 New Year planet oddity
Is anyone else having their planet effects like this ?
NSX Crate: Amethyst : Research +1% (1 week, 2 days left) Litheor Crystal Focus : Production +10% (8 hours, 58 mins left) Dark Null Beacon Effect : Defense +10% (12 months left) Barrier HyperNexus Effect : Defense +30% (12 months left) Meta-Tuned Jammer Effect : Cloak +25% (12 months left) Barrier HyperNexus Effect : Defense +30% (12 months left) Tejiar Ally HQ Effect : Cloak +5% (12 months left) Galactic Concord Station II Effect : Defense +20% (12 months left) Toxic Processing Plant Effect : Attack +30% (12 months left) NSX Crate: Diamond Effect : Defense +10% (12 months left) Archotage Transmitter Effect : Population +40% (12 months left) Ergosphere Filter Effect : Cloak +20% (12 months left) Polaron Emitter Effect : Cloak +15% (12 months left) Perpetual HyperTurbine V Effect : Artifact +5% (12 months left)
The first 2 are normally expressed that way but I never saw a Dark Null beacon as a temporay effect.

 Re: New Year planet oddity
Effects will sometimes steal the duration of other effects, but it's just a superficial issue - they're still permanent. This bug has been around for a long long time and I'm quite surprised you weren't aware of it.

 Re: New Year planet oddity
It is also showing up on your ship's Effects.
I posted at the same time and now read the "Guide" post above.
The question is what Effect did it steal fmorom to say "12 months left" on both our ship's Effects and our planets Effects tabs?

If anything more than 1 year wasn't displayed, then it would make sense for them to start showing as the new year ticked by.

 Re: New Year planet oddity
Actually normal artifacts and traps on my ship work just fine but even my ally and ship modules permanent bonuses now have a duration.
Auto-Evasion Node Effect : Defense_adaptation +3% (12 months left) Sirakar Plating Effect : Npcdefense +3% (2 Active) (12 months left) Trinity-Core Drive Effect : Defense_adaptation +8% (2 Active) (12 months left) Protean Arsenal Effect : Raid +9% (3 Active) (12 months left) Cuniculus V, Lepus Adjutant Effect : Defense +13% (12 months left)
Etc etc.

 Re: New Year planet oddity
don't worry. Dan is just predicting the end of the world.

 Re: New Year planet oddity
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to what gets a timer and what does not as seen on this planet: T5 Field Analysis : Production +1% Aerlen Patronage (Max) : Production +6% (12 months left) Crimson Intelligence : Attack +25% Diversionary Tactics : Defense +35% (12 months left) Chuhn Trading Forum : Production +5% Small Moon : Space +10% Essense of the Arbilon : Production +7% NSX Crate: Amethyst : Research +1% (1 month, 2 weeks left) Attack is permanent but not defense ? LOL

 Re: New Year planet oddity
Yeah, we first noticed it on our base. Do you think it means Dan is killing the game in one year?

Personally, im pretty certain it means nothing except somethings broke. the effects aren't permanent sounds like the answer. We already know that blockades show up as -60% with no timer, but leave them long enough and they end up going into countdown. 1/1/20 seems an arbitrary long time in the future date that could have been set when the effects on countdown were introduced.

 Re: New Year planet oddity
Counted down to 11 months 3 weeks.
I am becoming concerned.

 Re: New Year planet oddity
This is making it very difficult to see if someone has buffs or not on your Battle Tab.
I hope this is fixed soon as right now it is looking like a Galaxy Legion "countdown" to the game being closed.

Me too, especially since in my last couple complaints about things not being fixed, I said something to the effect of, "If you're burned out on GL, please give us the courtesy of a definite end date, rather than just letting the game fall apart"

Has anyone sent a ticket about this issue? If so, was there any reply?

 Re: New Year planet oddity
I asked directly and have not received a reply. It sure reminded me of what I saw in another game, Treasure Madness, a year before it ended.
The other night, another leader noticed one of her ship Effects had been fixed, so we thought maybe Dan was fixing all of them but they're the same, and the fixed one has gone back to the countdown, at least on my ship.

Well, I guess it is, it is. Just play or quit at this point.
