Shotbow Beta Live
A reminder, the Shotbow 1.9/1.10 beta is now live! Play it by connecting to beta.shotbow.net
It is vastly important that you help us playtest it. Our goal is to resolve any gamebreaking bugs and get it pushed out as the one and only Shotbow experience. If you neglect to play it and voice how you think it can improve, then you will not be allowed to complain when it goes live!
Read more on the release thread.

Every month the Leads of our games will be posting Feedback/Update threads. These threads were designed as part of the 2016 Shotbow Roadmap, and their purpose is to make sure that the Leadership is aware of all major user-facing problems, as well as the direction that our community would like to see our games head in. While we won't be designing our games by committee anytime soon, keeping an ear close to the ground and an open mind should definitely improve our process and lead to better and more enjoyable games for everyone.
Below you'll find links to the feedback threads for all of our current playable games - each manned by someone responsible for hearing your feedback and getting it implemented. Please be sure to click through and participate in the discussion!

BUT WHAT ABOUT BUGS?
Feel free to post directly to the monthly feedback threads for the game mode. Any user who submits a verified bug will be entered into a contest for free premium, XP, and cosmetic prizes. Also, we will be monitoring this thread as well for bugs, but we prefer you submit them to the monthly feedback threads (some will not be up until tonight or tomorrow).
