Premature POI Regen

HWS Get Support 🆘 Get Help

======= NOTICE FOR HELP =======

What happened: POI Regen and I was within weapons range.
Player(s) with issue: Dawg
Server: NA
Time (cb:time): Write here
Playfield: zion
Structure Name(s): Write here
Structure ID(s): Write here
How can we help you now: Defeated the POI was working on breaking it down for the mats and the thing regenerated ontop of my HV and started blasting me and my cv/SV. Just lost about 6hrs of play…

Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a check so this does not happen? I was not aware that it would reset at 3hr regardless if someone was there.

If you could poke me in Discord when you get time to help with this would be great. Connect is not even showing the small CV that my Awing SV was attacked to. Connect is showing the HV as not deleted but it would be under the POI.

Ok solved.

But @RexXxuS could you answer the POI regeneration question?

to my knowledge, it only doesnt regen if a base is within 200m of the named poi

Not sure what you mean by that. I was within weapons range that is clear as everything got wiped but the HV was still down in the hole that POI spawned in. Issue was there was no warning it was regenerating it just appeared whole again and was my understanding it does not do that if a player is found near it so that what happen to me does not happen. Now I just set a timer and get out of there in less than 3hrs. Still others will learn this the hard way if this is not a bug.

The default POI Regeneration (which is not set to every POI yet) works like this:

  1. Spawn on the world
  2. As soon as a player touches (walk on the POI) the POI the first time the 3 hour counter start ticking
  3. If after 3 hour nobody is near within 300m do a regeneration
  4. If someone is/was near, wait until the next player (not the one who touched it for the first time) comes within 300m to regenerate.

I picked 3 hours cause I thought nobody would ever need 3 hours to finish a regular POI (HWS POIs are not 100% included in HWS 8 yet).

Well I was trying to use the POI for its Sathium and well that took time. I thought it was that way you listed. I was there over 3hr easy I was never more than 300m from it for more than a sec.I was going to get food out of my CV which was just within range and the moment I was out of that circle (if I was) the thing was insta regen and well you know the end. I am not sure where the mistake was made based on what you have said. If I was in error then I will use a timer to get out of there next time. If it was a bug I will look to see it is fixed and will use timer till then. If you could work a message into it as a warning maybe 5min out that would keep others from my horror.
LMAO

I hope that vacation did you well Rexxus. Seems I only bother admin at start of season and when you go on vacation. Do not know why.

Thanks, vacation was short but great.

Hmm or you remember what POI it was again?
Either I find out which POI is time consuming and increase the regeneration on them or I increase it generic +2h or so.
In HWS 7 all POIs had a 12 hour timer on them but Community complained it took too long to regen.

I will be back on HWS in my AM your afternoon. I can go straight to it as it was on Zion. Only had 4 turrets on it 2 homing 2 dumbfire. About 5 layers down to big open room with big robot. I forget its name but if I look at the map I could tell you. That said when I get on tomorrow I will look it up and get back to you with it.

HWS support was great Jascha did me a big favor helping me out. Just like to do what I can to help out where I can.

Good Morning (likely morning for you though I just went to bed)
Dawg
