Looks Like No Sortie For The August Update. |

Looks like no Sortie for the august update.
It is in the August update, just not enabled initially until it's bug fixed. Hopefully it'll be toggled on within a week or so.
Turn it on a week after the update, and miss the chance to talk it up next update like they never said august?

Quote: Our current plan is to implement Sortie as scheduled for the August 10 version update but temporarily remove the NPC curating the content to prevent players from accessing it. As soon as the bugs have been properly addressed, we will perform an emergency maintenance to restore the NPC in question. Fear mongering is fun OP.... A bug in their code? Oh look, the sky is blue.
Uh oh! Spaghetti code.

Sucks but it happens. I sent emails like that once or twice a year for delayed releases.
So long as they update the version with the new gear, I'm not heartbroken if they want to fix it before they release the content
Guess they need some time to sortie out
Well, I'd rather they fixed it than to throw it out there and give everyone a bad impression. There are players who returned for the free-to-play campaign who would be looking at this content to see if it's worth re-subscribing, and the last thing they want is to turn off those players.

Be happy we get access to the large beta testing team at all, many games of this ones age get beta tested by the players.

They should increase free to play by as many days as it takes them to fix it!

stuff like this should not be launched during free access anyway, people with 500 alts will spam it and sell anything of value at inflated price for RMT

They shouldnt do any free access campaign at all. All it does is adding more mules and bots. Also the rate this is happening is unfair to the payers. We dont get a free month.
Or make it maybe once a year. There aren't many new poeple playing this game. Offline

As a business, they absolutely will do everything to get people to stay subbed and raise metrics. Nothing would look better than 150,000 people doing Sortie. And that's all that matters. But they can't even do that right. You could literally complete all the new story and most end game content if you just played each return free period... dumb honestly, they do it too much imo.
Starbucks said: » They should increase free to play by as many days as it takes them to fix it! The strange thing is that their site where you can buy accounts or move servers. That discount starts and ends right at the time listed afaik. Free play: It's whatever. Give them money for server moving or buying an account: FIRM DEADLINES! Big brain there. Trying to think if I want to even bother getting any of my mules through the past to get them the six Shadowreign Era trusts since that campaign is going right now.

I must be going off the initial ones they did where the campaign was only like once every 9 months or so.
Or I'm just old and getting brain rot. My mom just sent me that picture today. Sorry if it breaks anyone's soul. It just breaks my internet... just a broken image....

what they need to do is enable the paid storage during free play. who coming back to "try" and play again when half they gear locked behind a $4 paywall lol. not exactly free.
I'm not trying to change jobs too much when I come back. I am just here to finish TVR. Thank God for Project Tako because I am also not trying to run around these adoulin zones.
kiss your account goodbye!
After like a decade.. absolutely no concerns.
Have to be here until the servers shut down
