[b]In-Game Event[/b] [url='http://board.us.runesofmagic.gameforge.com/board272-runes-of-magic-us/board265-news-announcements/board554-events/p662467-taborean-academy/#post662467']Taborean Academy[/url]

Celes states that there will be an XP boost this up-coming weekend. So the question is, will it just be XP on quests or XP boost on kills as well? & if it's XP boost on kills, will it JUST be XP and not xp/tp?

Quoted

As
you can see above, we will repeat the EXP event on US servers on
Saturday and Sunday. It will be the same event, so EXP will be increased
by 100% just like last weekend.
The event only includes EXP, because everything worked fine last weekend regarding talent points.

thats a quote from their fb....

yanno, any company can say 'we gave them what we said we would' so RoM gave/gives up what they said they would, they gave/give us exactly what they said they would, no more and no less... any company can do this

but a good company

a good company is going to give you what they said, and they'd even sit down with you with coffee and donuts and say yanno, we messed up, we know we messed up and we want to thank you for still being with us even tho we messed up, and rom you messed up several times this week

thank you rom for lowering my expectation of a good game it makes me sad

I am sad to see the lack of empathy to the community. Hey we messed up on the event , we broke it but we won't give you anything more for our mistakes and deal with it!! Would have been too much to give that little extra little something to the community?? not like it would cost them anything!!! except the fact that people would level other classes and spend diamonds to plus up and tier their gear and spend diamonds. Guess simple economics is not made for bureaucrats.

Gameforge should learn to make things right once in a while

didn't see their fb, so thanks for putting that up.

& I hear ya.. If nothing else, 100% xp/tp for kills would have made everyone really happy & excited.

It really just means not using my main for much of anything this weekend.

It was only the XP boost that was broken, so it is being repeated. \o/
The TP boost functioned correctly so is not being repeated. (Personally, I'm not sure I like that...)

you see what I'm saying, Yrcanos? boundless XP w/o TP to go with it makes a very very sad high level toon w/ no skills.

I'll still make use of the XP for my 2ndary & I'm grateful for it, but just wished for a real xp/tp event since I didn't do much of anything last weekend thinking the event was broken.

If a person logs in for the weekend and hears nothing but "gameforge broke something and the xp bonus is dead in the water" why would they stay logged in?

Gameforge has been playing everything too reserved. You are allowed to say mistakes were made, we are sorry, here is what we will do to make up for it.

But most of what we are seeing is "you feedback is taken, here is what we owe you and you don't get an ounce more effort out of us". People are getting tired of being treated like we are causing trouble just by existing. At this point i'm just looking to burn whatever diamonds I have left and quit. Runewaker has been designing instances under the premise of the exostense of +20s and gameforge has made it even harder to acquire with more bullsdh** in the way. They need to acknowledge the fact that your endgamers are keeping you afloat and treating the entire playerbase like we owe gameforge something is not how you keep people happy.

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.

Zone/Quests/etc for Cap 97 have been ready for a while, but we're waiting on more bugfixes (e.g. the stupid script breaks in HoC and BP, Cenedril attrkbute buffs not vanishing after using any other buff) for current content and ofc also for changes that are going into Madro Troll Nest and Raven Heart instances atm.

Wow... stop crying about Lv97 cap. Level caps mean nothing without working instances. Lv95 cap has been out for a while, but BP hasn't. That's what really counts. If anything Lv97 cap is too early right now.

This basically. Why do all the noobs want new level caps all the time when current content doesn't even work/hasn't been completed/hasn't been working for any acceptable length of time. New level caps mean nothing except an hour spent leveling and then back to the same old crap you were already doing. Why do you want to see that new shiny number next to your name so badly.

Borella and Magio, it's all about you and the latest instance again, 95% of the rest of the server wants to go quest, level, craft, plant etc from the level 97 zone. It's not all about the instance and the 5% of the servers, we might be noobs but at least we are able to enjoy other facets of the game.

Also some of us have done the smart way of leveling and have quests for our other classes to bring them up to 95/97 with that new zone opening. I couldn't care less about the new instance if it works or not, it will be too hard for 95% of the server to do anyways until they are at level 107+ to clear it. Guildies and friends are waiting for the next 97 gear to make their new crafted gear (FREE) to enjoy the game at no crazy costs to them

Since instances haven't given us set skills in what? 4 or 5 years?? why would people go nuts to gear just for that ?? A lot of people enjoy the game without the instances anyways.

And tyvm to Saito and Yrcanos for your input on this thread, greatly appreciated :beer:

Quest for what reason? To spend an hour to max your class and go back to mini games? 97 gear to make crafted gear to do.. what? Plant and do mini games? Run instances that are 20 levels behind cap? What do you need new crafted gear for if you don't care about instances? You can do all of these things without a new level cap. Sorry but level caps and new instances DO cater to the endgamers. Those who aren't interested in endgame do not need new level caps. The game does not change in any real way for non-endgame players with new level caps. If you enjoy the game without instances there's no reason for a new level cap, but yet it's always the people who don't care about instances whining and begging for new level caps constantly.

to be fair, there are a good number of people i've met that enjoy questing. they simply want the new cap so they can do more quests and go more places, that's the entire reason. needing new crafted gear or even instances is unnecessary for these people.

everybody has their own reasons for playing, but from what i've observed, new level cap is NOT necessary at this time.

Fix the bugs that are in the game before bringing more bugged content, yes you can't fix all the bugs, but at least fix the ones that actually stop people progressing in game.

As for making new crafted gear, lol good one, craft npcs are broke for ages and knowing runewaker they'll forget the recipes for new gear anyway xD Instances are part of the game, and if they're still bugged, whats the point of releasing more bugged content that will only make servers further behind.

Imo 97 should come in about a months time or so, but just my thoughts anyway.

The idea of this game from day one has been to let people level easily and for free but to make them pay for the skills to make the player able to play at their level. It had always been the way the game works very easy and free to get plenty of xp to level very fast but also make it very hard and expensive to get the tp to level the skills that make it possible to play at that level
That is why you will always see high xp events with xp bonuses for every activity including dailies but low tp and limited to kills only and almost never on dailies. It is easy to level your character but impossible to get your skills necessary for that level. Xp is free Tp you pay for.
