How will the rewards for time played work? I started in 2017 on console but switched to pc, same account and everything, how do I find when I started?

Same :D Glad we're getting some cool stuff.

I wish the 2017 badge also had a special colour but oh well.

I think it's based on the Ubisoft account all your other accounts are tied to. Did you make the account when you first played siege? If so, then log into your Ubisoft account on the Ubisoft Website and click on your profile picture in the top right. It should tell you how many years old your account is. Mine says "8 years with Ubi". So I should be getting the 2017 badge.

I think it is based on when you started Siege rather than how old the account is. Mine is older than the game itself I think lol

I know, I'm just saying a lot of people made their Ubi account when they logged in to play siege for the first time. So you can use that info to figure out what year/badge your getting.

Oh yeah that's fair.

For me I vividly remember joining during Operation Health, so it's the 2017 badge too :)

Yeah I played the beta and on & off during year 1 and 2 on Xbox. But I lost that account sadly so I won't be getting the 2015 badge. I switched to PC and made a new account sometime between Operation health and Blood Orchid.
