Developer Blog: 18th November 2022



[h3]Soldiers![/h3]
Season 2 is coming to an end, for those who still have an ongoing Battle Pass, now is the time to finish it! For those just wanting more information about season 3, just keep reading!

Most of our features are shaping up nicely, we did however feel that certain features needed a bit more time to be fleshed out better and required some more testing. That is why we have pushed back a few of the planned changes.

After our previous Developer Update, we noticed that not everyone was looking forward to the ability to buy previous battle passes. Before the release of this feature, we will create a dedicated blog post to explain how it works exactly and why purchasing and finishing the Battle Pass during its own season certainly has its advantages!

We are also working on a blog post to explain how chat moderation will work and how to join the chat moderation team!.

[h3]Developer Blogs[/h3]
In the developer blogs, we share all the tasks that we have completed in the past few weeks, which features are currently being tested, are still being worked on and of course all the bugs that we have squashed! We will end each developer blog with a short look at what we will be working on in the upcoming weeks.

We will not always be able to share all the details of our work. Some items are too far in the future to talk about already. Certain tasks contain internal information that we just cannot share. Every once in a while, we might be working on something we want to surprise you with! We will do our best to be as transparent as we can!

Be advised that not every feature that we have completed will be deployed in the upcoming release. Some features are part of larger updates that will be released further into the future.

SEASON 2 IS ENDING SOON! LAST TIER NOW PURCHASABLE!


[h3]SOLDIERS![/h3]You have been fighting and unlocking rewards during Season 2 and it is soon coming to an end. Not only does that mean Season 3 will be upon us in the near future, it also means your time is running out to finish the Battle Pass!

Season 2 ends 28th November 2022 at 10AM CET.


[h2]GETTING TIER 12[/h2]
    When you purchase the Battle Pass, you instantly get access to the rewards of tier 1.
    Throughout the season players can unlock Tier 2 through 11 by either playing the game or by purchasing the tiers.

    The last tier could so far only be unlocked by playing the game. We saw in the last few seasons that some users run short just before finishing their Battle Pass.

    From this season on, during the last 14 days of a Battle Pass, it is now possible to purchase the final tier. This way you will be able to complete your battle pass at the end of a season if you are missing a few experience points!
