Developer Briefing #18 – Division (Clan) Support!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to Developer Briefing #18. This week we’re marking the start of our support system for Clans, or as we call them, Divisions in Hell Let Loose.

We believe that giving a home to Clans by supporting, engaging and listening to them is a boon for all involved.

Before we go any further though, we’d just like to say that Divisions form one part of the overall community of Hell Let Loose – just because we’re focusing on them today it doesn’t mean it’s at the expense of other community pillars, we’ll talk about that more in the future!

So! What will this support look like? Read on below…

Divisions in Hell Let Loose

When looking at Divisions in Hell Let Loose, we want to achieve the following:

• Give Clans locations to exist, recruit, organise scrims and socialise in Hell Let Loose.
  
• Assist in the organisation of scrims and competition matches.
  
• Support and promote Division scrims and tournaments via the Hell Let Loose social channels.
  
• Hold semi-regular meetings with Division leaders to gather feedback, discuss the Division environment and collate their thoughts on the state of the game.
  
• Showcase Divisions to highlight their activities, expose them to potential new members and share their experiences.
  
• Work alongside Divisions to help ensure we provide a quality private server experience. (When they launch)

Please note that the above will be part of a wider democratic process, where as a community everyone’s thoughts and feedback are taken into consideration. This list is also a work in progress, we look forward to hearing what Divisions would like from us, as well as what they think about what we’re already doing!

Becoming a recognised Division in Hell Let Loose
Some Clans may want to be actively involved within Hell Let Loose, others may just want to play the game – both of these options are perfectly welcome!

If a Clan does decide to become a recognised Division in Hell Let Loose, there’s a couple of ways that can be achieved.

1. Filling out a quick application form here[www.hellletloose.com] (Don’t worry, it’s nothing heavy!)

2. Reaching out to a member of the team on the official Hell Let Loose Discord[discord.gg] and providing some information on your clan.

Both of these methods will allow us to formally invite you into becoming a Division and get your clan in the loop!

For those who have applied already using the form in the first method, we’re now going to be going through all the applications and getting in touch with you. We were blown away by the amount of applications, so we’ll try and work through them as quickly as possible.

Locations for Divisions and those looking to join one!
Now that we’ve explained a little about what we’re working towards with Divisions in the game, lets share some of the areas where both Divisions/Clans and players can go right now!

Official Hell Let Loose Discord – Community Division Rooms[discord.gg] (Recruitment, scrim planning & leader meetings)

Hell Let Loose Division Bunker[discord.gg] (General chatter for all levels of Division member, or those looking for one!)

Steam Division Recruitment sub-forum

Hell Let Loose Forum – Division area (Coming soon…)

If you’re an existing Division/Clan, or someone interested in joining one, feel free to check out any or all of the above locations and make yourself at home.

Teamwork makes the dream work!
There you have it, this is us marking the start of our support for Divisions in Hell Let Loose! This will ramp up as we move towards Early Access launch and beyond as more things become possible.

We’ve now opened areas for you to hang out, promote yourselves and if you’re not in a Division, find one, so go say hi!

This is just the beginning. If you think we’re missing something and it’s worth looking at to further support Divisions, you know where to find us.

To those playing in the closed beta this weekend, we’ll see you on the frontline!

Just popping down some information to help with any questions you may have in regards to the pre-order beta keys. Please find that info below: FAQ How and When will I receive my BETA & Full Games Keys? Once you have purchased the Soldier Pack you will be sent a confirmation email of your purchase.

On April 4th, you will be sent keys for the BETA phase, these will grant access for you and 2 friends to the 3 BETAs.

The 1st of which starts on April 5th. If you pre-order on or after April 4th 2019 you will receive the BETA codes right away following purchase. Once the 3rd BETA is complete, these keys will no longer work. You will then be sent another Key that will be for the full game launching on June 6th 2019 (Date to be confirmed, but at least 1 day ahead of the June 6th launch date).

The same applies to the Unit pack, you will receive 6 x BETA keys for the BETA phase on April 4th and then once the BETA phase is complete you will be sent 6 x Full game keys ahead of the June 6th 2019 Early Access launch. How do I redeem my Keys? Log into your Steam account, or create one here https://store.steampowered.com/

Input the code onto the ‘Activate a product on Steam’ on the ‘Games’ drop down options section. When can I redeem the Keys? You can redeem the keys right away and add the game to your library, HOWEVER, the game will not be playable until the BETA(s) are live or the game launches on June 6th 2019. When will the BETA(s) be? The 1st BETA will be on the weekend commencing April 5th and will run through until Monday April 8th. There will be a further 2 BETA’s ahead of the games launch into Early Access, the dates for these are not yet confirmed but will be announced in the near future
