Mainframe Thanks Pax Dei Alpha Testers, Finds a Way to Invite More and Test Capacity

Mainframe is thanking Pax Dei alpha testers, inviting new ones, and meeting server capacity test goals, and outlining what to expect for the rest of alpha.

Back on Monday, the team announced via Discord that they had sent a new wave of alpha invites to people that had signed up before in the November 12th cutoff date. This included those who had applied with a Friend Token. After this, they noted that there were many who would not be able to get an invite this time, as resource limits were a factor. 

Today, the team announced that, after analyzing the invites they had sent out, that a number of people sent invites never opened their emails. They decided to send out more invites for a total of over 11,000 this round, which helps them “ensure we can reach our objective of filling in a full shard”. Once again this only applied to people that had applied to test before November 12th, but now there are more people getting the opportunity to jump in and start building.

During the alpha so far, there are six major issues that they’re working on, following feedback and bug reports from testers. They're working on them but also note that the alpha will end next week and they might not be able to fix all of them by the time it wraps.  as far as the liveops team goes, they have been working on all of the issues, from small bugs to big ones as well as improving the player experience. One of their major goals was to test out the server infrastructure and try to meet those limits so the abundance of invites requested is helping them do that.

That said, live support is now going to be limited during off work hours for the team, in the interest of rest and wellbeing. “Even if our LiveOps team members are definitely superheroes who
