Apologies for the confusion on the diamond trails—this one's on me. They'll return as a S8 reward (meaning you get them for S9).
The article should be updated soon to clarify.

Dear Gaben if you're out there, you bearded god:
If you and your squad wanna play a few games with our design leads and directors, hit us up! We're big fans.
Funny thing, but I actually think putting the dome down here would be a bad move.
The weapons on that ship are ODS class weapons (orbital defence systems) since the model is the same as the Thermopylae; giving insight that this ship may be a retired Frontier Wars transport. Those weapons are designed to take down ships such as the Sentinel that are probably the size of a neighbourhood. Dome shields run on a limited power capacity which is why they don't last forever (even when powered by a Titan battery). Under ODS fire, that portable version Gibby has wouldn't survive more than a few seconds and that's if he was lucky. Those few seconds wouldn't have helped since all the civilians are in panic mode and Maggie has direct visual to aim the weapon systems. All the panicking civilians would trample each other trying to get in the dome, and then when the dome is up Maggie would have an easy 25 or so to take out in one shot. Ironically, scattering would be the better option.

haha yes we definitely thought of this
I’m so sorry for my name tho, I don’t know how to change it :( I love the devs and play there game with joy everyday :)
when i see OP's name: :|
when i see OP's video: :)
when I see OP's comments: :D
Apex devs: we’re going to start taking down leakers in 2021
Also Apex devs: accidentally leak the next event themselves via their official sources

Honestly, I’d rather have no answer than an answer that won’t be delivered on. It’s completely fair that way and if you aren’t the person who knows, it’s not your job to answer.
Yeah if we have something to say about monetization stuff in the future it'll come through official channels (playapex.com or Twitter), definitely not through my Reddit account. Tell your friends, repost this far and wide, like and subscribe, etc. etc.
It’s tragically toxic for you guys to be regular participants, as we’ve seen around here time and again. I wish it weren’t so, but there are patterns that emerge from the cash-cow machine that get people lit up. We don’t expect you guys to work for free, or any dev, but things like mismatching weapons skins from their parent skin in the Xmas bundles is a clear cash grab for buying two bundles to match up. If there was honest marketing, you’d get honest purchases. I’m sure the numbers are there to show this model works, but it’s predatory, and there might be a better revenue model if there was honest marketing, as more people would participate.
As a dev, there's no upside to talking about monetization online unless there are positive changes to announce. People want action, not talk.
If y'all see me or other devs popping into threads and then not responding to (totally fair) monetization questions / feedback like this one, please know that this is why. I don't want to waste your time with bullsh*t answers.
whispers it was actually much worse over in League of Legends land you all are kind of tame <3 <3 <3
Lol this is true.
And neither this sub or r/leagueoflegends has anything on r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS
I've got a lot of thoughts on this topic.
It feels like there's a stalemate between devs and the people that play their games. I don't just mean here, but everywhere.
The same patterns play out in cycles, and it has all become very predictable.
Devs hide in their trenches, mostly, and occasionally you'll see one stick their head out and get torn to shreds. Cue the thread with 20k upvotes with players lamenting it. Then next week there'll be some fire about pricing on a cosmetic, and it's back to trench warfare.
We're hoping to help break the stalemate with things like seasonal AMAs, more regular messaging on our owned channels (like new content types on Respawn.com), and with more direct support for brave soldiers like Daniel Z. Klein who like to wade out amongst the people. That stuff matters, and it'll be worth doing.
But man. I sure wish the overall relationship between devs and players online felt different.
I'm thinking this is a visual bug w/ the BP screen vs. an actual bug with progression. Unsure, tho, frankly, so looking into it.
Ahhh, I remember him. Good hire, goes straight at the problem. He saw the post today and it's already addressed. Pretty Pog
Bless ya. And yeah, in a perfect world we wouldn't have to fix it at all, but pretty sure it's a result of us pushing out OTHER BP fixes/changes quickly.
Check my math, but I think the most anyone would've lost from that BP progression bug is a full BP level. Turning on double XP until next week's pass should more than make up for the difference.
And so help me God if any more issues with this thing pops up...
Yeah, that is where I saw it mentioned originally as well. I was confused when it didn’t appear to be implemented once the Season went live.
Thanks for the quick response.
I clarified in an edit above. TL;DR I had it wrong. It's still correct in-client, so I may decide to do broader comms explaining that we didn't follow through with that change from the blog.
Any coffee beans you recommend?
Trader Joe's has the good stuff. I'd say try a bunch of different labels from there. Organic free trade small lot sh*t so you feel like you're not a bad person while you drink it and some of it is basically SpaceX / NASA jet fuel in bean form, i dig it
Indeed. Also, challenges that give a Full BP level reset your Star progression.
You gotta be kidding me. Looking into it...
'bout to make my coffee strong as sh*t today, if this is what we're dealing with
EDIT: Just tested this myself (played a super sweaty game doing the Hemlock damage weekly challenge lol), and it didn't reset my star progression. If anyone else finds evidence of this happening, please share it here in the replies.
Can you clarify the “Battle Pass XP boost”? I’ve seen this claim of 50% additional XP multiple times now, but the XP boosters in the BP are still the same top 5 and win XP only ones. Where is this 50% XP boost?
Looking into it for you so I don't give a dumb answer. But I'm referring to this change mentioned in the original BP blog.
Will edit once I get a better explanation from someone.
Go ahead and also fix the fact that 1 Star is always lost when you lvl up with more stars than required.
Jesus, is that really a thing?
JUST REVERT THE SYSTEM!
If we had a giant button that said GO BACK we probably would've pressed it, but game dev ain't that easy. So I'd appreciate it if folks would spread that word that it isn't helpful to post "REVERT THE SYSTEM."
After we ship the latest announced changes next week, there will be very few differences between this pass and S6:
Seems dumb. My guess: it’s probably a consequence of the recent changes we’ve been patching in on the backend to improve the BP.
We’ll fix, hang tight. Back with an update by end-of-day today.
11:05 AM EDIT: Team's working on a fix. By EOD today I'll aim to post a second edit with timeline for changes and next steps.
2:40 PM EDIT: Just pushed out a fix. And turning on 2X XP from now until next week's patch to make up for the lost progress. I believe the most anyone should've lost because of this bug is one full battlepass level, so this should more than cover it!
