Question on multiplayer

I know you guys have started demoing multiplayer do you know if the plan is to have it out with infernal relics or another expansion or will this be a release at a different time

I'm pretty sure the timeline for multiplayer is just that it will be released when ready and that it is not directly tied to any of the expansion releases.  

Although my prediction of with Infernal Relics if not sooner is looking fairly accurate.

I know that if I were them, I'd be relasing something as big and complex as multiplayer by itself.  If they manage to release a multiplayer game that doesn't cause major stress on the developer with immediate post-release patching, they will be one of the very very few who have ever accomplished such a task.

Given the small amount of bugs they had with Rook City I'm not too worried.  Plus with them demoing it on the livestream they're under heavy fire to make it work properly, and I think the viewers will make sure they put the multiplayer through it's paces.

plus this gives the viewers input on making it better. I hope next time they demo it though they have gotten to the point that the game knows how to quit when it is over

That one made me laugh, "Multiplayer doesn't currently support ending the game."

Yep, multiplayer is on a separate track so it won't delay or be delayed by expansions. We're also planning a more extensive beta program for it including a public beta. Most likely we'll be using it on the stream most weeks from now on, so you'll be able to monitor our progress pretty easily =)

i really hope the next progress we see is multiplayer now supports ending the game.

TBH we might not notice if that's fixed for a couple of weeks, they just smashed Dawn fast enough to have a second, even more epic, game.
