No chance to send scouts out or do adv's so now BB costing every player, extended event is the only compensation now.
You got one lol :)Quote:

Finally I see the reason they give us 5 days to complete a TR, pity about the scout and obs tho'

BB has implement the maintenance about 1 week ago in order to make the game playable without any issue but now it clearly shows how they are bad at their job.They only good at hiring an employer who reads forum and ignoring/rejecting game ideas that makes game more enjoyable from base players also good at removing the topic that would insult other people.It just a shame.
As a programmer it's not *that* surprising to see a non-prod feature leak onto a prod environment.
What's utterly inexplicable is how long it's taking them to fix it - the most I've ever had to bring a prod environment down for (for a product of comparable complexity to TSO, if not quite the same size userbase) in the last few years was 15 minutes due to some AWS issue that was somewhat out of my control.
You have to remember the skills and efficiency on show, hence they are probably taking the freebies off each player individually as that's the limit of tech knowledge
I think they compiled 50 pages long macro and let it run through the database to identify and confiscate all illegal items in the game ..... haha :)
Like old times. You write a code, and then let it run overnight to complete. :)
They've obviously got some talented and imaginative people in charge of the graphics and game ideas - obviously they should just get rid of the actual programmers and dev-ops engineers and rely entirely on the product team for everything. Or maybe that's exactly what they already did...
Good thing 100% happy hour is active!
._.
Oh great, BB are now trolling me by running a "Happy Hour" in the hope you will spend money to buy gems to buy the stuff that you already have that they have suspended the game so that they can take from you?
Confused you soon will be!
Talk about priorities

Oh boy,i hope happy hour ends before hotfix gets done. well, rather not wait that long.
I believe the message here is "pay us and we'll bring the server back up". :D
Guys you are complaining that the event is going bad and happy hour is up. But i had some buildings to be upgraded. Started the upgrade a week ago. Yesterday, when i logged in after 5 days of vacancy, i saw my buildings are upgraded... 14% (around 1 day and a half). So i lost 5 days and the buildings upgraded only 2 day (to get a round number)...
They will fix the game... :)
almost 24h maint... new best mark? :p
If you do not log in after 24h your island is "frozen" - production, upgrades etc. If you want to have time off with buildings continuing to upgrade you have to ask a friend or guildie to visit your island once a day to keep it going.Quote:

I know the feeling - not just the love tree, the xmas bakery, xmas market etc..... I dread to think what state my island will be in if we ever get back in....
thats normal- game mechanics are that island goes to deep sleep if you dont log ion or someone visits it to keep it active and then the timers sleep as wellQuote:

Oh, dint knew about that timer as i usually log in quite often. Thanks for pointing that up.
Anyway, i have the feeling that this game become more demanding in terms of time. From event to event, i see that there are more and more demands in terms of event items and i need to spend more time playing it. At a point, this "forced play" makes me quit playing it. Because of this "have to log in at least once a day" and unity being not that good, i started to play less.
get a friend do surf over every 2 days avoids the problem - it is a pain if u have a long upgrade running to see it stall
waiting for the extended maint times now, as losing hope BB will get it fixed soon
this was 11:00 cest on the 21st !
will we go for 11:00 cest on the 22nd ?
BB just keep the game down this week and restart event next Monday, in meantime you can fix other bugs :p
*yawn*
the game being down doesnt make bug fixing faster alas nor better
BB post on german forums: "Die Welten werden gleich langsam hochgefahren. Es kann noch ein paar Minuten andauern, eine Verlängerung benötigen wir jedoch nicht mehr."
So we'll see in couple of minutes.
What is really stupid is that BB don't seem to have any idea as to what makes a game like this a commercial success. I have spent a lot of money on BB over the years for various games, and had this game been well run and supported I would have on this as a token gesture to support them.
Their performance to date (I started in January) gives me absolutely no inclination to spend any real cash at all on this.
expect the completion of the work at about 11 o'clock (tomorrow morning | 21.06.2022)!
End: 21.06.2022 - Approx. 11:00 CEST
11:00 AM Tuesday, Central European Summer Time (CEST) is
5:00 PM Tuesday, in Your Region
Current time 5.19 PM
And nothing different
100% cr*p
they made a bad decision on unity/imprlementation of it and haven been trying to recover ever since but dont seem to make enough inroads
The game is old so that also makes it a difficult one. It might have been better to make TSO2 and have everyone start over in a new architecture with similar gameplay philosophy but we are where we are and now they either get it to work and we will so how long it runs or they dont and somewhere soonish a plug will be pulled or they leave it running in a kinda timewarp setting - no new stuff and just run as is till it isnt worth it anymore to them
game is back up, but get ready for another close, global chat, help and trade are not working
Whether or not the game is old makes barely any difference, considering that from a functional perspective its really primitive and theres no indication of why it would have many complicated parts inside (essentially around half of the game is executing similar tasks at specific points in time).Quote:

Even if you disregard bugs happening less or more often nowadays that it used to, they showed no intention of introducing any new content since late 2019, and havent actually introduced new one since mid 2017. Its evident that theres a round zero money thrown at the game right now (and has been for years) so hard to expect any breakthrough in quality.
