So what happens when I dont have a chance to logon within the next 3 days. I miss my window to talk to the old man? or Once I sign in after 3 days he appears? Do I have to wait another 3 days?


Its all a bunch of tree hugging hippie bullshiit

I have a theory that might make the Old Man "problem" make sense. I was hoping for confirmation from Thunderheart.


Theory:


When you reach the "glowy" phase the Old Man will visit you at a random interval between 24 hours and 72 hours from when you became "glowy". If you aren't logged in when its your random time then you get a visit from the Old Man the next time you log in (and are outside a city).


If this is the way the Old Man is coded then Tuesday (patch day) makes sense. Everybody who qualified in Group 1 was flagged in the system automatically and assigned their random time for the next few days.


What I don't understand is why this wasn't communicated to us. I understand the need to keep certain aspects of the new system mysterious but the Dev team could have made this public and avoided a lot of angry people.


I apologize if somebody else has raised this theory but there are way to many post for me to read through. I appreciate any postive feedback.

remember that behind "the old man"'s appears is a computer application, that application MUST check certain aspects of each player to see if they are ready, if that criteria is random, fine, but at the end of the day ALL aspects of that criteria must be met for the old fella to arrive. As SOE has said, everyone will get their time, just be patient.









I completed all the required badges. I'm glowy. I deserve my visit professions or no. That's what I was promised.


I will NOT wait months for that greasy old fart to deign to pay me a visit, that's another $15 a month SOE can forget about.

I agree that is was kinda communicated but not in a way that anybody fully understood. If my theory is correct then it should have been stated that NOBODY would get a visit from the Old Man the first day. They were vague as usual and the boards reflect that.

Your just being silly now, also it was days a few posts ago, now it's months??


You could very well get your visit tonight, in 10 minutes or indeed 2-3 days...why not just wait. sounds like a good idea to me. As TurboXwing said, pub 10 has been live for 24th (ish), that's not 3 days!... (just incase 3days is 72 hrs)


again, best of luck.

26 hrs and no one has seen the old coot



so do the math


and For the record


Unlocked post pub 9

100 badges

28 professions

70 crystals

6 tons of resources

35 million credits

did both imp and reb theme parks


not much for me to do. Tired of waiting waiting waiting and still more waiting. Then even after unlocking they want us to do even more to get what we already earned.

I say days because that is the minumum, ASSUMING I'm in the automatic group despite not being a hologrinder, but Blunderheart will not say. That's why I want him to clarify the situation. I was glowy when I logged on yesterday, logically I should be one of the first in line, but I just don't know. Am I behind the hologrinders? How far behind? What group am I in? Does my glowiness count for anything? Do I have days to wait, or months? I DON'T KNOW because he refuses to clarify.

This is wrong, people where contacted on the first day...just not everyone was contacted. the village would have been over run if everyone was contacted.

I haven't seen a single post saying anybody saw the Old Man yesterday. Do you have confirmation?

All vaild questions, ones I clearly can't answer. I guess, like everyone else, you'll just have to wait and see...I'm sure it's not the case that TH is "refusing" to answer, more of the case that he's doing other things??? maybe he's off work..holiday?? I don't know, but it all comes back to the same old comment, be patient and wait your turn.


Also, glowing when u loggedin, an impressive feet, good work.


Oh Boomer, impressive list of stats, profs and creds, good work. However one thing wrong. People HAVE been contacted.
