There have been a number of questions in regards to the upcoming wipe and grind changes. We will explain the theory behind those changes.

As a team (dev team) we recently agreed that the first edition of the Warmap was not going to work out as well as we hoped. It was very difficult to tell EiRRmod that the year of work he put into it needed to be changed.......... but I digress.

As a result, there will be another delay in the Warmap release. While this may seem disappointing, keep in mind it is better to have a delay for a great product then to have a lesser product made quickly.


Launcher numbers are down and the general community is getting a little bored. Marketing 101 indicates we need to do something to generate some interest and "Newness".

SO - we decided perhaps a wipe would create a new war environment and some different game play. The problem with a wipe is that it takes for fucking ever to grind up a company. It is this same reason why many people do not try all the factions or companies. It just takes too long.

Now we have a compromise:
Every Thursday between 06:00 and 08:00 Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8:00), I will be making the following changes to everyone's account:

50 pp will be added to all of your companies
xp will be increased each week to ensure every company is at a minimum level or higher.

For Example:
Week 01 = 0 xp
Week 02 = 100 xp (or level 1)
Week 03 = 200 xp (or level 2)

What this means is we will be making each company have enough xp to level up each week. If you play games you will level up faster. If you are unable to play games, you will still level up each week.

The pp increases are obviously there so that you can unlock your doctrine choices as you level up.

This temporary change is similar to how the Warmap will affect companies in the future. Companies will level up as the Warmap progresses.


We suggest taking this time to try new builds, factions, and abilities with out the hassle of a long drawn out grind.

Have fun!!!

Yes, if your only goal is to have a level 9 company and not actually play the game for the enjoyment factor.

It is hard to design an interesting community for people who actually like to play the game and fucking morons who just want a lvl 9 company to sing about at the same time.

The trick, is you need to make the game fun first.

Same old shit game in and game out get's old. Fuck the warmap, get some new gamemodes.

[3rdCondor]

Great idea.

EirMod shouldn't sweat it though because his work was essential for you guys to figure out what needed to be changed. Through variation and selection you guys will figure the whole thing out.

ADDED: This is great too because then I'll come back from OSU with a ton of level 9 coys xD

Better yet, when did a dev member ever follow a single rule?

[smurfORnot]

okay,so tank you punish others when they dont follow rules,and yet,you dont behold to them...actually I am not surprised,it's like this everywhere.

[Evilnrg]

[AmPM]

Exactly.

Day 1, make 10 companies....come back in a few weeks, troll peoples vet.

[nikomas]

Gee, now I feel dumb for keeping those reward units alive

If this

Patch 0.7.9Y

After the reset, PP and XP gain will be set at 150%, which should reduce the grind.

Will still be in effect 1 win should give you 75 XP so playing and winning 2 games should level you up 1 level and 3 games up 2 levels.

[Rainbows]

You get 15xp for a win and 7xp for a loss, I'm pretty sure. Maybe more if the others are higher level than you, but I remember agonizing about how little xp I was gaining per loss when getting my armour company to lv9 from lv8. 50% extra is 22/10xp per game, not a whopping 75xp for a win.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

15?
bullshit i always no matter what get 30 Xp for a win regardless who i play against or what level i am at.

[Rainbows]

I distinctly remember getting 15 exp several games and 7 exp several games, as all of my lv8 games are in my memory because I was really excited to get to lv9, so... lucky you?

[8thRifleRegiment]
