Welcome back testers! For this round of testing you will have a chance to play Lockdown with helpful mechanics like a kill cam and a couple of new HUD indicators showing the status of each Control Point. You will also get to play on two new maps, Furnace and Ramparts! The feedback we would like for this round of testing should focus on which of the CP HUD elements you prefer and why, as well as any feedback you have about how the new maps play. Suggestions and feedback for publicly released Lockdown content should be moved outside of this testing forum. Thank you!

Installation, feedback info, rules etc. over here: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/24087

Here is the schedule for when the Test Server will be open for Lockdown playtesting:

Friday, September 23
6pm-9pm PDT

Saturday, September 24
10am-1pm PDT
6pm - 9pm PDT

Sunday, September 25
10am-1pm PDT
6pm - 9pm PDT

=o Kill cam?!?! epic.
The control point status will ruin a couple of my tactics, and i think it might also favor strikers again (i like stealthy captures) i.e.... strikers will see the point being taken; zoom over and 2 hit me with a flourish.... I'll work around it xD
The maps sound interesting as well..... can't wait for more testing; I hope there's cake.

Control Point Status

Never fear! We're sensitive to players who use stealthy-captures as a tactic. The status indicators will show the same information that has always been available in the mini-map, only in a (hopefully) more accessible format.

Any possible changes to existing HUD elements? The option to hide teammate health, or at least compress it to names-only (with the KO'd skull if they're downed) would be excellent.

Looks good so far, but I've only played one game with the new stuff.

I really like how the kill came shows the stats of what you're killed with.

You know, these swicthes are tricky ones - they have a tendency to hide. The Preview Server is open now and since we opened one hour late we'll also leave it open one hour longer. Happy Testing!

Wepos - besides last night, where it started about an hour late, are you sure you're getting the time right? (Just in case you're not Pacific and may have done the conversion wrong.) Not to insult intelligence but just want to make sure.

The server is up now... jump on!
