Hi, No one seems able to enter the proving ground. The proving ground windows still shows the “Foundation Day FFA Proving Ground” and tring to use the 1v1 destroyer filament lead to the messages “The Proving Grounds are closed for this filament”. Is the 1v1 destroyer proving ground only starting the 21st ? Is it a bug ? Loking forward for more inforamtion ---

There’s no announcement of a new proving ground on the launcher. That this splash screen showed up feels like a simple mistake by CCP. ---

Glad I found this, I was very disappointed with the message I received after just having got my hands on some filaments and fitting up a ship. ---

I havent done a proving ground event yet. What kind of filament do you need for this? Is it 3 rooms ? Is there a separate one for getting in then getting out? ---
