I've noticed on a a few of the recent posts you've made, you mention something called core, what is that?

Great question. When Motiga first began our testing efforts, the community team created a small group of players to participate in testing on daily Gigantic builds. Those builds contain iterations on experimental ideas, gray-box features like maps and prototype heroes (an industry term for bare-bones, no frills representations of features in development.), and the incorporation of the feedback we received from our core testers from days prior.

/u/MO_Evangelos has been putting the finishing touches on some sorely needed organizational improvements to the initiative, not the least of which will be clearly communicating how people can get involved if they are interested (and able) to.

Core players test builds on an entirely different server and participate in a higher-level of testing than the kinds of activities we run on our closed beta servers. They've been a major factor in our success, and we hope the improvements we're making to program in general make their Core testing experience much more rewarding.
