Doff Mission "Finishing" delay, another slap in the face.

dpsloss88

With all the grinding required in this game Cryptic gives us another slap in the face by making it take up to 5 minutes for our doff missions to "Finish" when we log in.

This make it now a real headache to log on to set the doff missions on alts. This is no accident. They realized that NOONE plays the game anymore, but some of us still doff waiting for them to fix the game so we might want to play in a year or so. And in 2-3 years we would actually have enough dilithium to buy gear...

I think that's not by design but just their usual, shoddy work.

And the thread title is a perfect example of why the devs don't listen to the forum.....

This was addressed a hundred times over in a polite manner, with no acknowledgement so far.
I for one am fed up and don't care about the Dev's feelings anymore.

I know at least 1 person still does (Me).

Yeah, they should have left it the way it was, with Klinks unable to complete doffing assignments. Nobody plays as KDF, anyway.

This particular.... thing.... has been in here ever since the doff revamp. It is not 5 minutes, but still, to wait one minute is annoying. However, like mentioned above, this has been adressed 5748 times in a more polite way. Yet it has not been changed. To go talking about a "slap in the face" is not gonna help then.

Here is your answer:

I checked with our software engineers to see if this behavior was a bug, or intended. What I learned was that this new behavior was introduced as a means to improve server stability for all players on a map.

Without this delay, we found that having a single player container load the completion data for as many as 30 or so different Assignments (including R&D) put a noteworthy strain on the map they were loaded into. If you had multiple players doing this at the same time, that load became concerning very quickly.

So, it is an intended feature, and currently working as intended.

That said, we will investigate if it can at least be tuned a bit. The current wait time is, I believe, 5 seconds between processing each completion. There is a chance that we can reduce that window. I can't make any promises, but it will be investigated.

He sounds almost satirical.

If they respond to criticism based on emotion instead of logic then they wouldn't be very good at their job....Oh I think you stumbled on something! (Just kidding because it seems to be greed not indignant outrage behind most of the changes in DR).

Thanks for finding it again. I didn't remember where to find it, but I knew it.

Well played, OP. Well played.
