Interesting. As you can see from the listed timers thread, almost no meteors even start out with that much time anymore
I can honestly say that hasnāt been my experience.
I could be mistaken on the 1:30 timer specificallyā¦ but Iāll do some runs tonight after work to see if i can get some screenshots. Iām fairly certain there have been multiple meteors that had a minute remaining by the time i caught up to them.
There were some yesterday, but todayā¦not so much. I donāt know how often they resetā¦or if they do. From what people are saying, the timers are adjusting with each completed meteor
I feel like you must have not played since tuesday.

Iām confused thenā¦
So it looks like everyone was seeing 3 minutes or more on timers up until a downtime bug fix 3 days ago?
I didnāt run any yesterday, but Wednesday for sure i did a ton of gleambow hunting and didnāt notice a difference in timers.
Iām gonna check this for sure tonightā¦

Yes. the 3 to 11(!) minute timers that were appearing after the weekend were stopped on tuesday and basically everything was set to under 1:30 again. They quickly got worked down to the point that many busy planets were getting timers under 30, and even under 20 seconds apparently.
Not precise numbers but yeah. As of last night I donāt think any planet was spawning over 1 minute timers, though people are looking at ways to push them back up.
In fairness @OnlyOneShinobi may have started his day looking for gleambows when the timers reset themselvesā¦ because this morning Biitula was about 1min ish and now its like ummm no thanks I will gather oortstone from the dormantsā¦
I have begun to feel like by continuing to try Iām endorsing this as a āfunā challenge.
Itās not. Itās so far three days of frustration and increasing irritation, to the point where Iām angry about it. I went out, i want the loot. But now Iām just mad after this brieef session Iām closing boundless for a couple of hours.
Hit a planet with 38 sec timers and fail mid gleam-meteor. Chase three more out of about 5 that spawned and fail each time
I got timers at 54 seconds now but theyāre spawning further away and behind me.
Finally another gleam one falls and imagine how happy I am to get there with barely one second on the timerā¦
After seeming to respond and lightening up on the timers early in the event this turnaround is no good.
TBH even if they jack them up again and the event still ends in a couple days Iām honestly going to remember this period of frustration as the primary memory of this event. Iāve literally gotten adrenaline fueled and now itās turned sour so Iām adrenaline mad over something stupid.
Sure, my attitude is my problem but Iām not saying I feel justified or happy about it. Iām upset over the whole situation. Kudos to those that enjoy this sort of challenge Iām either going to have to sort out how I can ignore this event going on around me or just find something else to do for the next few days. Iām tired of the rollercoaster.

Ok yeaā¦ Iām definitely seeing reduced timers. Nothing over 45s now. So the last 1min + timer must have been before the update.
But! iām still getting there with 30s to spare. And it feels like many more are spawning now than before.

pending on the land area 30s is doable but there is some planets that you are really cutting it short by the time you get to the meteor. basically its a higher fail rateā¦ especially when you have to run a fair distance and have obstacles in the way
I think youāre able to āruinā a planet as @Apt and I did a bunch in Kol Huroo and pushed the timer to 10 seconds (maybe even less).
It landed then I got to it, what felt like a few seconds later and it was on 2 seconds.
I like the timers being short (mainly on high tier planets for more hardcore players) but perhaps have a cap on how short it can be? Like 20 seconds, 30 may be too long and become very easy

I dunnoā¦I got to where I was letting the lower level players have the Gleambows that I got to 1st on Merikaā¦they were way behind and couldnāt keep up at all.
Sure itās fine for us that are experienced, some of us have level 3 grapple guild buffs, max grapples, brews, etcā¦alot of them have none of that - including the needed skill points

I donāt know if those are falling right near you or what the situation is.
I mean, congratulations though. After the last couple days I feel Iām watching someone show off their 259 color gleam collection while I get hit with another mudball, lol.
Iāve been cooking all afternoon instead.
Yeh I agree but I think the difficulty should scale with planet tiers. Tier 3, easy for people who donāt have good gear. But tier 6+7 hardcore and have the rewards reflect that

That would be nice. On day one, thatās exactly what I did. I went to Norky and Houchus before I went anywhere else. I was surprised to see that people were getting the same 1.30 second timers on T3s. I thought that seemed a little short for them. Now it seems a little bit like a mess everywhere lol

Just makes it EXTREMELY unfair where player A enjoys the 1m plus timers then player B comes home from a hard day of work and wants to just relax and sees timers from 24s-30s ishā¦ Itās like this even is punishing players come play later on in the dayā¦ These timers should be set to a fixed amount per tier.

So far none of my friends nor I have been able to catch a single one. Weāre all fairly new though (around level 35). Weāre chased around a dozen, but sadly no game yet
