Are you considering adding a female bruiser hero? 

Yes we are considering it

#1 how has day to day life at Next Games changed since the acquisition by Netflix? The good, the bad and the ugly?

#2 Who is the biggest Deva on the Staff (PS I know it's @Fluxxx)

#3 Do you guys drink at work? Be honest now, I can read between the LINES.

#4 How much do you love/hate this @ATLAS guy 👇👇

( much love from the 6' 7" titan 😘🤣) 

1. At this point not much has changed - we are still in the early days of setting a lot of things up at this moment 🙂
2. Can't argue with that 😂
3. We drink a lot of coffee ☕️ But there are some afterworks every now and then also
4. It's not about what others think about you, but what you think about yourself  😏

I think it would be fun if twice a year you’d let the community submit map ideas to create new challenges. I’ve said this a million times already but I really liked participating in the dream challenge.

Definitely keeping in mind, and the idea has also been to have a community focused event each month. So stay tuned! 😊

How do you develop the walkers movement,
and do you consider to rework on the useless survivors like you bring back to life Ezekiel 
and lexia who is your favorite survivor!?

At the moment we are not looking into developing/changing the current walkers. 

Decisions about possible Hero reworks depend on a few things, but we do look at data and follow general feedback from the community. What is done in a certain update may also affect a decision on the matter (eg. if we add a new trait).

My favorite survivor? Hmm.. I do have a liking towards Tara and her healing ability (I often play healer in games), so I think I'll go with her. Could be interesting to add some more healing related traits or functionalities in the game 🤔

if not, what sort of music would be played if you could? 

"AC/DC - I'm on the Highway to Hell"? 

The real insult is that they always give us campaign weapons with piercing, that are useless, just to sell us later the lucky versions. 

Just drop this emoji in the blanks... I like providing solutions not pointing out problems.

What are NG plans to get GW out of Beta version?

Hey!
I'll start with the hard one. We've asked ourselves this a few times as well I'll start with a big of general context.

It's been brought up by Lexia and myself before, that some of the GW issues are more tricky than many other issues in the game, because they're often server related (rather than game client related) - which makes them difficult to address directly with code changes. To add fuel to the fire, as we develop the game further, the game will put more strain on lower-end devices (file size, memory, etc.), which in certain cases aggravates some of the issues that happen in GW.

We've added multiple server-side improvements over the months which has reduced the number and frequency of issues on the whole, but we're still left with a few pretty nasty ones. 

With that said, for the next release we are looking into some client-side changes to the GW code so that server issues would not have such an adverse effect on the players. Among some other issues, the one we're prioritizing the most is:

• attacks/points being lost after the player experiences connection issues during a mission, after which they are thrown out of combat

This has been the most frequently recurring and most impactful bug. We're also looking to optimize the memory consumption so the game would run smoother on lower-end devices.
After these fixes, if they are successful, we would definitely move GW out of Beta. Now I'll close the answer with a necessary disclaimer 😆

We do hope that these fixes will solve the issues we're looking to address, but it cannot be guaranteed that they will, nor that they will be successfully implemented before it's actually done. In which case, we would continue to look for better solutions.
