Upcoming ITC Events
- The updated ITC missions are nearly a go! Thanks so much for all of the feedback you’ve given us so far, it’s been mega helpful.
- This will be a fine tuning, not a major change. Any major structural changes will wait until the new season.
- Here’s some interesting data from the poll!
- Generally speaking, you all told us you really enjoy the ITC missions but feel there is some room for improvement.
- Most popular vote on if you liked the mission or not was a 4 out of 5 (49.6% of respondents) followed by a 5 out of 5 (31%), then a 3 (13.3%) followed by 1 (5.2%) then 2 (3.7%).

- 89% of respondents said they liked the Primary mission!
- Most popular scenario:
- 34% of respondents said scenario 6 (“Precious Cargo” with 4 objectives, one of which you move) was their favorite mission. It’s my personal favorite, too!
- Only 2% of respondents said scenario 4 (“What’s Yours is Mine” with 2 nine inch control zones) was their favorite…lol.
