It was very easy to tell it was deliberately done, perhaps the skeletons and the pumpkins could go on the front screen to help those that are only logging in after a while and not picking up on the date. Well executed, funny, thank you, and shows the caring side of the team. Please make sure you get them with the Reindeer, Tie Fighters on April fools and other such occasional nonsense. Reveal hidden contents The deck crew on the Super carrier were out of this world, well done! Just NOT 4 days after a major update that has the vast majority of players still troubleshooting framerates and and other graphics issues. There was a lot of wasted time trying to fix a green sky post mission last night.

Pikey Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Your points were already made. I've also added a constructive way to alert people there is something afoot. This stuff is NOT new. 1 ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA_Recon Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It’s a for profit product with professionals building it with cost associated with it more than most any game out there - $60-80 modules etc .. enough said - good luck - it is important to allow customers to voice reasonable feedback so glad on this medium I was able to do this for myself and my squad mates without being muted. I’ll explain to them today that it was a hoax and not a bug in 2.8. Glad we can disable it - didn’t know about this feature until this morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcrusty Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I haven't noticed a damn thing, green or otherwise! Benefits of flying drunk? I am sober this morning (I think)... will check it out again. Were the devs sober?... hmmm.

Hoirtel Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) I feel like I missed out. No green sky, no skeletons. Is there a trick (or treat) to getting it to display?

boerdi Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) I for one LOVE all the doomy and gloomy stuff added for Halloween! Big Warhammer vibes (Morrslieb!). Together with the new clouds everything presented itself to put together a quick atmospheric scene. But I also understand those who got caught unaware and started troubleshooting unnecessarily. Maybe add an option front and center when the game launches that gives the players the option to OPT IN for easter egg stuff instead of having to OPT OUT via editing config files. Happy Halloween!

Hinkey Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Gotta vote no on this one guys. The time I had to fly tonight, I spent in the forums troubleshooting. If ED feels compelled to keep doing this then put a “spooky - opt in” button on the splash screen. But saying “We’ve provided you a method to opt out… after you quit, search the forums, then manually edit a .cfg file” doesn't really track.
