Heyo fellow RoMers,

I wanted to ask if any CM's could clarify if the extra exp/tp will apply to quests turn-ins this weekend?

Also,

Can we have a happy hour sale for daily reset tickets to match it?

Thanks,

Yea nobody knows for sure if the EXP/TP bonus is also for quest turn ins. As for the daily resets they did add that everyone will get a "special" item as soon as we log in within the next few days so maybe it just 1 or 2 tickets.

I seriously doubt it is on quest turn ins. Most likely it's just on the standard killed mobs. If it is on quest turn ins, that would be amazing but given it's 250%, it would make a single daily in Sarlo give 1.4m xp; really don't see that happening.

Here I thought that all XP events were for quests yet TP events were for mobs only.

Oh well if just for mobs there goes the plans to get some secondary class leveled up this weekend.

And Ziav think your only looking at the daily for that xp gain. the regular quests already give around 1.4 per completion. Think how sweet that would be if Sarlo quests do give 250% xp/tp...now that would be insta 82 on main class right....hope we get a decent weekend of fun and not broke.

OMG GROW THE HELL UP CHILDREN

I hope its for quests as well, would be a little bit of a disappointment if it wasn't. Been hoping to level my Priest for awhile.

Did we ever have double XP events that didn't apply to quests?

XP bonus is almost always on quest turn ins. TP - kills, but XP is kills and quests.

Also, now that sale is up and it is the fail badly thought out Faith level jewels sale that everyone was expecting, can we get the sale thread unlocked? I got some words in me itchin to come out.

I was a little confused by the announcement myself. Usually, EP bonus applies for quests and kills but the TP bonus applies only on kills.

However, this announcement makes no such distinction so I have asked The Ones That Know and have received an answer.

I'm told that the bonus applies fully across quests and kills - EP and TP!!!

I just hope I've not been misinformed...

Have you ever heard that old saying...."The pot calling the kettle black." Mister I complain and whine over ever sale ever day/weekend.

So really who needs to grow up?

I do not mind some 80 plus 16 gems but really wish they would be sold with ruby bonus....miss the days of Ptoken ruby bonus and sale ruby bonus ( even if it was lowered due to being sale ).

we'll update once we know for sure - it was apparently explicity stating that on FB earlier but the FB posts got aligned to the forum posts.

This is also why Yrcanos posted "I hope i don't have been misinformed"

It also starts at Midnight in Germany so we can update in 1,5h to know for sure what has been set on the servers.

Re

"Fairytale" guild members are so happy in any kind of EP/TP bonus. Thanks Rom!

I recall a few weeks ago, a sale for reset tickets came up. All I heard from people was complaining. I am SO glad I invested in 100 tickets for my two characters on Reni.

I hope its a quest deal....

Even if it isn't, I'm thankful. I'm also thankful that my guildees have been farming dogmeat since the patch came out.

Re: One big SORRY & one Boost Event + Present

So, this obviously helps ALOT of people, and it goes a long way to show that Gameforge is "trying" to do better. But sadly, not everyone can, or is able to play weekends, and the bulk of the login issues happed from Wednesday to Friday last week. I could not log in my main toon for 3 days, Wed, Thurs and Friday (til 7pm est), so I got screwed by that, no big deal, it happens. But now you give bonuses ONLY on weekends, and 2 in a row? What about the players that cannot login on weekends to play, now we get screwed a 2nd and 3rd time? Why not just do a full 7days bomus so EVERYONE benefits from it?

Oh and nice fail on the weekend sale seeing as 90% of your players wont be buying the Faith jewels (lvl 80 cap). Can we hire developers that can actually put new jewels into the game? They should of went into the game the day Sarlo went live.

Xp/tp this weekend....

Can anyone confirm if it does affect quests? When it is supposed to start (I know I heard midnight Germany, which is over an hour ago at the time of this post)?

Ok, after some confusion and a bit late start on Germany we have the official information by now.

The amount of bonus is:
Quests: 250% XP. 100% TP [from 100%,100%]
Kills: 250% XP, 250% TP [from 100%,100%]
-- clarification added: yes, that does mean the actual bonus on TP on quests is 0. You'll only get as much TP as always.

Mob droprate 200%.
(This only affects variable drops - you will not get additional purple drops off of instance bosses from this setting as these are fixed drops. Just to clarify)

These are total values not added values. (Aka *2.5/*1 | *2.5/*2.5 , Droprate *2)

Yes the initial announcement stated "+250%" which implied additional 100 percentage points bonus (*3.5 not *2.5).
This is currently not the case. We should have more official information on that by Monday.

The values should be higher on the second weekend aka next week (either 350% or even 450% total, it is not clear yet).
More information on that is also not expected until Monday.

The Event should start on the US side at Midnight server time.
The servers are running on Mountain [or Pacific -- i'll recheck] time, so it should start in ~5h[6h from this post if Pacific] from now.
Start is/was Midnight Pacific time. //updated.

---

Also there should be a little present package popping into your inventories after a relog consisting of:
1 Phoenix Redemption
1 Daily Quest Ticket
1 Big Angels Sigh
1 Portable Mail (7 Days)

About Yrcanos' earlier post: Unfortunately it was a false information (which he hoped it was not, as you can read in his post) due to an error earlier on the official Facebook Page which got transported further.

so once again, no extra tp on quests, not surprising and now questing on the weekend will just screw people over on tp.

it was a great attempt for compensation and i applaud gameforge for it, but it still is another fail.

or did i completely misunderstand what you were saying because....

for quests...

100k xp * 250% = 250k xp

10k tp * 100% = 10k tp

not worth questing this weekend or next weekend

How many times do we need to go over the explanation about how bonus XP without bonus TP does not hurt your character?

If the 'bonus' is 100%tp, isn't that the same as double tp from quests? So instead of (Quest TP reward)*1, it is instead (Quest TP reward)*2? Since if we're saying that 100% TP is *1, then it really isn't a bonus lol?

Again, I may be in the same misunderstanding as Karma :3

It would be nicer to have it of course. It is always nicer to have more, nobody denies that. But it is like it is and this is the official information about it.

And really: leveling faster only hurts people who a) want to do explicitly lowlevel-pvp aka level29 arena or b) trying "oldschool" projects and therefore are keeping their levels low/constant on purpose. Yes your skills will not all be maxed just because you have reached level X. They would not be maxed if you did them on a normal weekend either, you're not losing out on *anything* - quite the contrary, you are saving time. You will need to gain more TP through farming and grinding either way if you want everything - or depending on your class even everything that is really necessary - maxed. And the huge TP bonus on monsters makes grinding for TP really worthwile, since there are a multitude of options that will stack on your net TP gain, which will not stack on quests either way.

So, tl:dr;
Is this nice and useful as it is now? Yes it is.
