When there's a new season, there are no proficiency caches while you're working your way up to level 100. Instead you get season rewards. When you get to level 100, proficiency caches return. Because of whatever happened in Tuesday's maintenance, the season hasn't really started (no season rewards), but no proficiency caches either
That might matter normally, except there is no season active as you said. Thus why its an issue. Frankly I'm pretty perturbed that my Hardcore agent has missed an entire weeks worth of caches (40+ and counting); those caches are the best source of loot for solo HC mode. And that their just ignoring the post without so much as a "our bad, just wait for Tuesday" is pretty much a huge f*** you. I could understand if they wanted to wait for an actual answer from the tech people before responding, but that shouldn't take 3 days.
To be fair – you didn't miss out on 40+ caches, you missed out on the first 40+ levels of the Season's reward track.Originally Posted by CorTeZ667 Go to original post
I wouldn't quite agree right there. Or are you farming for XP on normal or hard difficulty and are thus dependent on the heroic loot of the caches? In this case, yes, the loot from the caches would indeed be better than the loot from just playing missions etc.Originally Posted by CorTeZ667 Go to original post
Personally I think that all challenging content and quite a few heroic missions are pretty easy, even with an HC character. So while leveling up 40+ times both quantity and quality of dropped or rewarded loot should easily overweigh the caches' content. Plus you can choose to farm for Targeted Loot when simply playing the game, while the loot inside the Field Proficiency Caches is never targeted.
Just wait and see. I can imagine that they will just prolong the Season for at least one additional week.Originally Posted by CorTeZ667 Go to original post

And just to get back on topic a bit – as already explained the Field Proficiency Caches will return after a player has reached Season Level 100. That's basically the same for almost one whole year now:Originally Posted by Craigfocus Go to original post
We are also reintroducing Field Proficiency Caches with Season 2. After reaching Season Level 100 every time players’ SHD Level increases they will receive a Field Proficiency Cache!
