The servers are back with a new version. We’ve deployed Play with Friends but it is only enabled on the Brazil servers for now. We will test it there first and roll it out to everywhere else if there are no problems. Thanks for your patience!
What really bothers me is how gold-purchased weapons that are literally better in every major statistic compared to the variety of weapons you're trapped with until level 10 are literally on the table from LEVEL ZERO. While they're not broken or overpowered, they DO make a considerable difference in a firefight of gold-players vs. freebies, and can make the experience for new players, like myself, a little alienating. Either up the availability cap for gold-related weapons to something reasonable, like 5, or allow people the option to rent them out for silvers, because those gold weapons break the balance like all hell for players who either can't or won't pay for them, and turns it from fun to frustrating real quick.
