=======================================================================================

Also, a new Evocati thing that CIG are doing:
"Greetings Avos!

We are going to be employing a new system to test complex features and gameplay. Temporary strike groups will be formed based on the specific needs of individual features, with those groups having limited access to builds dedicated to the feature being tested. Strike groups are created out of your patterns of participation during regular Evocati. For groups that require just players in the build, we will pull from those of you who have played the most. If we need detailed bug reporting, we will grab those with the most participation in issue council.

Strike groups will use temporary Discord servers and invites will be sent via e-mail. We hope to start using these very soon, so keep an eye out!"

May make leaks harder to get in the future. We'll see how it pans out.
