Keep an eye on the PTR!

"We've hired a new QA guy who's kicking butt and a lot of my time has been working with him to tighten up our bug database, getting him up to speed and writing some new tools that help us test our new ranked system. Overall the extra testing on ranked has proven to be very, very welcomed as we certainly want everyone to get the right ranked stats/elo etc.

Things have tightened up a lot and we're sort of wrapping up testing of ranked, spy changes, jailor note, as well as localization (Spanish language support) that we've kinda had going on in the background for a while now.

Behind the scenes we've been looking at secure ways of logging in that are less prone to failure and more secure, as well as better ways to require that players update their client before they can play (lots of random bugs after patches should be solved by this "please update" improvement).

I'll say too, that a lot of stuff like this takes a lot of time, generally improves the game, but isn't big or flashy and folks don't really care about it, but keeping security and stuff up to date is PRETTY IMPORTANT.

Overall, confidence in the next patch is pretty good at this point we've just been hitting small snags along the way. Soon™."
