Kevkof 806 Posted November 4, 2018 As mentioned in the post linked below, the events last for 2 weeks as of the 30th. So that would mean they end on the morning of the 13th of November. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattScott 15242 Posted November 5, 2018 Hi there, Epidemic started late, but as others have mentioned, it will go for two weeks through the 13th. The current plan is to start Gun Game next, and then roll into Christmas. I’ll be posting the exact dates as we get closer and finished testing new pieces. Thanks, Matt 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Matt Playing the game today, i think the majority of the players want the engine upgrade and the old threat system back. You probably have about 4000 players in the game right about now if you release both features and promote it/advertised it on steam and elsewhere. The new event though is interesting, but didn't hold my interest because the game feels the same. The engine upgrade and a new district with this event will make it more fun. hope to see and play the event in a new map one day.

I agree, I feel like when the new Engine is upgraded and promotions will overall make a big change but I understand it takes time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For real, Like yeah i want something new and change now and then but I actually want to play the game without it breaking half way lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TooStrong 15 Posted November 5, 2018 yea the servers were a messed, but the lag doesn't bother me, i think its funny and i always laugh when it happens. But i believe that once they upgrade the engine or whatever maybe the game won't lag/have server issues. This sort of stuff has been happening since 2011, it never ends. So that's why it doesn't bother me anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookiePuss 5382 Posted November 5, 2018 Hey guys. When you mention "engine upgrade", can you specify between 3.5 and 4.0? I feel like it helps clairfy both where you are coming from, and if you have any idea what you are talking about. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neophobia 216 Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, TooStrong said: I was referring to the old threat system. oh, the one that was developed like 5-6 years ago and probably uses outdated, non-functional code? (assumption) that has exactly the same flaws but uses different symbols? that only has the advantage of being able to show off once you enter the district? the one that was exploited by going into an empty district with your friends? the issue is the matchmaking, not the symbols. and they are working on that. and either way, you probably couldn't just add it back without putting in extra work - and even then, it really can't change much. why would a sane company waste time on that... do you know how many left just cause they didm't like the new symbols? i certainly don't but i'd assume it's not enough to think that it'd save the game. what kind of advertisement would they make? "hey, we added 6 year old stuff back to our game" still completely offtopic. sorry for joining in on the derailing.

Zolerox 564 Posted November 6, 2018 I'm enjoying it sometimes but the "daily activities" are draining it for me it's like someone lending you a nano and then asking for Favors every 5 mins. Christmas "The Jolly Butcher" just an idea (any excuse to bring back that dynamic event) Imagine "The Butcher" but on a District wide scale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
