Dome Weekend!

We hope you’re feeling adventurous because we have some new(ish) ground for you to cover! Dome will be playable starting at 17:00 UTC, Friday, April 17th and ending 17:00 UTC, Tuesday, April 21st
This will give you a sneak peek at one of our upcoming maps, as well as the chance to shape it with your feedback.

Event Duration
• London (BST, UTC +1:00): 18:00, Friday, April 17th - 18:00, Tuesday, April 21st
• Los Angeles (PDT, UTC -7:00): 10:00 AM, Friday, April 17th - 10:00 AM, Tuesday, April 21st
• Sydney (AEST, UTC +10:00): 3:00 AM, Saturday, April 18th - 3:00 AM, Wednesday, April 22nd

Please remember that these features are in a prototype state. While everything should be playable and largely functional, there will be bugs, there will be imbalances, and there will be parts that are clearly unfinished. For this test, the most notable aspect of Dome is that the map is largely untextured, so while the level geometry is all there and should be nice and solid, the map doesn’t look pretty quite yet :slight_smile:

Check out the in-depth Dome blog post from Splash Damage for even more info!

Please let us know what you think of Dome in the Official Forums, and enjoy this sneak peek!

Why only 4 days? I’m not sure if this is enough to give proper feedback.

The Los Angeles time says it ends on FRIDAY 21st.

Thanks! Fixed!

We had 3 maintenances this week I think that’s enough for now :tongue: We will patch again with an actual update soon.

Ok, that blog post is almost useless.

Having played that map twice it seems to have 3 key areas.

The one covered in the blog post is the central Obj. but it’s hardly the only important space.

That being said, I still really enjoyed the map, and I hope to play it enough to have worthwhile feedback to provide :slight_smile:

I think that when we field test other maps later on there should be dedicated servers just for those maps.

Currently you can play for two hours and get Dome once, or not at all.

A handful of dedicated servers would help a lot.

please do not take away the DOME just now. we need to play this map for several days, so that we can give more presice feedback. on the routes/map-flow etc.
PLEEEEAAAASE!! =)

and yes +1 for DOme-only servers, and/or call vote map DOme

Dome was fucking awesome. Only thing I wish there was is less camping spots and less corners where people can hide…it frustrates me sometimes when they just camp
