Fun fact:
This is the exact picture that inspired this node. We thought it was a lovely rhyme and that it would fit well during the week of valentine. For most Chapters we have tried to get some "just for fun"-nodes into the weeks such as the Build a Snowman and Sonny Tater etc.
There's no deeper intention behind this, just much love <3
Personally I think Outpost is pretty cool. But what I really wanted to clarify is that unless the criteria of a node requires you to play a specific game mode, you can complete it in a game mode of your choice.
So in order to unlock the weapon skin the only thing you absolutely have to do in Outpost is to build 5 fortifications.
Thanks for commenting here and registrating this bug. :)
May we get to know how MatchXP is calculated generally for TOW? Or at least which parameters are used for the calculation? CareerXP, win/loss, time played, ...?
It is based off score, time, match outcome (win, major win etc) and is slightly different per game mode. There is also a cap on how much you can earn in a round.
Basically you need to participate and play the full round to maximize your earnings, if you want to increase it further you need to ptfo and earn a lot of score.
It looks like match is indeed showing the match + nodes amount. (a bug)
This is only a visual representation bug in the end of round by the looks of it, but will nonetheless make sure it's reported and gets fixed.
Good catch, thank you!
This reads so confusing. Are "Tiers" and "Chapter Ranks" not the same thing?
You can read it like this.
Tier 1 = The first reward
Tier 2 = The second reward
Tier 20 = The 20th reward
etc...
This is not the same as Chapter Rank, because the Rank can only be earned through playing and earning Chapter XP. Whenever you rank up you will unlock the next reward.
If you Unlock Tiers by purchasing them directly, through the Chapter Booster or by completing the above mentioned week you will unlock the next X rewards but you will not get a higher Rank.
A higher rank is only available through gameplay and completing weekly challenges.
The Bronze, Silver and Gold Dogtag are tied to these ranks as well.
EDIT: Nevermind just realized it's tier skip not a chapter rank. HUGE disappointment, that's the second time you give us CC. Just give us a random cosmetic at least, like you did with the Winterkrieg hat.
Edit 2 : Seems like I got confused, the token does indeed make you skip a chapter rank. So no disapointment here, it's great actually. (Except for those of you who are already rank 40 but that's definitely not my case lmao)
How does the Token works ? Does it directly gives one tier when unlocked ? Or can you use it later ? Being able to use it on the last tier would be great because it represents a lot more XP.
Also, will it give you just enough XP to finish the tier, or will it give you as much XP needed for the tier ? For example you're Tier 1 and there is 10k XP between Tier 1 and Tier 2. If you already have 2k XP out of 10k, does it give you 8k XP or 10k XP ?
The Tier Unlock will instantly unlock 1 Tier for you. It works exactly like the purchasable unlock of tiers in the sense that you will retain any current progress.
So for example:If you are on Tier 19 and have 30 000/65 000 XP on your way to 20. You will then instantly unlock the 20th tier and have 30 000/65 000XP on your way to 21.
This will not alter your Chapter Rank, this also means that it doesn't really matter when you unlock it as the XP required for your next rank (and tier unlock) will remain the same.
Nice shot! The distance is 531 as logged by your Marksman bonus. (if >50m and a headshot using bolt action rifles)
I believe you can achieve this in any PVP MP mode.
This is correct.
By default Tides of War weekly nodes can be completed in any Multiplayer PVP mode (that does NOT include Combined Arms (co-op)).
If the node has any further game mode restrictions then that should be mentioned in the text.
For example:
"Capture 5 objectives in Conquest" - can only be done in Conquest.
"Capture 5 objectives" - can be done in any multiplayer game mode regardless if the week is focused on Conquest.
Previously we did have some nodes that you could complete within Combined Arms. If we do this again it will be mentioned in the text accordingly.
Can just confirm that this is indeed the case. And the current criteria text string is incorrect.
Kill 2 enemies with headshots in one life in any game mode.
Welcome back.
As a general rule we will always make sure that any gameplay content such as weapons and vehicles that are introduced as weekly rewards will be obtainable even if you miss out on the week. Currently by earning Company coins and then unlocking them in your Company.
When it comes to cosmetic weekly rewards they may be purchasable at a later stage but some of them are exclusive to the current chapter. This is on a case by case basis.
I don't see why they don't just add the actual task to be performed under the flavor text.
You are right of course. It’s a bug and we are looking to hotfix it before week 2 starts.
The correct criteria is as /u/solid-ace2017 described.
If you look at any other node they should display their criteria instead.
We are unfortunately still experiencing inconsistencies when it comes to tracking of the Tides of War assignments in general (not specific to any single one)
Trust me when I say that this saddens me a lot. We have engineers currently investigating the issue and I really wish I had more information to share at this moment.
As of right now, one thing that is confirmed is that if you bring up the pause menu and don't see your correct progress on the right panel, then ToW assignments will not track properly.
Good work on getting to rank 20!
For Chapter 1: Overture there is currently no added benefit from completing more than what you need to unlock the rewards, in case you have already reached max chapter rank (20 for Overture).
We are looking at tweaking several different aspects of this progression going forward into future chapters. But XP will not be carried over.
Let me know when it works. That’s annoying.
It should work now.
Let me know when it works. That’s annoying.
Hold the fort should be fixed now.
We are aware of the issue, it’s a bug. Currently working on solving it.

Hey Guys.. Thanks for the update and for quickly fix the issue which caused all the delay.
I saw some post about the rewards for leveling up my "Tides of War" rank up to 20. So, my question is: How can I level up my ToW Rank? If I complete all assignments, I will get all the new weapons... Does that mean that I'm gonna be level 20 also? Would I be able to become level 20 right in the first chapter or it is something that I must hold until last chapter?
Again: Thanks a lot for the great game!
There will be a unique Rank per Chapter.
The max rank for Overture is 20.
You will earn progress towards this rank by just playing the game any time you finish a round, but the best way to rank up is by completing the Chapter related assignments and challenges.
Without going into any specifics it is safe to say that your pace in the progression is correlated to your success on the Battlefield. So I wish you good luck out there soldier.

Hi, thank you for hosting this AMAA, I have some question:
- Is it possible to add more tanks in the Panzerstorm map? Cause the map is too large and currently, we don't get much tank combat, even though it's focus mainly in tank combat
- I heard that the weapons that will be reward through Tides of War, can only be unlock through completing achievement in the specific week for that weapon. So, how would someone unlock that weapon when they missed the week?
For example: Weapon A is available to unlock in the week of Dec 10th. But if I forgot to unlock it and the week has already passed, how would I unlock it again? Sorry for this long question
Thank you
Edit: When is Chapter 1 for Tides of War start?
