Seekers of Skyveil recently held a new playtest, and the team is sharing some details and stats from the experience, from how many creatures everyone defeated to how successful they were at extraction in the fantasy extraction title.
In a new infographic, the team released stats from the April 4th playtest. during the test. everyone banded together to defeat 31,357 creatures. There were 261 Wishing Well sacrifices, and everyone walked out with over 735,000 gold. As an extraction game, the extraction rate during the test stood at 48.86%. Yet, what the team aims to do is bring more flavor to their blend of fantasy ARPG, co-op, and MOBA.
Looks like once people get more time in the game and learn the ropes a little better, things will go up from there because an extraction rate of under 50% means there's some work to be done.
The deadliest creature proved to be the Soldier Treant, with an undisclosed number of fallen playtesters victim of its attacks.
The playtest was rather brief, only opening on April 4th, so the stats the team has revealed were all from a short period of time. It's a good thing to remember that this is still in alpha, so the team is relying on community feedback to get the game into its best state. Elodie Games is promising more playtests, and the team did already drop its NDA, so there are definitely opportunities to find out more about Seekers and possibly participate in upcoming tests.
The team is advising the next test should be in a few weeks and to keep an eye on their Discord for more.
