Well, I guess that's our answer about the forward button! Thanks for removing it, it was a little confusing :s
Oh you....making all this sense you make....:-P
I'm stuck hunting food, I don't know what I'm supposed to do after...
How many weapons do you have selected? It does that when more than two weapons are selected.
So. You either have to be lucky and get all 5 obstacles at the time when you're on, or spend load of uninterrupted time on here waiting for one to pop up. I hate to sound so negative at the beginning of an event, but my god does this suck. I'm going to miss out on a lot of it this time around if that's how this is structured for the entire plot.
Kreeki - If you click it, it brings you to the Ikumoradeekanox :)
"A family of lasiri blocks your path! Maybe if you feed them some fruit, they'll be satisfied and go away."
How was I supposed to feed them?? I bought fruit and refreshed the page but I couldn't find anything to click, I bought another fruit and still nothing, and then I guess I ran out of time looking for answers. I am not completely drunk yet so I guess I'm just dumb?? :P
Well, I sure wouldn't have chosen Team Gold if I'd known that THAT was what Sagittarius was up to. I'll still give it my best shot for the sake of the team, but... c'mon Saggi. You could've at least mentioned we were gonna be teaming up with Kahaleitzli... :I
I can't even get past the battle page...I make my attack and it just loads, and loads....and loads... :-(
And one final comment for now: Would it be possible to get a percent on the status bars? I really don't know if the food bar is at 100% or 90%, since there is not outline of where it should end. It will be easy to see when it gets really depleted but I don't want to bother playing if we are actually at 100%.
Fruit Bats, Team Gold!
The map reappeared on my page (before it was some wind) and there is a forward button but it is either broken or doesn't do anything? Just refreshes the page. Am I missing something?
Subeta: "The wind blew your crap back, ahaha." Hustler: "You want a Intrepid Soldier Automatic Rifle ?"
I think the Hustler is Team Steele.
So if I'm not able to get on during the few minutes (from what I've gathered, the events don't last long, I haven't seen one yet), then I'll lose out on potential points? I know there's planned to be a way to make them up after camp is made, but wouldn't that same chance apply to everyone else.
I'd rather there just be 5 events for everyone to do at their own pace throughout the day, then everyone has the same opportunity to get points.
"The wind was so strong it blew your entire caravan backwards along the trail!"
Popped back in for a sec to check out the FAQ. Rofl, just shaking my head now. I sincerely hope that these kinds of events will happen equally to each team. We don't need RNGesus deciding which team wins, thank you.
People offline aren’t going to get screwed over. If you don’t get your 5/5 at base camp, we’ll have something to make up for that. We’ve added it to this news post and will have a news post for it once I get a few more questions answered on there!
wahahaha that wind was probably that dratted Saggi fanning himself with wads of cash!
What are you even talking about? Asking that a game be playable and have understandable instructions is not a strain on the site. Regardless of site lag and strain, that doesn't change that the audience was barely considered when this was designed. Blocking out a majority of your players from even doing a fraction of the event because they can't be online is not good game design. There's no apparent "schedule" for these events, and we don't even know if there are more than five activities/opportunities. Even then, the events last minutes at best it seems. This isn't them releasing something in portions because of site strain. It's a poorly thought out design.
At the end of the day, people are supposed to have fun with your game (that's the goal!) and the vast majority aren't. They're confused and frustrated.
"The wind was so strong it blew your entire caravan backwards along the trail!"
So why are we even trying? How do we make the wind work? This is ridiculous.
I hope these monsoons are 'shit the user base really hates times events, let's push back the time until they reach camp so everyone offline doesn't get totally screwed over and out of points for totally unfair reasons' storms
Yup! XD
đŸ˜œ I guess we should be glad my username isn't "tornado" or "hurricane".
The wind was so strong it blew your entire caravan backwards along the trail!
This is feeling like the last Omen Island event where one team got screwed by weather and the other was boosted ><
"The wind was so strong it blew your entire caravan backwards along the trail!"
Welp. I'm fixin' to ragequit. Nothing better happen while I'm shooting more hams...
Please make at the very least news post for that. A thread that only half the userbase will even find is not going to solve the problem.
