How do refunds work for folks who got it as part of a package?

Questions about refunds need to go directly to Estarra.

Most likely the credit value it is currently sold for at Bobs. To be sure try mailing artifacts@lusternia.com, messaging Estarra or issueing yourself as the administration tends to prefer those channels.

Yikes. It's faster to fly anywhere than that! I guess the whistle is now just an artifact for the lazy... it certainly no longer serves the impatient. It could really also use some form of disruption given this change, five minutes can be a fairly lengthy window. Interesting solution to the problem. Kinda bummed about it for regular use, though.
Why did they nerf the whistle?
Malicia2010-12-29 22:59:22
So bubblix owners or anyone in general, can't quickly whistle ships into play for aetherbubble flares. Five minutes is SO long though.

During the first aetherspace aetherring "fight", people whistled 3-4 ships to the dock of the bubble they wanted to capture...

Yeah that doesn't sound like a good or clean solution.
Why not just disable whistles at the dock for the bubble that is flared? Something like "the flare distorts the call of your whistle, rendering it useless"

I THINK people can use the anchor module to make a small little island next to the bubble and whistle more ships to the island(THINK is the key word here >.>).

There just has to be a better way than this...only have the 5 minutes apply during flares?
Xenthos2010-12-29 23:13:30
5 minutes at a flat rate is pretty clearly excessive overkill.
Kiradawea2010-12-29 23:19:21
Change to 5 minutes during aetherflares only?
Although at least whistles can still be used to get your ship back if others fly off with it and dock it on a bubble and die.

This seems to be the only real use for it now.

Do you have to be in the same room while you wait? I mean in that time you can bring up a few people or an artisan to build a beacon, make the colossus, prepare your meld etc, and by the time you're done the ship will have arrived.

You can whistle and move away, yes.

That really seems the obvious solution. This is a really huge nerf for every other use for them, and for no reason other than during flares.
Unknown2010-12-30 01:21:05
Put whistles back, block bubblixes during flares.
That was always the best solution anyway. This solution still won't stop easy domination of the ground game if one side has the bubblix for it.
Unless you're Fillin and meld the crap out of the bubblix entrance. But he's a freak and there's only one.
Ok, new solution.
Block bubblixes and Fillins.
NOW its balanced.

Yeah, Akui's right, blocking bubblixes during flares is a much better solution (or just slow them to five minutes), but if they're not going to do that, making the whistle nerf only during flares is better than what we've got.
