Wishful holiday thinking. This game, and it's forum are similar to the same types of things players said way more than a decade ago on several platforms, including the once famous MySpace. From a business standpoint, you keep adding small changes and events, picking up some money...after years though, nothing brings in players interests like before, because nothing is of value to the player anymore. Too often after time, companies put so much effort into discounts for new players, and yet failing to please the old money spenders. New players are vital. Without them, games fade away. I've been involved in at least 20 games at a high level in this millennium, with myself being a top player, or THE top player in a handful of those games. I've spent many many $$$ getting there, way more than probably most people reading this, and that "wide eyed" emoji would be the reaction if people actually knew the amount. My spending cooled off when I realized my entertainment costs were wasteful. In the end, companies stopped pleasing veteran players, and went for new players with the bulk of their efforts, and in ways that hurt the veteran players. There needs to be a balance, but I've yet to see it after 16 years of online gaming. In the end, all of those games are defunct, gone, deleted, and so are many of the companies.
Not sure I understand what you're sayin'. But there is no holiday wishful thinking at all. I'm sayin' a community comp hosted by myself and a few others might be jus' what we need for next Christmas event. There will of course be those that'll participate and those that'll participate in the EW Event. Either way, I'll be hosting a Christmas Event next year and I'm hoping some others will host with me, if I'm still on earth and EW still exists- so no wishful thinking- jus' some simple planning. ;) 8-) Peace.

BCKidd.

Not any more it isn't. It's centered on attracting the me generation and instant gratification generation, and neither have any thing to do with hunting. It is just the conduit.

I've been playing this game for 5 years, and I would be perfectly happy if they never developed it further than the day I started. Because then..it was a hunting game, and a hunting game only. Who cares about 40+ species, 12 reserves, all of the other junk they have dumped on the servers. The game, maintained, would still be just fine if they just enhanced the GAME PLAY only. Fix the bugs. Enhance the experience of playing a hunting game, not by more stuff, but by making what they have better. There were plenty of animals, plenty of reserves 5 years ago. They didn't have to add anything. They were making money, or they wouldn't have been in business.
There is no profit in improving what is already created, only additions will add increased revenue. Membership alone may support the servers, but without a profit there is no reason to do that.
The above statements are strictly my opinion, and should not be taken as fact, even if I believe them to be true.

Yes there is, if it's monetized.

Anyone else having a problem with the "Moose Master Ben McLane Busts a Move" mission?

(done) First, harvest a Moose with a heartshot while in Redfeather Falls. Other organs may be hit.
(done) Then, harvest another Moose but unspooked with at least 14 typical points while in Red Feather Falls in the same hunt.
(won't update) After completing the first two objectives, wrap up the day and head over to Mihkomekwan Falls Campsite in the same hunt.

I completed the first two items (have them checked off) and then because it's late and I want to get to bed, I used a camping supply to get to Mihkomekwan Falls Campsite. When I get there, no update. I run out about 120m and walk back in, no update. I hunt a couple of animals and track a bit and walk back into the campsite, no update. I can hear the transition sound when I walk in, but no update.

Any ideas on what to do? I don't want to log out of the game and have to start over. It took me 3-4 hours to get the first two items done. So, I'm going to bed and leaving the game running. Hope it doesn't kick me from the server. Maybe after the sun goes down and I have to go to a campsite or lodge, I can walk back to the campsite and it will update. I'll let you know what happens by editing this post later.

In the mean time, if anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them. (yes I'll contact support if it doesn't work out or finish the update on the 3rd item ;-) )

Thanks

UPDATE: Well, end of day happened and I'm still on the server. So I fast travel away from the campsite and walk back to it. No update. Go out and kill a moose and come back, no update. Guess I'll contact support. Hope no one else has this problem. For now, I would recommend that you not fast travel to the campsite after finishing the first two steps of the mission. Good luck all ;-)

I don't know if this mission worked for others (it seems it does or we would see a lot more posts about it in here), but checking off travel objectives in RFF has a long history... :roll:

If it doesn't work, contact support and let them check off the mission manually and award you the 20k Present$ - good luck! :)

What does it mean: wrap up the day? Maybe to start a new day in the same hunt? or finish hunting day reaching the campsite?

Iron Moose vs. paper bullets.



Next time I'm gonna borrow a tank from WOT maybe I'll have more chances...
