that this after I started the HWS+ servers) That way you can warp with a predefined backpack content and whitelisted items that exist on both servers back and forth. Dedicated HWS+/RE items are not allowed to cross warp.
-
With more players playing both scenarios I can collect more and dedicated feedback and polishing a big ecosystem of two scenarios where you have more content to enjoy than you possible could within one season
-
Lastly HWS+ is very different than any scenario you played before. Be it the extensive Elemental Weapon System, basically a complex rock-paper-scissor system, or the Volume/Stack Size system, where the Stack Size of items is dynamic and Volume only exist for commodity trading. Not forgetting the overall spirit of PvPvE with focus on PvP, optimizing everything for Multiplayer experience. There are way more differences I have to cover in separate posts/guides.
In the end almost a new game you can dive in to, as a refresh from vanilla/Reforged Eden.
All of that being said I want to close with two things. First, I probably need this weekend to prepare everything but will keep you updated as soon as I start the new HWS+ season and second while you wait (HWS+, for RE it is already live now) I prepared a new / improved feature for you!
I heard you would like a Logistic Feature, that let you auto sort your items into given containers!? Or our current Logistic Terminal feature being improved to support colors and specific names? Or sorting items from docked ships to your main structure? I got you covered
I made a video for you to check it out in action:
Let me know your feedback about it and hope you enjoy it!
Thanks in advance for your patience and thank you very much for your support! Because of the HWS Patrons, all of you can enjoy such and other features.
Now back to work on HWS+ and preparing the release as fast as possible. See you ingame
