This^

We'll probably see a handful running around with Very Rare Alphas starting today with a bunch more by next week.

Never really heard much about the "two Notice" bug in the last few days.
Makes me wonder if today's patch included a stealth fix for it.

I figure it did. An annoying load time didn't seem to merit a whole patch.

No, pretty much anyone playing last Tuesday before 5pm eastern and who had the stockpile of shards should be running around with the badge.

The "two Notice" bug was fixed with the first patch after the Strike Pack launched, to my knowledge. I only know one person who got a double Notice on Victory, and he said it was because of the bug that caused everyone to disconnect at the end of a TF on the first day.

I've seen quite a few people with the 4th Tier on Freedom already. One of the teams I was on this evening even had 4 people with 4th tier.

In the end, it shouldn't really be a big deal. Everybody else will just have it next week anyway. lol

Well I can give you at least 8 who got it on multiple toons. The error was server side and it was just dumb luck for the people who got it. We just happened to be running Khan speed runs atm so we were resetting every 20 min. I got it twice on 3 of mine. Only had the shards to craft the ultra rare on 1. The rest will just have an extra when I eventually get enough drops. The double reward merits were nice though.

I think most people who got it were being quiet about it. I submitted a bug report, but I did preface it with "Although it PAINS me to do this..."

Hi Guys,

well I was one of the fortunate ones on Virtue last week, and so for the first time since starting to play I was in the right place at the right time.

But the daft thing is that I was actually running the second Kahn purely to get the badge for doing a support run!

When the TF completed I did utter a few "Golly Goshes" in anger at not getting the badge and started to send in a petition about non award when I saw my teamies whooping and hollering about the actual drop!

Quietly dropped out of the petition screen and crept off to polish the shiny

Cheers

So you're saying people were still getting "accidental" second Notices even as recently as yesterday? Figures.
I heard no one talking about it in channels last night, but that certainly doesn't prove anything one way or the other.

Yes there was the hotfix on February 2nd that fixed the "Mapserves with Level Shifting and Pets" problem. A number of people lost their first Notices because of that bug on February 1st and some people were able to petition to get them replaced.

The "Two Notice" bug seems to be something completely different that I only heard people start talking about on February 8th. This bug allowed random people to earn a second Notice for the week by running a second Khan/Cuda TF/SF. The fix for -that- bug is what I was speculating was included in yesterday's patch. But Le Blanc's post implies maybe that bug is still out there. *shrugs*

Well while technically no one should have very rare Alphas until next week there are at least the 2 different bugs I'm aware of that allowed a good number of people to get them as early as yesterday. While I'm sure the Devs don't like that it would hardly be the first time some game problem like this allowed people to get things earlier than the "rules" say we should have them. I would be very surprised to see the Devs waste any time datamining back though the activities of everyone for the last few weeks to "punish" anyone for simply taking advantage of what the bugs provided in this case. It's not like anyone actively "exploited" anything here on purpose.

Regrettable, but hardly game-breaking.

At least this particular problem with people getting something earlier than the game system intended will only happen once.

It shouldn't matter because gating content on a TIMER just sucks.

If someone runs back-to-back TFs, all day long they deserve the rewards. The only reason I'm upset (and mildly so at that) is because time-gating stuff is just...yuck.

That was an awesome team, and it is unfortunate some received the extra notices.
However next week will allows all to get it, so GOOD luck!

Eh, didn't suck so much for me - if not for the gating, I would have had a choice on Strike Pack launch day to either run 4 STFs in a row on my main, burn out and spend a few months hating the game, or spend every moment logged in with the knowledge that I could have had my Very Rare by now but I don't because I'm *weak*, and spend a few months hating the game.

Now I have my two Rares, one Notice, and Uncommon on my main, and I know I'm one LGTF and next week's WTF away from my Very Rare. Every moment is spent in pleasant anticipation and I love the game.

Me too. Funny thing was I didn't even notice the extra Notice until I rechecked and saw my badge hunters had no progress at first on the support badges, then I checked salvage and said "Woah". Bug report filed of course, but I sure wasn't going to delete the extra salvage.

Don't see a week early on the tier 4 as game breaking anyway.

I realize the Universe is not going to come to an end just because some people got something a week earlier than they should have in a MMO. Heck, due to one of the bugs I mentioned earlier even I got a Very Rare Alpha slotted last night.

I just continue to find it mildly annoying that the game tries to create these "gates" based on real world times and then lets so many exceptions/bugs happen to render those gates effectively meaningless for lots of people. It's happened in a number of other situations over the years so this is hardly the first time it's come up.

Like them or not gates like this in games should strictly apply to EVERYONE, period. It raises the very legitimate question that if they always have these "leaks" with so many people then why should the Devs even try to use time gates on anything? I know there are people who think I make too much out of this issue but once again I'll just ask the basic question: is it really too hard for the game to follow its own rules? Is that really too much to ask for from a game like this? Apparently it is. *shrugs*

Are you kidding, Loth? They can't even get their forums to work correctly.

In any case, I'm still pleasantly looking forward to more WTFs and Incarnate stuff. I just wish I was equally afforded the opportunity to gain a few more Notices myself. Given that it's a bug, I guess we're all just as likely as the next person to receive it.

Yeah I know... sometimes my basic desire for things to make sense and work properly gets in the way of my knowing better.

My Irony Aura must be pre-ED six slotted for recharge. Immediately after I read this post/thread and went back to the main, I got logged off.
