V24.7b STABLE RELEASED (Closed Beta)

[Chris]

We've now pushed out Closed Beta V24.7b onto our standard Steam / GOG branches. This is a major update for the game that contains all of the content from Build V24 and all fixes and additions from the subsequent hotfixes.

Please let us know if you encounter any major issues with it - although hopefully its time on the Experimental branches will have made it relatively stable!

Thanks Chris.

Have played the Beta up to Day 280 or so now. The new Mission-Type is Great and we hope to see more of that.

The new Enemys (Cleaners) are cool Stuff too. Hope to see more of them in Mission-Types and more Storyparts from them too. The Storyline from them is to quick told.

The Terror-Missions work fine now and the Alien-Base-Missions too. They are not to Easy and not to Hard.

The new Special-Features are great too. All in All the new Version works very fine, but some Disadvantages it have sadly with some Steps back.

1. Sadly some cool Stuff we tested out in prevoius Beta-Versions (Base-Building-Upgrades, Storyline-Plots, etc.) are completely gone or not integrated at the Moment. The best example are: Upgradeable Radar with new Technology / Research-Outcomes.

2. Some of the annoucned Buildings I haven´t seen in my 2 Gameplays from the V.24.7B-Version: Advanced Workshops / Advanced Labs and similar!

3. We had so much cool Content to overflow with that all direct Competitors (UFO ET-Series, old X-COM, new XCOM, Phoenix Point etc.). Sadly the Backstep I see here (Example: the outdated 3 single Radar-Buildups) make no Fun and is only a Square Waste.

4. You can´t test the new Feautures & Researches fully about the Limitation to 320 Days. That about 11 Month and 3 Weeks. To Little to Test out the Plasma- / Fusion and all other Researches which come with more R & D.

With that Limitation you get Maximum the Plasma-Explosvie Upgrades and Advanced Stun Weapons & evtl. an last Alien-Storyplot.
