So, in past years the Anniversary Event starts mid-June and extends to mid-July. I was guessing it would start yesterday based on past years. Are we having an Anniversary Event this year?
Regarding Freelancer Weeks and the Arbiter. There is a pattern developing that the Arbiter only comes “on-time” when it is going to be a PVP week vs the other two options. Is this intentional? Based on the old every other week the Arbiter should have come on Sunday June 12th. It is Thursday and he is still not here. This late arrival has occurred 3 or 4 times at least this year, if not more. I don’t think this a petition item, it happens to everyone on the server.
If Freelancer weeks are not going to happen every other week please admit you have changed the pattern of the Arbiter’s arrival.
Thank you, Emma
Well, ofc while I was typing my forum post the Arbiter shows up. That still doesn’t explain why so many weeks are only three days long instead of seven.
Regarding the anniversary event, we’re probably still a little early. In the previous years, the event started at:
Year Event start date
2011 22 June
2012 22 June
2013 22 June
2014 27 June
2015 25 June
2016 23 June
2017 27 June
2018 25 June
2019 18 June
2020 17 June
2021 16 June
I do wonder why the Arbiter keeps not spawning though
I’m just OCD enough to try to see if there was a pattern to the start date…nope. Most start in the latter part of the week but other then that it’s a 2 week window for the actual event. Probably the ongoing short staffing.
Arbiter… at this point I think that arbiter is manually turned on & whoever does it has permission to annoy us if he/she feels like it. “Once is bad luck, twice is coincidence. three times is Enemy Action!”
I guess Arbiter spawn was automated but something went wrong in the process and no one knows how to handle it. so they have to do it manually. just my guess as a programmer ^^
Hope they have a resub deal. I planned on resubbing since christmas when they didn’t have one then. (as far as I can remember). I know it’s only a few bucks but just bugged me. ya know like … throw us a bone once in a while.
There was a subscription offer around Christmas, but it wasn’t a discount but a set of bonus armour Subscription discounts are very rare (I think the last one was in 2017 or 2018).
Anniversary Event has come and gone. I am pretty sure today would be the start of a Freelancer Week. It is late again … is this something manual that someone just keeps forgetting?
Honestly, it feels to me like it has become an “accident on purpose” thing. Gawd knows there have been enough players & posts pointing out the no show. Latest thing, in what little dev/improment time is testing of new sticky threads in discord (Thank you Andy!):
