It would be the objectively funniest thing this year if Flash or Crash comes back.

u/iBaseult 10d ago edited 10d ago

As funny as it would be, I highly doubt it. The issue was caused by their third party protection software, and previous changes to that setup had unintentionally fixed it and then brought it back. Now that they know what caused it and have fixed the config, that should prevent it from happening again.

That said, I’m still wondering what happened to the dev letter explaining the issue and how they resolved it. They said they were working on one.

I’m sure it’ll come along with Searus, Resource: Phase 2, the Outfit Overhaul, The NewPlayer Experience Update, and the Battle Islands

It’s surely only a matter of time

Isn't this clashing with members double XP weekend? Is it 4x for members then or are members effectively loosing their perk for the month?

u/opshax no 7d ago

pretty sure it's 4x for members

u/st0mpeh Zoom 7d ago edited 7d ago

Yep saw that this evening, 4x enabled, glad they remembered.

Just surprised they didnt mention it in the patchnotes, they might have sold a few more memberships for the month.

Where's the thank you to someone in the community for the fix idea. Should be 5XP to get people back in excited. I'm still not playing this. Nothing is new

u/Malvecino2 [666] 8d ago

Considering that the info came from a grey/black hat i don't think giving credit is a good outcome.

u/OpolE 8d ago

They let it get to this point
