Hey! We’re working on a simple process for creators to apply for obs cam privileges...hoping to have that finalized today or by tomorrow, at the latest. Keep on eye on official channels.

Thanks for the detail. I’ll start another thread tomorrow - the more people we can get to share, the easier it will be to identify the culprit.

😂

Thanks, this was reported above as well and we're tracking a priority fix for this!

We've had difficulty re-producing the exact conditions at the root of the issue, but it's definitely a problem. Just committed more team resources today to continue investigating a potential fix.

Oy, yea. Thanks for the quick report! We're tracking this and working on a priority fix.

for sure, and you're obviously not alone. I doubt it will be one big "solution" that perfectly adjusts the scoring balance - we'll have changes along the lines of what you're envisioning for next season, and we'll continue working to balance qualification as new ideas/concerns come forward. So please do keep leaving feedback and sharing your ideas!

You're not pestering! They're all good ideas. The tl;dr version is that our current qualification system is still very much in a beta phase (which is why we're thinking of this as our first "preseason"). We've definitely seen and heard all the community feedback regarding OW scoring, and are planning a substantial rework for future seasons.

I can't offer an in-depth update until we finalize those plans, but you can definitely expect this feedback to inform the changes we make to scoring/qualification after this current season.

Aye, agree with this. Definitely one of the ideas on our agenda once we can transition from hotfixes/improvements related to Escalation.

Probably not in the near future, given some of the challenges immediately on our plate - both in PS2 and just generally, keeping ongoing live ops and future development on schedule as we adjust to WFH reqs. But Twitch Drops are absolutely an area we have ideas for going into our next major update.

That said, player retention is always a top priority, and we have substantial plans for that well beyond what we plan for Twitch - starting with improving performance and in-game stability, and moving rapidly to new content that...while we’re not ready to unveil it yet...we think the community will be majorly receptive to.

Keep the ideas coming, tho!

lol, you and all of us my friend :)

prego!

yup, this. Straight from the source :)

Only on Desolation, yes. Those would be separate balance changes we'd look at in a future patch. Next week's patch will primarily focus on Outfit Wars / Desolation / Sanctuary / Bastion fixes / additional high-priority fixes occurring on Live.

I *believe* that applies to the Desolation terminals at each faction/outfit warpgate, but will have to confirm on Test.

Hi all,

Just a heads-up that PTS is currently down as we work to bring a new update to the Test Server for this weekend. PTS should unlock by 3:00 PM PDT today (Friday, March 20) - that's probably conservative, but this patch does include new map exports which are pretty large files.

Today's patch includes extensive changes for Outfit Wars and Desolation, the new Asteroid continent utilized in OW competitions, which remains work-in-progress leading into our first preseason competition. There are also plenty of new fixes for the Bastion and other issues. The goal is to test these changes on PTS this weekend, before bringing them to live servers next week.
