    Like the title says. Got a 6 hour tasktimer. Didnt see that in patch notes so reporting it as a bug.

    edit: This was shei and aten ha ra. I didnt get a chance to try the last 2.

    Close the Gate is still 3 hours. By report so is the one in BA. So only the two out of Maidens eye. I really hope this is not intentional

    These should be 3 hour lockouts, as per the first few months of the expansion. No mention of this being changed.

    Closing the gate is 3 hour timer but the other 3 are showing 6 hour.

    I hope they revert these back to 3x hour lockouts. It was nice to be able to do them both before and after raids.

    I agree!

    It's amazing how much crap they break in each patch that's totally unrelated to anything they're actually trying to fix in the patch.

    Or, maybe they are saying without saying anything the 3 hour lockout was a mistake and should have been 6 all along?
  9. Fenthen aka Rath

    The problem is that they didn't say anything!

    It's not a mistake. People were exploiting the 3hr lockout to do them 50 + times a day.

    Yeah, this reduces task completion significantly for anyone who has a job. If it was intentional, then just say something

    How exactly do you do a mission with a 3 hour lockout 50 times a day ?
    That would require a 'day' to be 150 hours.

    So, how would changing the lockout to 6 hours fix anything ? People would only be able to do them 25 times a 'day' ?

    Posting exploits can get you in trouble. But 3 hr lockout only need 1 toon to request. Lockout timer is reduced by how long it took you to do the mission and the task has a 6 hr duration. Figure it out.
  15. Raccoo Augur

    Sounds like they should decrease the 6 hour duration instead of increasing the lockout.

    Anecdotally, a lot of us in our guild found the 3 hour timers to be much less restrictive and much more conducive to finding groups to run the missions.

    This is why the popular MMOs don’t put stupid lockout timers on missions. Turns out an MMO needs people to play together.

    I put in a petition the night of this happening, they basically told me they would pass this along to the right people and asked me to also post a thread on the forums since the devs check them periodically. So hopefully they see this thread and we can get some kind of a response to why this happened and if they will change it back.

    What exploit ?
    If the mission has a 3 hour lockout and people are doing the mission every 3 hours there is no exploit.
