Doubt about it 
Oh no… 
This is the 9th time, At least 4 more ranks are enough for a year (Anniversary 100th)
Good news, And I prepared about 20+ questions for this time. Hehe

These points satisfy the 2 main concerns I had about the Emerald preview 
This is helpful, but…
I fear that this will not be easy for most players 
As a minor point of further feedback, ‘Normal Critting’ is a really rubbish name for a subclass. Can we use more creative names that describe the effect somehow without directly using it’s name? (Tenacious & Hard Hitting are fairly decent examples) 
And as a further question -
Will these be determined based on how effective the hero’s secondary stats are at base level? Or some other arbitrary measure?

I don’t understand this.
Why is this giving only 50 Crit Damage, or 90 Normal Crit? This is drastically below the max. level, so these stats won’t work, or are these mechanics different from other ranks?
Also, it would be better if the secondary stats would be at full effectiveness, not just half.
And how many secondary stats can a player pick for each hero, only 2?

It’s going to take a little bit of time to process this information, but it does look promising.
I’m not sure who I’ll be doing first myself, but I suspect we’ll start out seeing a lot of players with a Normal Critting, Hard Hitting Pegasus.
I guess it’s safe to assume that you’ll be taking questions about Emerald rank at that Q&A. Will you also be answering questions about other areas of the game? And how many of those questions will be answered amidst the usual flood of “Can you add character X?” and “What’s your favorite color?” and “Who’s the next hero?” questions?
I found it kind of silly myself, but I fear it may be too late to change it before launch. However, if we can come up with a catchy name, maybe it can be swapped in before people get too used to “Normal/Fantastic Critting”…?

Also can the team please look at using badge bits that’s aren’t frequently used for new badges it’s such a. Drag having to raid purple levels just to get bits to craft yellows….
There has to be a way to make new badges that only need red badges and up?

Excited to see the new feature play out in the near future and happy it got pushed back because we don’t need very many bugs in 5.3 to have the emerald rank broken

This looks complicated but maybe we’ll hear more about it on Friday

Red skills are the ones that need most balancing. It is impossible to keep them at maximum level, elite campaign just doesn’t drop enough chips.
That needs fixing
Edit: this has become just infuriating ever since double rise caps turned into something normal. There is just no way to keep up. I have no incentives to keep trying to have my heroes at maximum if the bar is unachievable

I did receive a message in my inbox, and there is in the deals screen something reserved for Emerald. So people should see one of both!

Now, not before.
Thanks a lot @Samm! This is very helpful and hopefully all players will be now able to see the news.
Can this be done with all patch notes too?

If it’s about the cost of crafting badges. Welcome. If it’s something like Wish Crate… Better don’t release it at all.

Wish we could get a more live-ish place to discuss about this all.
Apart of this discord server…
I really wish PB would make discord server for DHBM too, or idk… promote some way the mentioned discord server. Or promote forums more.

What are the requirements to promote to Emerald? Getting over Yellow 30?
So “Emerald Effects” only work against emerald heroes. Is this specifically other player’s heroes in War, Arena, and Coli? What happens against creeps/story/codebase?
Thanks
