GregLuck That's how it should have worked, but seems they didn't think of that before. Well, seems they fixed it now, tho todays loss will be a loss nonetheless since even if they did fix it for the next time, it doesn't seem to be applicable right now. So we will still lose out today...
N0xiety Sorry for the delay. Yesterday, I got the detail about the issue. Before, I thought the expire time is 90 days. However, I'm wrong. Our developer told me it's 3 months. 3 months is different from 90 days. What you got in 11/27/2017 will be expired in 2/28/2018 0AM. 11/28/2018, 11/29/2018 and 11/30/2018 will together be expired in 3/1/2018 0AM as there is no 2/29 2/30 2/31 in year 2018.
So let's do a math calculation here. Yesterday, 56 bonus expired for you. It's 11/28 (8+5+5=18) + 11/29(10+5+5=20) +11/30(12+5+5=22) and 4 SS may be consumed. So 56 (18+20+22-4=56) SS expired yesterday according to the calculation. However it only showed the number of the expired old SS. There is another bug just found by us. 1/30(5+5+8=18) which is the new SS is also expired yesterday but the number is not added. So totally it's 56+18=74 SS expired yesterday (It's really a huge amount, I don't know whether you consumed it or not). Can you confirm what I said in you SS list page. Thanks.
Currently, I don't know what to say about the expire settings. But I will try my best to get the detail and explain to you, my dear daoist.
dapenggaofei Yes it's exactly as you said. In total 74 ss expired. I haven't been able to consume all, but i have consumed them as much as i can on unlocking some chapters and unlocking ads since i was forced to use it anyways. Tho after it stopped showing 56ss expiring for that day, it started showing -1 day to expire and more to expire came in just as you said. The total reached to 74 ss, so the rest that i couldn't consume expired.
N0xiety Thanks for your confirmation and I feel sorry for the inconvenience.
dapenggaofei Hmm, will there be a fix for this? I don't know if it can be done at this point, but turning the system to count days instead of months would be much more acurate for the future. If not, this will keep happening at the end of every February, April, June, September and November in the future. People will keep losing double or triple(in February) at the end of these months if the system isn't turned into day count right?
N0xiety Old 3 month has changed to New 30 days in our last release in mid January 2018. So the last batch of Old SS will be expired in mid April/2018. However March has 31 days. it won't happen again.
That's a bug in Feb( We made a mistake about the days in Feb. LOL ), but it has been fixed.
shllove how? Do you store dates as sperate day, month year columns rather than date type? I mean I know it's 3 bytes instead of 4 for a date and 5 bytes for a date time instead of 8, but is that really worth the extra overhead and strange date calculations? (Leap years are every 4 years except for the century years that are not multiples of 400. And leap seconds are added sporadically.) Well, I guess it's too late to change it now. Good luck!
shllove I see.... Ok then thank you :D
N0xiety I admire the detail you've gone to :joy:
Silverwind I like being thorough in everything i do. Mild ocd i guess haha!
Not complaining anything since I've been losing SS up to 10 - 20 a day since I join. I didn't know they have an expiring date hahaha
