Advent, Advent (XP/TP/Drop Bonus)

Quoted

The time of Advent has also arrived to Taborea! The Natives of Taborea meet for baking cookies, singing carols and share stories of faraway places and enjoy the festively decorated cities.

The children of Taborea are all excited at the prospect of cookies, sing and stories! Yet, there is one thing they are excited about more than anything….Advent calendars! It’s not jus the children that will get them though, but also you, our Taborean community!

Head on over to our website and head to our “Advent” page under “community”. There you can open the door for that day and see what is hidden behind!

With the small surprises could be anything, with even a chance for an in-game item! However, be quick to redeem the code as the code is only valid for the day it is connected to!

Throughout December you can expect an increased drop rate from an initial 10% up to 200% on Christmas! Not only that, but on the 6^th December, you can expect +50% TP from Killing monsters.

Christmas is truly a season for the senses! On the 24^th December not only will you get the +200% drop rate chance, but also 150% more TP and 100% more XP. On the 25^th you will get an extra 150% drop rate chance, 100% more TP and 200% more XP! To conclude the Christmas celebrations on the 26^th, the drop rate is increased by 100%, with 200% more TP and 150% more XP.

You can access door for each day between 0:00 and 23:50 CET and take what is hidden behind!

We hope you enjoy and wish you lots of gifts! Do not forget to come by every day!

Have Fun!

Dio just posted the thing on US forum, and it has this extra:

Due to technical reasons you can only open one calendar door per day in the time between 0:00h CET and 23:59h CET and enjoy its' content!

For US this means, you can access one door for each day between 03:00 PM PST and 02:59 PM PST on the next day and take what is hidden behind!

So this rolls over at 3pm PST-6pm EST, and seems like not on yet.

Also, Advent in traditional sense starts on Sunday. No idea if they will follow that or use it in more general sense.

So will any of this be on quests or just mobs, cause frankly im tired of the kill only events, I have 29mil more for my scout to hit 75 (refuse to buy reset tickets). You could give 300% on mobs and it would still take a few weeks of farming hours a day.

This isn't entirely a Gameforge problem, the is a terrible difference between mobs XP and amount of XP needed to level. You simply can't grind your way to 75.

I couldn't Agree more with you on this one Ebilone. They really need to throw in the exp/tp on quests too. Because this event would just be a waste of time for most people.

I think phrases like "on the 6th December, you can expect +50% TP from Killing monsters", but not having this phrasing around Christmas bonuses make it seem that you get straight XP/TP bonus. Of course, we had some other cases where the phrasing was not chosen well and made it sound like something is happening and it is not. Still, that is the way to bet. 24th, 25th and 26th should be on quests.

Id really like to +1 the vote to have it include questing. 100% more tp/xp for doing quests would be right up there with the xmas spirit.

Lol its not rough, just a comparison of how much XP is required to level vs how much you receive per kill. But I think it's important to let them know we want bonuses on quests and Doo can forward that to them.

When I read the announcement i was suspicious of the lack of information, it is bordering on being purposely vague. However from the arrangement that the 3 percentages are being shuffled between the 3 days its running suggests(in my view) its only on kills.

HOPE I'M WRONG!!!! :O

Why would they put it on quests? Everyone is stuck at the same ones anyway!

(yea yea alts and whatnot...)

A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

I'm a bit confused, so basically, there's 1 minute from 2:59 to 3:00 where you can't use the calander, so whats the issue with that? :confused:

And yeah, I guess it starts sunday, calander is empty for me too.

I am extremely disappointed in the timing of the double tp/xp. we've been waiting months for double xp and they announce its going to be held dec 24-26? Do they think no one has plans for christmas? Most people are busy with family stuff on those days and can't spend any significant amount of time playing rom. A lot of people probably go out of town too and cant play at all. This is just stupid. The only thing I'll have time to do in the game on those days is dailies.

then again, i'm sure they probably planned it for those days on purpose, this way they can say they gave us double xp so we can't whine about it anymore while most people arent able to actually benefit from it much because they obviously don't want us to.

I think it would be a lot better to give us double xp either the weekend before or the weekend after christmas, everyone will be able to play a lot more then. Of course, it would be really great if we could have double xp this weekend or next weekend too!

Agreed. I feel that a better solution is to just give us extra xp from Christmas Eve until New Years Day like they did last year. I really enjoyed that.

it seems to me that even if they did give us what we ask for people would still bitch like 12 year old schoolgirls.its no wonder no one listens to us ,most complain regardless of what they give us.the whole community should be more concerned with borked questlines and real in gamr issues rather than whine about an event that we actually got a heads up before start.its just sad i used to see helpful info on here now its all just complaining about everything.......whats next the nerf p/s thread yet again?

No, it goes from 3:00 to 2:59, not 2:59 to 3:00. So there's 23 hours 59 minutes where you can use it, not 1 minute lol.
