Testing timeline and cross-platform release plans

The discussion outlines a release window for the game's first official version, a public testing milestone before that, and a cross-platform plan spanning PC and mobile.

Release and testing timeline

The official release is described as planned for the following year. Before that, the next major public test is said to be scheduled for the end of the current year and is described as the biggest test the project has held so far.

Closed beta is also placed in the following year. The next major test is expected to cover dungeons, PvP, crafting, and items, with PvE described as a major focus.

PC and mobile structure

Scars of Honor is described as a PC-first MMORPG with mobile functioning as a supplement rather than the core platform. The intent is not to design the game primarily around mobile constraints, but to make mobile access part of the overall ecosystem.

Cross-platform play

The game is planned to be cross-platform between PC and mobile. Controls are expected to differ between platforms, but the underlying game world is intended to be shared.

The practical example given is that a player on PC could continue playing with a friend who logs in from a phone while traveling or waiting elsewhere. Activities such as questing, gathering, and dungeons are described as part of that shared access model.

Rationale for mobile support

Mobile support is defended as a response to changing player habits rather than as a concession to low-quality mobile MMO trends. An example from a Brazilian event is used to illustrate that some younger players were far more familiar with mobile gaming than with mouse-and-keyboard controls.

The argument is that strong mobile support can expand the active player population, which in turn benefits the health of an MMORPG. At the same time, the team acknowledges that balancing a complete experience across PC and mobile is one of the hardest parts of the project and says a dedicated team is working on the mobile side.
