Ceazer Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I knew I wasn't Crazy. I noticed this first thing when I logged in. I had just moved thousands from my Rag server to SE last night. Was going to feed all my snails today. I just got the beehives up and running the other day.....guess bk to square one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtallbloke Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I have no idea whats going on with WC atm. I know we have had periods of them being bad before, but this is really taking the biscuit. They are not replying to ANYTHING about ANYTHING atm. Nada- not even a " we broke stuff bare with us, working on it". This just shows a complete lack of care of respect for the player base that has pretty much bank rolled this project. Again another weekend and another broken patch, DC after DC, more broken stuff, more item changes not listed in patch notes...ANYWHERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraggleRock Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It's THEIR game and the end result is probably going to be good. My advice is bear with it and see what happens at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FraggleRock Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If I just briefly, considered the years of data accumulated from these forums, I would look at the dev's behavior as being normal for somebody that sees their end goal, and is working towards it. Ultimately it's an early access game, and it's THEIR game. They are going to do with it what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you still seem pretty pissed. LOL. i know they got spoi timers now, but last patch where they fixed flowers and mushroom behavior all mu shrooms where gone from cabinet, i just started collecting them again, now is it like that i cant get into server again as my char is on eu rag 35, and it is down, so cant get back to my main sever to feed dinos and take a look at my rare flowers, it all such balls but what it is only a early access game, so far away from release. WC will fix all the problems before realease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You paid for a product that was flawed when you paid for it. They told you that. They told you they were going to fix it. Just because you don't like the fix doesn't mean a lawsuit.

Hauven Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Wonderful /s. Yet they still don't respond or actively work on the more important game breaking issues/bugs such as ORP with babies not going to juvenile if all tribe members are offline. Well, at least baby Wyvern's food consumption is supposed to be fixed now (can't try it yet though as the official servers are all seemingly unplayable since the recent major update).

JamesDoty Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well, I managed to log in to my server for almost 2 minutes AND I got to interact with my Theri. It had some flowers still in inventory. The spoiler time was counting down about 3 ticks per second. Definate bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maahes Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Is it just me or do they both (flowers & mushrooms) now weight a ridiculous amount as well? As with most of their recent changes I can't understand what good, balance or fun this brings to the game, just seems like change for changes sake.

Volcano637 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 19 hours ago, Rencraft said: So everyone is aware... if you can get online by some act of god or some other supernatural entity.. check your rare flower stock. Every rare flower we had in our base is gone, at least any outside of the fridge is gone, too include the 12 stacks that were in our beehive. They secretly put a timer on them... why is it a secret.. well there is NO MENTION OF IT IN THE PATCH NOTES!! While I can see the reasoning behind it...to an extent... not allowing your players the chance to head off such an event... like making things that didn't spoil before SUDDENLY spoil... WITHOUT ANY raptorING WARNING... is bad development...its bad PR... it shows that you cannot effectively communicate with your player-base... To some this may seem like a small thing, but when you add it all together with the many many changes that have come about and the many more to come before release... Recently they changed sweet cakes to require bee honey, prompting us to go out and find bees that before had little use, no problem... Now with the change to the rare flower spoil timer, in which there was no warning to, only those that can gather them in massive quantities or have stored them in something that ups the spoil time is safe. During the time it took to download this patch we lost every flower we had... a whole cabinet gone... coupled with the 40 some-odd boots and crashes off our server... Point is! Not allowing your player-base the chance to contend with a sudden change like this in a timely manner is insulting... I am of course referring to the fact there is ZERO mention of it in any official posting i have found.... not one post... nothing within the notes... Wildcard... what the raptor is going on? If the change is intentional I understand but why did you not give us warning of it? Why is there no mention of it in the patch notes? Why must we now scramble to keep our now important bee hives alive and try desperately to restock on flowers? Yeah I do have to admit that it is hard to defend them on this one.

onizuka89 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Ah, yes this was quite the lovely surprise... Same thing as with the mushrooms, except nothing needed those to live for us at least. This one could have been ugly though, considering the beehive needs these flowers... Hopefully they don't pull any more fun tricks like that out of the hat, like maybe adding an spoil rate on fertilizer and have them all disappear and kill all the crops, that would have been a nice surprise for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraggleRock Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Just now, ducttapefixeseverything said: And the new WC paid poster has just become obvious. When volcano637 says he can't even defend them and they went too far, and you defend? Yes. Shoo, troll. We recognize you for what you are. Your .25 cents for your posts have already been deposited. Fix means make better. Not break a working system. Perhaps instead of screwing around with what works, they could, ya know, fix the unbelievable rubber band and lag. Or, I know!! Fire the tard that makes these sorts of decisions and use the cash saved to better their DDoS system or maybe go with a better server provider than Nitrado! Or just not pay you to come here and raptorpost. Either way, obvious shill is obvious. Actually, it IS a broken sandbox MMO. That's what happens when you play an early access video game. It sucks - but people like it anyway, and learn to deal with the ups and downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thexone Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I logged in and figured i better come here to see what's broken since we had an update. Lol. And thanks to this post I checked my beehive and made a beaver damn run just in time to save it but not sure how long it will last. The beehive needs to just stop producing honey without flowers not "die". I'm the only person in my tribe that still plays. This game is grindy enough without changes like these. Pretty much accepted the fact that my snails will be dead in a week or so without major effort on my part. Anyone know how long the flowers last inside the beehive?

Thexone Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I saw there was an update so I hoped over here to see what might be "wrong" with the game now. lol. Glad I saw this post. Are we certain about that spoil time in the beehive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
