[PD's note] The latest news for release schedule

Recommended Posts

Hello, players!

 

Firstly, I sincerely apologize for the delay in updating the news.
Our dev team has been making huge efforts to prepare for releasing Microvolts. It is grateful to enter the last phase for opening the new Microvolts’ world.

 

After analyzing the data and feedback related to the 2nd CBT, we realize that there are essential parts to improve. Especially, policies for protecting equality for players and dealing with hacking and abuse are needed. If we can solve these issues, it would be easier to enjoy the game I dream of and pursue lifetime game service.

 

Therefore, we will add a replay system. You can watch the replay video in-game, enabling you to report cheating with this replay system. The replay system is under development, but we finished making the main function. I recorded a demo video. Please stay tuned 🙂
 

We aim to release Microvolts around this August. Before the official release, the last CBT is expected as well. When we release the game, Europe which has most of the players will be the main server. The sub-area is fixed including North America, South America, Middle East, East Asia and Southeast Asia. We may change sub-channels depending on the number of players.

 

It is a great honor to get a chance to revive Microvolts. The dev team will try our best to release the game for sure. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Cheers,
PD Leo

Replay system seems like a fitting addition, not just to check suspicious behavior, but also to just watch back older games, very cool!!

However, without proper anti-cheat, I feel like this wouldn't be as effective as it could be.

First of all, good afternoon, Leo, and everyone else. After what I saw in this post, I think I can confirm that the moment many of us have been dreaming of for many years is finally arriving... And it's getting even better. As a long-time player of Microvolts, I really have to thank Leo and the rest of the team working on Microvolts. You have implemented a very, very important tool for the game's future! FINALLY, the so-called "Legends" in the rooms will come to an end (I won't mention names, but you know who they are). And now, let's see if they are really as good as they claim to be, eheheh. FINALLY, we see the opportunity to directly report cheaters. I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing!

Dear Director Leo,

 

It is with great pleasure that we reconnect after months of no communication. As always, your presence brings us satisfaction, as we have become accustomed to receiving positive updates from you.

 

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for the addition of the replay system. This valuable feature not only simplifies the process of reporting hackers but also facilitates the capture of memorable moments. While this brilliant approach may not guarantee 100% effectiveness, there is a minor enhancement that could further benefit the game's community.

 

My proposal involves replacing the index column with a universally unique identifier for each saved replay in the database. This modification would enable us to reference the replay's unique identifier to an administrator for review. Accordingly, there would be no need to record the replay and upload it to report an incident.

 

Additionally, we would greatly appreciate the availability of more demonstration videos similar to the one provided.

Thank you once again for your continuous dedication and for considering these suggestions.

 

Sincerely,

007

Its always great to hear you Leo.
Be able to report suspicious players is cool and its nice to see that dev team care about the hacking problem. However, when i read "replay system" i first thought about better content for the game, making easier for people to create montage or record game moments, this is a quality life change and i love it!

Furthermore,  i suggest to make an option for replay system for Clan Wars, because people could use hacks on clan wars and also to make easier content.

 

Now, i have a question... Should people that use exploits, glitches or bugs on the game be reported aswell? I would like to think that they should. Maybe dont ban them at first, but a warning or some minor penalties would be awsome to prevent them.

It's hard to contemplate, I love Microvolts and it was very fun to create my 2 videos and see the positive and excited comments from the viewers.

 

However MVR doesn't seem to be introducing much new content, which doesn't bother me as a player much, however as a content creator it does relatively limit your opporutunites for creativity and original/unique content. MV has generally been a small community and, no offense to us, I doubt it will expand significantly, which limits how succesful I could be. I know it sounds petty/shallow to be looking for success but without incentive to produce content it really hinders your motivaton.

 

I do like being a content creator though, so if I do continue making videos, some may be on MV but I will most definitely expand my horizons elsewhere

Big agree with this, anyways after the release they might improve the pve (single wave, boss battle) and maybe create something new like a tower defense mode (it is the first thing i thought, dont hate me for it XD).

 

I truly think that the pve on MV is underrated, and could bring variety to the game. They dont need to only use old MV things, create items and features related to "Toys", as it is the main focus of the characters.


With all of that, a pve rank system where u can regist your Boss Battle or single Wave time records would create a competivity for the players that might help players to improve and try things, and not just beat the mode.

Very happy to hear from the team, it's been quite some time, some of us were getting rather worried. I'm very excited for the replay system, this will help for many things, not even just reporting and banning cheaters. There's plenty of uses for content creation as well which is something MV desperately needs to grow it's community and attract new players.

I cannot stress enough that communication needs to be continued if possible, even just asking the community how it feels about certain topics or getting help from very experienced members of the community like myself would do the game a lot of good. Asking a simple question about something could save many dev hours, or having to reverse it after something was already worked on. I hope weapon balance is tweaked as well for the third beta, it was my largest concern for the most part in both previous beta phases, and I'd like to offer my help if the team needs it.

This is nice ! 

I hope you also add in the kick menu, the function to see player statuses in case a hacker tries to impersonate another player by changing his name during a match to be kicked out more easily without the person whose name was copied being wrongly accused.

These methods were used in the old game and I hope they don't happen again.

I personally think they should leave this out, but fix/add the in-game report system, it should notify an active moderator or someone to come spectate the match and determine whether or not someone gets kicked, and if they're obviously cheating then the moderator can punish on the spot. On the NA servers back in MVS I was kicked in probably 1/3 of my matches, some days I literally just wasn't even able to play because people didn't want to play against me in FFA lobbies. I was literally given Kick Protect Tickets by the support team because they checked the logs and saw how often I get kicked for no reason... It was so absurd.

The fact that you implemented something new as opposed to just modifying already existing stuff gives me hope, just please don't abandon us again, it only hurts the game in the longrun. Please keep us updated. Also might I request allowing people to embed and post images / videos / links for future reports on the forum? It's one thing to report via tickets but also helpful to report publicly to warn others about who is also cheating.
