Woah, that really is an important bug, and how does that affect your game play exactly?
Don't you think there is more important issues too fix?

You mean we lost favor? I haven't logged on enough to actually check it out these days... my last /favor check was at 810 minutes or so x].

And yep, it was in January. Nearly 6 months of constant favor.

lol, last time I checked it was at 500 or so. Couldn't check today because GW is effing with me, deciding to kick me every 10 minutes. After my seventh log in or so I decided "screw it". Break time from GW.


But yeah, I noticed the lost favor message used to appear twice. And I bet it still does, lol.

Oh look, Stockholm has something witty to contribute, as usual.

As to the OP, I would like to think that after such a long time the dev's would have that fixed, it's been a known bug for a while, but as Stockholm said, albeit as a smart-ass, they have probably had a lot on their plate lately.

it never displayed twice to me ever, except once when I zoned into ToA yesterday, but all the rest of the times yesterday and over the years has never displayed twice. So might be a client thing.

Make favor back to HoH based and everyone wins. If people really want to go in before we have favor, scrolls were placed in the game for a reason.

That's kind of what baffles me...scrolls come out to let you go in without favor and then shortly after we earn 6 months of constant favor. Hmmm. (Just checked and scrolls were released in the May 24, 2007 update ~ so 7/8 months of that before constant favor)

I'm crossing my fingers that Anet just decides to bring back how it was in this next update and let them say how they gave everyone that nice reward for 6 months.

And if they don't fix this, I don't see much wrong with it. I mean it's not like America ever won favor from HoH anyways... :P

The world hasnt lost favor in 6 months so you couldnt of checked it yesterday. What the OP is talking about is the message the world gets when it loses favor completely, not the one that says "Your world currently has the favor of the gods" everytime you enter ToA.

Theres one big flaw in that plan of yours: the servers are no longer seperated meaning the worlds at war concept would be pointless since i can hop from Europe to America now without limits.

What's the point?
It's not like we can't change districts or anything.
Even if they did switch it back to HoH based favor and stopped dist. switching, wouldn't that just be a step backwards?
I know a lot of people from other countries who play in American districts.

Can someone explain to me, how the favor went from 67 minutes to 72 minutes without maxed titles?

Kashrlyyk. Titles such as Protector of Cantha & Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer contribute towards the Favor system, but they don't show up as they are more common.

I don't think OP said that this was the most important issue to fix.
OP means that fixing that bug will probably take a blind monkey only about 5 minutes and predicts that Anet has not even spent those 5 minutes on fixing it.

I think OP is right and the bug isn't fixed yet...

They should seriously work on the big issues but also should start working on some of the 'not so hard to fix' issues or enhancements. You know, tweak drop tables, adjust the non-existent anti-farming code so it is less obvious that it still exists, add a new weapon drop here and there, allow old-school drops to happen again but with lottery winning odds, etc.

To this day I do not understand why Anet doesn't tweak drop tables (or at all!) just to keep things fresh.

BZZZT. Only Protector and Cartographers showing are Legendary Guardian or Legendary Grandmaster Cartographer. They don't extend the time.

If it doesn't show up, it doesn't work.

They could change into a system that check how many times the 'elite' areas in each campaign are beaten (killed the last boss[es]).

It could count 1 point fo each time all of them are beaten (Tombs, Urgoz or Deep, Mallyx and Duncan) and after 60 times, favor is activated for 60 minutes.
Once favor is actived, every separate time a mission is finished or a title is maxed it adds 1 minute to the max.
That should do.

You can only see the titles which have been gotten in the regional districts you are in. Given the names in the picture I'm guessing you were in European districts - people who have gained titles in American D's don't have their announcement shown in European D's, same with Korean, International, etc.

So people still maxed titles, they were just in another regional district.

Example if I'm not clear enough:

Your friend is about to gain a title, but he started from a European district. You're in TOA American. You won't see it from your district, but if you go to TOA European one you willl. =]

Sorry didn't actually check when the weekend was, didn't realize it actually been 6 months. Mostly I brought this up kinda to show how little things do get fixed, and how amazed i would be if it was fixed. Sorta like how the end game area for tyria was not "Unlock" when the update went live. I guess it hurt the craftmenship when little things likes this remains unfixed. Other bugs i have found funny include
When birthday cupcakes started droping after a skill update.
When inner fire didn't work until recently for destoyers.
The 3 updates it took to fix guildhall ferrying

The scrolls solve the entrance to UW and FoW problem without the world having favor. The only thing that will really be affected is the ability to get bonuses at the Rez Shrines since those are dependent on the favor of the gods.

I've already predicted the next Sunspear/Lightbringer Double Weekend to occur the third weekend in August.

So give it a few weeks...

Ya Anet was playing fair for once and gave us back the 30k of favor they owed us when we reached max favor a while ago and glitched the system.

This new favor will run ou soon as well. Just like we lost 10k in a week or so.

Obviously they couldn't be bothered fixing the double announcement bug of "world has ran out of favor" so they just covered it up with this, so nobody can notice ...

What a bunch of cheaters, giving us 30k more favor just so they don't get embarrassed about not fixing the display. Guess this buys them another 6 months to brainstorm on the problem.
