Favor Points relief...

April 29, 2009 4:39:36 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

We made some server side changes today that work around some of the Favor point issues and gave everyone 150 favor points.

We are still waiting on an update to address it not storing items you purchased on the database but your favor points should now be accumulating again.

So what caused it? In a nutshell, it got broken when we did that day 0 server move. The data was going off to a table on the old database.

Let me know if you're still experiencing problems. You shouldn't get negative favor points (but you will have to keep rebuying the items until we get the GPG fix).

Excellent it sounds like I can start re-enabling favor items in my games then. Thank you for the update.

So we shouldn't be purchasing items yet? Just accumilating points for when it saves again?

Or when this is all fixed the items we previously bought will be present again? I just want to be sure as it sounds like the problem hasn't improved beyond being able to horde points if the system won't save the items you previously purchased after the update.

Thanks again!

What I've been experiancy lately (Last Friday 24th) was:

Play Game 1

Start off with zero favor points and no favor items unlocked.

Play Game 2

Start off with 700+ favor, still no items unlocked, but now I can purchase one.

Play Game 3

Start off with zero favor points and no favor items unlocked.

Play Game4

Start off with 700-X, X being equal to what I had purchased in game #2, but still have no favor items unlocked.

------------------------

This was all with custom games.  At which point I gave up even caring about favor and would buy something to use if I could, and if I could not I'd just not worry about it.

-Jara

PS: If this is fixed... I will be very very happy.

Only 150 points?  .  I think most of us afflicted have earned a lot more than that and wouldn't mind if some people who haven't been playing much online get more than their fair share out of this.  It's good that this is getting addressed though.

When you played online and earned favor points and went back, did you have more?

Do we get favor points from custom games, or only skirmish and pantheon now?  Which was mentioned last week as a change for this epoch because it was too easy to just compstomp for favor.  i.e. did that change go in?

I had -476 favor points went I went into a Pantheon game today. This was after going 8-1 in Pantheon games today.

 

My opponents had favor points, got Swift Anklet, and ruined us.

Actually I'd keep them disabled, since you still don't retain items you've purchased.. The situation now is basically just stash your points and keep them disabled so when its fixed you can buy all the items you've earned.  Kind of like how the economy is now.

I'll let you know this:  Prior game I had enough to purchase the +800 HP/+5 HP a tick trinket with 750 Favor.  This last game I join in and see that not only do I have no Favor items, but I now have -450 Favor.

That's right, the negative Favor bug is still there,...or, atleast it's back if it left, but now it's worse.  I'm a sad panda.

Haha, every time this bug seems to go away, the next "fix" brings it back. For the last few days I've had 1350 Favor points in every game I joined, able to buy an item (which wouldn't save, obviously). Now I'm back to 0 all the time.

For me I can use the "keep rebuying the items" workaround in Pantheon, however, in Custom games when I Host a game it still lists my Favor as 0 every time and it's impossible to buy any Favor items. 

Although it does show me as having Favor points and I can use the "keep rebuying the items" thing if I Host a Custom game with all AI players.

In any case, Favor points still need way more relief because I don't feel like having to playing 2vs2 in Pantheon with a random stranger, or in Custom games with all AI players, as the only options to be able to use Favor items with; which is currently now the case. 

EDIT: I just tried realized the "keep rebuying the items" thing sometimes works for me in Custom games I join that are Hosted by other people.

The keep rebuying items thing doesn't work because the game takes your points for buying the item, and then next game you don't have the item AND YOU LOST THE POINTS WOOT!!!!
