I've "timed out" quite a bit more than usual in the past few weeks. In my case, it's happened in the middle of runs and in all cases, I was able to immediately log back in. I notice I'm about to time out when various world interactions start to fail (NPC's that should be there aren't, can't press F on a target) yet chat…

Are you trying to complete the quest Ghost Stories? I have very occasionally seen those "daily lair" quests bug. If that's what is happening here, see if you can join a party with someone else who has the same quest you are trying to complete. In my experience, that usually solved the problem. If you can't join a party or…

Discussion of guild ownership logistics in light of leaders who are perma-banned is fine. Please keep it on topic and avoid blaming/ranting/flaming.

We're looking the other way on some of the comments in this thread since the topic is moderation and it would suck to moderate moderation feedback, but let's please stay on topic and avoid personal attacks/flaming/bickering. Say what you have to say and allow others the same courtesy.

There are some communities where up- and downvoting works quite well, such as the StackExchange family of websites. There, it serves more as an agreement/disagreement as to the factual correctness of statements and to their usefulness/completeness in answering the original question. In our forums, we far more often discuss…

That's a measure (I hesitate to call it an industry standard) in the cyber-security space. The reason for setting the time limit is the balancing act between allowing the responsible party enough time to react and leaving users vulnerable to a malicious hack with potentially severe consequences. In the game space, I'd put…

We created this post to provide an avenue to discuss moderation in general terms. The rule about discussing specific moderation actions in public still applies. Feel free to PM the moderators questions about specific moderation actions.
-
I think we can both agree that serious bugs have at times lasted far longer than either the players or the developers would prefer. Communicating them to the moderation team via PM here or in other channels like Discord is actually effective in maintaining visibility. Bug fixes are balanced against other activities like…

Let me add that I fully agree with the OP. Here are a few thoughts that come to mind regarding some of the comments * Official discussion/acknowledgment of exploits is dicey. Even if it may seem "everyone" knows about a specific exploit, it's probable that many/most in fact do not. Discussing it in the official forum can…

The 10% chance means that, in the very long run, 1-in-10 upgrade attempts will succeed. People readily recall the times it takes way more than it should and easily forget the times it takes a lot less. A few years ago, I recorded the results of hundreds of 10% upgrade chances and found that I did come in very close to the…

I'm actually pretty excited about this mod. It's light on content to be sure but the systems designers seemed to have been rather busy. I know not all the changes are popular with everyone but I believe they'll be good for the game.
-
That's a key point to remember. In making this change, they're looking at the entirety of the player base. This is not the first change made to curtail the AD glut and I doubt it's the last. Decoupling gear from AD allows more precise control over the AD economy. It will take a very long time for the richest players to run…

I was able to reproduce this with help from @frozenfirevr by entering the cave before adding him to my party. He remained outside the cave and killed the pack leaders that are a required quest milestone after freeing the prisoners. Thanks for the report! To avoid the issue until it can be fixed, don't add people to your…

Thank you for sharing your story. My interactions with CS have always been positive as well.

When you say sell at the store, do you mean to NPC vendors (where you get gold) or on the auction house (where you sell stuff for astral diamonds to other players)? When you sell things on the auction house, there is a listing fee unless you have VIP (rank 8+). If you are doing professions, there is a button that allows…

Could you help me understand what you are doing outside of the game? What folder are you going to, where are you entering a name?

There were a number of reasons the gateway was closed. Botting was stated as the crushing blow but there were also other reasons, including that it used a technology that wasn't used in other parts of the game thus created extra maintenance cost. If the team considers any sort of API in the future, they have to weigh both…
-
Thank you for sharing that feedback. I actually just finished writing 1950's dialog so very much understand how this particular word choice is jarring. The team has seen your post and passed it along.
-
Anyone who has the cash on hand to win the auction is already BiS and shredding all content. I have no idea what percent of the AD glut these auctions will remove, but I have to believe it's a non-trivial amount for the developers to go to this trouble. AD enters the economy faster than it leaves the economy, the digital…

I happened to get this version in random queue and it behaved normally for me. Perhaps there's some specific trigger for the glitch you observed.

Queues should be working again

If your bug has already been reported in this thread by someone else, there's no need to report it again. Thanks!

I had far more fun with events when there was an element of challenge to them and coordination/teamwork actually mattered. If they get the level scaling right (which it currently isn't on preview), it opens the door to increasing rewards because the time spent also increases. I understand your point of view that you want a…

Coffer donations are logged and can be exported to Excel. As a guild leader, I never use the donation logs to "punish" members (it's a game, people should enjoy playing it) but sometimes use them as a reward. For example, if we need an Influence or Frozen Treasures push, I'll run a guild event like, "Every point of…

A common issue is that, when a quest is completed in the current area, a quest for a different area is automatically selected. For example, when completing a quest in the EE zones (this module, on an old toon I dusted off), after each quest was completed, the quest tracker wanted to send me to Dread Ring, even though I…
