    MineZ Revelations

    The big news this week is the release of the primer episode of MineZ Revelations. This primer, Episode #0, is intended to introduce you to the feel and give a general overview of the series.

    If you haven't heard it yet, hit up the MineZ Revelations site and give it a listen! Or watch, as we've added the videos to the website. We've also got subtitles in several languages including Japanese, Dutch, German, and more - so you don't have to abstain just because it's in English.

    Scheduled Events
    Note: The links below are in US Central time by default. Check the Events page for a full list of events. The timezone of that list is then displayed on the lower left of the page, and should be the same timezone you've set for use on the forums.

    Be aware! Scheduled Events are not our only events! Staff hold events constantly. The best way to be aware of current events? Keep an eye on our twitter account for event announcements!

    Annihilation All Classes Unlocked Match
    Every Saturday the Annihilation Team will be running a completely free-to-play match, where you can test out classes you don't have and find out what you might want - while enjoying some time with the Network Staff. Games will begin at 3pm Central Time. (US Central for us.shotbow.net and EU Central for eu.shotbow.net)

    Team Updates
    Monthly Feedback Threads
    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!
