Dev Post DanielSteed Posted December 1, 2020 Dev Post Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hey everyone! The event schedule for December has been published. This month the Pirate Incursion, Rakghoul Resurgence, and All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally events will make an appearance. These of course will be joined by the seasonal Life Day and Anniversary events as well. I'm sure some of you are already wondering why the start and end time for events later this month are different than the norm. Game Update 6.2 'Echoes of Vengeance' will change the Conquest reset timer, making it match the Weekly Mission reset timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlaVii Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Please can you clarify about the conquest timer changing. Do you mean that after this week, instead of conquest ending and starting at 17:00-18:00 GMT it will now end and start at 12:00-13:00 GMT? If so is this a permanent change? That's a really inconvenient change since a lot of people are at work in the EU at that time and in the US 04:00-05:00 PST is kinda early. It's already quite difficult to do the legacy conquest score totaling for our guild member prizes in the 1 hour window and this change will make that much harder to handle. Means for my guild we'll probably switch back to doing the score totaling on Monday evenings so any extra points that people score later on Monday evening or on Tuesday mornings will not be counted.

Estelindis Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yeah, I really don't think this conquest time change is an improvement. I wonder what BW thinks is wrong with the way it works now. As I see it, the current situation gives people a welcome bit of wriggle-room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soltriss Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Game Update 6.2 'Echoes of Vengeance' will change the Conquest reset timer, making it match the Weekly Mission reset timer. Can we get some clarification on this please? Why the change - or rather, change back? I thought the initial reason for changing the conquest timers in the first place was to allow for earlier setting of targets at the beginning of a conquest event. Why take that away? I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuventusAndFCK Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Alright, a rakghoul event and it's timed so I can recruit Lokin after I hand in my uni project proposal! Once again I kindly request a patch so that we might gain the ability to recruit Lokin without this event.

Ruvalie Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 There are two pirate incursions, rakghoul event and swoop event all in one month? That's twice as many as usual. And if you're giving us so many events, why the pirate event twice rather than the gree or bounty events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockThorax Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Yeah, I really don't think this conquest time change is an improvement. I wonder what BW thinks is wrong with the way it works now. As I see it, the current situation gives people a welcome bit of wriggle-room. I seriously can't believe guild leaders do not receive an automated in-game email breakdown of each member's contributions at the end of each week's conquest event. Seems like a massive QoL improvement and a simple change Edited December 2, 2020 by StockThorax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, amirite? It's not a change back, originally it ended on a Monday, and you had a whole day to rest, and sort out prizes.

And if you're giving us so many events, why the pirate event twice rather than the gree or bounty events? one of the others might have been better.

Add Life Day and Anniversary events running in parallel and we’ve got 6 events in December. Edited December 2, 2020 by mike_carton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're giving us so many events, why the pirate event twice rather than the gree or bounty events? Because it has been 6 full months that we last had the Pirate Incursion event and it is still rather new compared to gree and bounty. People kept asking for it to work on their achievements.

People kept asking for it to work on their achievements. The last Pirate Incursion ended on 1.9. That's 3 months, not 6. Quite a while nonetheless.

SIthDarkMortis Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Hey! You've probably spelled ValkoriOn incorrectly. (With A) Edited December 2, 2020 by SIthDarkMortis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mubrak Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) You've probably spelled ValkoriOn incorrectly. (With A) Nah, with Valkorion being dead-dead, they needed a new villain for 6.2, and the obvious candidate was Valkorion's twin brother Valkorian. Rumor has that Valkorian's children, Thexon and Veylin will also be involved. Edited December 2, 2020 by Mubrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darittha Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Conquest time change from evening to afternoon is bad. No improvement there at all. Currently with winter time here in EU it works perfectly imo as conquest resets, we can have hours to check out whats in the conquest and then most of the guilds have their evening conquest activities, events etc. Why change something good?

MaximusRex Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The event schedule for December has been published. This month the Pirate Incursion, Rakghoul Resurgence, and All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally events will make an appearance. Why do you guys keep doubling up on some events and leave others to wayside? We need currencies from everything, and an outrageous amount of them, to buy some items that are also part of achievements, and that is harder to do when you hardly ever run some of them, and are over running Pirate Incursion and Swoop. You should run them on a scheduled consistent rotation so every event gets an equal turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveat Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yeah, I really don't think this conquest time change is an improvement. I wonder what BW thinks is wrong with the way it works now. As I see it, the current situation gives people a welcome bit of wriggle-room. Honestly, I preferred the CQ reset when it was in line with the daily/weekly clock, and am happy to be hearing they intend to put it back (finally). The larger issue to question is if the reason for the change to begin with has been properly addressed and will be handled better going forward: conflicts and issues with maintenance and update procedures that foul the CQ schedule and functions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveat Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 We need currencies from everything my larger issue, now that they finally started having the currencies be world drops, is why they stop the world drops after the events end? They could and should have reduced drop rates outside of the event blocks, maybe also taper off the drop RNG the further away you get from event locations, but to halt them all together is just... brain dead. Its not like the galaxy suddenly becomes collectively OCD and promptly cleans out their pockets of such currencies, only stuffing their pockets with such things during said events.
