Last night's maintenance ran a bit longer from my end since the CN Engineer was looking into it and doing a second wipe. We'll make the appropriate end date adjustments, but I think players are more concerned about fair rankings. I'll be studying Live like a hawk throughout the week but nothing should (>_>) repopulate, so here's to hoping that whatever they did, it's finally solved this mystery and stopped the map from coming back from the dead!

10$ says you are wrong.

@sin20 They did something different this time which was cool, but we'll see the results of that!

I hope I'm not having to buy someone a nice lunch or a sit down lunch off that 20$...

@kalystconquerer#0876 Since we're on the topic of fair and equal SVS resets, how about compensating Tempest, who technically won SVS 2 seasons ago, but since points weren't reset at the end of the season before that, they were given 4th place and no top prizes at all. All the while being ignored by the GM's and having nothing to show for that entire season.

Why was nothing done for Tempest then? While this season had already started and has been wiped again so factions like Crisis and Karma can be on equal footing to start. The Tempest issue was much more clean cut and undebatable. Tempest wasn't even acknowledged by the GM's in their claim for that season, but when other factions complain about only map not resetting there's an instant investigation. Is it just me or am I sensing some favoritism?

I could try make a point and mention that Karma were favored during the last season. When their tier 3 bid *incident* happened, the following 5 or 6 weeks, cant remember which exactly. they were only subject to 1 fight each week despite having 6 lands. How that is possible with the limited RNG without outside help is beyond me. Regardless of that though, they still finished outside top 3 and did it impact their ranking, we will never know. You just have to make do with what you get given.

The only favoritism I've seen is when that Chinese GM went into RogueXXX xTW and was killing opposition players and psy buffing the faction leader. Took all the SS and left the fight as that is completely unfair and something I choose to not be a part of. As usual, it was dismissed as they weren't in the xTW fight, even though its clearly visible they were and it got me forum banned for proving Domino was lying about it xDD.

New season now and a successful full reset o/

I JUST checked live, THANK GOODNESS!

Whatever code they dug up and used, it worked!! I almost fell out of my chair in relief when I looked this morning. So now I can keep that money for my own lunches, whew!

I can't really speak to anything regarding CN GM's, not because of any NDA's but because I can't just throw around any conclusions about it based off of pieced together reports without actually asking directly and digging it up. I'm not saying this isn't an alarming event at all, but I'm not sure what I could do about something like that anymore, which is really unfortunate. However, if players see any future strange events and behaviors like this, please report them!

Also, I'm unsure if anyone has heard, but Domino no longer works for this company and we wish him the best in his future endeavors!

Since my job duties have been changed now, I can't dedicate the same amount of time to QA as I was before, so this does make me a little bit sad. But any glaring issues that occurs with DC again in the future, I'll pass to Surtr to take a look at if I can't assist myself.

sylenthunder

So you're our new CM, or is that position open again?

Yes finally! Get the code off them so you'll know for next time! As far as I know also, there was no problems with bidding either so it seems to be completely successful all round. Ahh, I'm not saying anything like this has happened since or want anything done about it, was just using it as an example in my reply. It happened and it's long in the past.

I had no idea Domino had left so does this mean you'll be twitching events from now on? Go for his position and the hat!

@sylenthunder I'm definitely a hybrid role - my new official title is Content Engagement Specialist. Purposely vague, yet all encompassing all at once. I do roles that a CM would do - which is engage with you guys here, do forum posts, create events etc. but I also take on some of the duties of an APM/PM, where I do cash shop schedules, assist with promos etc. So when you see me suddenly drop activity for a day, it might mean I'm in meetings all day that day or I'm spending a good portion of my day doing schedules or sending out emails.

I do very little QA these days, though I'm always there to give Surtr and hand when he needs it.

The CM's I see around the office handle our other games, such as Gigantic.

As for dedicated people on the forums - that's pretty much me now! Though keep in mind I do not do Customer Support, so sending me actual ticket numbers or asking about anything account related issues, I can't really help with. If its reporting a bug or issues with promos or something I have visibility on, then I can definitely help out!

But yes, DC should be good to go now - I'll study the rankings this weekend and compare them to last weeks SS to check for any inconsistencies, but we should be ok from this point on!

@kalystconquerer#0876 Get Heeroy as a FCM - Community Forum Moderator. Even though I don't get along with him in game, you can't not notice he almost controls the forums and is everywhere. He is like a real life sweetiebot.

eirghan

I would +1 for community forum moderator to heero. Hes been helping sylen for a long time and moderating unofficially for years.

For the sake of competition I'm happy the map got reset at long last. But with around 130 members attending xTw every single week its gonna suck being able to only send in 60 people for the first few weeks, hearts will be broken I guess time to pray Crisis/Tempest/Origin/Karma will get each other every week, else these first weeks of the xTw season are gonna be terribly boring for the bigger factions
