Thread: Funcoms weeks shorter then the rest of the world?

  1. #1

    Funcoms weeks shorter then the rest of the world?

    So, ran over to Icc this morning to pull the daily mission from Arbiter Vincenzo Palmiero, When i got there i noticed he was nowhere to be found, petitioned it to confirm that it was suposed to be like that and got in response "Its working as intended now" Meaning he's not there for a week, seems he's there for aslong as it suits fc.

    Got to recheck my subs to see that Funcom's month really is a month aswell now i guess.

    He appears and dissaperas early on Sundays. That is a week. Thanks for wasting customer support time.

    Well if you actually had any experience at all with these dailies you know that what you just stated is wrong, I really should quote George Carlin to you but.

    That's just very odd.

    Last couple times it ended on Monday morning (meaning we could still pull missions on Sunday). This time it ended on Sunday morning.
    Guess the "working as intended now" means they fixed the 'week' to the correct week. Since a new week starts on Sunday and not Monday.

    In the US, maybe, but, for example, in most parts of the EU, the week starts on Monday. Also, Sunday or Monday, but in which timezone? It's possible that the switch occurs at an inconvenient time for you (like the middle of the night) so that the period is effectively shorter for you because of the time lost due to timezone offset, but it's in fact 7 days.

    Well atleast here in eu the quest became available sunday night, and ended sat night, meaning 6 days not 7 as they state.

    I fully agree with Acidflame.
    No matter what country or timezone you're in: One week equals seven days.

    This time Palmiero disappeared a whole day too early. If this is working as intended I have to say it's pretty silly. Sundays are for most people free days and thus they play a lot. Taking something away that runs on a timer on such a day, causes nothing but frustration for those with limited time.
    Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

    Considering last week it disappeared on Saturday and this week it's now Monday and still not spawned, I suspect some GM has to spawn and despawn it manually each week? It would be a little wtf if they can't automate that though, if it were automated it should be regular though, right?

    Yeah, it's most likely a manual spawn trigger, because someone can't work out a cron syntax for every 2nd week.

    Yeah well were in 2016 atm, and ao still uses cron timers on the mail system for each 5 mins, so they actually worked that out, tho its the worst system i've ever seen.

    Humbl: (15:03) To [Raetos]: yep, i am online (15:03) [Raetos (GM)]: Unfortunately we cannot give out spoilers so I cannot tell you when it will spawn I am sorry. (15:03) To [Raetos]: ouh, thats sad (15:04) To [Raetos]: well, patchnotes told us that palmiero/arbiter drone spawns every second week (15:04) To [Raetos]: so its 1 day after the second week (15:04) [Raetos (GM)]: Yes and it will spawn eventually when it's supposed to. (15:05) To [Raetos]: hmmm, ok (15:05) To [Raetos]: wll, thank you for responding.

    Yep yep yep

    RALPH: Arbiter Vincenzo Palmiero is an Arbiter of ICC. He is a busy individual who normally makes time to return to this office at the start of each month. He expresses some sort of apology if you have missed him, but he will probably return.

    And he's still not up...

    EDIT:
    And it's getting close to the end of Monday in my land. This is most frustrating.

    Arbiter's Herald is up at bore grid for a few days telling people to go to ICC and get the quest, but the GM told you it's not meant to be up? Or is that bore NPC always there? I assumed it would be spawned at the same time.
