No worries! If you play a specific match where you notice that you don't get the 500 at the beginning, please close the client and save the most recent log (it should be dated with hour/minutes) and attach it to the ticket, we'll take a look!

As for having a lot of places, I can see why you say that, but it's really the fact that we do talk with people all over. The most common one I see is the Steam forums, so we have a list there: http://steamcommunity.com/app/331360/discussions/0/340412628171609176/

I was trying to open the ticket just now, but the logs are too large even in an archive. So I'll just copy the latest ones. The matches from today, I didn't get the gear, not even once, so I hope they will be good as well^^

Hi Naito, thanks for your thoughts! As for lags and disconnects, when it happens can you please do a PingPlotter test just so we can rule out connection issues? We have a video up on how to use the new bomb - if you have any specific questions, let me know and I'm happy to help! We're also around on Discord to chat about it. The bomb dispute happens when to people have space held near the bomb, and will only end if only one team remains with space held inside that area. The best thing to do is push your enemies out of the area so your team grabs the bomb.

As for finding teams, people can do so here on our forums. On Steam Forums (Which I've seen a few threads about), and on Discord as well.

As for the 500 metal bug on start, are you sure you never get it? Because if so, please do open a ticket (You can do so at the PingPlotter test page above) and attach your game logs because we definitely need to take a look at that! We also plan to have a pause feature ready for the championship, so if someone dcs, teams can pause and wait until one reconnects.

And lastly, about the timing. That was a very tricky decision for us, believe me. We decided to go ahead with the change because it is something that the Community has been waiting for a long time now, the first discussions around this happened in this very forum last year, and we believe it is a healthy change for the meta and for the game. The experience with the new bomb should be much better than with the old one, so it was done with you, the Community, in mind. Registrations open on July 1st, which also doesn't mean games will start on July second or even on July 8th. You will still have at least a couple weeks in July to play and get used to the new bomb as registrations go on - so I hope that helps mitigate the concern

Oh I see now. Thank you for enlightening me about the bomb fight, now I have no more questions about it

And also thank your for linking the Steam Forum. It's a bit scattered though. I mean, there are lots of platforms to reach you guys, and lots of places to do stuff. But all places are for different things, and I suppose some of us could use a little "summary" about them somewhere on the main page of the game. It might be just me, who got lost, but I hardly found even the Discord server^^'

About the gear in the beginning, I've played around 10 matches today and I didn't get the gear. However, I migt have gotten it when I was playing from my laptop (now I'm on PC), because the upgrades felt faster when I was playing from it. I didn't look though, for I got used to starting off with 0 gear at the beginning. I thought I was just better at taking kills and received more gear there, but I might have had the 500. I'm not sure. I'm going to open a ticket about this then

Thank you for the fast answer!

Hey guys!

I would like to point out some things about the championship and the new patch.

First of all, the new patch brought drastic changes, both in the skills of the cars and the method of playing the game. I'm talking about the new bomb here. For such a patch, I myself would like to see some "advanced tutorial", or something similar on how the new bomb works. Because it's quite hard to experience all the changes (for instance, I'm still trying to figure out what does the "bomb fight" mean and what to do with it) while playing, and in the mean time, not to upset your teammates with your bad performance.

Second of all. I think it was a very bad timing for this patch. It should have arrived way sooner, or the tournament's date should have been postponed to later. Because making this big of a change in the game just 1 week before the registration starts, was a bad idea. Those who were experienced players before now have to learn half of the game from the beginning, and it might will affect their performance in the game, therefore, on the championships.

And lastly, I think there are more bugs in the game than a championship could handle. For example, I've read here that someone is not getting 500 gear at start. I never got any gear at start, should I have gotten then? Not to mention the random disconnects, which still weren't handled from what I know. I asked other players, but barely a few experienced them, so most of the community can play without disturbances. But losing a game because one player gets disconnected gives a very bad feeling to the game.

Even after this much negativity, I like the game a lot, the idea, the graphics, the music, the gameplay (even if I'm still in the learning process of this new bomb and nitro system), and you gave me additional excitement with the teams and the championship. Let me add an addon that could make it even better: a forum topic or discord server, where players with no team could write in search for one. Cause I would like to have a full team, but it's hard to find players for it, if you don't have real-life friends who would play this game with you.

All in all, you're doing nice work here, I appreciate it!

Best regards,
Naito
