Aloha,

Just wondering, did any of you play subs on the PTS? Ya know where you had sometimes hundreds of subs in que and only handful of surface ships?

So we planned this, as several players have mentioned, to throttle how many people would have SS at one time, so there are people playing surface ships as well and to decrease queue times.

Guys, the SS game mode is active until the 24th of June. I know you are all excited and want to play SS HOWEVER, us doing this is actually a VERY smart move, it keeps you from sitting in queue for a long time only to have MM override its rules and have you thrown into a battle where you might only have 6 people on each team. This way MM can fill 2 full teams.

SS went live YESTERDAY, and if you have the worst RNG you will get all three SS by the 2nd of June.

This has NOTHING to do with a marketing plan, as there is nothing to BUY, this was purely for the mechanics of MM and how the game balances teams and so that we can get full teams together.

Relax.

The flaw in this idea is the same people that are so fervently angry about not being able to play SS right now, and have to way a day maybe two worst case 6, would be just as angry that they can't play SS when they want to.

This is the way we decided to go and we decided to give 3000 coal FREE just for logging in on the daily if you didn't get to participate during that day....

I'd say this is just fine.

Also, it's odd you say bots are being thrown in.... I am yet to see a bot in a single Sub battle I've played.

Hmmmm. thats odd, what time of day was this? I'm guessing off peak hours?

Hmmm, thats weird cause I was playing during that time too...

Though I knew bots COULD be added I haven't seen them so figured they weren't needed yet.

Well peak times for us are from like 2pm-8pm (normally this is like 4 or 5-8 but current events being what they are) so that might be why you're seeing more bots than normal.

Tokens should still be there though, you don't lose them just because you don't use them
