Re: February Mega-Event tease
I have to be kind of blunt on this one: teasing the next mega shouldn’t be a priority right now. TP hasn’t made a formal announcement about the 6th anniversary avatar or fully addressed today’s Objective Event screw up.
This feels like trolling.

Re: February Mega-Event tease
The anniversary avatar is coming, it is part of the schedule for today, expect a communication later about it.
As for the Objective Event scheduling, I have nothing else to add at this point - there will be internal discussions on how to improve the process.

first time ever that it isn t available on time. 🙄
They were probably busy making sure the Objective Event started without a hitch this week. Time well wasted.
Re: No Faction objective event
I’m telling you, we better stop this complaining or we’re going to get an Expedition or worse yet a Mega Expedition forcing us to play….sigh…

Whoa, please don't lump the Big Book's quality assurance and customer support in with WRG's. We take pride in our work.
Speak for yourself, I half **tsk tsk** everything I do.
Edit: gonna leave that there for intepretation.
Re: No Faction objective event
And the whole purpose of a beta test is to find, identify and fix (attempt to fix) any issues.
We all have a choice about participating in any beta testing: if you don’t mind the bugs, take part. Otherwise, don’t take part until [insert feature] is more reliable.
To the point that the developers, engineers or whoever have the ability to work from home. You’re likely correct however, despite and - perhaps - increasingly importantly - because of that, it’s also important for everyone to have a ‘work life’ balance. Surely none of us would expect the engineers to be on standby 24 hours a day?
Let’s be honest, this is a game for relaxation and, if it winds people up this much, perhaps they need to find a way to relax, play another bane for a short while, sit back and wait for WRG to let us know what’s going on, what they’ve done about it and leave it to them, the project managers and the engineers to put things right.

Re: No Faction objective event
What a „great“ 6th anniversary week.
If it happens 1 time…okay….but how often did this happen already?
More and more ppl of my fleet are taking a break or are done for good.
Such constant mess ups don t help.

To most, the Event 10x pull is more useless, than the regular 10x portal pull.
Edit: Awesome 😆

Nobody's asking for the whole team to be available 24/7. But somebody should at least check that the new feature that's meant to have gone live has in fact gone live, especially when past performance has shown that these things haven't always gone as planned.
Taking responsibility for the work that you're meant to have done is important. And I'm saying this as someone who's been in the office for software rollouts at 4AM in the past. It's not pleasant, and I wouldn't do it on a regular basis, but occasionally it is required. But that wouldn't have been required here. It obviously wasn't a serious issue, since it only took about half an hour to fix, just like last time.
No professionalism. No pride in their work. No respect for the customers. That's the message that this puts across. Again.
