Hey all,

I understand some folks are frustrated, you want to try out submarines, but RNG has not been with you. It sucks, I can't change that for you. I can tell you why we decided to go this route, but I also know that no matter what I say here, there are some who are still not going to accept what I say as truth. I also can't change that, and for that, I am sorry.

While submarines are available in the main version of the game, they are ultimately still being tested. We are gathering as much data as we can for all aspects of the gameplay, not just what the player experience in a sub is. We need to get data on how other ships interact with each other when the threat of a submarine exists, or how playstyles change, or metas evolve.

The mechanic for giving out subs in this fashion is in service of what I said above - if we gave everyone submarines off the bat, not only do we run the risk of longer queue times with everyone trying to play subs, we also minimize the amount of data we're able to gather.

I know for some, as I mentioned above, this is just not good enough - you want to play submarines because, well, the reason you want to play them is irrelevant - and I appreciate your position, but please understand that we are not trying to stifle people's excitement, we are trying to make the gameplay experience the best it can be.

All of this said, please, remain civil to each other, and to our teams - there is no need to attack a person, or group of people over something like this.

Thanks, friends.

If you read the article, from day one it states that all rentals are only for 21 days, so if you were lucky enough to get them early, that time frame has passed.
