Its for both arena and BR?
I am only responsible for BR rank.

Yay! For once I caught a dev commenting early. I have a quick question if you're allowed to answer?
Has the ranked team ever considered a kill/assist limit staggered based on the ranks? For instance, I think gold should have a higher cap for kill/assist points than diamond. Will allow higher skilled players a chance to rank up quicker, while hopefully not affecting lesser skilled players in those lobbies. Not everyone has time to play every day to rank up to diamond for instance but still may have been playing FPS for years and mowing through lobbies.
Lmk if you have any questions after the patch notes goes out...
I love how everyone is immediately complaining or bashing changes to the ranked system before they’re actually announced. Jeez, maybe wait on all the judgement for a sec…
I just started like 4 months ago, it takes time to gasp the complexity of the tools and the game. So you can't expect the new designer to swing a sledge hammer at an established game as their first project. :P
I though I was on twitter for a moment...
Now THIS is a proper communication with players (unlike RKRidley). Just saw an ingame message about the bug and immidiately thought that you took an idea from this reddit post, turns out i was right! Have a good day and good luck with bug hunting!
RKRigney did that, not me. I will pass your praise along.
Hey all,
I got a number of updates here; This is a great feedback, this is an update we can do pretty quickly... Unlike a client update which is required to fix the animated banner problem.
Regarding the animated banner bug; We though we fixed the root of the issue in 10.1.1 when we last released a client patch. We saw the crash telemetry and social media report die down, so we though we were in the clear. Unfortunately, we didn't fix it completely.
We apologize this took so long, this bug along with a variety of other reasons took us a long time to identify the actual root cause. We had to go pretty deep into the code to generate a full 100% reproduction of the issue.
However, I have good news. We ARE confident that we have a fix for 10.1.2, which is currently in testing, and SHOULD be releasing sometime next week.
He also just confirmed that no changes for ranked are currently planned for next season
EDIT: He has since edited his post as /u/SzyjeCzapki pointed out below. Apparently some changes to KP calculations are coming to ranked for next season.
.... :|
This feels like an oversight, I'll bring it up to the design team.
Will the second split be shorter then or are you planning to expand the season?
The second split will be shorter.
Anything on fixing players who lost RP because of these ongoing issues?
Sorry, no.
We are extending the split by a week. You should see the split date update in client on Monday.
Hate to break it to you, that's a bug sitting in the backlog for a few months...
Ah yes. This is how I found out about the harvester beam too. It was a ranked game too.
A response with action within 2 hours of this being posted? What a champ, thanks!
A failsafe built in foresight. :)
Time to find a game breaking loot vault glitch
At that point, we would just remove the vault key as a temporary measure.
Hope you can fix it before KC ranked. I can’t take another server crash glitch when I’m max KP in pred lobbies. Thanks.
The fix is also a hotfix candidate; so Soon(tm)
Until we have a proper fix; Explosive holds spawns opened
live emergent issues
No idea why you think this will cause people to put down the pitchfork. This is like the most pitchforky role you could have.
LOLOL.
I know thats why I m asking :P
I'll make a thread and let you all give me the pitch forks soon.
What if when the drone is left out, some area in front of the camera is "cloaked" by the drone? When scanned, the drone itself would still be shown so opposing teams know there may be a team in that area but the team itself wouldn't be tracked. Drones make noise and can be shot down so there's still counter play to it.
The cloaked area could have some visible indication to the Crypto team so players know where they can and cannot be tracked.
Since you are suggesting changes to the drone, are we talking about the passive, or just adding anti-scan to the character in general? If we are talking about the latter (just adding anti-scan), we are starting a whole new discussion and the considerations and variables we need to discuss
Read moreI read all your comments in this thread, and I gotta say it's good to see some solid thought given to this. For the most part, I agree with you. Passive abilities should not hard counter other legend's input based abilities, and "x is underpowered" isn't an argument for "giving bad abilities to x".
That said, I feel there is a need for a hard counter to exist against combat intel legends as such. There are very few meta abilities in the game that have zero hard counter. AOE damage dealers, defensive zoning tools, personal mobility abilities, visual obfuscation tools, they all have a counter. Combat intel legends don't have that.
Abilities with no counter are always borderline OP. Caustic Nox Grenade is a damage tick away from being OP. Crypto's drone needs to be loud, big and weak to create a window-to-counter against EMP. I don't see why there couldn't be a legend that created an anti-scan AOE of some sort as an ability. Kind of a counterpart to Wa...
I don't see why there couldn't be a legend that created an anti-scan AOE of some sort as an ability.
You would be correct on that assumption; We still need to consider if that would be degenerate in some way; and that the gameplay involving 'creating a fog of war' isn't just 'smokes' gameplay. But conceptually, there isn't a reason to say a character can't have a specific niche, in fact, I think it's a good thing. Creates a strong character identity.

I don't want to jump into that conversation, but that would be an argument to nerfing/constraining scans systematically. I'm...
