Developers Blog: New Flights & Balance Continued

With the preparation of the Public Test of Version 1.8 drawing near, we continue our in-depth look at balance in the game with two new articles straight from the developer foxhole! The first article ‘On Flights and Balance’ illustrates how we have kept a close eye on the impact that flights have on the win ratio of the team they’ve been assigned to, and what conclusions we drew as a result of this investigation.

The second article that we have for you this week is a transcript of a direct Q&A with balancing designer Anton Muskeev, in which he’s answering the most pressing balancing-related questions from our community. If you’ve always wanted to know just how much work goes into keeping the game fair and balanced, you ought to take a look at this first part of Anton’s detailed elaboration on the much-discussed subject.

Enjoy the read, pilots!
