So last season I ended up in Vibranium 3 but now it shows I ended up platinum 4??? Seriously kabam????

Maratox

I’m sure it has to do with all the new ranks that Kabam added and they didn’t account for them correctly in the code for determining where players start the next season

Same here, kabam needs to issue corrected rewards. I finished uru 1 and it says I finished plat 2, major cut in rewards

captain_rogers

Same for me, @Kabam Jax @Kabam Crashed look at this

Same here

Probable the new system already took part for the new placement calculation.

Musikmen

Same, was in GC and now starting in Gold V ... hope they implement a fix

Wolf911

same here

should I wait for it to be fixed? or play as it is?

that's what i'm wondering.

Kabam Jax

The team is aware and is discussing this issue now.

Avnish

Same here.. I ended up in GC gamma 2 but it showing I ended up in plat 2. Which is wrong.

I somehow actually did start in plat 2, yet I should be in diamond 5 with the new system since I was in gc last season lol.

Thecurler

Same here.

@Kabam Crashed pls look into this

M86

Same issue here.

Yodabolt21

Yep, I started in plat 3 like normal, won 2 matches then it kicked me down to gold

Coaxmetal

For me too. Last season I ended in Gladiator's Circuit and start now in Gold V. Can we play BG now or should we wait until this ist fixed?

Repto23

I’ve already played two matches in Platinum and now it’s saying I’m in gold and need to play 5 matches for rewards

Silhouette1742

Same with me

O_Deadpool_O

Same with me, I do not want to play all these levels as I worked hard to get to Gladiators circuit

WinterFields

For me too. Last season I ended in Gladiator's Circuit and start now in Gold V. Can we play BG now or should we wait until this ist fixed?

I would wait until both this and the cosmic armor break node are fixed

Greed_Exodus

I finished in GC last season, it auto put me In plat 2 then I won a match, and when I reloaded the points were gone and I was in gold v

Bugmat78

I’m sure it has to do with all the new ranks that Kabam added and they didn’t account for them correctly in the code for determining where players start the next season

This sounds very plausible and correct. Wondering if i should even go in there before they fix this

Deacon

now THIS is full of juicy win!!!!

## Issue impacting starting seeding position in BG S19
Hello Summoners,

We are aware of an issue impacting the starting position for this new season of Battlegrounds resulting in many Summoners starting lower down the Victory Track than they should.
As an additional grind will be inevitable this season as a result, we are adding the following rewards to compensate:
- 15,000 7-Star Shards for reaching Diamond 1
- 10,000 Titan Shards for reaching Vibranium 1
These changes are expected to appear in game ASAP
Thank you for your patience, apologies for the inconvenience.

Same here

Pit_0f_Misery

Yeah..same issues. I started bgs in p2..played one match...lost..then won the next one and it's changed me to silver 1.

Kabam Jax

Update here.

Quick summary: Gameteam added a bunch of 7-Star Shards and Titan Shards to the higher brackets to offset the additional grind.

Dream on 😆
More like a half hearted apology plus a handful of elders marks for “the inconvenience”.
