Attention Chain managers

WTF?? And I mean it!! I know this is n't your fault, but I just uploaded again after last night's WHOOPING 137 mill gross exp's that I made in 8 hours of play, and it shows me as FAILED.

This is TOTALLY unacceptable. And trust me. I've made quota. I make about 2-300 million gross exp's a week, give or take. I really need to know whats going on.

If you say, dont' worry about it.....fine. Iwon't. I'll upload again. but there's no possible way I could have failed quota. no matter the 21 day thingy. Fix this please.

Have you tried re-installing ACStats recently? I don't see it showing up as failed, I show you as:

Thorgrim 165 Success 100.64 % 1 467,498 72,637,883 101,779,659 2003-05-05 2003-05-06 [ 21:22

that 1 means that you are 1 day into your quota period. Other than that, I dunno.

I'm gonna put this on the manager board to get Ranger's attention.

The problem is not reinstalling AC stats, as you can see his xp is showing. My guess is that the xp he earned has somehow disspeared with this Shadowclaim messing things up. I can tell you that i will vouch for all of the xp that Thorgrim has earned. He is a maniac for xp, sometimes losing sleep to earn a little more. I know this because i would fight at night and in the morning he would still be on and play the rest of the day. Though he is allready passing again, he needs to be given a reprieve, or some reparations for what he has done for this chain. He is very valuable and it would be a terrible loss if he left.

Dave, I dont' mean to sound like a broken record, but it doesn't make sense to me, even if I'm in my first day of hte cycle. I made literally 137+ million exp's yesterday (GROSS) and I played last thursday night I believe, where I made about 97+ million, and early in the week........lets say monday, and probably tuesday (cause I know how my schedual is)

So I made roughly over 350 million just last week. Is it because I play so much at once that it screws up? I'm literally BEAT here. I go without sleep to play ac, and I've been at it since level 44, so I know how many exp's to make to keep me above quota.

I haven' t changed the way I play, and I didn't get any UNREAL amounts of exp's this past week end to cause me to fail quota. Something has to be wrong. A meisly 100%???? If this is the case, and I'm only in the 6 mill pass up chain..........there's no way I'll be able to pass with 12 mill pass up. And for that matter, with the amount of exp's I pass up, NOBODY WILL unless they start AFK macroing again.

I'm REALLY tired right now, so I may not be thinking straight here but. If I have to make 500 million Gross exp's every week to make quota, I'll have to pack up my shield and my axe and leave the chain. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT. ITS CRAZY.

I dont' know if I'm paranoid or what, but ever since I stood up for Starting over, Bazil, and Gimped mage about their re entrance at the bottom, my quota has been pretty screwey. I went from being at 118% give or take, to being around 103% in about a day.

Check this out.

I'm at #5 spot here for most exp's per day. And I'm almost failing quota? That doesnt' make sense guys. I'm sorry. But something IS wrong.

I see guys on our foodchain board at 110+% and they aren't above me on that list guys. I cannot tell you how STRANGE this looks. There's no way I can only be at 100%.

Well, regarding the "Lifetime XP per day" Statistic. All it means is that you've been in a chain longer than the rest of us.

Regarding everything else, I'm bringing this to Ranger's attention and he will handle it. I can tell you with 100% absolute certainty that it has nothing to do with your stance on the Gimped/Bazil/SO issue.

Stay tuned, and thank you for your patience.

Yup, soemthing is wrong Thorgrim is an xp machine (like I use to be,haha).

Maybe your right about the rank thingy on acstats Dave, I really can't express how I love tomake exp's to see a good number on the pass mark. My exp's are definately going somewhere.

You use to be able to make your quota for the next 3 weeks in a row just by playing one day. With the way its going, it seems impossible. I may take it more seriously than most, who knows.

Thanks for your quick response, and I await a resolution to this. I can't be playing for 130 million everday. I'll be devorced, and dead in no time.

Ok, I spoke to Ranger.

He says you had a patron rollover 2 days ago, and that you will have a vassal rollover within the next 2 days or less.

He also calculated that your lifetime pass-up percentage is at an impressive 116%.

Whatever the problems are, be assured that you will not be removed simply because the status page says Failed instead of Passed. We take all factors into account, including your history. You do not need to hunt for 100 million a day, just keep hunting for 25 million a week and you will be meeting quota. There is no difference to us whether you're at 100.01% or 199.99%, passing is passing.

We'll keep our eye on the tracking system for a while, but keep in mind, most of the issues coming up these days are from people playing Shadowclaim and because of the transition to the new chain.

Next two days for 4.2 bil vassal rollover...

oops, i can't read.

let me edit that out real quick

Thorgrim · Post by **Thorgrim** » Thu May 08, 2003 1:51 am

Thanks guys.

Like I said, I'm a bit depraived of sleep.......but thats nothing new really. I guess I'm just use to making quota up in bundles, so I can take a few days off at a time. As you can see, it stresses me out cause I do take it seriously. For a little while in my 70's I went on a few weeks of "FAILED QUOTA" due to work, and RL issues.

A chain manager at the time.......(He's dead and gone now) posted orders to boot me out. So I sort of vowed never to fail again. So I'm at 116% pass up over all? You guys should post something on the boards about overall pass rates. An awards show?? hehe.

I'd just be curious to see who makes the most exp's. I know its not me, ANCA seems to push the limits pretty damn good, and So do a lot of other people.

Thanks to Coji for sticking up for his patron

But I do play a lot. Ask Raging Fists just how big the bags under my eyes are. MUAHHAHA

As for the 4.2 mill(bill?) before rollback.........that means I've passed up 4.2 bill to my patron???) sort of speak? Thats kind of impressive I suppose. To all the patrons I've had I mean.

Ok getting tired, and not making much sense. Thanks guys

Thorgrim can sleep a bit better now.
