Hi all, Jericho has been on mitigation since before the event due to consistent DDoS attacks that are getting past our protections. We are working to resolve the problem. Applogies, Matt

Hi there, I believe we have found the bug, and we are working on a fix. Thanks, Matt

Hi everyone, I’m going to lock this thread because it’s creating confusion. We didn’t nerf the OCA Whisper. It was a misunderstanding on the OP’s part. We take nerfing weapons (of any kind) very seriously, and we try hard to communicate the reasons for any changes in a timely fashion to the community. Thanks, Matt

Hi all, We are looking at these issues, and at the overall balance of activities. I’m hoping we can find a way to award the last weapon skin to players who logged in during the event. Thanks, Matt

Hi there, Epidemic started late, but as others have mentioned, it will go for two weeks through the 13th. The current plan is to start Gun Game next, and then roll into Christmas. I’ll be posting the exact dates as we get closer and finished testing new pieces. Thanks, Matt

Hi everyone, Lots of good feedback here for the team as we iterate more on this mode. Thanks, Matt

The art team has been alerted. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi everyone, All owners of the Keys to the City pack were awarded the new symbols. We will continue to honor the description of that pack as we release more in the future. Thanks, Matt

Hi there, Wow! This was a fun read. I love the narrative explanation, and it was great to see how your clan engaged the event. I’ve sent the thread to the dev team to digest the comments at the end. We will be doing a post mortem after the 12th to capture learnings on how we can make the next event better. Thanks, Matt

Hi everyone, We discovered an issue with IR data and that has been corrected in last night’s patch. Thanks, Matt

Hi everyone, There is a lot of good feedback here. We are reading it all and making adjustments. The goal of Epidemic was to do something new and different for the players as a way to stress test and iterate on bits and pieces of the new RIOT mode. Clearly there are things we need to continue tweaking, but we have just put another patch up to fix some of the more frustrating items: • Barrel stacks can no longer be damaged by friendly fire. • Reduced the damage taken in enemy controlled zones. • Fixed the "Win Epidemic Matches" daily activity. We’ll figure out the balance (or lack there of) with Daily Activities and needing to log in most days to cap out the event. Thanks, Matt

Well played. Well played.

Wait! You might be onto something... Anyone know where I can get a sweet pair of goggles to wear around my neck to protect my beard?

I suspect you might be doing something wrong. <blink>...

Let’s not do this.:)

Yes. There are other rewards, I just grabbed pictures from what I had to give players an idea of what was available. I believe you have to choose your reward at each rank, so it might not be possible to get all the skins. I have asked our design team for clarification.

Hi there, I have updated the original walk through with a sample of some of the rewards. Thanks, Matt

Hi all, I have updated the main Epidemic Walk Through with a sample of the rewards for the event: Thanks, Matt

Hi all, I have edited the original post to include some of the rewards for the event. Thanks, Matt

We are looking into this. The team was up late fixing crash issues first.

Good notes: - we have patched the arrest crash exploit - we are looking at progressing kill roles in this mode

Apologies. Warping is from DDoS mitigation. Attacks started a couple days ago. We will disable it as soon as thinga clear up.

I believe this has been fixed now.

Hi all, Jericho is back up and has been patched a second time to fix the crash exploit. Thanks, Matt

Hi all, We missed another issue, and a second patch was applied. Apologies for the super bumpy launch. Thanks, Matt
