In general, feedback has not been great from players who tried playing on the Chinese server from the EU and US. Still, some persevered and managed to secure a place to see what it would actually play like.
#Paragon game art how to#
There were guides on how to get on the Chinese closed beta which involved jumping through a lot of hoops on the Chinese Paragon site. Although most western players are resigned to the fact it’s never coming back, some players have been attempting to play on the Chinese servers. The community wants answers, and to be honest, after all the bullshit they had to put up with during the game’s development from Epic, they deserve it.
If they announce that the game will be closed in China then there will be a lot of unhappy Chinese Paragon players who will feel they have been misled by Tencent’s current messaging on the status of the game.Įpic has made a right hash of Paragon and the way in which the closure has been handled. Paragon could then continue in China after the 26 April when the EU and US servers are shut down by Epic.Īs the 26 April gets closer, Tencent could make an announcement stating the game is being shut down in China or announce they are continuing development for the Chinese market. Tencent owns a large stake in Epic Games so it would not be unreasonable to assume that the game has been sold to Tencent in China. The theory circulating is that the game assets and IP have been handed over to Tencent in China. While this indicates there is still hope for Paragon in China, Tencent is not answering questions about the future of the game which has the Chinese community a little confused. However, they may just never put it back online once it comes down which would be a rather sly move. Chinese players have also just had the Morigesh character added to the hero roster which is not a sign of a game about to be shut down.
#Paragon game art Offline#
This week Tencent is taking Paragon offline for a break, around 16 February, but according to their messaging, the game will be coming back in a couple of months for an open beta test. On the other hand, Tencent is ploughing ahead with their beta test with the Chinese version of the game. I tried to confirm that but did not get a response. Players in Europe and North America, they have received mixed messages about what’s happening with Paragon in China after Epic’s Mark Rein told Paragon streamer Sylphin that the game was shutting down everywhere, including China.
In fact, Paragon appears to be doing rather well in China with 5 million games having been played over the period of 42 days. Since the announcement, all eyes have been in China and Tencent because in China Paragon is still running and it’s still in beta. It’s also worth pointing out that Epic has already shut down the Oceanic servers early. WTF is happing with Paragon? This is a question players have been asking for the past few week since Epic announced it was shutting down EU and North American servers on 26 April.
