[Lord Sevenous]

I’m sure it will be back. I don’t think it was intended to run 24/7. Plus, they might be fixing some issues, like the sound issue.

IIRC there was something on twiiter that said PGI is currently playing around with Event Q, testing stuff.
Its not intendet to stay as it was right now.

They want to make bigger/longer events that they will announce in advance.

So I guess the same, either the Event Q testing is over for now or Its a bug.
It can also be that they pulled it because there wasn't enough people playing. I hope its not that. I like it, I just hadn't time to play much.

Or the MM issue.... or the invalid Skill tree issues....or the Laser AMS issue some have complained about (which im not sure it because of the patch)


They have broke the game and they take the day off, if thats not showing you how much they care i dont know what is.

[Nesutizale]

From what I get there is a national holiday. People not working during that is pretty much normal.

If its common to take the day of its practily the same. I mean the babarians of the south also have more days off because of a guy with a funny hat in Italy.

Either way. One day more or less won't kill me. I mean how long have we waited for any kind of movement on PGIs side and survived that. So....I care more about that they find what is wrong and actualy fix it.

Frankly with a game this old, this unprofitable, hard to improve at all and little manpower and a licence that is running out its a wonder that they do anything at all.

The name of 'event' queue kinda hints that its going to be like other events as a set length and not a 24/7 option. As others have said they are probably working on the hotfix patch and there isn't anyone to make a new event up since its probably a bit time intensive to figure out what would be fun settings to use. Maybe they need to make a sticky topic and ask for opinions on what type of events the players would like to see.

[LordNothing]

my only real complaint is that the events did not last longer. between 1-3 days depending on the event.

Only with the permission of Upgrayedd.

i take it canadians are like americans in that a one day holiday close to a weekend becomes a four day weekend.

Only if "Canadians" are similar to "Yankees"...

The bigger question is: when are they adding drop decks to quick play?

I don't find the twitter post but Bombadil, I think it was him, said that the current "few hours" format was just for them to play around with it. To see how stuff works....basicly a beta test.

They want to do bigger/longer events that will be announced in advance in the future.

Its not only canadians doing that. I just have it too.
Beside that, yes please let it return. I only had the chance to play 2 of them but it was fun. One with light mechs (and I hate lights) but when everyone was playing them it became a fun, chaotic slugfest. So many Urbies

Yes....so much yes to this. Conquest in particular would benefit from this so much.

I still suspect it was the existence of the active Event Queue which was screwing up the match maker in Quick Play over the past few days. Perhaps it’s down for code review.

i think they just created another system that needs to be manually fed event data periodically or it doesnt work, because that worked out so well in faction play.
