VIP/lovers change?

Postby divachimika » Tue May 07, 2019 1:27 pm

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll try!

It says VIP changes to Lovers at 1 am CST on Tuesdays. Why hasn't it changed yet???
It is now Tuesday, and 2:25 PM CDT/1:25 PM CST.

https://prnt.sc/nlp05g

Maybe I'm just confused, but it seems to me like it should be lovers mode now..

The change is done manually, afaik, thus there might be some delays.

I see! Thank you for replying!

This is quite a delay, though... It's still VIP!!! Is BMG asleep? :P

EDIT: it's 10 PM CST, and still VIP mode. Will we get another day of Lovers mode now that most of the day is gone?

And it's happening again... One day overtime. This is really annoying when you wait a week for lovers :(

The fact that it's changed manually is a problem... They should be able to automate the rotation so that this situation is avoided.

It's Thursday and still no lovers mode. I was looking forward to it and now this happened. I just hope that when it finally comes we get an extended amount of time to play.

Last time this happened they changed it back to VIP on Tuesday as usual, so we didn't get more time... But this time it's been way longer before they switch, so we really should get more lovers?! When they even charge extra for the coven expansion, this is unacceptable LOL :roll: It's 2019, make it automatic!!!!

I've given the devs a heads up, I apologoize for not havign done it earlier. It might be taken care of in some time.

No, it has to be done manually. Shape got informed Wednesday, he said he'd tell Josh, but I gather it still hasn't changed yet.

So at least from the Mod/Admin team: Apologies, we'd change it for you guys if we could, but sadly we can't.

Well it should autochange as long as the database entries are present, which I believe have run out again.

I feel like this would be really helpful to Administrators as a command in-game, if they insist on keeping it as a manual change, and even if they were to automate it, in-case it gets stuck.

Probably could get Blake to do something if we discuss it. Doubtful, but possible.

I haven't heard anything about this and I doubt they would, since VIP is a popular gamemode.

It was Vigilantics that was talked about getting replaced (and had been replaced). Rivals was taken out due to a low popularity. Maybe there will be a third mode eventually, but there is none planned at the moment.

So we got two weeks of VIP because no one bothered to change it to lovers, and then they change it back to VIP after just ONE WEEK of lovers??? Do they want people to stop playing their game, or what is their deal? :?

They put it back to original schedule. It broke because the schedule for the script ended after running for a year (I believe) so now it's back on schedule.

Tbh people tend to like vip over lovers. So no one is going to stop playing over it. And believe me, they improved switching a lot. It was probably issue with task not running last week.

Amythyr is correct. They currently fill a database-table with the changes and the refilling took longer than there were entries for changes. I believe it was previously that each time the change had to be done manually completely.
