Board Game Arena

Hello,

I would like to enquire about progress with new expansion for Res Arcana. It seems to have been in Alpha for the last 8-9 months with no new progress?
I think it plays good enough and would like it to be moved to the "ranked" play so that I can find more players for games.

+1

Indeed, I'm pretty puzzled why Perlae Imperi is still in alpha. It works great and even in friendly mode finds plenty of players. I haven't played season for quite some time since I don't want to play without the expansion anymore...

Adding an aditional resource making this game too hard to balance.
From my Pov as an 1000+ games res arcana. This exp too unblanace, ex: I can perform 18 resource from round 1 to round 2. Please remove pearl and add some new others mechanic

+1 and it gives the game better balance so it is needed. +2000 player.

completely disagree. PI completes RA, giving more win conditions and more dynamic start

I am also unsure why it has stayed in Alpha for about a year now, seems good to go (or at least beta?)

By now I can only assume the pearlae imperi expansion is still in alpha because the few reportet bugs, see https://boardgamearena.com/bugs?game=1309 don't change their status anymore (e.g. some are in status "confirmed" for a year now).

Maybe the developer has lost interest or has absolutly no time (or something much worse I don't want to speculate about)?

Any Idea what we players could do in this case?

I agree with frotes that the expension rounds the game up and I really don't want to play Res Arcana arena anymore before we have pearlae there.

Yeah, been quite a while since yhe expansion was added. Would be nice to see it finally moved out of its Alpha phase.
