If you, during a match, find something that looks odd, maybe a kick that didn’t register a hit or a score that wasn’t awarded properly please send us the replay file to dev@hellothere.se , it will help us tremendously with finding the bug as we can recreate the match on our end.

There are, at the moment of writing, 220 out of the limited 300 test seats taken so first come first served.
All features that we have planned for the initial release are more or less in. The main thing except fixing bugs that we have on our to-do is to finalize all the games UI, there’s a lot of it, and also to do a polish pass on everything.
There are recurring tournaments during the test and they will be live at times that suit their regions the best. Don’t forget to sign up to the tournaments in order to secure your place, this can be done 1 day in advance.

Known issues present in the Playtest
The belt colors will not update according to your level, they kind of show team colors at the moment.
Some UI elements don’t support gamepads, use your mouse and keyboard if you get stuck.
Tournament info doesn't update immediately, be patient when you queue up for games. As long as you have joined a match and clicked ready you are good to go.
Overall, the UI is not near complete but it is functional.
We hope that you will be enjoying the play test and that you want to share your thoughts and feedback with us.
The test will run for a while or until we feel that we have received enough feedback and bug reports to move forward onto the polishing phase.
