Weekly Update

Good afternoon everyone

Apologies for the delay in our update, we’ve had a lot to work out and wanted to get it right before announcing things. As some of you are aware, we’ve taken a big hit in participation recently and have decided to take action to mitigate this. We’ll go into more detail below but this essentially means we’ll be changing the format of our events to make the most of what we have for the remainder of 0.3.

Change in format for 0.3

As we mentioned above and as I’m sure you’re all aware, we’ve been experiencing reduced participation in our events for a while now. There are many reasons for this such as the expected end-of-wipe lull or other games releasing and taking the attention of players.

With that in mind, we’ve collected some feedback from our colleagues and players to try and react to the current state of the game. We’re fully aware of where the game is right now and the effect things like BF6 and Arc Raiders are having on the player base, we want to try and offset that by taking into account the players we do have and the time/effort of GMs, amalgamating both to try and stabilise ourselves.

Going forward, we’ll be making the below changes:

• Move Training Day to Sunday and mix with longer format PVE modes
• Cancel Wednesday Fight Night (EU)
• Keep Wednesday Fight Night Reloaded (US)
• Merge both weekend PVP events to one long-format event (Kill Week, Hoard mode, etc)

This allows us to concentrate on running fewer events at higher attendance as opposed to more events with low participation. We will also be building in a few bye weeks before 0.4 to give GMs a break and work around upcoming factors that we expect will impact our players even more.

This week’s events

Please see this week’s events below. Tyy will be conducting Wednesday night PVP if you want to jump into custom servers to tear each other up. Also, Farmer and DG will be hosting Training Day for anyone who wants to explore Lamang and practice with no gear fear (information will be posted in the events news channel for both events).

Kill Weekend (PVP)

This is about thinning the herd. The other factions have been recruiting heavily since they landed on Lamang and we need to knock them down a peg. You are instructed to deploy to the AO and eliminate as many enemy PMCs as you can. However, we need these kills confirmed so we can assess the impact. Ensure you follow the brief to track every kill you make, the team with the most kills wins.

• Start Date/time: Friday 24 October, 9am EST time
• End Date/time: Sunday 26 October, midnight EST
• Server: Any (Warfare)
