Patch Notes Servers Down Thursday, Sept 16th for Small Patch

[IrishElf]

PC Only

• Friend list will now show the last login date for all friends (excluding guild members). The following tooltip will be shown depending on how long it has been since the friend was last online:

You flipped it, but why? It used to be guilds showed like that, now they don't? Was there a limiting factor?

Wow wasted my time in the ez to go get the flair pack, only to discover it wasn’t meant to be two tone?

The flair idea was for season 3 raids for us to choose since the backlash of the purple tags was giving out for no notice and surprised we never got to vote on the flair tag for season 2. The two tone was the best idea ever that we wanted to earn.

Might call up josh and ask his opinion.

I know it was for that. But there were so many great ideas that I figured they would just start pushing them out for future plates. I wouldn’t have purchased it from the crown shop if I thought it wasn’t two toned.

 

[Halleebell]

Given that it isn't mentioned in the patch notes, aren't we all overlooking the possibility that the change in the flair wasn't intended?

Sure but I know people who purchased it after asking and seeing people with the two toned color plate. Which honestly is really crappy.

 

[Firebird]

I could be wrong but I heard the blue didn't show at all if a player was unguilded. Maybe that's the reason.

Yes, best not to get too upset before we find out if the flair change was intentional or a bug.

I really appreciate having the option to see when players on my friends list were last in game. However, I still find this info essential for guild maintainence (for guild leaders and officers.)

Is it possible to have login info show on both the friends tab and the guild tab?? (If not, I will have to constantly make sure that at least one of my toons is friends with every single guild member. (Max guild size is 60 players, don't forget.) This doesn't help me pare down my friends list in any way!! LOL Contrary to popular belief, I don't really want my friends list to be dominated by people who happen to be in the same guild as me!)

Yes, you can see who has lost their house (i.e. hasn't logged into the game within the past 2 weeks at all), but sometimes you don't want to boot a guildie just because they forgot to get their house back, upon returning to the game. (It's also kinder and more realistic to remove inactive guild members after 4 weeks, instead of after only 2 weeks. Real life happens.)

We can live with the feature as it stands, but if it's feasible to see the info on both lists.....Please and thank you!

Yeah checked the patch notes and only says added new flair with No colors and no mentioning of what colors at all. Needs to change back to the two tone flair package that people have earned via the ez or bought with crowns.

Yes. We can do this, and will add it in the next build.

Unfortunately, I'm one of the group that only got the flair because it was gold and blue. So I wasted my sands as I wouldn't have gotten it if it was just all blue. I've gone back to my eclipse flair (all gold) which I prefer over them all.

If it can be changed back or made two tone (maybe the name blue and the guild gold) it would be acceptable. If not, maybe a type of 'trade in' could be added and I could put my sands toward something else.

Thanks for hearing our thoughts.

 

[Sinjin]

Could use it in mobile too, the friend list part

This!

Yes. We can do this, and will add it in the next build.

PC Player: Not only do we get that new feature, we’re also getting an update to that in the next build.
Mobil Player:

2)With 34% abundant harvest I got only 2 times form 25 gathers that's about 8%....Maybe thats just awesome super bad luck....but 8% is not even close to 34%

=BINOMDIST(2,25,0.34,1)
0.002879903985455
In other words, about 0.288% chance of having 2 or fewer events with a 34% probability in 25 tries. Bad luck, yes, but not super bad.

 

[Amaranthine]

I quite like the two-toned colour nameplates from before, though I wish it was the guild name that was yellow instead. But I am happy the nameplates are going to be blue for my guildless alts. I was disappointed when I found out it was kind of pointless if they weren't in a guild. A guildie suggested the idea of being able to flip colours in settings, I think it would be really neat if we can choose. :-D

That exactly super bad luck then! Just Bad luck - when you have around 20% instead of 34%.

I was thinking about this yesterday and had an idea. This is actually a great opportunity for the devs to give the players something new and exciting:

The Otters (accidentally) found a way to display the guild name and player name in different colors. What if all flairs included the option of having the color appear for guild name or player name. That way, if people want the default player name, they can just select "default" for that and pick whatever they want for the guild name (or vice versa).

Of course, this will take some setup to retroactively update all the other flairs, but once that is done future updates will be simple and people will be happier with more customization options. I feel this is a win-win for everybody.

The friends list status does not work correctly if you are friends with more than 1 character from the same account and they don't log into all their characters regularly. It shows the status of the char that hasn't logged in for the longest period instead of the most recent log in. So if you have a friend with a long forgotten alt and think they inactive, they might well still be active.

 

[Lalocat]

(maybe the name blue and the guild gold)

Perfect solution. I had no interest in it when it was two toned, now maybe, but if it's changed to this I'd be interested still. Blue character name, guild name (IF you are in a guild) in gold. We already have two gold nameplates, we didn't need another... but the two tone was nice.

 

[Zar]

I don't like the solid blue ez flair, bring back the two toned it originally was. That is what I paid for.

 

[Ekimie]

Tbh I like the solid blue better. I bought it cause I expected it to be a bug. It looked weird to me. Perhaps bring out a separate one? Cause no matter what you make the true one now, someones gonna be sad

It would just be nice to get an answer on what happened and what should we do or what they’re willing to do for the people who spent real money on it before this change.
