Bulkhead admits Season 2 progression was a mistake

According to press reports, Bulkhead publicly admitted that the fast Season 2 progression was “the wrong call”. Sources disagree on the date: October 16 or 17.

What changed, per the outlets: the Lonestar team bonus (+5% cash and +2.5% XP) was removed by a hotfix after one day, though it was meant to last about a week. A driver exploit that let many players reach tanks early was closed. Level 20 now needs 111,500 XP instead of 250,000. Studio head Joe Brammer said “We were wrong”.

The studio ruled out another progress wipe for now, since many players already reached Tier 4 armor and main battle tanks. The press says Season 3 could come earlier than planned, but this is unconfirmed. The numbers come from press; we have not seen official patch notes for this hotfix.
