Please do more of these. Once a month or something would be awesome!


I think we can all agree that this is a fantastic idea.
It adds a little boost without ruining the journey.

Disagree, it ruins the investment - reward ratio, is unfair to those who cannot exp that time etc.

So we all do not agree. And it is definitely a slippery slope, people already asking for rp boost weekends and monthly exp bonus, nothing which Goa or Mythic did in 1.65 live.

Breath guy, breath.

And ? Whe are in 2017, not in 2003

Well, lets hope this is a success for you. because yeah that pop drop has been steady asf.

People don't have the stomach for that boring ass grind if theres no groups. I bailed out because ironically leveling 2 chars in beta burned me out; when live hit, I just wasnt interested in doing it yet again.

/shrug

Limited xp bonuses is very much in line with random events that GoA and Mythic held.

I remember seeing a 1v1 pvp tournament on Excal way back, GoA held the tournament in Nisses lair iirc.

Why should we discourage Uthgard from having limited events?

I think it's a great idea.

One thing i thought before you unveil your Easter week-end XP bonus :

- Place Easter Eggs everywhere in all lands, that gives 1, 2 or 5 lvls up when used, with only one use possible for each character.

Free levels will never be part of Uthgard.

Just more of a way to fall behind the weekend players.

Seems people who need biggist boost of xp are onces who play non peak times when less groups and people are around.

Also the boost xp In bgs is gone make it hard to do Caledonia bgs quest with out killing yourself countless times.
turn off xp for bgs command would help.

If the same boost was given to players from monday to friday after easter or extended for week it would be appricated alot more.

And make it fair for the whole community of Uthgard


as it stand it benfits the weekend players and people who don't work over easter.

so i will fall behind more the weekend players and have grind even more and find even less groups after the event.


just dispointing makes the game uneven un classic unfair

You work 96 hours over the weekend? I can't believe that. Or Do you stay away from home? I'm not belittling your post, I'm just trying to understand how that is any different to an average player that works weekdays and has a family?

For example, in my opinion, this Easter weekend is probably the worst weekend of the year other than Christmas to have an xp weekend. I'll most certainly be spending time with my family and I'll do a hell of a lot less gaming. It kinda sucks that this is just some Easter deal when realistically we need a 20% xp boost as a standard. It should just be like that from here on. Thats just my opinion though.

I totally agree that Easter weekend is bad not just for those who work in hotels services and have serve over 9.000 people in hotel with screaming kids over the weekend.

It's also bad for people with family's and kids who have time off together for once.

This event only benfits hard core players and people with time to burn who have level 50s allready.

As I say it does not benfit the whole community of Uthgard it just divides it more.

More bgs with high xp is good idea and should be more bgs added to encourage more pvp.

Even from the very low levels.

But they need look into Caledonia quest business 30 -35 and the 2l requirements before leveling up.

Same applies for other weekends and will also apply when we do events during the week which we rarely will do. So any time we would choose, someone will not be able to participate. This event is specially there for Easter holidays when many have more time available than usual. Sorry that you can't participate. Maybe next time.

Realm point bonus events are highly unlikely to be seen on Uthgard, it was a huge mistake to introduce them to the live servers.

For once, i agree 100%

I'm for ANYTHING that helps the overall health and population of the server. I could care less if it doesn't directly help me me me me me in the short term. I'd like things for Uthgard that will help the server in the long term. Stop being so selfish (you know who you are).

And how exactly is this going to make the casuals fall behind further? I don't get that at all. It's a server wide XP increase....try to take advantage as best you can. And if you can't because you actually have a real life, then be happy (that you have a RL, trust me it's better) and go RL and wait for the next event, as Blue said.

This could also be looked at as a RP bonus in way, as someone else said. You know where the people are going to be, so you know where the RPs are going to be, gather your forces and try to kill them. The RPs will be pouring down like rain to those who can muster a decent force. I suspect this is partly why the staff approved this. To stir up some more RvR action in Dodens and SH, which to me is going to make for some really interesting RvR settings among all those crazy purp mobs. Beats 8 manning around in Emain again and again and again over and over and over. Adding will happen here too, red is dead.

How about an almost dragon level monster "easter" rabbit that invades a starter town and drops and respec stones?

Defiantly a step in the right direction.

Thanks staff

Tis is great njus,

just want to say ,- Thank you Staff .

This is an RP event if you ´re brave enough to join SH raids at this time.

How exciting, time to try and get my alt up a few levels.

I assume this is cumulative with the existing bonuses in the frontiers...

So leveling near a keep, owned by your guild, during the event will result in a 40% bonus to exp?

Yes, these are two different bonuses that stack up. Its a) an area xp bonus and b) outpost/rvr xp bonus.
