In this case, the good thing is that when we talk about good and bad, we are talking about very experienced developer in this type of projects who probably already has a lot of content prepared for the coming months.

At the moment, the developers’ big priority will be improve connection performance. Some of the game’s biggest problems relate to desync, hit registration, and netcode in general.
