Ah, I see. I might do something about that door on Hamada, but the side of the Cathedral is closed for (I think) a good reason. :)

If there's too many entrances it just suddenly becomes very hard to defend - it has to be enough so that most of them are watched by somebody on the defender side at all times. I want the successful push through an entrance to be a happy exception that an attacker worked for rather than a consistent reliable occurrence.

If that makes any sense.

:D

It could be and I'm going to work with the team to find ways to have those conversations. Likely interactive (possibly a stream) as the more we drill down into this type of stuff, the more we're conscious that it appeals to a smaller audience and so we'd want to make it so that we could get the answers to the questions you have in real time vs spending hours and hours either crafting the most detailed message, or trying to do back and forths somewhere here like Reddit.

It's not a case of 'You wouldn't understand' it's just managing our time as best as possible so that when we do something, the benefit is balanced by the number of people who we know will want that info.

It's being built, but it's not to say the feedback isn't wanted. I'll send this through to the team next week when they're back in the office.

Joke seems familiar to me...hmmm?

like Donkey Kong.

During Chapter 4. The exact date isn't locked yet, so to be as fair as possible, I wanted to make sure that people understood that it's not presently expected to be in the update that starts Chapter 4.

I'll be back (hopefully) with a firmer update at the end of June

Only when the update that activates this feature releases.

Regarding the Weapon Aspect, that's our feeling too. None of us are comfortable with the idea of Weapons being out of reach. If it affects gameplay it should be accessible.

I don't know the technical aspects of it, but I would volunteer that it's not as simple as just writing new ranks in to bolt them on the end of what we have. We originally built a system that went to 50, with a belief that folks would be happy with the additional levelling offered via Tides of War.

We've heard the feedback that says you'd also prefer your main rank kept going, so we've looked at what we can do to pull the system apart and put an entirely new one in it's place. Soon as we're confident it works, it'll go into the game.

You will :)

Fresh start from 50.

We should be in a good place to nail down the date by end of June. Soon as we know exactly what update it's going into, we'll say.

Everyones starting on the same field.

It's on.

Before we get into the weekend, I also wanted to give you a heads up on next weeks rotation.

The present Mecury only playlist (Mercury Only, Conquest and Breakthrough) will be switched out.

In it's place, a Mercury only playlist with smaller modes (Frontlines, Domination, and Team Deathmatch).

We'll look to communicate this type of stuff more with you going forwards.

Community Broadcast - Introducing Promotions

Afternoon folks -

One of the standout pieces of feedback that we’ve received over the past six months has been that you want the ability to keep levelling your Career Rank beyond 50. So during the later part of Chapter 4: Defying the Odds, we’re upping the cap to let you progress all the way to Career Rank 500.

Note: This post is numbers heavy! Don’t be shy to ask questions in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer. We're in active development of the feature now and so take the below as a first look at the work that we've done so far.

For every 50 ranks that you gain, you’ll earn a Promotion, signi...

Thanks a lot for commenting even though you didn't like it, it means a lot! :)

Pre-made fortifications that can't be taken down? What do you mean? That sounds like a bug. I'll see what I can do about the starting area for the attackers.

Rest of it is valid, I think. Thanks!

I'll take a look at that, thanks for the suggestion!
