Kuhl-Ka Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) This is the second community event with unique items which was seemingly announced without a single email going to my inbox. I didn't see the Facebook blurb about it until I was already in a different state on vacation. Had I known there would be a Vandal and other rewards, I would have taken my laptop on vacation with me. PLEASE start sending out email notifications at least the weekend BEFORE the event is supposed to happen and offer players a way to earn the special rewards (minus the obvious clan statue stuff) beyond noon today. I missed the last event (Fusion Moas) and am still grinding away at Tier 3 void missions trying to get the Frost Prime blueprint (have all of the parts) and Latron Prime Receiver (have the rest) to drop. A single email to my account would have been enough. Instead, it seems like players are expected to check the website, Facebook, and Twitter accounts daily to make sure they don't miss an event like this.

ahmut Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 this event was announced the week before it happened on their video chat with the community, quit complaining about how they dont email you and if you followed everything you would have seen this, check the site more and watch their community chats more.

Exodia-Doomsong Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Always take your laptop where ever you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liavalenth Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) This event was announced in the News and Announcements on 03 July 2013 - 08:00 PM. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/72933-lotus-transmission-received/ Also it was announced on the livestream #9. May have been noted before that as well. Having an option to be emailed about events ahead of time could be nice. But an option is what would be needed, I do not need more spam in my mailbox when I can already learn about events before they start.

Gryphticon Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Should it be a lesson for you to never abandon your laptop like that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcSynder Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Why is it so absurd to ask for an email notification? Not everyone watches every stream and camps the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuhl-Ka Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 "ADVANCE NOTICE" Ha, this is beta. Ha, Mechwarrior Online is in beta and they regularly send out emails (opt-in) to announce just about every major change to the game. Why is it so absurd to ask for an email notification? Not everyone watches every stream and camps the forums. Exactly. I have a day job and am on about 50+ forums, most of which I check maybe once a week. Players shouldn't have to be constantly combing the forums and watching an hour long dev vblog to find out about special events. Ditto for the supposed 'Design Council' which only gets to vote on rather superficial additions to the game and they too get no email notification that a vote is happening, so you're expected to troll that forum just to make use of your $100-250 founder payment... #emailnothard #gamedevfail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
