Hey,

 

This is going to be a bit tricky to explain but i'll try my best.

 

Turns out during the server outage you lost any challenges that were uncompleted.

 

We are unable to change dates of challenges that had progression towards them, so we cannot just "extend" this previous weekends challenge to make up for it.

 

This also means that Varrics book is gone too.

 

OH NO! What will we do?!

 

Have no fear, here's whats going down.

 

This weekend, you will get a new weekend challenge, you will also get the match points challenge again. (if you completed it, cool, you can do it again for more prestige and loot.)

 

Varrics agent of the Inqusition challenge will return. (if you completed the 4th star before it disappeared no problem, you'll get it again.)

 

The NEW Weekend challenge will award 4 points towards Varrics book.

The Match Points re-run will award 1 point towards Varrics book.

The Weekend Challenge running on the  21st will give 1 point to Varrics book, AS WELL AS, 1 point to the new book that starts that week too.

 

Sorry for this, but we hope this provides everyone with a chance to complete this weekends challenge AND their Agents of the Inqusition.  (if you missed a week, you're welcome ;) )

 

Thanks,
Blair

That sounds like it was an incredible headache to figure out and then resolve.

 

Glad you're making things right for folks, though.

Did anyone get the fourth star? I know some of us earned the fourth star but did not get it. I'm not sure if that's what you mean here.

 

Thanks for the update. I wasn't worried; I knew you'd take care of us whatever the problem was.

I got the 4th star, but that was because I completed the personal challenge on Saturday. Anyone who did not complete it before the server outage on Sunday was screwed otherwise.

I also got the 4th star (finished on Friday before things went awry).

 

And thanks Blair for making the best of buggy situation!

Does this mean our four stars will be back up against once the challenge is added back? Or will we have to do the special four stars in one challenge to get them back?

 

I got the 4th star, but that was because I completed the personal challenge on Saturday.

 

Same here, got the 4th on Saturday.

cold comfort for this really buggy peace of software. I'm a big bioware fan, but I'm really frustrated with your DAI MP. So many bug so many errors which prevent me from playing the multiplayer.

 

And now? That! Tried four of the varric books challenges with absolutly needless challanges and their more needless chests

So, I've got to admit some confusion. It seems, from the way the OP is worded, if we finished the fourth star, we'll have our original progress back? Or will we have to complete the new weekend challenge to get our four stars?

Also, for the challenge on the weekend of the 21st, we can get two stars towards the new book, or one to the old and one to the new?

I'm probably over analyzing or just reading this wrong (which is possible as I'm on my phone).

Yes, you'll have to complete new weekend challenge to get the four stars.  The challenge on the 21st will complete Varric's first book and grant the fifth star and will also grant one star to a new book. 

 

At least . . . I think I've got that right. :huh:

So if you got the fourth star before the outage, you will still have four stars and you can do any of the above challenges to get your fifth.

 

But if you didn't, you'll have zero stars and must do next week's new challenge (worth four stars) and either the re-run (match points) or the challenge on the 21st to earn your fifth.

 

This also means if you've done nothing toward the book, you can finish it this weekend.

 

Do I have all that right?

 

Will people with zero stars get a commendation chest for each star again as they re-earn them? We were getting two chests each week, one for doing the challenge and another for getting a star in the book.

Yup I failed at explaining this.

 

Consider that Varrics book and everything you did towards it is gone. (cept the chests, you got them and keep them). Doesnt matter how many stars you had.

 

On Friday it'll come back, and award a chest for star 4, and 5.

 

On Friday the NEW weekend challenge will award 4 points.

 

On Friday the re-run Match points challenge will award 1 point.

 

The week after (Aug 21) there will be a new weekend challenge, as well as a new book.  We are making THAT weekend challenge apply 1 point to the new book AS WELL AS, Varrics book in case you are unable to get both the new challenge and the re-run challenge completed.

Thanks!

 

Just don't make the 4-star one four times as difficult, kthx. ;)

 

I look forward to seeing what your challenge writer comes up with. Damnable time magic!

You still only need to reach 5 stars to get teh l00tz.

 

But if you can't do the match points re-run this weekend, you get another chance at a fifth star the weekend of the 21st.

Thanks for the clarification! And for the record, I agree with Theghostof_timmy, guaranteed Hakkon weapon in one (or both) of the reward chests!

As one who missed the last two weekend challenges - THANKS!!!  I've been a bad DAMP-er, but now I have a chance at redemption!  I won't let you down, BioWare.

 

Well, I might, but since I'm the real loser if I do, don't expect an apology.   :D

It's amazing how I can manage my expectations for this game by setting them really low, and somehow new mythical bugs and glitches occur that can make me lower my expectations even more. Since the whole dropping patch support and rampant xp glitch fiasco (paired with ever present long term bugs and stability issues), I limited my play to just completing weekend challenges. However I can't really expect those to work right half time either.

Would a stable dedicated server have prevented this? Is that never going to happen due to cost? I'm guessing yes on both counts, even though BW will "continue to support DAI much further than ME3." I appreciate the convoluted and complex solution, but will we ever see a fix to the root long term issues?
