Important: DQ Rewards Coming to an End

eraldus

Since we have a new CM now, I would really appreciate it if you could tell us if the DQ rewards are officially over or not, as my DQ points were stacking up untill a few days ago, but now, they are stuck at 33942 ever since then.

So, could you shed some light on this please? b:surrender

I still am amazed on the fact they don't give us any warning, notice or closure date of any kind.
The DQ system and the possible deadlines don't depend on PW China, so why can't they give us proper feedback on this topic?

I feel it's a lack of respect towards us and it can only worsen the opinion we got of them.

It's a very sad state of affairs. b:surrender

You must have had trouble reading.

It would be nice to know why they are still running when we were told that they were done with last year.

If anything, to stop the never-ending QQ of people that can't read.
Oh wait, they'd still QQ because they can't read.

Guys, It was supposed to end last year. The fact that is still works is something you should look at as a gift, not an entitlement. Enough of the whining already.
(Oh damn, I whined.)

This is the point, REMOVE it, not leave it there giving the impression that it still works, I`m missing at least 2x Dem/Sage cards with this!

Not saying anything one way or another but... isn't that kind of a contradiction with it gone?

I mean, you can't be missing something you wouldn't have had to begin with if they got rid of it on December 31st, right?

Don't get me wrong, I wish they had killed the page there and then so nobody could rightfully complain like we're seeing now... but I'm also not gonna complain and feel entitled to the bonus of it still being there and letting me get extra event gold that I wouldn't have managed to get if they'd taken it down completely in December while Arc didn't have a replacement.

Oh and the fact that Arc doesn't have a replacement in place right now? Yeah... if they'd gone ahead and taken down the page in December, that's what everyone would be flooding with angry complaints about. Don't even try and deny that one since we all know it's true. b:chuckle

I'm not sure if that "QQ" part was aimed at me, to Lesthar or to us both, but if it was, then let me tell you that I wasn't QQing at all... I just want an answer if this time the page is gone for good, instead of having to look at the DQ page everytime like an idiot to see if it is still working or not.

Btw, IF DQ points & rewards are actually gone now, why does Jolly Jones still have that DQ points quest? I actually tried a while ago, whether I'd get the missing 600 pts to 50k via that quest, but it doesn't seem to work either. So meh.

I did read "by December 2013" in november last year, no worries. I know it should have ended long ago according to them, but they couldn't even make so it was a respected deadline. It's like they decided on it after throwing darts at a calendar.

It is not the first time they do that to us either, given all of the "soon"-full false hopes they force-fed us over time.

And recently they said it'd be over once the new system via Arc would be implemented, I then take it as an extended, yet not-precised deadline. It's not currently the case and they haven't shut the valves off, so I feel I got the right to QQ over the (usual) inconsistency from PWE (and I am not QQ-ing often around these parts, otherwise).

They just don't know what they're doing, even when it does pertain to them.

Oh btw, you are much better and useful at helping people troubleshooting PWI-related issues than trying to troll us here.

Is it really a bonus? If it was done well, we would have at best jumped to the new system already and at worst been ending with a removal of the current system without benefits or alternate way.
At least a proper notice on a date change would have been fine. We got nothing like any of these three paths.

It's like playing a sad game of peek-a-boo to see if it has updated or not (and it's not the first time it happened).

They did say it would be off in December but they also said that they were going to replace it with something else. I don't see any replacement for it so they shouldn't turn it off yet.

Indeed, this is precisely what we want, a fully functional replacement NOW, with the old system gone, what they give us now, false promises about the new system taking place who knows when and to add more to the insult, they turn off the already working system so no one can get any points for who knows how bloody long!

The best they could have done would be to prepare the new system and immediately replace the old one with it once it is ready. But nah.

^ I agree with this statement!

However, I'm not surprised by the page going down. They warned us a month ago and I just kind of prepared myself by npcing every day and redeeming my rewards. 8D I'm just disappointed that a new system isn't up and I can't get some more event gold. XD

Deceptistar - Sanctuary

yerrr the confusing part is tho,

they gave us a months warning that they will let us know about a warning (aka yo dawg)

then they gave us another months warning about making sure to redeem our points cause the time is nearing

fast forward to a little over 1 month again.

the DQ points arent updating but its 'working'. The item vendoring doesnt update from the 23rd but the front text says differently.
dont know if error or they actually did take it off.
At least they can make that part clear.

non of the CMs or GMs are even touching this matter to tell us so.
Ive sprinkled it around SparkleMans threads and hes been purposely avoiding touching this subject and just cherry picking lesser **** that can be copy pasted as 'oh ill let the higher ups know hee hee lookat me i care' sort of answer. Not really impressed so far. f:tired

dq has been updating quite regularly with me till the last few days. If it no longer works they should just close the page

They won't be able to implement a new system until the GS is ready for it. This means we won't see one until at least another update to the GS (v102/v105 anyone? for the record NH is v101) The hard facts are v101 didn't have the code they needed, so it's not in v101, that's why we haven't seen a new one brought in. And they can deny that all they want, but the GS core doesn't work properly with ARC. They THOUGHT it would, turns out it didn't.

I don't officially know the answer to this yet, but I'm going to try and find out what I can tomorrow. I'll come back here and update the thread should I find out any further news.

Atrocious - Heavens Tear

Thank you Sparkie. Much appreciated. We do like our DQ pts rewards.

Remember Sparkie, telling us you haven't found news is still news. b:bye

We've been in a big dark shadow, knowledge is comfort, even if it's just you updating us that you're still pressuring for news.

Oh I understand completely. I'll hopefully have information tomorrow, but if I don't, I'll let you all know that as well.

Points updated, go check yours, cashed out 3 cards b:dirty

Ty Sparkie if you had anything to do with this!

matthieudoncacci

Still not updated for me b:cry

pikins90

updated \o\ good job

Transcend - Lost City

Woot updated for me finally!

Vasanta - Lost City

is this the last update of dq points or can we continue npc'ing them?

thatguy123456

I've been reading this thread, and would just remind everyone that they said this would stop working in December, i am happy that it is still in place, but i am taking it as it is. I expect the system to stop working all together any day, and if points appear i use them.

i think its just a matter of time in any case until they work out the kinks in arc and shutdown this specific web site just for PWI (which they said they were going to do), and push everyone through their other channels.

I'm not commenting one way or another about arc, rewards, or anything, i am just simply stating, they have said it will end, they said December, its still working, so get it while it lasts... technically they have no obligation anyway, and have told us its supposed to be over.

Just chalk it up to the way they do things that we got some extra freebies...

thanks pwi..b:thanks

SunDownXIII - Dreamweaver

Wow you got to be kidding right? I just checked for s#its and giggles and it updated as of the 25th lol. (another sage card for me) possibly gonna get two more if the points from the last few days update. So its still working but late as hell!

Evryn - Morai

Could it perhaps be the sheer amount of DQ items being sold? What *coughautoculticough* could be the cause of that? b:laugh
