Update: Event start time has been updated to 10AM PST today.
Hi Everyone -
The start of the recent release of The Hunt Event didn’t go as according to plan and was understandably frustrating for players. We do hope the free Reptil cover made up for that start.
With the reset of the event, we discovered some players were automatically placed in level 1. To make up for that and give these players a chance to earn the rewards from the event, we will be running this event again on Monday, September 12th at 10am PST. This will run simultaneously with the upcoming scheduled Operation Spider Silk Event.
We understand this may not be perfect and will work on ways in improving from this in the future. We thank you for your patience!
Is it possible to play the old Hunt event on s5 and the new Hunt event on s3?
since this means the same event overlapping in 2 different states.
Don’t want accidentally cause Y2K bug and melt the servers or so…
“Sorry for messing up the event, to make up for it we’re also giving you the chance to mess up your next one too by trying to play 2 events simultaneously” smh.
Why not just give compo to those affected & carry on?
This is the first time some players can triple dip on the same rewards. Great news for those those targetting AW. It’s about 1000 worth of shards in total.
This is the best idea collectively from the whole group? Do two events on the same days one with odd times?
So competitive pve players have to figure out which one to do, or play both, and then hope the rest of the alliance also decided to play both?
Even throwing a boss event in with rewards at the same time would be better. Or compensating the few players who were placed wrong.
This idea - this can’t have been the best option. Someone must not have understood the directions. It is April 1? Has the player base done something to annoy everyone at head office?
If your alliance is that demanding and inflexible in the face of system wide anomalies, thats a problem with your leadership.
Truly, you don’t have to play. I support you doing that which is your passion but if you gotta tinykitty about some inconveniences for a few days; Then maybe its not love but a dysfunctional dopamine fix w/the lights and rewards.
Thanks for the free cover!
Thanks for trying to mix-up the time zones (a common request from players is that what works for you doesn’t work for them) and hopefully this gives you good data on engagement.
Thanks for being additive with your solutions! Giving more opportunities to make up extra resources is a good thing.
Thanks for being fast in your response and implementing a solution now! (Even if its not the best-its moving forward)
Thanks for working on trying to improve things round here! Not every change is going to work, not every release will go smoothly. I feel like those harping on failure to perform must not use any other apps ever or talk with any vendors or ever watch any sports, or have ever updated ios or windows. Life just doesn’t work at level 100%.
I like the choices of new time zone even though I’m also fine with the existing time zone. Here’s a suggestion that will balance things for some players:
Shake up the timezone for maybe one event every two weeks. Each month, we have 7 pve and 1 boss event. Making 2 out of 7 event a new time zone would enable other players to have a chance to get T10 placements.
Is the game code prepared for having the same event show up twice? People who joined 5.10 for this Hunt and then 1.10 for the New Hunt - they’d have the same pve show up for half a day - but it would be two open Main Subs of The Hunt then.
Don’t think this event crossover ever happened in MPQ history, but you surely QA’d this so it won’t remove players from the Old Hunt or maybe even block them from entering, right?
here we go again
