Mentor System Expansion

Mentor Squads were implemented late into last year, and around that time period we had discussed implementing a Mentor rating system, but ultimately decided not to commit to the work until we knew how players w...

For the servers that host zones it is mostly how many players are connected to those zones, how concentrated those characters are within those zones, and what types of interactions are happening between characters. We have a number of dynamic zones spinning up and down all the time with the current tutorials, and koltyr is a dynamic zone as well actually. Of course we will pay attention to the performance of the servers due to the addition of Sanctuary.

Have an experimental fix for this we'll be trying in the next update. The character will be attached to the drop pod similar to a rumble seat, so that they're more likely to be rendered by the time they land.

A.S.P Reset, it’s been asked every stream, yet no answer really has been given.

I've answered this repeatedly, but sure. We're looking to revamp the A.S.P. system in the future, and you'll get an ASP reset when that happens. It's low on the priority list compared to everything else we're working on.

A small rework to the summer directive &/or an extension as part of this, I’ve not seen once, which is the Max Pressure Alert.

This directive is pretty easy to complete for the time (3 months) we've given. Maximum Pressure will hopefully be online after the coming update, but we're not going to be reworking the directive.

NS Minigun with a variance of an NS Lasher and NS Jackhammer (should only be on NSO’s and not Factions).

No plans for this.

Mentor System Expansion

Fresh recruits enter the battlefield on a daily basis, and now we're giving you more tools to get them into fighting shape!

Mentor Rating

• We've introduced a new Mentor Rating system that recognizes veteran community members that have made it their goal to help new players.
• Mentor Rating is earned each time a Mentor Ribbon is awarded. Mentor Ribbons can now only be earned while leading a Mentor Squad when players beneath BR30 earn battle ranks.
• Mentor Rating decays slowly over time, so it needs to be maintained to keep the benefits.

Mentor Tiers

Mentor Rating is sorted into tiers for recognition. These tiers are shown when players are hosting Mentor squads in the squad finder.

In a later update we'll be making this tiering more visible.

• Copper Tier: 0 - 199
• Silver Tier: 201 - 499
• Gold Tier: 500 - 799
• Aurax...

All of this will be fixed in the next update
