In the interest of fairness, would it be possible to set a second Pinata event for every legitimate test, offset by 8-12 hours?
Or are there at least plans to spread the events in time to allow more players to join in?
I'm getting notified via my faction, but these tests are occuring when I'm sleeping, and the advance notice isn't enough for me to plan to wake up to participate, leaving me feeling a little disenfranchised.
more of a suggestion than a bug
Sure, but it could also be considered an issue, since it affects game balance. This forum is for bugs *and* issues, not just bugs.
I concur I would have liked to help out and join in but I too was sleeping, if I had any advance notice I would have set alarm and gotten up.
The timings are set per the convenience of multiple developers who all reside in different timezones. This is not a player event (yet), this is a feature testing. We do not intend to cover different timezone at present, we just want to stress test the system depending on when the developers are available.
The warnings about the attacks are deliberately kept short, because the system is buggy and we do not want to disappoint even more players than necessary. We already have sufficient loads that is causing us issues, if an even heavier load is required, then we will give a more advanced warning.
Thanks!
