Returning to global events
In one of the previous weekly news round, we've shared some details regarding global events. We have returned to this feature in order to rebalance it a bit. Firstly new players will not be able to participate in such events until they've finished introduction missions and get some gear. The second change is that PMC would be placed in battle with other PMCs or if there are none with people who fight in the squad. These changes are crucial to control the PMC zerg rush on those events. Moreover, rewards would be granted depending on your outcome for the global event, meaning only winning would be rewarded. However, the losing side would be compensated a bit depending on the event itself and the reputation factor with the major faction. Since this is one of the milestones of the game we need to keep a close eye on this feature.
PMC in global events
Unlike solo players or regular players' squads PMC participation in global event would be slightly more complicated. First of all in order to participate in global events as PMC someone with the needed permission needs to put the PMC in a global event round, which would unlock specific rewards for PMCs in case if they are on the winning side and they've actually done something to achieve this victory. However, in order to perform this action the PMC would need to have resources to sustain the operation, basically, PMC would need fuel and ammo to sustain the operation, which would be deposited once the operation is launched. The rewards would become bigger for PMCs, but only decent PMCs would be able to participate in this kind of events. Those who are not that tough would need to level up the PMC or participate in the event as a regular players squad or as a solo merc.
As always, have an outstanding weekend! ;)
