When you log in after update you might find you have no chat. Just refresh.
Just placed the last S.C.R.A.P.P.E.R and got booted. Tried to get back in (several times) and I'm met with "Server Zone Crashed" / "An error was detected on this zone. Please try again." Trying again does not fix it.
This should be automatically removed every day early in the morning - we have an automatic script for this.Quote:

So, got that same after placing S.C.R.A.P.P.E.R - now says that Server Zone Crashed.
But when friend in clan tries to visit my island it says:
"Your friend's island is locked and cannot be visited. This could be because of a technical reason, or because it's been locked by support"
What is going on here?
same :-(Quote:

If the info on the settlersonlinewiki is correct and we have only 4 days to complete the chains and the 2nd last quest in those chains is a task to wait for 36h that would mean that most of us (can't play 24/7) would have to complete the quests in the first 2 days. And if you we can't play when the waiting quest finishes and the 4 day time limit is full all the effort in the quest chain would be wasted.
Lets say a player can only play daily 17-22 and the waiting task starts during that time on Monday. That would mean that the task would complete at 5-10 on Wednesday but the player starts to play at 17 when the actual waiting time would be 43-48h. That's 45-50% of the allowed time for the whole quest chain.
if i am not mistaken, mining the 200 shards takes around 2 days anyway so the 36 hours is just an annoyance, unless the mining can be speeded up to be quicker than 36 hrs
"The Weekly quest ship is missing:
We are planning to fix this in a short maintenance tomorrow."
Well I was starting to hope that after 2 years I would get my weekly quests and weekly visit from the ghost ship back- but that is not the case. Was this fix related to the pathfinder or ?
I have 6 ghost lanterns - what a waste- is there ever a chance that this will be fixed?
It seems our developers have dreamt up a totally useless quest with built in wait parts (for no apparent reason) that make it impossible to complete this quest. The xp you can earn is a nonsense which makes me realise that they have absolutely no grasp on this game. Are they taking the mickey? I for one can't spend all day every day trying to complete this chain and for what end goal? What exactly are the lucative and alluring rewards? (sure isn't the xp!)
something along these :Quote:

thats what 1450 shards buys you
ha ha ha lol what a complete joke! No way i'm going to bother if thats the rewards. The developers have seriously lost the plot on this one. Go on BB tell us what the point of this quest is if thats the best you can come up with! We shall see if this quest is of any interest to anyone in a couple of weeks. Unbelieveable!!Quote:

best thing, this is the reward, next line produce 50 Mk IV charges (to waste on island): 40k grani, 4.8k gunpowder, 8k steel, 1.6k adv. paper. Good price for 1x manu, if you ask me. lol.
Pls, someone report, there is chance to get like shotfirer or something. or big facepalm.
Same amount of experience as 850 shards gives you (I got a tome instead of a script tho)Quote:

Suggestions?
21 hours left of the event and I have to wait 1 day 13 h according to quest book? Hmmmm..... Who figured that one out?
i think u looked at the widget which is for the last chance section in the merchant shop - not starfallQuote:

It is not placed on a spot where you are able to build anything yourself, so it does not take away any building spots.Quote:

As there is no or very little info about it, I have no idea what is a bug and what isn't, should i have got five mystery boxes or not
So I am on my first 4-day chain. Looking at wiki it suggests 3 out of 4 chains have this "mine all and wait 36 hrs" quest. Could there be anything less creative? No option for speed up, no variation, just wait roughly 2 days for mines to finish. Game killer. So that already looks like a big fail. The next question is if there will ever be anything interesting in the boxes. If not, this whole Starfall is true to it's name. Shone bright for a few seconds, but soon gone into oblivion. In nutshell we get the opportunity to spend some resources for the privilege to wait for 2 days and then open boxes with rewards which do not move the game anywhere? Not sure how many I opened so far, maybe just one? But found nothing of value.
Hopefully the developers can pull out something better and more interesting then this next time.
EDIT: and it looks like I have the bug already mentioned somewhere - 5 shard containing boxes, but only the first one actually opened and rewarded shards. Rest of them just kept spinning and gave nothing.
someone needs to own up and admit that this is the big waste of time with next to no real rewards! Who signed this off? Why has there been no official response to the feedback so far probably because they are embarrassed to admit that it is bugged, badly thought through and they have failed to provide any real information about the event and the so called rewards. So tell us what are we trying to win! Why have to wait 36 hours? is our time that meaningless to them that we are sent away to twiddle our fingers? Please explain the whole point of the event, its rewards and sort out the rediculous waiting time so we can then take an informed view of whether we would be better off watching paint dry!

Some items are still produced in p house, did you look there. Maybe you forgot to use the buff you made or got from the last quest. Look in star, both in the buff part and in the last tab.Quote:

The 36 hr wait time is really 48 hrs or more as that's how long it take to deplete the 5 mines, if you not destroyed any mountain/rubble in sector 7 then its a 2 min walk to the nearest store added to each cycle. Seems a bit too long in a 4 day quest. XP earned is great if you not made it to 80 yet.
Second opinion after checking the rewards on wiki. Obviously we have a choice to get either experience, or chance for skin (and the option itself is actually good, so players can chose what they want. Better then having everything mixed together). So I reckon XP option provides opportunity for those who want to level up without much adventuring. Amount of XP though seems overpowered, especially on higher levels. Which is probably what "necessitated" that "wait 37 Hrs" quest and 2 days mining time. While it's kind of understandable that BB does not want XP overpowered component to be done too often, the solution is still dumb, anti-gaming. I would much prefer less XP and difficulty increased some other way while given possibility to speed up mining and kick out that 37 hours waiting. It just does not add anything to the game. I do not care much about XP. Imo availability of XP is already overpowered, so adding another overpowered XP element is questionable, unless you want to add 20 more levels with content (not empty like last time). Personally I will do Starfall for skins. :) But hey, rethink that waiting element of the chain and replace it with something which looks more like a game.
Does anyone actually want skins?? I find that hard to believe,- but I am grateful that I can avoid more.Quote:

the scaling up of xp per level is insane
at level 79 you need 270 million xp to the next level, 1 box gives 49 million which means 6 boxes gets you to lvl 80
Ok they take 4150 starfall shards but with PFB getting you a net return of between 3k and max 3850 shards per quest (i don't expect people to keep up he 2 hr rebuff cycle but they can ) this means - saying 3k per questline lasting 3 days it will take 9 quests to collect the needed 25k shards so lvl 79-80 in 1 month
That is in my opinionn way overpowered compared to the current path/time form 79-80
The scaling works out worse lower down
This is the only part of the game where you regularly just wait and can't do anything about that. When you have quests with production, you can modify how fast you want to do that using buffs, level buildings, build more buildings - so you can adjust your economy for that. That creates some gaming opportunities, you have a choice. This is literally just wait, nothing else. No planning, no adjustments, no tweaks of economy, nothing. That does not encourage gaming. I'd rather waste expensive resources on making buffs to mine faster, or perform another quest which will speed up mining, anything which would present an option other then just waiting 2 days. Everyone else can still wait two days if they want. :) I want options. Activity without options is not a game, it is mundane, routine boredom.Quote:
