Hellgate: London Patch 0 – Focus on Buddy System

Perhaps in reaction to some of the criticisms uttered about the preview beta, Flagship has announced some features that’ll be included in the Hellgate: London launch patch.

While Flagship Studio’s new online RPG Hellgate: London is currently missing a few significant social features, developers are apparently working to add new functionality on the day of release and beyond.

“Grouping is indeed receiving special attention,” said Flagship’s Ivan Sulic to Shacknews. “We’ve recently added a tighter buddy system, chat system, and guild system. We’re also working on ladders, more guild options, and more grouping options for our first major patch.”

The game will be launching with a “Patch 0” which Flagship hopes will lift the current build of the game further up to fans’ expectations.
