New Tiberian 53 World starting October 22nd!

The announcement is back on main page
Tiberian 53 will start on Oktober 22, 2021 at 10:00 UTC.

btw. there is a typo c/k

We still plan on launching it this year, yes. More info hopefully soon.

Can it be launched this December so players can stay there this holiday season? What's the requirements to enter WCS anyways? I can't remember the requirements, but I heard it changed recently.

There are so many requirements - it would take hours to mention them all - unfortunately you will not be allowed to enter the WCS ;)

Then what's the most recent one? Is it reach a certain level or defeat the Fortress?

It's both player level (referred to as rank but is not player position, but level such as Hand of Kane and defeat of a fortress.

My vote would be for the level to be raised and the Fortress kill needing to be 1st, 2nd or 3rd which would discount many especially those that stick around on a world and 12th place badge because everyone else has left!

Also of note to some, killing the Fortress on the PTE and rank/level on the PTE don't count!

The WCS running during the Christmas holidays, especially during PVP would be a big problem. Not an unsolveable one though. Would it be possible to shut down the world incl. ressource generation? As in conserve the status the WCS has on 24th 0 am and bring it back up on 27th 0am? Or even better on the 1st Jan? Our families would be grateful for that =D

I will have to check on the rank and the GDI equivalent tomorrow...
The only other requirement is killing the fortress? I bet even a 20th place badge is a possibility...
My suggestion is that there should be a cap for 6th placers and beyond. It to have at least a lvl 50 army that's attacking the Fortress. The game should only give the medal by then.

Although a WCS should be the best of the best i don't think setting the entry bar too high would be good for the game at moment or in the future. The game needs more interest in it, not less. Too high a bar would be restricting the numbers of players participating, that's not attracting interest. I'm not sure of the rule set for a WCS as i never play play them but would expect that it should be like a mix between the "Olympics" and "World Championships" Gold, Silver, Bronze then close the door, game over.

Don't get me wrong not just any Clown should be allowed to participate. The ranking level if i remember I personally think is set too low and should be set to the max rank level 20 as a requirement to enter meaning that you have at least stuck with the game to maximum level and by then you will have had the opertunaty to have researched all possible researches and maybe even tried them out too. This also shows loyalty to the game and thus gives you access.

The badge level or age i don't think is so important but for access you should have at least one badge to prove that you have relevant experience in all aspects of the game from start to end game.

Other than that it would be nice to see EA take real interest in a "Best of the Best" and would give them a chance to throw in a curve ball, they should throw in an aspect to the game which they could then introduce to all follow up servers. The WCS is then not only the best of the best but a show ground for the newest update to the game, could be a new unit, a new POI, a new eco system anything that they wish to make as an enhancement or update to game. The best would see it first and the players from Gold Silver and Bronze badges should get to vote on whether or not the new idea gets kept for future servers or thrown in the bin. ?

Er, how did we transition between Tiberian 53's announcement to the announcement of WCS?
I know that some of you are hyped about it, but I don't think I can participate in such matters until I've gotten close to a base level 40 in a regular world.
Btw, what are supposed to be the next worlds that are to be released after Tib 53? Just give me the names, no necessarily on sequence and if they have either moral or FA.
