What Comp Injections?

WorldCup-2020 injections for participation / placement.

[Aidan Crenshaw]

I assumed as much, when do these happen?

Edit: Nevermind. They got rolled out at 0:00 GMT today.

Thank you for injecting the majority of the Worlds rewards so promptly!

I would have the new people tier 4, 5 is full of people that don't know what teamwork is. 5 does not leave a good impression. play there & find out.

It literally can NOT be any worse than "Tiers 1 to 3" in the kind of gameplay experience that you'll get. I should personally know on this front. The danged MatchMaker keeps putting me with people that fail to Communicate and go totally "Rotato Potato" in behavior even when they should not. This has resulted in many Match Losses because of getting chewed up in the rear because the Team forces people to run from where the fight should have happened, instead of understanding that not everyone plays the game in the same way due to things like Mech Size and turning to fight. It would never matter where PGI started the New Cadets at, because they will end up with exactly the same kind of experience. At least with the way they are now being started in the top end of "Tier 5" instead, they might have a better chance against other players, and not end up with the overkill punishment of being put against people who are in "Tier 1" on the MatchMaker's scales.

I just looked over the Patch Notes after the Patch has happened. The rather helpful Download Link appears to have not been posted. Is the correct file at...

...for people to grab? It appears to be about the right size.

Did something go wrong with the new patch?
Last evening I met a cadets twice in battles.
Was this patch lasting less than a week?
Gg PGI.

It's probably the release valves kicking in due to low population.

Coming back to this game since quite some time and literally nothing has changed in this game (except being thrown into tier 3). Did they end up doing a roadmap (even if it's one spanning 2020-2030 ?)
