Personally I wouldn't mind something like this happening every couple months or so. Call it drought, famine, flooding, or a good ol' fashion act of god. I lost herb patches like many others to this bug, but I think a little random events like this could help keep things spiced up. |
Providing there was at least a *little* heads up ;)

I tend to agree with TD (that's twice now! :o) ... this sucks, for some players more than others, but sometimes things suck and you just have to deal with it. It won't be the last time things change in Illy, planned or not. But surprise glitches like this one are fairly infrequent, in my experience.
However, my earlier question "Why not?" was meant to be more substantial and less whiney than it was apparently taken. Sorry if it came across as the latter. I would like to know, if the devs don't mind telling, why they decided not to replace all the depleted patches. Presumably, there are some bugs severe enough that they would be retroactively "fixed" in some manner. Why not in this case? Is is too much work? Does the coding make it near impossible? Is there a worry that the "fix" would generate new unfairnesses? Is the bug viewed as not important enough to bother accounting for? I really am just curious---I'm not trying to be inflammatory. :)

Were the herbs that were partly depleted during this time permanently depleted to a new level or will they respawn to their previous size? From what I've seen it seems that if you depleted a square to 1 herb during this time it won't respawn back up to its previous size.

The herbs/grapes that were not exhausted have regenerated to their former base level.

Possibly the moral of this story is "don't assume, scout first". I always as a precaution scout my closest herb patches - this is how I detected that something was wrong.

Is this glitch back or is it just me?

I'll need to get some petitions with specific examples if you really think there is something wrong. Thanks.

Oh boy I hope not. I still don't have access to the same herbs i used to have when this bug depleted them. And very little resolution from any higher ups other than 'sux to be you'.
I've seen this happen twice already on basic herbs. So I would be wary about this. Sadly to late for me already sent out my harvesters :(

/me puts on engineer hat.
So this is probably some kind of daylight savings time issue, possibly with server synchs across continents.
Return(--hat);
