Greetings Commanders.
To update futher on
yesterday's acknowledgement of concerns over the recent changes brought to Exobiology rank progression:
Following the deployment of Update 14.01 there have been reports of Exobiologists having their rank progress prior to the release reverting to 0%.
Developer Note:
In 14.01 we altered the thresholds for each rank along the Exobiology progression scale.
Effectively, we've moved the markers along the progression scale that denote where the start and end points of each rank are, in order to bring more harmony between the increase made to biological payouts vs how they were then affecting original rank progression.
Now that these thresholds have moved upwards to match the new payouts, your current rank may be above what you would have earned with the new thresholds.
- This means that the UI will display your rank as being 0% through your current rank.
If you are seeing your rank sat at 0%, this means that your progression behind the scenes is still catching up to the new thresholds.
- This will remain the case until you've made enough hand-ins to catch up with the new start point for your current rank.
Please rest assured that earning progression itself hasn't changed, but we'd like to apologise that the visual side of things is a little confusing whilst everything catches up.
I really hope this adds some clarity to the current situation for those of you seeing some unexpected behaviour with your Exobiology rank progress.
As always, thank you for sharing your thoughts and being so patient with us whilst we dig deeper into clarity for you.
