Strange Altar

its mindark, what do you expect? sub mediocre.

just embarrassing...

Working hard? So see you at altar in October after summer vacation :D

when is the beta phase of this game over?

John Hammond: All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
 
It’s not the fact it went wrong. We all know things happen.

It’s the fact the same errors keep happening

Over and over and over again.
 
"let's not turn it into hate thread"

Well, ppl left work, organized around kids to be there, you could at least spawn some bosses or something so they didn't waste their time in RL to be there.
Well done
 
Peek MA performance
 
You really have to admire the commitment, most people occasionally stumble into competence by accident……..
 
Let me guess the tool magically still not working today and will be working with the next restart?
 
guys, its mindark, lets be happy they are working on something during summer ! (lol)
 
If I may make a polite suggestion...

Many players, particularly those running lots of missions and trying to get things done, really value their time. They also really value open, honest and frank communication. The backlash isn't so much that something broke, it was not telling us, and the aftermath. NGL the " go hunt eomon" comment sounded quite condescending.

Just my opinion, but an approach like his might have went down better ( worded better ofc)


1hour before -
Hey everyone, got some bad news, one of the mechanics to trigger the new event isn't working, we are trying everything in our power to get this fixed in time, but just wanted to give you all the heads up as I know by now you will be organising warps, teams etc.

15 mins before -
I'm very sorry about this! It seems someone really doesn't want the Altar to be disturbed. We will have to postpone for this evening, until we can get it working. I appreciate how frustrating this must be for you all, us too! We were so hoping to get this started tonight and really hope you will enjoy it. In the meantime we've have spawned some robot bosses at /pos. I get that this is disappointing and know the bosses wont fix that, but they are there to hunt if you wish, and I hope this technical problem wont put you off coming back and trying again when we get it to work. We are still new as a planet partner, but want to make sure we start on a good path, and are as open honest and transparent about when things do go wrong, which we hope wont be very often. Thank you for being patient with us <3



Also... a pic of the altar for anyone interested :)

The thing you and My had was kinda unique, Hally, I really hope it doesn't spread to other staff 🤞 😂

How did you all get down there?
 
One problem with better words is when the actions completely fail to get anywhere close.
If the tone fails time and time again alongside the actions then that is more consistent.
By the way, hate is a whole different kettle of fish to being mightily pissed off again, but I don't expect some people to know that these days...
 
Bonnie for community manager wen?

Also mighty cool pic
 
Hey!

I'll keep this a bit cryptic to not spoil things, but if you know, you know!

The Strange Altar will be made available at 18:00 UTC tomorrow, Friday (4/7).

:tiphat:
Better fix it, test it, test it again, then test it one more time, then announce it, would be a better approach...
Preventable if steps were taken @ARiS team
 
Hey @John Archer | Hyperion - I have a suggestion in regards to the activation of the altar. How about, when turning it on, no announcement is being made? So that people who now know to get there and plan to do it, do so in peace, no spotlight, no fighting over it? Just like any other regular update, people discover where it is, team up, try finishing it.

Not seen since this failure...
 
I went with the wait and let others pay the exploration and discovery tax on this one. I hope I am proven wrong and, for those chasing this one, it actually has some benefit to doing the early leg work. I have been trying to recall a non-exploit game knowledge and or discovery benefiting a player and find myself at a loss. It is unfortunate that being the first and or discovering anything in this game is much more likely to equal real money loss along with the drama and stress expressed by those in this post with the instability and delays in all things new and old in EU. On the up side, this one is just an annoying inconvenience so far with no real PED lost yet. Let's hope the time invested in gaining first access and guarding the knowledge combined with whatever players are bumping markup on hyperium up to is worth whatever they unlock for once. I will be here lurking waiting to see the results before I do anything but sell the material needed to you adventurous risk-takers. Wish you the best of luck as I :cheer::cheer::cheer:you on.
 
But that's Mindark employee vacation schedule?... o wait I see what you did there 😏
Planet Partners usually dont get such preferential treatment:

- Bugs fixed right away
- Located right next to Calypso (Easy access without lootable).
- TOP UL item drops

NOPE, that does not sound like a planet partner to me :)

I was curious if this was typical for new PPs. I can't recall the releases of the old planets.
 
No, but everything else was :D
- create hype
- don't deliver due to some system error
- say they are working hard on it and that they will keep us updated
- stay silent for a week (so far)
