Is it really unlimited or is the timer simply hidden?

as some people told me, yes you have unlimited time.
but you will quit the mission because: you cant stand the lag (enemies keep spawning and if you kill them vitapods keep gathering around) or grinlinchs Kill impostoclaus (in some cases grinlinchs or Impostoclaus dont appear)

Yes we had Unlimited time it was tier 1 winterfest run we only failed because we failed to save Immpostoclaus.

Well
So much for balancing tiers. Also, that person that didn't want to tell about the bug... :3
Thanks for being a good sport :P

What?
@Aumir
It's not that I didn't want to tell about the bug, it's just that I don't have any picture uploading site accounts. Also, I kinda didn't know how to take a picture, which I stated in the chat.

Actually that person who didn't want to tell about the bug if it was for tamer I and other ominous members would have never found that bug.

o.O
How did you actually manage to do this?
Did you report the bug today or has it been a week? and was it a detailed report or just "there is a bug, fix it"?

Umm
You can take images with F12 by default.

My suggestion for the fix
Simply disable the ability to pick gift after the timer has ended. (or take away the pile of gifts)
Simple easy fix are often the best :D

We are aware of the issue as Aphrodite stated. We're also no fun when it comes to exploiting bugs. So please don't risk your tokens, rewards and game access by exploiting this bug or telling others or encouraging others to exploit. The results wouldn't be pretty.
If you encounter a bug, please report it via F2 immediately and if deemed necessary also send in a support request with a detailed description, but by all means don't take advantage of it because we'll be forced to take disciplinary action if we catch you exploiting bugs.

The only thing I'm concerned about is...
Is there enough time to do it?
Also, does this apply for future Winterfests?
Sat, 12/29/2012 - 23:58

way to go another glitch in sk! (not shocking btw...)
soooo let me get this straight....
the gm's are taking disciplinary action on players who abuse the glitch, because the programmers are failing at their job? Not to mention there has been no release of a patch note, and no reports of progress on fixing the glitch.
This isn't even the first time the programmers of this game have managed to allow for exploits. In my opinion, you should probably hire someone more capable of coding a game, and considering the game is sponsored by Sega, you have enough money and resources to find someone who can fix the glitch

There's actually no way to fix the glitch in time, Brettu. It'd require them to actually work! *gasp*
Seriously though, by the time they finish Winterfest will be over and it's against ToS anyway to abuse glitches of any kind. Their fault or not. If you have a problem with it, the door is right there.
As for hiring someone... it doesn't exactly work like "magic".

well...
there is a simple solution to"fix" it. Take out winterfest, test the bug thingy (they have another server/somewhere else they can test this i would hope o_o) then bring back winterfest and expand the promo to a later date. Its not a very complicated idea >_>
I just disagree with letting the glitch sit there and then the fact that people use the glitch means your going to ban them while idly letting the glitch sit there.

"the gm's are taking disciplinary action on players who abuse the glitch, because the programmers are failing at their job?"
Just because the cop accidentally left a gun on your interview table doesn't mean you're allowed to shoot the next guy to come through the door. OBVIOUSLY they're going to take disciplinary action against people abusing a glitch.
"Not to mention there has been no release of a patch note, and no reports of progress on fixing the glitch."
Patch notes are for when they actually have a patch ready to patch, and since when has SK ever left a note saying "See this glitch? We gonna fix eet."
" In my opinion, you should probably hire someone more capable of coding a game"
So, you then, considering you think programming a game is all well and easy.
Seriously, if you're so spiteful, why are you even playing the game? This is like people in Combat Arms QQing over a game full of Hackers when they can do either of 1) report them all and/or 2) quit the lobby and move on. "Rage like a whiny 4 year old" isn't in either of those options, yet for some reason people find it more productive to choose that.
EDIT:
"Take out winterfest, test the bug thingy (they have another server/somewhere else they can test this i would hope o_o) then bring back winterfest and expand the promo to a later date."
...How the Frostbite does your logic work? The whole point of Winterfest is that it's a SK CHRISTMAS promotion. What's the point of having it next Easter?
Not to mention the fact people this year will miss out on getting to do anything special for the Christmas holidays entirely.

and...
and if they don't have the original-- well i guess coding dk too much about how it works, but there must be previous setting without winterfest in the game saved somewhere in three rings central and if they dont have that....thennnnnn there is no fixing it, andddddd I got nothing....

if its a "sk christmas promotion" then why have it after christmas >_>

"if its a "sk christmas promotion" then why have it after christmas >_>"
If it's not then why not have it during Halloween? Obviously they're giving players a bit longer do do what they want to and have fun with the patch. Haloween and SK's anniversary both last only a day each; what kind promotion would either of those events be if there was only one day to collect 200 tokens to get your promotional items?
Quit it with the broken logic.
Sun, 12/30/2012 - 01:19

Because my latter question was being ignored...
Will this affect future Winterfests?

People don't read patch notes
People don't read patch notes anyway, so I don't see the point of them releasing notes about bugs that they're gonna fix. If you read the patch notes about the timer fixes, you'll notice that they mentioned that the T1 winterfest has a 6 minute timer. If you don't see a 6 minute timer, warning bells should be going off.
If this bug happens to you, play for your 6 minutes, then quit the level. Be a good sport ^^

I remember reading on the forums a bunch of people were banned for exploiting the "curse immunity" glitch, so believe them when they say they'll dish out perma-bans without mercy.

It's getting a bit annyoing...
I've had a few runs starting a bit late when people joining quit right after seeing that the mission is not t1 or in no timer mode and taking other curious people with them.
I guess unlimited tokens is a bit more desirable then possibility of humbug hats... if only more armor or costumes fitted with it ;_;
Also, how are the GM's gonna detect people abusing the glitch? It seems like something that's a bit hard to track.

Also, how are the GM's gonna detect people abusing the glitch? It seems like something that's a bit hard to track.
And about the payout of T3 over T1... I mean the Humbug Hats are nice but after so many stalker and ce wasted. I have dropped 2 hats and none of them got in my hands since they are like mats/items... *sigh*
"Unlimited" is a bit over excessive. Even if you DO manage to get in a game. Tokens doesn't take themselves... It takes a long-a** time to gather 200 tokens, or even 2000... I'm so bored of that mission, I wouldn't even think of how bored I would've been if it was always unlimited time -_-
I just can't wait for this mission to end... So we can go back and farm vana for cr rather than tokens then AH mania...

I guess that's why they still want people to F2 even though they know about it.
Sun, 12/30/2012 - 15:18
#45
So let me get this straight
As long as no one is F2'ing during their bugged mission... this will never get patched?
Or did I read something wrong...???
Cause I think I did but IDK where... If not then I'm speechless o.O
P.S. Remove the gifts when timer ends... Easy fix...

"P.S. Remove the gifts when timer ends... Easy fix..."
/facepalm
Baka, the point is that there is no timer.
Otherwise, they'd just make the mission end when the timer runs out.
I do so hate it when someone goes "Meh, just fix it. Simple.", especially when said person doesn't even know what they're talking about. It's really, really irritating.
"As long as no one is F2'ing during their bugged mission... this will never get patched?"
You read wrong. The point of F2'ing is to make them aware of the bug by sending a bug report. More people sending it just means more people are encountering it. They only need one report to know it's there.
