Yes, that time of 6d 0h.
Wait, did you say it wasn’t ticking down?
Well it didn’t look like it but I’ll check later - the rounding might’ve masked it.
I am not sure how the Mayor has anything to do with this.
Non-GC members (whether mayor or not) see smoke on a beacon when there should be none because the beacon has fuel for a set amount of time. That display needs to be fixed.
GC members (on all ALTs with perms) (Whether mayor or not) see a listing of the time but can still add fuel to the beacon even though they get a warning. When this is done the Non-GC member sees a flame again.
Havok and I also earlier reported that people with different GC memberships will see DIFFERENT times on beacons that they have shared access on no matter who owns it.
We need to get a consistent display here so that there is no confusion. I have no trust that GC actually works at this point.
I cannot add screenshots because the forum won’t take them again. Please go to the other thread for my screens.

Just so I have the correct screenshots, is it these ones that you had posted in the issues forum topic (the one with over 700 posts)?

Yeah that is the example of what we saw. Thank you.

I can confirm that when an alt sees the reduced value (without the GC factored in) that once it goes to zero, it then changes to show the correct GC value. The beacon with GC does not expire unexpectedly! (I was also a bit nervous!)

@philelliott, thanks very much for confirming this.
@Xaldafax, hopefully the above will give you reassurance, but I can pass on your comments to @james and other members of the team if you like.

@vdragon Yeah I will have to watch things and just see what happens in 3-4 weeks after the fuel I put in runs out. I do know that the patch that came in yesterday seemed like it fixed some of the issues. I’ll followup if I see any more weird stuff. :). Thank you!
You all should probably test, though, what happens when a new person has a beacon running with fuel and then buys GC to see if that timer bug shows itself or not. While it still might fix itself afterward with no issues, the bug of showing smoke could cause a lot of noise and problem reports for you all.

Strange that I have paid my gleam club membership once when first joined game at release then last week I paid it again but when I looked down my beacon list at all my beacons the earliest beacons I placed on other world’s says I have only a week left but my home beacon and recent beacons here on lamblis are saying the true time I have left.why is it that even though I paid the gleam club last week it’s not including my very first beacons I placed when I first played this game? I’m not impressed because now I will need to visit those planet’s this week to go check them in person which I shouldn’t need to do.The whole point of gleam club is to protect my beacon fuel,I’m on ps4 and luckily I noticed this whilst scrolling through my beacons list.Ive built stuff in other world’s that I will go back to finish but at the moment I’ve been concentrating on my home beacon place which is big.Is this just a glitch? Or does gleam club only protect some beacons.I have at least ten beacons.If anyone has an answer please write it I’d appreciate your feedback.
It says I only have a week left on my earlier beacons in red warning,me but yet my home beacon is covered by my gleam club and shows up plus a few more but it’s showing it’s not covered my other Beacons? I only paid gleam club again last week surely it’s meant to protect all our Beacons? Or have I not read the small print?
This should be fixed in the next update.

Yes it happened to me too. I have alot of beacons that clicked down to a few days even if i have 27 weeks. So far it got resolved by visiting each beacon 1 by 1…but for some reason it goes back to a few days if you check it through the beacon List from the Places Menu so you have to revisit it again. I stopped opening the Beacons List Option because of it

this problem and broken warps conduits not repair last 3 weeks i think first time must balanced game nerfed all fun then can repair main parts in games.
So if you have Gleam Club membership is there any benefit to adding higher quality fuel (or any fuel for that matter) into your beacons?
With the membership you won’t run out and if your membership expires you get a week for free anyway?
Not that I can see, except hitting an objective about better beacon fuel.
Hi James when is the next update? I’ve got 6 days warning on most of my beacons but 3 so if that runs out because of the bug then my temple will decay n someone could come along and hack it all down.im worried because tonight I went and visited my temple in bitula I clicked on the beacon because it says only 6 days left n few days so I changed to green writing n said 4 weeks and so many days left which is correct time left as I’m gleam member and it should be covered as only paid my membership last week again for another 30 days.so after I had seen it change back to 4 weeks correct time left it went straight back to reading 6 days,so this means that clicking my beacons that are buggy and reading 6days left wrong time means that it’s not going to work just clicking the beacons as I tested this tonight BECAYSE I read that it sorts the bug out.Not for me,so I have about ten beacons that say 6 days left warning exclamation mark next to it on my beacons list,and only 3 beacons reading the correct time.Hope the next update is going to be done before the 6 days ends or what am I gonna do?I have taken photos on my ps4 tonight to show what it reads.

This is photo of when I looked at my beacons list tonight before I went to bitula to click on my beacon.As you can see about 3 or 4 beacons are fine and read I’m covered by my gleam membership club but the other beacons are not covered only for 6 days.
When I clicked beacon it reads this but after I come off it and go to my beacons list it shows 6 days again?
This is after I went to bitula and pressed on my beacon first showed 6 days then I pressed npbeacon it showed 4 weeks but after I’d gone off beacon it shows back to the previous 6 days 10 hours,so you can clearly see me going pressing my beacon dosent keep it on the true timer.Im gleam club thought I’d post these photos to prove this problem.
In my experience when these count down to zero they will then finally show the correct Gleam Club time remaining in the Places menu. They always seem to look okay on the beacon.
