We've made some changes to help stabilize time zone 3 (lower population period) Campaign operations, and we've made some adjustments to how the number of available Attack & Bridge objectives are available. The Naval Garrisons have received some Rifleman to assist with base operations. We have also provided a quick fix to a random instant-capturing issue that popped up this morning. These changes are effective tonight. Please continue reading for more details.
TIME ZONE 3 STABILIZATION
We evaluated several days of time zone 3 server population and made some corrections we feel confident will help stabilize this time period. The number of AO's available will be transitioned back to a minimum of 1 for the Campaign, but we expect only 11PM-9AM server time for this minimum to be in play.
ADJUSTED POPULATION THRESHOLDS FOR MORE AO'S
We have reduced the population threshold requirements to kick-in additional AO's (Attack Objectives) by comparison to pre-1.36 deployment standards. This means we can expect more AO's to be attained while preserving TZ3 stability.
BRIDGE OBJECTIVE ADJUSTMENTS
The minimum number of Bridge Objectives has been changed from 4 to 6. We have also reduced the population requirements to provide additional bridge objectives by 37%. With 1.36's deployment the Campaign scope has returned to its former glory being quite extensive, and we want all possibilities for these strategic points to be contested.
We expect to see increased bombing missions from the Air Force and more repair work demands by Engineers.
INSTANT CAPTURING ISSUE - FIXED
We fixed an issue where you would walk into a CP, and it would automatically capture once you walked out. Very bizarre, now fixed. Less than a 24 hour turn around on this, very nice job to our Development & Quality Assurance team's at CRS!
RIFLEMAN ADDED TO NAVAL GARRISONS
We've added in Rifleman to the Naval Garrisons to help maintain the role play experience for Naval Infantryman.
- 1 Dock Town: 30 Rifleman
- 2 Dock Towns: 45 Rifleman
This is in addition to the existing Army Garrisons and there will be no additional supply changes to account for these additional Rifleman.
