Rally quest times

edited September 2016 in TERA PC - General Discussion
Okay so in this thread http://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/7096/regarding-civil-unrest-weekend-server-issues/p1 you said the following words

"As of right now, the cause of the initial crash has been identified and Bluehole is providing us with a hotfix that will prevent the crash from happening again. Because of this hotfix, server maintenance is being moved from Tuesday to Thursday at 7:00am PDT. This hotfix will also change the timing of Rally quests to appear later in the day so more players can enjoy them."

My focus is the last sentence. It's thursday and rally quest came up at 11:30 am EST. So please explain urself...

    SInce this thread is already directed @Spacecats and i was just about to make a thread to do the same, i just wanted to ask if we can get an official answer as to the time/date that the (Weekly CP) rolls over to Total CP,. Last week when the servers crashed on saturday the weekly CP was reset when they came back up, i think many of us assumed this was only do to the reset of the server since it was no infact a week from the patch start yet. I then further assumed that weekly CP would probably just roll over every week with maintence, obviously this weeks maintence is not on the normal day, but not im just curious as to when the actual roll over time is.

    Sorry to the OP for threadjacking, i just dont see a point in making another thread to get the same persons attention ^.^

    Gonna have to agree with this one. Failed fix of rally quests. Mind taking a look @Spacecats?

    It's like it was moved 4 hours earlier instead of 4 hours later or something...

    Right? Like Tera players now these days, wants every single thing answered in just a day. Like what the heck do you do in game, gear up PvP/PvE, and most people just sit in HW or VO and chill there. So why complain, in MT manifest gets the rally for us anyways so its not something that we look up with and try to get it. But yea, no respect, no patience. I'd be surprised if these people (Complaining too much) makes a perfect mmorpg w/o bugs and glitches, and less than 24 hours tech support -_-

    Guys please avoid callouts in the forums. Even me :p
    If you want my specific attention the best way is to message me directly or make a thread that describes what's going on (I changed the thread title to "Rally quest times".)

    OKAY SO... yeah, I'll look into this right away and thanks for posting @Tatsuyaaa. I'm pretty sure the Rally timeframe was supposed to be later in the day, not immediately after maintenance. There's definitely something up. I'll talk to the production team and tell you what I find.

    PLEASE SEE BELOW

    Rally times still have quite a bit of randomness built into them. They're meant to be hard to predict. The production team did tweak the times so overall they'll be a bit later in the day, but in this case RNG had its own ideas.

    The times will be adjusted a little more next week so that the range is a little less drastic.

    shouldn't the range be kept drastic to let the whole playerbase enjoy the loot from rally quest or is EME shifting to pleasing the masses only strategy and ignore those who are on during non-peak hours?

    Honestly let RNG have it's way.
    Keep it as randomized as possible.
    It's a "Come get Free VM7" Guild Quest after all.

    There are perks for both being later and having a more rng timer, but is there a possibility of reducing the timer requiring you to spawn the bam? I don't mind waiting a bit, but sitting in some random spawning area over an hour seems a little much. On MT Manifest (just using as an example since they have gotten it the most) has been nice enough to not wait until the last couple minutes to spawn, but that doesn't keep them or others to decide to do that if they choose to.

    I'd just like to see the timer atleast cut in half, to give the bam quest a bit more of a time constraint and add some excitement. Personally I'd like it to be 30 mins to spawn, but I can understand not wanting to make any drastic changes so quickly after release.

    I'm not sure if my response was confusing, but just to clarify, Rally quests are currently appearing normally and as intended. We will be tweaking some settings regarding time of day, but they will always be slightly random, and there's always going to be a chance that they'll appear in the mornings and late evenings.

    @Spacecats what are you going to do about allegations and evidence that certain guilds are running scripts to snipe the rally bams?
