That’s a bit more comforting… still, would have been nice to get the word out, you know, sooner.
I assume it’s got to do with the bugs. There’s likely only one way to tweak it and that’s take it offline.
Fully agree with what has been said here. This comes as a real surprise. If anything, a limited timeframe should have been announced with (at latest) the launch. Furthermore, I think 2 weeks are in general way too short for running an in-game event (not even taking into account the grind required). Not every players logs in from day one or every day, or has enough playtime to potentially enjoy the event throughout 2 weeks.
If it returns with Chapter 4, why not provide clear dates to alleviate concerns directly. It feels like we’re having the same uncertainty as with random Bazaar rotation, which doesn’t feel great. And if this should be related to changes or bug fixes, just clarify and it would be ok.
I guess we all love the idea of having a world that feels more alive, but this - at least without knowing more - is probably upsetting more players than making them happy.

I think it just dawned on me why it’s being recalled back. The timers. The timers need to be fixed and we all know that. The timers are all set to be linked to player activity vs server and that means we must slowly wait not just 24 hours worth of play but 48 to get the werebear.

Yes we do.
We stay.
We suffer.
We support.
Hell yea we need answers!
Remove the freaking hyena pet for awhile if you have issues , not the whole event!
For gods sake let us play already!

Well now you must just be trolling. You’ve literally just told me that you do actually care about the issues bugging other players, in a conversation about the removal of persistent custom inventory and the removal of normal mouse functiuon from radial menus. I get that these things don’t bother you, but you claim to understand that they do bother others. RMB use item from menu is not ‘most’ it’s just ‘some’. How can you possibly act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, so close on the heels of exactly that point?

Testing at this second.
How many people see that as an issue? I really need this explained why it is an actual issue. Takes me all of an “oh” to adjust to it.
That’s two.
ETA: no sort doesn’t seem to be resorting after I sort. Still testing.
The issue I’m having with the new radial wheel is probably different than most. In my case when I use the new system I’m ok with it no problems but my issue is after I select an option my mouse cursor gets reset to a random corner of my screen. I never had this issue before so it’s just more of an annoyance then anything having to readjust my self usually in battle after giving my thrall a comand.
funcom logic,
-
lets make an event that requires a lot of grinding. by making the recipes and rewards expensive.
-
lets advertise the event for Age of war chapter 4 (tHAT should last about 3 months)
-
now lets announce the end of it on the 15, (just 6 days before the event ends) but it will be back at some point but do not announce dates or anything. (FOMO)., and lets called an experiment , (experiment) that no one asked for.
-
we might see fangs at the store in the near future. cause why not? its an experiment after all.
its just me .,. or this does not seems right?
i just cant understand the level of informality!

I have the feeling that they are experimenting with luring players.
Instead of having everyone end the event on the 1st weeks and going back to only refresh timers (Some of you) they are gona stop it midway forcing players to come back to the game later to finish getting the rewards (And check the Bazzar) . Making players stay for longer and having 2 peaks of players thru the age. Im sure they are also placing some crazy stuff in the bazzar during those times. Im looking at you Poitan Knight.

And just like that they’re removing the main focus of this update.
People who want to interact with new content and grind the rewards will lower their activity or outright stop active play and wait.
Doubt they will reactivate the Sorcerer’s Hunt event or add anything as a replacement so one of the major points of this update will get removed less than a month into age.

I’m of the opinion we will see more events like this. At this point it’s all about getting butts in seats consistently for the player count.
So, just to be clear, the actual content of Chapter 4 is going away after two weeks with no actual return date?
Remember when this one previously offered tacitly defense of it being a rotating event and having reruns?
This one was wrong. In light of the new context, this one has nothing polite to say in this regard.
On the other than polite side…
As this one has noted, with every update there is a price to pay for anything decent.
When they allowed a partial reversion from chapter 3’s atrocious combat changes, it came with the atrocious inventory UI changes.
Now that we are getting a partial reprieve from the atrocious UI changes, we are having the defining event of the Chapter yoinked.
Nothing improves and any time something wretched is rolled back, something else must be enshittified.

Maybe they are testing events that can be toggled on and off. Would be nice to have random events on a weekly basis.
