Next FA on Live (BETA Content in Comments)

[DeletedUser7436]

Hi,
Can someone please tell me...when does the next FA start?
Thanks,Nettro

It starts when it starts.
If we had to guess... Thursday or Friday, assuming that someone is reasonably confident that the latest attempt to fix the tick mark bug hasn't broken anything else.
Be warned: FA started on Beta on Friday. The tick mark clearly was NOT fixed as claimed in the Release Notes just after the last FA. Apparently it is illegal to work on the weekend in Germany, so they left us hanging in the wind all weekend.
On Monday the 'fix' broke chat for 2 days.
On Wednesday chat was working but collections didn't always get recognized as completed, and still....
As a player: I collected 5 toolboxes, and guess what, no tick mark to show a badge. So I naturally wondered if new badges were added or old ones changed, or... I hovered on the Badge box and I had a completed bar for Blacksmith badge. So I opened the badge box and then the tick mark appeared. And stayed... until the box was opened again. I tested this with my final badge a Farmers, and the box took 7 to 8 minutes to notice the conditions for a badge had been met on its own. This state of affairs lasted the entire week.
Marindor told us FA would not go to live under these conditions. Our Beta friends game file readers say FA is not returning to Beta, but going straight to live. Hopefully fixed.
Don't hold your breath.
My Discord Server invite will be making the rounds again.

HI Guys!

Awesome update concerning those BETA Issues @Lelanya! With that in mind I have thrown this into the BETA Section due to the content. Not technically a spoiler of course but we like to keep everything in one place to avoid confusion! We'll certainly be keeping our eyes open when it goes Live

Kind Regards

Herodite.

Wow, Menhirok's back! I've been waiting for this for so long as it's one of ma absolute favourite buildings and I deleted by accident the one I got back in 2017. Finally something in this game I can be excited about

EDIT: To be fair I am very excited about this new set too, so that's 2 things in 1 month, it's been a while since that happened

 

[Silmaril]

There are far worse things to be excited about @Hekata and quite a few of us are excited about the current event Building set!

 

[Hekata]

I'm a sucker for nice buildings that can be teleported @Silmaril, it's all it takes to make me happy

I spent a solid minute trying to understand how a Magical Mana Hut 2 was different from a Magical Mana Hut, and why did the list say we would get x 2 when the graphic showed you getting x 1...

I think I need more sleep.

I am quite happy to see that buildings are now being given as rewards in the fellowship adventures......doing an event then running straight into a fellowship adventure just to get the artifacts for the event evolve was getting really tiresome......now that the Spire will be giving out artifacts on rotation, I hope to see more fellowship adventures give buildings......p.s. I was getting concerned that the magical mana hut made it's way to the garbage bin like the wishing well did, it has been a very, very long time since I have seen one being offered.

I'll take credit for Menhirok being an FA prize thanks... as I brought up a week or so ago that it was an FA prize once.
