How does the power gap between GS1 and GS500 translate into a singular level 30? Going from GS1 to GS500 is a bigger jump from simply going one level to another, so I'd imagine Level 30 would be a spike in power or it would just be compacted/nerfed? Also, since non-WNY players can progress their GS to 515, how does the extra 15 GS translate when they finally enter WNY?

I don't quite understand the first part of your questions, maybe you can elaborate a bit more?

In terms of Gear Score going to New York: Level 31 items will be stronger than Gear Score 515 items.

Thanks for sharing. We reached out to have the info corrected. As we said there are no plans to add another DZ with the launch of Warlords of New York.

Hi Chris, sorry to bother you.

It was mentioned that during a season there is a ManHunt campaing with a Target which drops a Skill variant. I wanted to ask you: what happens if we miss the target during the season ? can we acquire the skill variant afterwards ?

The goal is to give you a gameplay way to get the Skill afterwards. We're not 100% set on how that's going to work, so we're happy to hear feedback.

Thanks, we'll update the messaging once I get the clarification.

To come back to this: I talked to the team and we're still discussing this internally. So if you have any feedback on if you should be able to mix groups with 30 and 40 send it over, please!

It's a free track for all Warlords of New York players. If you don't buy the expansion you don't have access to Seasons.

Chris,

If you do have the expansion but are doing mission/activities in DC, will you still gain Season XP?

Yes, any XP you earn is going towards your SHD Level and Season XP. Some Season activities, like Global Events, require you to do specific things to gain progress within them. But SHD Level and Season always benefit from you playing.

Whoa. So I get home from work, preorder WoNY on Xbox, and my alt characters will be auto-boosted to 30?

No, it's a manual process. We don't automatically boost you.

So you are going the Call of Duty route where every 3 months you pinch your community for optional "Premium" content? Quit playing COD when that happened and am seriously inclined to not participate in this either. I don't mind paying a season pass for content that I can access at any time at my pace. What I do mind is this constant slot machine every 3 months of "just put in $5.00 more and look what you can earn!"

All seasonal gear can be acquired by just playing the game while the season is active. You don't have to pay anything if you don't want to. There are additional apparel items and you get more random gear with the Premium Track.

Hey you probably already answered this question but it seems that a lot of twitch viewers (with linked profile of course) are still missing the drops from yesterday, it's not like it's the end of the world but do you know anything about it?

We didn't run the promotion from Massive so let me ask some people. I think it can take up to 48 hours before they are delivered.

so how do you activate it in game?

You have to log in with the character you want to boost and then navigate to the store. Under "Addons" you find the boost and can apply it. If you have a brand new agent you might need to fulfill some other steps but that should be outlined in the boost UI.

Wait…what? This expansion, year two, and presumably seasons comes out in three weeks. Edit: I see seasons launch a week later. My point stands though

How are you guys only “hoping” to have details about seasons a week before launch? This is the type of shit that should have been done months ago so players could be informed better.

Well I'm hoping because it's not on me to make these decisions. In the end it would be "ok" to have the final layout when Season 1 starts, as you won't be able to buy the Premium Track as a bundle with Warlords of New York.

That being said we obviously want to have the info out there asap, which is why the Premium Track is already mentioned in all our communication.

Wait, then what is a premium track and how do you get that?

We're not 100% set yet on how this will work. The Premium track will contain exclusive Apparel items and more seasonal gear which is randomized.

You likely will be able to purchase the track with a one time fee but we're still working on the details on it. We have a State of the Game in two weeks about Seasons and hopefully will have the full picture by then.

We also have a lengthy article about Seasons here.

According to a blog post on Div 2 website, they said you can, but you will be scaled down.

Do you have a link to that? This one we published yesterday doesn't mention the raid.

Just to make sure: You will need the Warlords of New York expansion to access Seasons. Seasons will always have a free track for expansion owners.

Nope, that was unique to yesterday's stream.

which doesnt answer his question at all, he is asking how it scales up, how well will a GS515 player be able to do when he scales up to level 40 when he plays with you in DC. Once the WYN come back to DC they will no longer have GS

It's a very similar experience to what you can play right now if you're level 30 and your friend is below level 30.

In regards of raid I'll get a clarification but my current understanding is that you cannot access the level 30 raid if you're 40.
