Good vid, it's really sad that my locker got reset, I had like 50 skins from all era battlepass lol. Btw do you know if the contributor+ is coming back for whoever bought it?
Unfortunately I don't know for sure, it seems like the contributor discord role doesn't even exist right now. Seems with the new server they reset a lot of the roles, but we will have to see what they do once Era launches fully.
As of today duos and squads are working fine from what I can tell. The real thing that will hold back the launch is the challenge and progression system. Levels still don't grant stars or v-bucks, daily quests never refresh and all, but one weekly is broken. Other than that though everything seems to be going smoothly.
Good point, challenges will probably be the hold up as it seems rebooting is working correctly. We'll have to see how long it takes to get working, in previous seasons there was always some challenge that was bugged it seemed like.
This is new footage, but you could get a few skins from the item shop and battle pass. And yes, there were server admins testing as well, so they could have manually added stuff to their account as well.
At the moment they are only testing EU, but I suspect NA will come as well. No official word on any other servers unfortunately, but it is possible that other regions get added in the future!
Off the top of my head I don't think I had to get windows runtime. One thing you could try is using a VPN and or/alternate internet like cellular to isolate where the issue is.
Android was not working in Era Season 8 earlier this year, but it sounds like it may be possible to get it working in the future. Haven't heard any official confirmation as of yet, but hopefully it does come!
At some point in the future that is supposed to happen, but it will be quite a while before we reach that point. If Era were to cycle back it would be at the earliest season X from what I hear.
