Your karma stalls when your patron runs out or at the end of an event, when you buy a new pp or start a new event it starts again.

We're told it doesn't reset to zero but with no meter who knows?

Last night did several runs. It popped on 1st. Then, went 5 or 6 without and then it popped twice in a row. The last 2 of the night, wasn't there again.

It is what it is...

Over the past two days, we have been carefully investigating a possible issue with players who are not patron getting the purchase complete popup after a major arkfall event. It was believed that this behavior would occur, after we made some subtle changes to how jackpots, both normal and karma based, were handed out to the player.

While investigating, we did identify a bug with the karma system for New Frontier Harvest that was giving the karma benefits to non-patrons. As of last night with the nightly restarts, this bug has been fixed, and Karma is back to being an exclusive patron benefit as it was meant to be. We really appreciate all players who brought this to our attention, and we apologize for this bug that was hidden behind how the system should be working now.

In addition to fixing this, we have also removed the popup from non-patron players, so that patrons can know they are getting their Karma roll. However, this does not change the fact that a normal jackpot and a Karma jackpot will now drop the same way (without replacing your major event reward weapon or mod).

While this bug did end up benefiting non-patron players, we do understand that this is an exclusive patron only reward, and patron players should be the only ones receiving this benefit. As such, we will be rewarding any player who was a patron, or became a patron since we unlocked the servers on Monday till we fixed the issue last night, a 6 day additional patron pass. This will add on to any current patron time that you have. I will keep everyone informed of when this grant will take place, but it will be soon.

Thank you for your understanding, and I apologize for the initial confusion on my part regarding whether this issue was indeed a bug. We always strive to be as visible and clear about these issues as possible, especially regarding the Karma system.

My patron ran out today on xbx, it would've been nice if the patron just tagged on the end of the last one.

Edited to say xbx.

Destro, now that every jackpot shall be received with a 15 second delay karma or no, are we also going to get a fix on the network crits that happen right after an arkfall? I'm looking forward to an answer on that since they're continuing as of today. If the system fails to register a jackpot in those seconds before a crit happens, I see a lot more people getting screwed than just patron pass holders.

And don't say it'll go to claims because if the system didn't register it, there'd be nothing to go to claims in the first place and no support would be available from staff.

Would still like an answer, from anyone at this point, IDC.

erm..okay?
common sense = logic = if you crit before the system gets it,then nothing will ever be registered.
the end.

you guys will have to keep trying to get the devs to actually Fix the servers/game.
which makes me wonder,you all do realize this is an Addiction for you right?
take a few mins and look back at how much they have actually fixed,and how much they have actually broken.
and yet every month they trot out the newest flavour weapon shield whatever,and you guys keep buying them!

if theres no new content,and its just rehashed stuff every month,
and the constant crits,the lack of help from cs,and the devs ignoring the valid complaints,
then why are you guys still playing a game that isnt Fun?

i mean really just for example.
have they ever fixed people Spawning Vehicles at events?
something that would be Easy enough to implement?
and that alone ruins more peoples Fun factor than anything else at events.
well,besides being Critted ;).

at any rate,next livestream,
just Flood them with the same questions from as many people as you can get to work together.
they cant ignore them forever if theres no other questions.

Gl,if they ever do fix it,we might come back.

We tried that... They go off on unrelated tangents and other stuff and then cut the stream short...
