So it’s now a bit after 19:00 tct. The earliest the event could start for people was 10:00 tct. 

When people kept not being able to find eggs, asking staff resulted in people initially being told they could be seen and happy hunting. 

Around 18:59 tct Cloudjumper put in a B&I thread that because of optimizations last year, it prevented the eggs from being seen by the players on at least some if not all pages.

 

They introduced a patch.

 

Right away, people got some eggs if they were searching right then.

 

Then CloudJumper posted that devs reverted the patch because of lag.

 

Even after that some of my faction members were getting server errors..

 

Some people spent a lot of time today going through 100+ pages looking for eggs. 

Kind of curious if others think this could qualify for the time traveler merit for those who had been online today? 

I don’t know, 🤷‍♀️ .

 

Figure with a bunch of issues here and there with events over time. The time traveler merit that hasn’t been given out in over a decade.. having it given out to people who spent time searching today, for eggs we could not see, and have been told now what the issue was..

 

 

There being patches, reversions, server errors…

 

Probably something that could potentially count for that kind of honor these days? Maybe?

Nice try. Even if you're willing to trade in a kidney, the time traveller merit will never be "given" anymore.

So... 

In other words they forgot to turn on the eggs lol... 

 

Right - nevermind the time wasted lol.

We got nothing better to do apparently lol...

I vote YES for TIME TRAVELLER Merit. It got benched before I joined Torn, over 11 years ago. Been waiting to get that one since I started playing

It's incredible everytime you think Torn reaches a new low of development failures, they baffle you again by breaking one of the most basic events. Then completely breaking the game when they try to fix their screw up, truly impressive work.

BrandyQHQ [2899416]

Maybe for people like you, a few energy refills? If there is already the time traveler merit on your account?

idontknowz [3010013]

What was the latest event start time? If we have not surpassed it then an extension should at least apply to those who have already started to compensate for lost time. But I'm also curious to what extent egg visibility was blocked, you said some but maybe not all eggs were hidden? I have not fully looked into it, I've just been looking for eggs lol

Fishyfox [2010062]

Lost eggs makes me really sad, I've probably spawned eggs on random forum pages and profiles that I'll never naturally visit again now while hunting through hundreds of pages today :'(

Aetrus [2473274]

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think eggs that spawn on a profile page or forum post are on that particular page, but they'll appear on profile pages or forum pages.

 

Furthermore, since eggs spawned stay spawned, does it matter if it takes a few more hours later to find it?

Kaylee_Frye [3715179]

Lol right up there with awareness week. There was more items in the day after than the entire week. 

Xmas was the same, spawn rate disappeared.

 

The systems have been limited so severely I don't know that the staff even realise no one is seeing anything

BakedPotato [2889448]

after 6 hours, I got two eggs within 2 minutes, then server error. 
My event started at 14:00 TCT
First Eggs found

20:04:11 - 02/04/26 You picked up a Green Easter Egg
20:05:11 - 02/04/26 You picked up a Brown Easter Egg


Not a complaint, rather just my observation! 

Private_Joker [2488283]

Why do people rush and try to search on first day?
They literally stay in place, just go through all pages on last day(or day before) and thats it.... Event changed, activity is no longer needed. Its just straight up free resources for 10 minutes of going through all links on one day.
