Upcoming Rerun of the Hunt Event (9/9/22)

LakeStone

Update: Event start time has been updated to 10AM PST today.

Hi Everyone - 

The start of the recent release of The Hunt Event didn't go as according to plan and was understandably frustrating for players. We do hope the free Reptil cover made up for that start. 

With the reset of the event, we discovered some players were automatically placed in level 1.  To make up for that and give these players a chance to earn the rewards from the event, we will be running this event again on Monday, September 12th at 10am PST.  This will run simultaneously with the upcoming scheduled Operation Spider Silk Event.

We understand this may not be perfect and will work on ways in improving from this in the future. We thank you for your patience!

Any chance you could boost all characters for the whole event like lost in time to speed it up a bit

@LakeStone

Is it possible to play the old Hunt event on s5 and the new Hunt event on s3?
since this means the same event overlapping in 2 different states.
Don’t want accidentally cause Y2K bug and melt the servers or so…

Ack, a rerun of (IMHO) the worst PVE, and it's been what... 3 years since Enemy of the State ran? Annoying.

That Reptil cover was a nice surprise.

"Sorry for messing up the event, to make up for it we're also giving you the chance to mess up your next one too by trying to play 2 events simultaneously" smh.
Why not just give compo to those affected & carry on?

You could play it in different shards

This is the first time some players can triple dip on the same rewards. Great news for those those targetting AW. It's about 1000 worth of shards in total.

@lakestone Just make the rerun progression only. Better solution and it doesn't stress everyone out.

Not if you're in a time zone where only one time slot works

VALACK

Then time slice is change???  Exactly how and permanently???  Running two pve same time?

justsing

so... first we have a regular PVE event and boss event run simultaneously... now we have two regular PVE events run simultaneously...

2x daily grind... that's gonna be great for player burnout... 

ETA: like emswad said, why can't you just give compensation to the players affected by the SCL1 bug?

We heard you like jumping jets so here are some jets to go with your jumping.

I'll probably just run one of these events normally, and do the other for progression.

Not gonna complain about even more progression rewards.

awarnica

This is the best idea collectively from the whole group? Do two events on the same days one with odd times?
So competitive pve players have to figure out which one to do, or play both, and then hope the rest of the alliance also decided to play both?
Even throwing a boss event in with rewards at the same time would be better. Or compensating the few players who were placed wrong. 

This idea - this can’t have been the best option. Someone must not have understood the directions. It is April 1? Has the player base done something to annoy everyone at head office? 

Bowgentle

So, most people didn't enjoy PVE running parallel to a boss.

Makes total sense to run two full events in parallel next, yep.

If your alliance is that demanding and inflexible in the face of system wide anomalies, thats a problem with your leadership. 

Truly, you don’t have to play. I support you doing that which is your passion but if you gotta tinykitty about some inconveniences for a few days; Then maybe its not love but a dysfunctional dopamine fix w/the lights and rewards. 

Thanks for the free cover!
Thanks for trying to mix-up the time zones (a common request from players is that what works for you doesn’t work for them) and hopefully this gives you good data on engagement.
Thanks for being additive with your solutions! Giving more opportunities to make up extra resources is a good thing. 

Thanks for being fast in your response and implementing a solution now! (Even if its not the best-its moving forward) 
Thanks for working on trying to improve things round here! Not every change is going to work, not every release will go smoothly. I feel like those harping on failure to perform must not use any other apps ever or talk with any vendors or ever watch any sports, or have ever updated ios or windows. Life just doesn’t work at level 100%. 

Thanks for making my favorite game!

I like the choices of new time zone even though I'm also fine with the existing time zone. Here's a suggestion that will balance things for some players:

Shake up the timezone for maybe one event every two weeks. Each month, we have 7 pve and 1 boss event. Making 2 out of 7 event a new time zone would enable other players to have a chance to get T10 placements.

I’ve got no problem with this. More stuff to do it a good thing.

Ill run for placement on one and just do progression for The Hunt during off times. Getting more Adam Warlock shards it a good thing for me.

Is the game code prepared for having the same event show up twice? People who joined 5.10 for this Hunt and then 1.10 for the New Hunt - they'd have the same pve show up for half a day - but it would be two open Main Subs of The Hunt then. 

Don't think this event crossover ever happened in MPQ history, but you surely QA'd this so it won't remove players from the Old Hunt or maybe even block them from entering, right?
