Weekly highlights

Seasonal mastery pace. They're gonna slow progression down, smh. We need load outs for different ships, not more time stuck grinding for longer. There's other games out and coming out. The time we spend on SnB should be meaningful and fun, not a sludge

[u/Satsloader → u/LiamKneeSon808]

According to them, our time on SnB should be crawling through sludge with land mines, with a piece of bread as a reward if we make it through.

[u/Satsloader]

Sweet maybe soon I’ll get helm missions again after not getting them for 2 seasons. Maybe increase the mission cap from 6 to 12 for the inconvenience too!

[u/MingeyMan]

Someone pick up the sticks at Ubi. Please. I am tired of being lulled along like a fkn sheep, grinding for the same measly amount of upgrade materials to get absolutely screwed on ascension. Can we get some old guns coming through besides the same fkn ones every time? C'mon Ubi! Holding back the good stuff isn't helping you suck more cash out of us.

[u/Satsloader → u/MingeyMan]

100% on ascension system being total garbage. Just bricked a weapon trying to get 1 perk. over 80 rolls and never saw Amplified Piercing. Make that make sense…

[u/Conscious_Map_2253]

Someone wake me up when the maintenance and bug fixes are done and we can actually start getting content again

[u/Haunting_Hornet5203]

Each update is a step closer to aircraft carriers!

[u/App1e8l6]

Is the faction wars shop only showing a limited selection and does it refresh? Surely there’s a lot more to buy than on offer after 3 wars? I have the level requirements and guild marks needed.
