It has nothing to do with IF we need to..... but fact the favor was earned by those hard working guys maxing the titles and anet just spit in their face and said we know we said we would hand out favor based on titles but it is our game and we can change the rules anytime we wish and there is nothing you can do about it. personally i don't understand this whole math thing it has place for 5 digits so let favor build up to 99999 then reset if it has to reset.

We can see the problem. Now for a possible solution:-

Reduce the number of minutes of favor extended from 3 to 2 (permanently),and possibly 1, when we have weekends like this.

That's fair, innit?

ROFL yeah shoud of use "long"

They should just store it in minutes not milliseconds. We get 1 hour and then +3 minutes everytime someone maxes a title.

I don't see the problem.

If you want to go to UW, move to the European servers?

omg i get it yey

Integer and long are data types used in programming. integer for whole number long is used when values will be long...lol

Seems they have reset it several times according to one of my guildies. o.O Apparently they don't want us to have favor for that long.

Another way for THE MAN to keep us down!!!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

Overflow!

If it is (2^31-1)/(1000*60) is 35791 minutes and change or 2^15 or whatever people posted.

The fact is that 3 weeks of favor got lost (~23 days).

I did not like the new title-grind based system from day one, it was a bad replacement for an even worse system.

Time to fix this not really good solution so that it is at least not failing like it just did!

iz teh guvermunt!!1 dey mad em do it!

Does it really matter? 8k+ and counting. Not like FoW/UW mean shit anymore. If it wasn't for shards and ecto those areas would be dead.

It might surprise you but alot of people actually enjoy it.

I like how everyone QQs over this, speculates on what happened, and yet we know NOTHING official yet. It doesn't really matter. If we lost an entire month of Favor, do you really think it will take long to get favor long enough to do UW/FOW anyway? When was the last time we didn't have favor for an extended period of time? The new system works in a way that allows us to have favor virtually non-stop. When we lose it, it isn't lost for long.

I'm glad people think they know what happened. But it doesn't matter what happened. If it was intentional or not, it doesn't matter. If it was a bug, it didn't ruin anything anyone was doing.

**cosyfiep** · Jan 20, 2008, 07:44 PM // 19:44

its the weekend, no one is working at anet, wait until monday and, uhm, monday is a holiday....so wait until tuesday and then we might get a reply.

Favor "up time" was continuously decreasing as more and more people are done with their titles for HoM (as predicted by people who didnt like this idea). You might have noticed that instead of few minutes of wait it was couple of hours of wait lately.

This event removed a lot of undone titles that could have fueled steady favor for better half of year, it also removed big favor burst that was making up for that.

So yes, it will take longer to get favor.

Also, it if was intentional or not matters. A lot. Luckily, it seems to be bug, otherwise anet is in big QQ trouble.

Freke · Jan 20, 2008, 07:51 PM // 19:51

I dont see why everybody cares so much for losing favor. We have it most of the time anyways, but you arrogant people cant stand not having it just most of the time. And these people earning their titles? They don't care at ALL about 3 minutes of favor- they care about maxing titles so that they get an even elite-ier tier on the Maxed Title track. It's the d-bags sitting in the Temple of Ages that whine so much about being unable to farm ectos straight for 23 days. QQ moar, kthxbai.

I have 13 characters. I know I have more than the 'average' player, but even the 'average' player will have 3-4 characters. How many people have GWAMM on even 1 character? How many people have Kind of a Big Deal on more than 1 character?

If people start maxing titles on their other characters, favor will pop back to a frequent status.

I play about 4 hours a day, 7 days a week. I have 13 characters still with titles I can and want to max. Someone who plays 3-4 hours a week will still have plenty of options for titles to max.

Casuall people will max out titles a lot less often. And hardcores, well, they tend to focus on single character nowadays, thats what game design supports nowadays. After all of HM you get burned out easily.

do YOU plan to have GWAMM on several characres?
do YOU plan to get even KOABDs on several characters?

I know I don't plan either of those thing. There is no point in maxing titles on secondary characters, even if you are spread-attention-to-all-of-em type of player like i am (10 chars).

LOL I love the attempt to combat a larger issue with your personal habits. Perhaps I should generalize myself and say, I only max titles on one of ten characters and have no intention of doing so for the rest. Therefore we'll have a shortage of favor in no time, but wait that'd be inaccurate wouldn't it?
