Since we launched Closed Alpha version of the game, we've had enough feedback to sum things up and make some future plans. Apart from fixing bugs found by our testers in large amounts we also need to produce new content and add features. It is hard to make plans for the distant future as the priority might change during the course of development, however close-term goals are pretty clear and we would like to share them with you. Currently we are working on Closed Alpha-Test Stage 2 and here what it will include:
- New full-fledge Quest Location called "Opposition Hideout". It is already present on the world map, but there is nothing in it yet. This location will be like your typical level in original Totem Tribe where you explore and solve puzzles. It will be somewhat like Herald's Home, except Herald's Home was introductionary and thus pretty small and basic.
- At least one random Quest Location on the world map. Random Quest Locations will be similar to regular Quest Locations except they are much smaller and unimportant to your overall story progression - they only have some challengs and rewards but nothing critical to the story - they will be added to make World Map exploration more rewarding.
- Advisor Quests. At this moment after the tutorial is over you are pretty much all alone and don't really know what to do. Advisor Quests will be given by your advisors - Bulat and Zweistein and by doing those you will learn how to jump-start your country and manage it properly (at least from the beginning). It will also net you a lot of reward items to speed up your buildings, boost your production, etc.
- Cash Shop will be added. People will be able to spend their Enkord Cash to purchase useful items and we will test our monetization stuff.
- Stone Age will be heavily rebalanced. Although I am constantly tweaking time, prices, and other stats of the game, for the next alpha stage there will be bigger changes - different specializations will be mutually exclusive - War, Expansion, Science, Culture, etc.
- The game will be wiped. All your progress will be lost and we will start on the fresh map. Unfortunately major changes are not possible without resetting your progress.
- New testers will be invited. We will invite more testers both from people who donated to the game and also among veteran players from our other hardcore online game (GUNROX). We need the latter to see if it will be easy for casual players to stand against hardcore ones as we want this game to be fun for both kinds of people.
I know one major question remains unanswered - when Stage 2 will begin? Unfortunately it is unknown at the moment - there are many bugs found that needs to be tested and these features mentioned above will take some time to implement and polish, so you better stock up with patience again :) In other news - we've just uploaded a significant bugfix update to the alpha with detailed changes listed in our update log.

im an old gunrox player .. and i would like to join totem tribe 2 :)
Asking for it probably won't help, they will choose who they think that would be a good tester.
That's not true. If it was, how would they know who would be good at it or not? They've not once asked people for some sort of entry requirement, other than donors were first. Even then, Berserker has all along maintained that so long as you register on this site - which you need to do in order to comment - then you're on the invite list. So basically, by Berserker's own words, if you ask, you're likely on the list anyway. |

Gunrox is one of Enkord's top games. Top cashers in Gunrox have not been asked to test TT2, even though many of us volunteered. |

Yeah, we need to test it first with only casual players (original TT2 fans), GUNROX players will come in the second stage. I've made an exception for Knut, because not only he was very helpful moderator at GUNROX but also donated the cash to Totem Trbie 2 showing that he really wanted to try it. Knowing how punctilios he is towards game details I though I would let him in right now and so far it was worth it - he already did significant contributions to the testing, despite inviting him a bit later after the first wave. Being said that that does not mean that I've forgot about all other people who either donated to the game, contributed a lot of time/money/effort to GUNROX or just waiting for TT2 release for all these years. I do remember all of you and really want all of you to try the game out, but it's technically impossible at the moment. The fact that I haven't invited some of you people is nothing personal, we will let you in when we will have the possibility. |

@Green Ant The game is in alpha testing atm so there is no way to say how long this will take depending on bugs and different things being added and removed from the game. Once they have a stable Alpha version with most of the games features working then they will post a date for the Beta release. Also bers could i have a chat on Gunrox when u get the chance pls http://www.gunrox.com/?ref=luke1976 if any one wants to join us on Gunrox while you wait for TT2 invite pls use my referal and msg me ingame on either IcDeamons or Luke1976 and i will help you get started (Gunrox Moderator)

For the current donors and TT2 alpha testers, we will be invited to play after the Alpha 2 starts? I've been adding comments/corrections, etc. all though the game and love playing and adding help (especially with the English grammar and spelling). Any hope to continue being a tester? |

Puzzling, once you are an alpha tester you will continue to have access for phase 2 alpha and beta testing.

Just as well that there are no police in the game or your hero would be arrested for indecent exposure - lol

ok, I'm trying to be patient. I didn't want to be a tester 'cos I'm just a lone casual gamer who doesn't play well with others and likes solitude - my game-playing is my own private escapism - but have watched and waited and donated to this game since it was first planned and have yet to get sight of it. Have not received any communication (yes, an invite to test would have been nice!) from developers since they asked for (and received) my donation to 'the cause'. Now reading all this chatter I am starting to feel that this is something of an 'elitist club' and it doesn't feel 'nice'. |

Yeah, berserker, I note your earlier post re only inviting TT2 fans but making an exception for Knut because, amongst other things, he donated money to this development, thus demonstrating his desire to play the game. I bought (emphasis on 'BOUGHT') TT and TT gold and donated into this development despite your earlier rants about how you believed that most people who played TT gold had 'stolen' it or got it from pirate sites and not paid you for it but am now feeling not good about the apparent 'elitism' going on here. Not good. |
