Seems a bit unfair again on us European players. Victory as always had a strong Euro presence since the game first started and it will mean having to stay up past midnight here in the UK,later in other countries to take part. You've done events before where you have had the event happen twice, one of those times being more European friendly and the other at the times you have announced.
Just be nice to be able to take part at a time which is a bit more sensible for us.

I think this is a case of CoX targeting specific players to ensure they can't participate. They have a team of ninja actuaries that examine your social calendar, work schedule, sleep time, local weather conditions, planetary alignment, etc to determine the most effective scheduling to inconvenience those unfortunate players who have drawn their ire.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this.

Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

Come to Defiant or Union and then go back to Victory?

Nope, just playing "I don't know French" with the word "bourgeois". Even if I do know the meaning of the word.

as to the flyier, I was there on freedom when they ran a test, I think that was a part of last min testing of Mako's invasion, run it with the normal troops, then just change them for the real event.
to the cancel of sat events, i understand the frustration of weekend only players.

look at it this way if you are a F2P person, you really almost have no ability ot complain. after all your are getting it free. if you are a VIP then you have almost no ability to complain as they are most likely getting a lot of their money from the F2P with purchases. It is a win win for them.

Rabid Bunny 1 Person VG

So the invasion stuff is only on scheduled times?

Please register my grump at having events only a few may attend.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

you know what would be cool?

a giant leviathan attack.

and the giant leviathan spawns a bunch of smaller invisible pets that dont die until the giant leviathan dies, with quick recharging spirit shark attacks. think carrion creepers pet, but shark version.

wooooooooooooooooo!




wonder what the invasion will be like.

Okay... I am officially freaked out. It's 0651, on double XP weekend... and according to the server status page, everything's down. Which means, an hour into Double XP people can't play!

Whee! What a *fun* way to start Double XP weekend (and therefore Captain Mako week.)


As to stay on recent thread topic... I think that the times are for an actual Dev playing Mako, doing something TRULY dastardly (as only a villain can,) while the rest of the week we'll have an abundance of sharks in all the waterways, that'll attack us and likely eat us, like Jaws.

Mental note to self: Don't take a day off just for DXP weekend. (4.30 pm now server went off around 2pm.... waves small flag!)

The Mako week sounds exciting - looking forward to it.

why not do maintenance early , and stick to the 06:00 PST time ?


 

Posted

Well, it was a bit belated (and I wish I'd seen dev word on that downtime), but it seems like we might be ready to get double XP rolling. Hurrah!

What to work on first? Peacebringer, Warshade... my old villain MM in his 40s... so many choices!

this

i was trying to figure this out... is ALL the shark stuff only during the scheduled events? or are the attacks also ongoing through out the week, like invasions from rikti and nem have been? that's what i was thinking, the latter.

bummed so far that i havent seen any sharkies, and folks keep telling me NOTHING is happening until the scheduled times...

soooo

which is it?

thx!


:EDIT: -see post below- They don't do things that make that much sense. :P your suggestion, a common one, would be too logical.

Come on can we not get the pirhanna head and fin pieces in the store?

I missed out on that event last year and wanna get those pieces. It just makes sense they would be on the market during shark week and right after the release of water blast.

Did not know this. Thanks.

Looks like the Virtue invasion got rescheduled? I guess nobody wanted to come in and run it on a weekend. The Captain Mako Appreciation Society and Scrapbooking Club, a five year old Virtue Villain Group, is going to have to cancel its scheduled party since our server event got moved from the 18th to a day none of us can attend.

You could always gather around his contact model and hold a party

In as much as you continue to be incapable of contributing anything of value to any conversation, I would prefer that you add me to your ignore list, or at the very least provide me the courtesy of not stalking my posts just to respond dismissively. Thank you.

This probably goes without saying, but Putting GG on your ignore list would proably be more effective. That way you won't have to see it if she responds to you.

Come along, GG. This person has asked (reasonably) politely that you don't make this type of post in response to theirs. Not very heroic, IMO. What would your fans think?
