We all work 7-5. Your expectations are too high if you want constant updates, most other servers reboot in 10- minutes because they put updates in once every 2 months, gives them reasonable time to test everything. If you want changes you have to accept this im afraid. If you dont want changes we can leave the server online.

Its a situation of time.

With regards to FD, this was changed, not initially in patch notes. We added multiplyers, meaning it is now back to what it was with PVE, and altered pvp to slightly boost what it was before reboot. If we could get some feedback on this, it would be helpful

Cheers

The downtime is fine, ignore the addicts - we'd all rather constant monitoring/balancing and updates with a longer downtime than quicker reboots but every 6 months instead ^^

I only expect to be kept informed, nothing more.

I'm fine with downtime; its a necessary evil some times; We all appreciate all the hard work and effort going into the server, you guys are doing a good job. :encouragement:

However its different when we're told to expect a 30 minutes down time and it actually takes closer to 2 hours. If its just going to be a 30 minute interval; my thoughts are: I'll go make a drink, some food, heck may even squeeze in a poo. However if you had said this will take an hour or so, I would have logged off for the evening and watched a film or something rather than lurking on LOMCN checking for the server to come back up. (I Appreciate this was unexpected, however it would have been good to be given expected ETA when possible or just roll back the update)

PS any signs of JackOLanterns coming back into the game for the lower levels? (IE give 0 EXP to anyone 40+) I've missed out massively on this as only played a few hours of the event.. now everyone level 40+ and the new event doesn't come close to the same levelling speeds.. I thought the event would run through to the end of Halloween :( My Wife was even getting into the game enjoying the event!

i appreciate this and 30 minutes was intended, however somethin happened that stopped this being possible. One were 45 minutes into a reboot, the choice of reverting everyhing is almost not possible as we would rather delay 45 more minutes than have wasted 45 minutes of everyones time for nothing

Jacklanterns will be retuening for final stage.

Second part of event just seems monotonous at the moment. Only reason most people are killing them is due to the miniscule chance of a drop, I'd rather there were zero decent items i.e 40 weps involved but plenty of gems, Benes etc at the same rate as they were coming in stage 1.

this part of the event seems very, idk, lack luster (considering its the second phase).

Mobs are harder for what seems a lot less reward (I;d prefer just the jackos without the drops considering im a lowbie)
the new crafting thing is meh considering it expires in 5 days (and it needs 50 yellow orbs)

I'd have left jackos in lower areas (but say exp is severly degraded after 35 (or whatever level)
and had the dwellers in higher caves as the second phase.

Also the drop rate buff expires when in safezones.

They’ve already said jackos will return in part 3. I like the dwellers, I’ve had benes, stones, gold and decent exp on my sub. The event is taking on a story form and the Boss is going to evolve. Really enjoying it and nearly got 2 characters at 40 so sweet it’s giving us the chance to have more than 1 option with style of play.

You cant expect all the drops from part 1 to continue all the gear upto 40 was becoming to cheap especially benes going for 35k at one point!

If the chance to lvl another char to 40 with no durability drains and no need for pot money is not to your liking with massive pvp brawls over the Boss....then go and take the opportunity to kill some bosses or subs that won’t be as camped on your main??

Geeez really not easy to please some ppl.

Posted in an earlier thread, but from a new comer point of view, the event was a nice incentive to play (I didn't play before the event) and enjoyed the jacko's. Item and level wise, I am way behind, however few of my points:

1) I'm a level 29 archer, with only 3 skills due to the price of skill books, they do not seem to be dropping to out weigh new players/alts.
2) I enjoyed the province jacko's and leveling was good, however dwellers is not a nice experience due to PK by people who far out level the dungeon.
3) Dwellers just seem boring without collecting the pumpkin, skull loot.
4) Mass lure killing just doesn't seem to be a thing (I enjoy this aspect of the game), however this is potentially due to me being unable to obtain skill books.
5) Standard leveling areas seem to be so slow to level in.
6) Server reliability is questionable, I've experience 2 crashes in the past few days of playing

1.the price of books? if you vary the places to hunt for your level you will find them all with in a day up to your level.
2.jacko exp was far too much and after putting hard work in casually it has sickened me its made it so easy for people to catch up, it has helped me but id rather have did it the hard way to keep it even bar maybe odd exp pot drop or something.
3.still seem to drop, barely been on since and omaspiritrings and the likes are filling up tm fast.
4. find ur books or use ur pet no problem, my archer(23 only) aeo pet is raping mines bug cave etc other pets would be more benificial for likes of psc or pt where i lvled my warrior im sure
5.exp could be increased in certain euro areas to create more balance, ill agree to that....pb lvling at 33 is way faster for a couple lvls than anywhere else i found solo...(PT and bandit being next best)
6.crashes happen, even people who havent put a penny in get a gg pot for 100gold, my only issue is on at least one occasion i lost a 40%exp but best i got back was 20% exp 10% drop.


Ive moaned and complained at times, especially when ive felt hard done by whilst6 grinding lviing with minimum time, and to be clear grinding is relative...my grinding isnt the same as some people with 18 hours to spare every day or money to exp token evert minute there on.
however i do believe the team are doing a mostly good job overall, users are still high so there plenty addiction.
If anything halloween even started over a week to soon, thursday 25th to thursday 1st or so would have been overkill, hopefully you remember this at xmas and keep it short as possible, people get to used to whats happening if its lasting over a few weeks then cry when lvling or drops start to be hard to come by.

non perm 2 weekish crafts seem to be way forward....even a good way to temp introduce tele/para/clear/protection rings without giving too much of a long term advantage.

or maybe im drunk and just talk shite, who knows

1) Books aren't that difficult to get, try going to mines for them, even to help build cash to buy. Plenty books drop in PT too. There are few on TM but game is still only month or so in so it shouldnt be that easy.
2) Agreed, dwellers are quite pants in comparison. Jackos are coming back for last part. (I did say Jackos should have stayed for lower levels/alts but must upset some no lifers who cant get further away)
3) Agreed.
4) Get yourself electric shot, PVE it is very good especially now they just increased the range on it.
5) Depends where your trying to level, its really not that slow compared to Euro, im a casual player but if it was too easy, you'd be further behind the no lifers still. Try PSC/PT/BDD even Howling is good when you have electric shot as there is no ranged mobs. (Give me a pm if im online, always up for another archer to level with, usually on after 9/10pm few nights a week).
6) Server is actually pretty good imo, only had 1 crash really. Only time it struggles is when User Count above 300, and everyone attacking halloween boss.. nye impossible to actually fight with out lagging loads. Server team should look at that.

Does anyone know When is part 3 of event being added and does it end before the weekend? o.O @Xx69xX @DiabloVodkaShot
