Campaign 217: Launch and Changes

WWII Online's Campaign 217 will be launched on March 18th, 2026 at approximately 9:00AM PST (GMT -8), which is 11AM Central, 12PM Eastern, or 5PM GMT.

We're actively working to get stats back online. We intend to get it operational as soon as possible and we've been working on backend database upgrades which is the reason it has taken more time than anticipated. Thanks for your patience.

CAPTURE SPEED ADJUSTMENTS

All capture speeds regardless of time zone will emphasize greater teamwork requirements.

• 1 soldier = 150 seconds (previously 120 seconds)

• 2 soldiers = 110 seconds (previously 60 seconds)

• 3 soldiers = 80 seconds (previously 30 seconds)

• 4 soldiers = 55 seconds (previously 30 seconds)

• 5 soldiers = 40 seconds (previously 30 seconds)

• 6+ soldiers = 30 seconds

SLOWING DOWN TZ3 SPECIFICALLY

We will be gradually slowing down capturing, and then there will be a period of time where it is at its slowest (when almost everyone is asleep) and then gradually bring it back online. All of these are server times, or PST (GMT -8).

• 7AM-10:59PM = Normal Capture Speeds

• 11PM = 30% of normal capture timers

• 12AM = 30% of normal capture timers

• 1AM = 10% of normal capture timers

• 2AM = 10% of normal capture timers

• 3AM = 10% of normal capture timers

• 4AM = 10% of normal capture timers

• 5AM = 10% of normal capture timers

• 6-6:59AM = 30% of normal capture timers

SURRENDER TIMERS

Pocketed towns (white flags) which are actively in surrender, will now take twice as long to surrender as before. This means any late night pockets that were generated must be held throughout an entire 24 hour clock.

• Old Surrender Timer (Campaign 216): 12 hours

• New Surrender Timer (Campaign 217): 24 hours

SUPPLY CHANGES

Our Game Manager "OHM" has been working with several players to discuss supply changes and doing some internal review about tier date implementations on weapons. The focus being when did this weapon go into service / when was it ready to go not necessarily its first combat action date, a key distinction.
