Endless Winterfest
Invited to a T1 Winterfest.
Had no timer. Dunno how, but it did.
That`s not a wonderful feature but a bug which goes to a nice exploit that should be fixed until now.

And it takes more time to fix this kind of glitch...
The problem is the core of the game is designed in a certain way that it is in a continuous loop, like you are on any depth that has an entrance and exit. But this kind of depth does not, so if you can get rid of the timer (or the quest for that matter) you can simply return to the core of the game and keep farming the spot since you are on endless depth.
There are 2 possible fix. A code fix which would prevent the said "loop" or a simple fix like taking out the pile of gifts.
Also if you wanted the bug to be fixed sooner, you had to show it to the devs before or at least help them...
On a second note: If you had found the glitch yourself 1 week ago what would you have done? Tell everyone to fix it or keep it for yourself and farm yourself a set of scarf?
I think they saw what happened with Halloween so the people who found the glitch probably kept them for themselves
I`m sure they could find a fix in 3 days since this bug was reported on forums, maybe it was reported earlier in-game.
But now i see everyone playing this bugged mission, nobody wants to play the timed one anymore. And ofc you`ll have to exploit it also if you don`t have players to play normal mission with. Guess i don`t have to feel bad about doing it since there`s no way to farm tokens as usual.

I've been watching this unfold and it's only the end of the 2nd day. And anyway the promotion is ending in 5 days?
So why even bother putting effort in...
And you have no one that can invite you? I'm sure someone can invite you if "everybody" is doing it. But I doubt that's really the case... And if "all" your friend is doing this bugged mission then they obviously know someone who can (or they) bug the game and invite you in? They are in your friend list no?
Also... Come up with a solution, I have... Got a better one? Then say it here

Doesn't help anybody
I think they should simply remove either the gifts or the tree after the time ends... Easy fix (kinda like they did for Green Slime Arena)

If you do encounter this bug again, please file a bug report by pressing F2 on your keyboard (or by entering "/bug " in the chat). Please do not exploit the bug.

Atalanta is ever so polite. ;)
I'd just like to be absolutely clear and avoid misunderstandings: Do not exploit bugs of this or any other sort, just report them. Taking advantage of bugs in this way is a violation of the rules which we take quite seriously and it can not only result in your ill-gotten gains being taken away, but also in a suspension or even ban of your account, depending on the severity and nature of the exploit.
The idea was i don`t have anybody to play timed mission with. I know how to get the no timer mission but i don`t think i need to report the same thing as others already reported. I`m using an elevator pass, u know, so i can`t take any advantage by farming endless mission because it won`t take mist or ce for me to play 100 normal missions instead of 1 endless. So when i ask someone " dude wanna come for winterfest " they as back " is it endless? if not, no ". So tell me how i should farm tokens, alone? No thanks. I dunno how they can fix it, i`m not a developer or whatever. Maybe making limited presents, like 4 red for every minute ( 1 for each player ) and 2 greens for every player in base + 2 for every player mid, and taking in cosideration that chroma can steal them, maybe + 1 for each player.
I`m not very glad that this exploit was discovered, ppl without a pass can get tokens without spending mist or ce which is not very good for the market.

Also, sometimes, the 3-sec count in the beginning repeats itself, making me say WTF outloud. :D
Myeah. Actually since yesterday i think it happened each time i played the mission ( T3, dunno for other tiers ). :D
