You can restart chats with HugMastaDoug and Great Aunt Geraldine every 24 hours.
Not every rollover, every 24 hours. I have no ****ing idea when I had my first chats with them, so I’m spending all day trying over and over. That’s eating up CZ bandwidth, and frustrating the **** out of me. I like to plan my playing day. Play one alt until their visits are out, then play another, things like that. Now I’m having to jump back and forth a lot. Yes, I know the multiple times simulates the internet. But this is a game, and this portion of the gameplay is just frustrating. At the very least, give me a counter somewhere, or a “you can talk to xxx again at this time” place. Maybe on the Mission Related tab. |

Yes, please. I feel like I should have made a note somewhere of what time I first talked to them. |

24 hours gap is fine, but this. |

I don’t understand why they’re not tied to rollover. |

It kinda made sense on the beta server, because rollovers came every 2 hours. Live, I guess it’s so things don’t get skipped in the (rare) case of extra/manual rollovers. Dunno, though. I’m (now) agin’ it. |

ET’s reasoning as I understood it was that not everything on the internet happens at a fixed time, so not everything needs to be tied to rollover. |

Oh. Then again this argument is p faulty. If he wanted to emulate real life, he should’ve just made the time period after which its ok to talk to them be random. Not that I want that to happen or anything. My point is, this is not the real internet and, since it is a game, it doesn’t have to emulate it in every way possible. I say tie it to rollover, so as not to frustrate the players (which they clearly are, judging by the sole fact that this thread exists). |

Yeah, it kind of sucks, especially since I normally play in the morning at rollover, but started playing Episode 3 when it launched (in the afternoon). |

My Hacker was able to talk to them again within about 20 hours, so it’s not exactly 24, looks like.
They still won’t talk to my Permanoob though, even though he talked to them at around the same time yesterday. Log in to see images! |

The time is indeed unclear. I talked to Doug about 10 hours ago and got a convo, then tried again a couple of hours ago and got another one. |

I think it’s actually tied to a specific time of day which isn’t rollover since the same happened to me. I think it’s 9pm server time and will test that theory tonight.
So far though I tried early morning then late night and it worked, while going late night to early morning it didn’t reset. |

For some reason these limits started to apply to my cheater character in some places but not others. For instance, I still have to wait a day for Aunt Geraldine, but HugMastaDoug chatted with me 3 times, one right after the other, though his Tubmail with the roses took until today to be sent.

Joseph of Suburbia Posted: I think that’s p. much intentional. In other places, cheaters are not affected by rollover events. For example, you don’t have to wait a day for Ravit to get back to you back near the beginning of Ep1. In this case, it looks like the rollover event of setting the time for HugMasta to talk to you again is excluded. But the ones for Geraldine and for HugMasta’s tubmails are not. |
