Just throwing out some questions to those more informed than me.

 

Is there a time frame for the testing of patch 2.0 or is the timeframe fluid?

 

Are we looking at weeks or months?

 

Have there been any significant alterations to the patch during testing?

 

Will we need to grind the bombers?

 

Is there a bomber for every nation and tier?

I would not count on this going live anytime soon.

Not that we are aware of. This is an unfinished game mode atm...see next question.

There has been no word on a development schedule.  I would not hold my breath....there are several issues to address, and most likely more testing, before the new game mode will be ready for release

 

Have there been any significant alterations to the patch during testing?

Not during testing.  However, if the development team actually listens to us, and implement our ideas, then there should be some significant changes in the future. 

 

Will we need to grind the bombers?

The bombers were included in our plane carousels. During testing they were treated as premiums (meaning no upgrades), so grinding could only improve crew skills. This may change in the future, but this is still a very raw product.

 

Is there a bomber for every nation and tier? 

Not during testing....there were only a few bombers, spread across a few tiers and a few nations.  We do not know if this will change in future iterations.

 

Bottomline here, is that we know very little about what is going to happen. We were used primarily to farm data points from our computers.  Whether or not they actually listen to our feedback, and implement the changes we deemed were necessary, remains to be seen.

 

As Lethal said, don't count on this going public anytime soon.

If they are smart they will go back to the drawing board on this. If you are going to copy your competitor you need to copy the things that will improve your game and leave the bad things that won't behind.

Thank You All, very interesting and informative

Yea I'd rather they take all the time they need for this next big patch, rather than rush it as is the nature of this developer.

I just want to know how they are going to track stats between the two modes.

Before you closed beta uber players get your panties in a bunch and "stats don't mean anything, you might as well not be playing", my concern is more of an OCD thing. See photo. Working on getting it even.

The problem is two different UI's for the different modes which doesn't make sense. Their plan has to be to us this across the board.