There is an actual guide in general forums (which has spoilers) and there’s the FAQ :)
I got that too. Just noticed your name as well. :P
You've run into an island monsoon. The wind and rain makes travel difficult, and slows you down.
so this happened
I completely agree and I'm also stuck at the same place and don't have all day/night to sit online waiting for something to happen. Sure wish someone would put up some kind of plot guide.
Here is an FAQ that and I are running. We're adding more questions as we come across them. :)
it puts a lot of strain on the site to make huge changes, though? We've seen that a million times. So they're putting it together in pieces so that if there's an unexpected bug somewhere, they'll know exactly where it is, and this way it won't pull the site under the water when they install it.
If they were still putting things together, they shouldn't have started the event. Plain and simple. You don't just release an unfinished game to the masses. The level of confusion/lack of instruction is ridiculous. It's to the point that it DOESN'T appear as though there was much thought, proofing, or testing put into the event.
I am also confused. Do I keep playing the hunting game? Does it help our team to keep playing? Heeeeelp
I understand and respect that perspective. However, there's a big difference between negative feedback being constructive or not.
i think everyone needs to relax a little and maybe be a bit kinder and less harsh to a thing that staff are doing purely for our enjoyment
if there are hiccups and concerns i am sure they will be addressed, its only been active for what? a little over 2 hours? take deep breaths lmfao n__n;
I'm so confused... I did an activity, got marked as 1/5 completed, clicked FORWARD, nothing happened, so I did the activity again, nothing happened, clicked FORWARD about a million times, and nothing's happened... am I supposed to wait for enough of my team mates to do the activity (or something?!) to trigger something else to happen? Because I don't have time to be on here all day and wait for that to happen. I wish there was a forum, since News Comments aren't the easiest place to exchange information. :/ I don't understand what the site is wanting me to do next.
Well I've been stuck at the same place, played the hunting game multiple times but when I click forward it just goes back to the same page saying I've only done 1/5. I hope someone posts some kind of plot guide somewhere. This is frustrating.
Except that, presumably, staff had quite a bit of time to put all this together and create better instructions/more thought out tasks. There's no bugs as far as I can tell yet, which means things are working as intended. Which is why they're getting bad feedback.
But hey, I've got calculus homework to do while I wait for Legion to finish installing, so sorry Team Steele, but /waves.
fam i hate to tell you but....... it looks like that's exactly what you're gonna have to do
nah, I don't think such a thing is really possible. We're going to get lots of obstacles every day.
I know it'll take a little time to sort things out tonight... not worth getting worked up, I guess! Still unsure if doing the food thing leads to progress. Looking forward to staff updates!
Ah, thanks. Didn't know if that was one of the tasks that I needed to do today or not, but glad to know it's not a miss-able one that'll make me miss any of the plot.
This event seems like a super neat idea! Any chance of releasing a schedule so I can know when to take a break from adulting? :p
the map obstacle is already gone. I missed that one as well. But when a new obstacle comes up, a big red notice will appear under our progress bar that shows up on every page, so you'll know when a new one is ready to go! The notice is also a link back to the trail so that we can see exactly what we need to do, so it's pretty convenient.
Still supporting progressive tasking. Deadline it and have a proceed to camp button at the end of the last task. This way people have all day to make their trek and nobody misses out on a task. I guess you can say it's like the Amazing Race show, except there's no process of elimination. (though there could be a bonus for the first x number of people to finish and camp before deadline). Just a thought. I'm still not feeling this timely tasking no matter how much compensation is implemented. It's still discouraging, and people are just gonna wait and do all the compensation, which makes the original task pointless.
I wonder if hunting multiple times is helpful to the team progress, even though it only gets us personally one activity point?
I think everyone just needs to take a deep breath. Everything is still being put together. Every stretch of time, the programmers and admins are adding another piece of the plot into action. Everyone just needs must be patient.
We had it where some of our Gold Team members got struck down by a mysterious illness and having to gather things from the medical place, but where is this map obstacle I'm hearing about?
Anyone on Team Gold, care to help me out?
And when is that exactly? We're still forced to miss out on the daily 5 points because you (or someone else on staff) said 1 day =/= 1 plot day. Unless the plot points aren't actually "daily" and are "plot daily". This entire thing is a confusing mess.
I know it does, I'm not THAT drunk or dumb, but I'd already claimed a fruit for today because I didn't know I'd need to wait to do that particular daily, and I saw that others bought fruit and it worked for them, but I guess I am not that lucky.
