Nothing would make me happier than to do this...

However, the innocent would also be affected which is a no go in my book.

With this short of seasons, I feel like we can ride this one out as is.

First of all I want to thank everyone that gave valuable input to us on this latest AvA iteration. I feel like we addressed a few of the major issues surrounding the AvA ruleset and we are looking forward to seeing how those tweaks play out in the next few seasons.

I did want to address a few issues that we saw during the weekend.

1) The Stockpile Resource BP. This was an oversight by us. We meant to remove this from the game, but instead we only removed the ability to research this item. This gave certain agencies over the weekend a huge advantage over newly participating agencies. This was not intended, however there is not a good way to fix it for the weekend season zones.

We have removed these blueprints from all agencies going forward so that we can eliminate the impact that those specific blueprints will have on the weekday zones.

2) HQ Moving - We are going to add a buildup timer to moving the HQ intra-zone. It will be 1 hour. New HQ placements are not impacted.

3) Tier 2 and Tier 3 facilities. We are looking at reducing the research required to move up through the tiers. We feel that with the new season length the requirements may be too high atm.

4) End of season rewards. Even though we made forward progress in rewarding individuals for playing AvA matches and have unique items being given to the agencies for placing in the season, there is more we want to do. One thing we are contemplating is giving loot to every agent in the winning agencies at each season end. Just wanted to give a heads up that this is an on going concern to make sure we are properly rewarding the participants. (This may even go deeper than the agencies that get special flair, such as a consolation prize to everyone involved...)

5) After all of the zones close this season we will be resetting all resources prior to the next season (i.e. deleting all ava components, bp, and facilities). All finished goods will be carried over from season to season. Our goal here is to make each season a full "net worth" reset and all agencies on an equal playing field.

The current plan is this will happen on the AvA off day (Friday August 27th).

Thanks again for helping us move forward in a positive way!

** Locked Because I Think We Fixed This **

Please make a new thread if you see it again.

^^ This ^^

Or I'll lock it.

It seemed like it was very much about 4-man queues, and all those threads have come to life today despite the fact that it's been spoken to directly at this point.

I moved it here so you can keep complaining if you want, though.

I was attempting to dissuade rage.

The official answer for now:

Hey,
Please Verify your game files for me.

Through Steam:
Go to Steam
Find Global Agenda in My Games

Choose "Verify integrity of game cache..."

Through the Hi-Rez Patcher:
Open the Hi-Rez Updater Service
Click Options
Select the game version(Live or Public Test)
Click Validate Installation

Can you also get a screenshot of the crash report?

Friendly Reminder: The season is only 2 weeks long.

The shader system is different for rainbow dye I believe

I know this one is in the queue to be fixed.

You can't even imagine how much work it took to make the rainbow dye.

most likely that there will be a generation 2

Thanks for a productive thread. Shutting it down. See quote below.

It's called a Boonie cap!

I believe solo expert is 50%/50% rare/epic

There was no change to the drops in any of the missions. The only change made was to give raids all Epic drops.

That's why they are bound now. When we change it to a single flair it will become available.

spec is something we are looking to display once we have profiles in

Here is how the system works:

- It's now much easier now to get good equipment to compete with

- It's harder now to get the absolute best equipment to compete with

I'd faint again, but I think I wanna login and play instead.

Reference

This should be mostly fixed after the 08/12 patch. We understand that this did not fix the problem for all users though and are still looking into those on a case by case basis.

Please provide us with the following information so we can properly analyze the problem:

-What kind of antivirus software do you have?

- What type of connection do you have? ( DSL, Cable, etc... )

- Are you connected through a public network such as a college campus?

- What region of the world are you located in?

- Are you connecting via a wireless connection, or plugged into the router?

Please do the following steps so we can analyze your connection support.

- Open a command prompt
(If you are on XP: Select Start - Run - Type CMD; If you are on Vista/Win7: Start - Type CMD)

- At the command prompt type tracert inapatl.globalagendagame.com

Copy and paste this information into your reply and we can investigate further.
