yes, someone was discussing how they had, 120 q boxes from alerts, waiting to open on double Q weekend.

That means that Zen will cost 500 each.
That means Q effective value is less (except for things like Vigilante gear).
That means saving Q boxes for Q week is a bad idea.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
2. spend later

Block timing explained
There is nothing in the announcement about that.

They will be, except for the 1500Q box. That's the way it's always worked before.
The Questionite Crates don't double.
[Insert agreeable laughter.]
Easier to exploit, you don't actually have to win to gain the rewards.
Oh...I'm thinking of Nemcon.
Don't build retroactively, just ruin everything old.

The amount of Q you get is not comparable to a solid Nemcon run's q boxes and you really only see a true benefit during Q hour (+1 Q per mob defeated).
There's different bonus hours at below. Click the arrows to find Questionite one.

They seem to do that often.
I was amazed to see a Q hour going on while the Australians are awake.
Someone at Cryptic finally cares about the night shift, now that we are down to a 59 player Ren Cen.
No, it means buying Zen during Q week is a bad idea. Opening the boxes is still fine.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
LOADS AH MOONEY!
I'm on early and late.
so I either get afternoon or early morning server time. The only time getting up at 4am is an advantage

Market gets flooded, zen price continues to rise.
then people complain about the price. Why is it so high?

Meanwhile Q week has seen the lowest player counts in the game's history (since free to play).
Wonder what happened.
I guess all the people were finally convinced of our impending doom by the 300 thousand billion times you've brought up bull**** population figures that not a single other person really cares about.
Congratulations! You have defeated Champions Online: The Playerbase.
You may now move on to: anything else as long as it is something else please oh please oh god oh man oh man oh god would you please just ****ing leave we are all so tired of your hack-y doom prophet schtick please please please leave.
Thats only steam though, it doesnt take in account the people that dont play through steam.
If anything this is pretty inaccurate.

Champions Online.. where we sell lockboxes by the dozen.
See, nextname has been predicting the death of CO for years now; he needs the numbers to show a decline so he can keep doomcrying. We pretty much ignore him now.

I know about the same time each evening I get hit with the lag of death and disconnect.
STO got some of their login issues fixed and some of the update "what did it break this time" issues fixed.
and since double Q week is now in it's third week, people have probably either thought it's finished or just got sick of farming. It's not as if there's much good to buy with it.
and we're due for another lockbox or good sale soon, for some reason nobody is interested in Become: Black talon common even at a reduced price.:rolleyes:
Wouldn't have anything to do with it dropping ingame.

You know nothing, Jon Sills.
My screenshots have dates and times, in the file name and in the file record along with player counts.
These are all zones in use right now at 4:52AM server time (1:01pm in Britain). Outside MC Canada had the most people, ten! Look how lively Canada is! Well Caprice had 15 but I'm not going in there.
Map change screen reports 82 players in Ren Cen with Steam Charts reporting 118 players in the game and the social menu reporting 199 players online, ie, Steam charts accounts for more than half of all online players. All that matters is knowing the approximate number in Ren Cen when team requests go unfulfilled, alert queues stop popping frequently, and zone chat goes silent for several minutes at a time.
Show me where I've fudged the numbers, Jon?
So... this pretty much Evolved into Double Q MONTH!
Well darn, If i didn't take 2 Weeks Break from CO I would have farmed way too much Q
They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends
What's less interesting is that someone forgot to turn Q week off. Seems no one is at the helm.
In other words, good job cherry-picking. You do indeed illustrate Sam Clemens' old adage, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."

It'd be nice if the server pop was higher. But I don't see the point in getting into arguments over it.
Judging CO's future based on what Cryptic does with the game and behind the scenes is much easier. They know what the numbers are, while anyone else can only speculate based on incomplete data.

The event was enabled right before CO moved from Cryptic North down to California if my memory serves me. Maybe no one knows how to turn it off now.

here's its steam chart from the start.You can see the bumps for expansions are getting smaller.
and the amount of little bumps from events.
http://steamcharts.com/app/109600#All
also when Well of Dragons came out,
there was a bunch of complaint threads out about ;
being unable to get dungeon queues to pop,
not enough people to do the outside group dragon open missions,
they've also gone from 3 shards with between 40 and 50 full instances in the city when it first started to one shard with about 20 full, before I left.
and a lot of the supposed players on are gold sellers farming, you can watch them go in and out fo the entry points of the Foundry missions with the generic characters.
and that's in just under 2 years. With advertising, with updates, and CO has been out 5 1/2 years and gets F....all, updates and zero advertising.
I'd say we're doing damn good.
quick count this morning, 1.48pm server time, using find person by level.
1-10- 100 limit
10-20(minus 10's) 95 (still 100 limit)
20-30- 63(minus 20's)
30-40- 99 (minus 30's)
= minimum of 357, taking into account the 100 limit on find person.

Well actually, Cryptic layed off 14% of its employees in March because Neverwinter subscriptions were doing poorly.
But I'm not talking about Neverwinter, it has 2,137 Steam players online at the moment , Champions has 235.
But the numbers only double at 'prime time.'
Maybe you should try playing at the butt crack of dawn to experience it, and then consider that for other people it is their only time to play because it's not the butt crack of dawn for them.
It was afternoon in Europe, where's all those people?
Do they wait til 2AM their time to jump on to the American "prime time" and run alerts?
No we know they are playing other games, because a year or two ago those games didn't exist but now they have thousands of players online at the same hour that Champions has a little over 200.
The 'new content' is a broken robot suit that looks like content from other unpopular games.
Do you eat undercooked imitation meat? If this was a restaurant there would be health codes that would shut it down for serving what they are serving.
The only method to apply the new content, the tailor, the first thing players experience in the game, has been broken for over a year after being hobbled for more than a year before that.
What's your judgement about what's been going on behind the scenes (lay offs) and what Cryptic does with the game (unfixed bugs in a major feature for over a year)?
I bet no money that it'll never be switched off. EVER!

That doesn't change the fact that while you are playing and killing zone chat conversation with your know it all attitude (around 11 to 11:30pm server time) there are only 120 people or less in Millennium City.
Oh it got even worse.
Eff that, I'll be sleeping. Also: If you want people from your region to play with, recruit them.
You forgot to mention the stuff you can't see. No game company is stupid enough to throw resources at a game they intend to throw in a gutter. But what did CO get? An experienced dev team. Also, signs point to being busy with slow website updates and that whole Q-week thing becoming Q-month. Those things aren't a priority for someone who wears multiple hats in a company. What happens may not be big, but I'm guessing it's not "CO is shutting down tomorrow."
You can sit here and be grumpy all you want or you can go play a game with people from your region and be happy.
