This happens every few months. Either it was an error in the update this week or it is a cyclical thing and the NPC will come back in a month or two (or 6 IDK for sure).

Thanks for all the comments. I stayed off for a week and broke my insatiable OCD-like need to check in all my toons every day. I wont be getting the annual reward this year, so no need to worry about being on the game or not every day. I already feel lighter *smile*. My faction theoretically has enough active players to…

I posted to another thread my dislikes of this update, but I will add here again my disappointment with the locked bases and faction attack by the devs. From their response, it looks like they are trying to deliberately focus this game only on end game players and pressuring players into fewer and fewer factions.…

I was told the new base requires 200 million in coins to create (at least) but I have no idea how to even check that. Given that the new factions are maxed in a day, why not just convert existing factions into the new factions? There are a lot of factions where the population is just not strong enough to score 1000 loyalty…

Yeah, that is the extreme case of course, but it certainly could happen. For any MMO it is important to keep a balance of farmers, merchants, casual cash shoppers and serious cash shoppers. You ignore any one group at your game's overall peril.

If the farmers are unable to make coins like they have been, the value of coins increases. This means over time, one Gold will buy fewer and fewer coins. Currently, the price of coins is way too low (>6m coins = 1g on TT) and people are not using the Auction House to trade coins, but as the price drops, the 4m coins cap on…

I believe you as this is obviously something more significant than just needing a reboot, but where did you get your information? Has there been a post on another thread or Facebook or something? I do hope they give every character an Absence Note at least. Or better yet, 99 Perfect Tokens of Luck so you can make an…

Let's fight Haspon together and see who spends more time as a rug :wink:

Unfortunately the maintenance had to be done between 1 AM and 3 AM on Sunday morning because the servers/database cannot handle the time change that happens when DST starts/ends. This happens twice every year and has been for at least 9 years now. If they wanted to they could have addressed and fixed this problem almost a…

My Christmas Wish List! 1. Make the Merciful Glyph Stone worth the same as it costs: 10,000,000 so it can be sold to an NPC and the player is not out 10 million coins from a Trap quest. New Players don't expect this to happen to them when they are in Celestial Vale. 2. Do the same thing with the Stone of Love: Restoration…

IIRC IIRC you have 64 Mail slots.

I have similar issues with the Novice Construction Quest in the Homestead. When you take it, you port to some spot outside a small village and the quest pops up. You only have a few seconds to accept the quest or the quest fails. More than once the time for the transition screen to load has been longer than the time…

We seem to agree on the points regarding Weekly Abaddon. It is fairly easy if you know a few tricks, but I have been in squads who had no idea what to do with MoG for example, so after a few fails, I would ask them to just let me solo it. I really hate RPK. It makes sense if you are White Name and wandering around West…

If by "your" you mean my judgement, I have no idea. The question really is for you. Do you feel your PvP approach/skill-set was more than adequate to handle the PvE requirements? My first time against the absolute final boss in HFT was quite challenging. I died several times. (I was doing this only a few hours after it…

My Experience with tickets: This is what I do (in general) and it seems to get resutls: 1. Send a ticket that details the problem 2. Receive a response that is basically a form letter or pat answer usually missing the point 3. Send a reply that THANKS them for their attention then points out how my issue is not completely…

To those who have awesome PvP skills and think they can rock PvE in every case, I propose a simple challenge. Go to Abaddon, solo Puppet, go back in time, solo Mask of Grief, find the Puppets (4) and solo them. You will need at least one other person in your squad to open the past after killing puppet, but that should not…

Sy shared this elsewhere ... but it still qualifies right?

Even after last night's "FIX", the rewards are still messed up. - No Titles for either Reward - Annual Attendance Vendor Licence prize still expires on January 1, 2016 (so disappears after you log off) The only change is that the Full Attendance Vendor Licence prize now expires on January 1, 2017. I suppose TECHNICALLY…

Ok, so I foolishly figured this was fixed, and cashed in 5 rewards. The two First Prize rewards gave the fixed shops, but no titles. The three Second Prize rewards gave the bad shops and no titles (the shops disappeared when I logged in again). My bad for not checking after the first cash in. So: - Titles are still not…

Oops .. .nvm, I figured out how to use all 32 slots ... still a pain though.

My daughter and I both doubled up on our Account Stashes, and I happened to have both of mine almost full when the merger happened (31 slots had something in them). Alice on the other hand only had a few items in hers (18 total slots used). So long as I don't totally remove an item from my account stash, I can sort of use…

I don't think EVERY toon got the two letter extension (none of my LC toons did), only toons that had conflicting names. So if you have a toon with a name that conflicts, then yes, why not get a bound, unstashable Identity Stone so you can at least try to make your name more palatable. Also, if your name was deliberately…

Interesting question, and I won't vote cause I have no toons there, but "Tideswell" the town in Wales (probably) gets its name from a Tiding Well, which is a type of well where the water ebbs and flows with the local tide.

On the issue of the blessing, have you tried sending a blessing to another character on your account and then using the account stash to get it to TZonerRT2? And +1 to your idea of a free Identity Stone to anyone who got a changed name. It only makes sense, but even more to the point would be to look at the conflicting…

Meh, I couldn't leave it alone, so here it is: For every 100 players who open 6 S Packs, there will be 12.48 S Cards awarded. So, 12.48% vs. 100% means about 1/8th S Cards from 6 Packs vs. 1 Chest. This is a statistical average and assumes a big enough population that every possible outcome can occur a number of times (at…

The actual math I used was C = 1 - (1 - 0.0208) ^ 6 which is 11.848 759 385 82% (rounded to the nearest 100 billionth of a percent). Since most people only care about the ball park value, I rounded it to 12% ... my bad, as I see now how that could be confused with 6 x 2% = 12% which is obviously wrong. BTW: The 0.0208…

Giving us 6 S PACKS (after all adds) means there is about a 12% chance overall of getting (at least) one S card from all the PACKS. Giving us 1 CHEST (originally offered) means there is a 100% chance of getting an S card. I am grateful for all the free-bees, but why not send us an S CHEST instead of more S PACKs? Good Luck!

The most likely issue is that you did not completely solve the puzzle (you need to make a choice on all 12 totems) or you ran out of time (you have 5 minutes). Once the puzzle is solved you automatically teleport back to the first room. (IIRC) If you run out of time, you teleport back to room 1. If it was neither of those…

There is an entire thread on this already here

Unfortunately PWI uses two different time references. One is Pacific Time (Server Time) and follows the time in California for Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustments. The Head Hunter, for example, resets at midnight Server Time (as do most daily and weekly quests). The other time in use frequently is UTC or Coordinated…
