btw, if in times of trouble your solution is crying rivers then keep going with that :-)

Oh please don't stop him. It's truly rather entertaining. Same as the guy posting in the shoutbox. This is much better than the event.

Seems to me what would have been fair to the community as a whole would be to have held the releasing of that last 50 levels of content until after the event.  Seeing that 50% of the community, more or less, has already spent their stam.

[EpicPiety]

You and I and everyone else who cares even a little bit about this game, knows that no one gets to EOC during a double xp event and stops, they spend all their stam, otherwise, you are wasting your top tier pots.

 

Maybe the early levelers only get punished by a couple % of lost xp, but it is a punishment nonetheless.

They do this like every event...idk why but that's why i always hold off.

[stimpysam]

It's been done now, those extra 50 levels got released 24 hours after the 2xp event started which I don't think is right... it is unfair. Many players are still able to take advantage of this, but a good percentage have sadly lost out. Only a very few will want to, if they are able, to buy a load of current stam and use more expensive potions/chests to continue where they left off in their first levelling hunt.

I really hope that in future all EOC content intended for 2xp events is released in one sitting.

Just happy to see content after 2 months of none. Hope to see the quests for it soon.

Now that we have people at 3000 can you please look at invigorate? .01 per point means at a maxed skill it's a 1.75% boost.

Kinda useless tbh. Can this be bumped up to .05 so this skill has some use?

It needs to be worth me losing Coa/Cod/some ke/sh benefits... Don't even thing that would be worth me breaking a set for a epic.

[EpicPiety]

Would like to know that answer as well....

Guess he ignored us. I'm genuinely curious what has taken precedence over everything else. I'm really eager to see the update! Must be something really fun or important right?

I'm wondering why there was an extra 50 levels added after the event started, instead of the quests being added to the 100 levels just added the day before?

 

Realistically, I'm not anywhere near EOC so it doesn't effect me. But if I was and it did, this would suck.  I get why some players are not happy about it. And I think it's totally on topic for them to point out the frustration, so hopefully this kinda thing can be avoided in the future. I'm sure HCS didn't intend or foresee this reaction. Now they know. Productive, right?

If only this were the first time players have been caught by a switcheroo.  Unfortunately, it's happened before and player outcry hasn't stopped it from happening again so I seriously doubt this will be the last time.

It was additional content that was added to give more levels for players at EoC. We'll take note for the next Double XP event however

Whilst it's semi-irrelevent to me given I've already hunted, had those 24+ hr later 50 levels been added from the get-go, I'd have used bigger potions and made more of an in-road into the content.

 

This is, as far as I can recall, the FIRST and ONLY time that secondary content has been added once an XP event has been live for over 24 hrs.

 

Please, PLEASE, ensure it's also the LAST.

 

I feel for those who burned big pots and sub-levelled and then found more content - this should NOT have happened IMO.

I'm not sure anything less than another 'gamebreaking boost' is going to make this skill useful.

The Coordinated buffs are so overpoweringly good, losing them in favour of using an epic would have to come with an absurd boost.

We thought it would be a nice surprise to add the extra content, but I see where you're coming from. Will look to do it differently for the next Double XP event.

[Mister Doom]

I'd say rollback, but then I'd have to hunt again, and... Ugh...

 

Can you do individual rollbacks for those that lost out? lol

No and no. We will look at releasing all the content before the Double XP event next time however

I have to query why this would be perceived as a "nice surprise" by those who'd already expended their stamina LOL.

 

Ho Hum.

[lapdragon]

i for one have to say how AWESOME it was to hunt today with NO LAG what so ever!!....this is a big deal to me...and when i say i spend a long time hunting....it is horrible with lag...and what EVER the HCS did to prevent it, THANK YOU!!  xoxoxoxo

That was the highlight of the event for me too - for the first time in memory, an XP event with no lag. So, congrats Cows on that aspect of the event

[Belaric]

The extra 50 levels after the event has started?

 

You know, at first I was bummed - I could have got through most, if not all of those levels if they had been there when I was hunting, given my remaining stam at the time - I then hilariously blew a wad of it hunting a titan with doubler 1750+ still running - heroic error! LOL!

 

Now, on reflection, I'm cool with it - it is a curve ball, something unexpected - I like the surprise, and I like that I have content to look forward to and plan around once I've regained stam. It means I can plan for gold acquisition for myself and my guild, rather than worrying about a gold drought, which happens when there is a long lag between new releases of content for me.

 

In future players may not jump in on day one, in case this happens again - having to make decisions and deal with uncertainty gives the game a little edge again. So, as I said, I'm cool with HCS doing this now. Yep, folk spent mega pots, me included, but we did so knowing we'd waste them as we'd outrun the content anyway. Now there is new content waiting for us. I personally like that.

 

My 2c. 

[Windbattle]

guessing i'm getting some extra content, woot
