Mods/Admins Absence?

I realize I have been gone most of this week as I was traveling for a job interview. This is probably my lowest activity week since I started playing, but had to prioritize real life unfortunately.
However, this morning I took some time to catch up on the forums and read through every unread discussion since I left off under the recent discussion option. Through doing so, I’ve noticed that the admins seem to be extremely absent and non-responsive this week. @HPWULOLA has commented on a few threads, but not from an admin perspective. Her comments have all been from the perspective of a regular player. No one has responded to any of the issues they were tagged in.
I understand that since this become a more common practice, it may be tough to respond to all of the issues. But I was wondering if anyone else noticed the inactivity and the lack of responsiveness on the forums by the admins. Just curious if something is going on as there are several issues which are labeled with “investigating” or other similar statuses and they seem to have been completely abandoned.
I know there are other priorities and deadlines the devs are working on for other events, but it doesn’t seem like it to would be too hard to address the red dot issue that’s been fixed in the past, the group wizard challenge SOS issue, the return of the bug for the daily tasks, etc. given the duration that these have supposedly been under investigation.
I personally would prefer to see CURRENT issues prioritized a little higher. But maybe that’s just me. Anyone care to chime in?
Comments
They’re most likely either very busy, or gradually weaning us off their responses.
HPWULola mentioned to me that she would be away this week. I suspect that since they worked the event they were due some time off.
We did see one if the other admins pop in with a brief update but I expect Lola will be back shortly with new and exciting events for us.
Yeh i was thinking that @Herm10neG92 there hasnt been the usual comment or two that we had previously- but presumed it was a dip after drogon day & they are busy sorting the upcoming community day perhaps.
But i also have said in another couple of threads about how this week my avatar has been playing up non stop with not moving, having to restart the game at least 3 times per outing. And the portkey rewards have suddenly gone awful for me.
It might be just pure bad luck for me, real life has been an awful week so its maybe the game decided to follow suit! Lol
Interesting that all 3 of us took this last week off 😅
Hi there, I apologize for the absence! A few of us were out last week at a team offsite. We actually strategized ways we can improve the forum, and highlighting bug reports and issue feedback was a big point made - so your feedback is appreciated and spot on! We are testing out a new bug reporting page for the community internally and once it gets approved, it'll be live here! One goal is to be organized and also monitor quantity - ie this # of players have indicated that they are experiencing this bug. It's great feedback for our team.
It was also interesting for me to watch how the community carries on in our absence - I am always pleased when I see a question from a player and it's immediately answered by one of our awesome top posters here! 😀
Welcome back @HPWULOLA !
Welcome back @HPWULOLA and other admins as well!! That sounds amazing, so thanks as always for the hard work!
@HPWULOLA thanks for letting us know that you were gone! Hope you enjoyed the offsite time and it was productive. Sounds exciting! I was gone myself on a trip for a job interview and it seemed like a lower traffic week all around. I think we all probably needed a break after the excitement of dragon day!
Just wondered when we might see some feedback on a few things that were reported, but it’s also stuff like this that’s a great reminder that y’all have other things going on and need breaks too. Thanks again for the update!
Excited for Community Day!
@Herm10neG92 I hope the job interview went well!
And yes, I actually just received information on this today. The issue with the SOS 3 Players assignments and the persistent red dot on ministry ID will be solved in the next release - woohoo! We will have a timeline for that either late this week or early next week :) I'll update you all then!
I'll look into the Daily Tasks issues, this one is more recent so it still is being investigated.
@HPWULOLA it did! They’re still interviewing a few other candidates so I won’t know for a while, but I got really good feedback and it was a great opportunity to work on my interview skills no matter the outcome. Thanks for asking!
Awesome that there are fixes for those two and people are looking into the third issue I mentioned 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Many thanks to you for being so on top of it!
Happy to help! I have started a thread in the Known Issues section about the Daily Task Progression:
Feel free to add to it! It's great to use these pages to show my teammates specific examples of the bug in action.
