NPC factions/corps standings mechanics toward a player corporation are broken?

"NPC factions/corps standings toward a player corporation are calculated in this way:

You take the standing (without skills included) of each corporation member (towards the NPC entity in question) on an active subscribing account, add them all up and then divide by the number of members that have the standing already in their character sheet. The ones who do not have a standing towards the entity are not taken into account. The standings will update to the avarage after every downtime.

It is also worth noting that members standings towards NPC corps do not begin to affect their global corp standing towards the relevant NPC corp until they have been a member of their current corp for at least 7 days. "


But corp standings are no longer updated according with the members standings, even if they are in corp for more than 7 days/ 7 DT.
This issue occured after the downtime of 01.04.2012. (Standings mechanics worked properly on 31.03.2012, after DT.)

Corp standings haven't been updated on 01.04.2012, even if 7 days / 7 DT passed, neither today (8 days passed).

I have already petitioned this issue but I have no answer so far.

Well, it has been fixed today.

Corp standings are updated now.

Thank you, CCP.

It seems that I hastened to thank you, CCP.

Standings mechanics didn't work today, after DT...

It worked on 04.04.2012 and yesterday, 05.04.2012, but not today.

Please let us know if there is a bug and how long it takes until it will be fixed. It's really annoying.

Corp standings mechanics are still broken.

Standings aren't applied to the corp even if 8 days are passed (1 more day than it's required).

No answer to my petitions...

This issue occurs usually after an expansion, when downtimes don't work properly. Each time I had an answer in the same day when I have petitioned about it, but this time there is no answer so far...


It's so hard to say "yes, we have an issue and we work on it" ???

9 days are passed (2 more days than it's required) and standings aren't applied to the corporation.

3 days passed from my last post regarding that same issue has occured again, but nothing happens...

Standings mechanics are still broken and I have no answer to my petitions, only silence....

I wonder why this issue it's not added here: Crucible Issues & Workarounds

10 days are passed (3 more days than it's required) and corp standings aren't updated according with the members standings...

No more comments...

Another day, nothing happens. Corporation standings aren't updated even if a character has joined to a corporation on 30.03.2012 or on 03.04.2012.

This thing is really annoying. I started this thread on 02.04.2012 and CCP didn't say anything... I saw CCP answers (in other threads) on the same day with the first post, so I assume that all threads from this section are read by CCP.

To be more specific:

Attention A character joined on 25.03.2012 => corporation standings was updated with his standings only on 03.04.2012, after DT Arrow after 9 days
Attention A character joined on 30.03.2012 => corporation standings aren't applied yetArrow after 11 days
Attention A character joined on 03.04.2012 => corporation standings aren't applied yetArrow after 07 days

I even tried to anchor a tower because I thought that is my client's fault. But I had a message popped regarding "0.00 standings".

I have no answer to my petitions so far.
I wonder why I had an answer in the same day (even if the answer was about waiting until the next DT), in similar situations in the past and I have no answer now?

This issue often occurs after an expansion, when the downtime starts before 11.00 hrs eve time and it's finished after more than 1 hour. Corp standings mechanics are regarding the downtime hours. But this is irrelevant now. Corp standings mechanics don't work from 11 days.

It's time to say something, CCP.

Just say that I'm wrong and tell what should I do to see standings applied.
Or say that you are looking for what happened.

Just say SOMETHING!

This sounds good, but show us that isn't only on the paper:

"[...]You will also have noticed an increase in the pace of small targeted patches and hotfixes, many in response to the reports we are getting in from new back-end systems we put in place to help us react to issues faster.[...]"


I really expect an answer, please.

Same problem,

I recently created a new corporation at 03.31.2012 and want to join Gallente Militia. I know corporation will have to wait for 7 days from its initial creation before being able to join a militia.

But after 10 days my corporation standings didn't update with my personal Gallente Standings. I sent a petition CCP and still waiting for their reply.

I also cleared my cache and temp files but problem is still going...

They must say something about this issue. This is a real problem for pilots who want be to active in game.

Same here. Created a corp on the 1st April and I still can't put up a POS. Petitioned and ignored by CCP.

Good to see customer service is still low down on this companies radar Roll

Problem acknowledged. Daily updates are not so daily for an unknown reason. Looking into it.

Thank you for your reply, CCP Prism X.

Standings have been applied today, after DT.

I don't know if you did something or not. I hope that will be fixed from now.

Ok... 8 Days no change... Just did: >>> ESC/Reset Settings/Clear all cache files?

Let`s see if works...

CCP needs to clearly inform the rules regarding this... If this is fixed... What are the game rules/procedures...?

Nice!! It worked right away!....


If your CORPORATION isn`t changing the standings.... do this: ESC/Reset Settings/Clear all cache files?
