[Agamotto]

different happy hour types could be applied on a single day or not?

for example on 5/5...
3:00am ~ 7:00am - exp only
10:00am ~ 2:00pm - drops only
5:00pm ~ 9:00pm - all bonuses

can happen?

will leave it to one type per day, keeps it less confusing (i'll update the OP to make it clear)

so now we never get 30% reinf/enchant/compound bonuses?

[Agamotto]

well that would be okay... just dont mix different stuff in 1 day XD

Would be bad if someone opens a 1 day 100% exp scroll on first HH with exp only and end up having no more exp hh's later that day.

If random bonuses for a day would mean giving us higher rates then it would be worth it at least for me.

well if a forge only hh would be placed on a 25% or 30% forge weekend you could be looking at 45%-50% forge bonus lol

[Sakana]

forge events can still happen as a separate event, but these rates can still stack with events if they are overlapping, but most likely rates would be adjusted so don't expect a 45-50% forge event in the near future.

What about 35-40% forge event?

[Sasuke21]

and the chance now that we get a 35% forge again sucks..cuse we dont know when to ask for a forge event cuse we dont know what hh will be in that weekend ><

Happy Hours are scheduled to happen on the following days :

So, one day we can have HH with only Lant drop and another day HH with only EXP? This is not a pleasant surprise.

Personally, I think its a really bad move. I tend to use 2Day Lant drops during HH and usual I apply the scroll the day before or before HH starts. Well I can no longer do that, as HH may not include higher drop rate and lant rate, so using the scroll becomes a chance.

Same thing for 1 day EXP scrolls, one tends to use them before HH starts.

BTW Lant Drop is usual only good with Drop Rate. Grinding is not fun, so it is best done when you can maximise results (EXP + LANT + DROP Rate).

The way it was before is thousands times better and more reliable. Please don't change it.

I absolutly love how everyone's begging for reinf event.

[primus]

so we back to guessing game when it comes to HH again .


first of all whats the big deal not saying what the HH is ahead of time .


second it does take in account players have things outside of requiem , example work ( or do you think your the only ones that work ?)

bad enough I hafta to hope HH or event is happening during time that 1 I am here to do it , 2 that I am up for it and 3 that I am able to find out what it is ....


I am infavor of what we had all bonus during HH .

[Lenkova]

....
Happy Hours are scheduled to happen on the following days :

5/5 <---- EXP?
5/9
5/11
5/13
5/16
5/19
5/21
5/24
5/27
5/30

I wanna think the 5/5 gona be EXP since get into the current EXP event.....dont?

[DEADCATZ]

The way it was before...

Back in the day..

HH used to be an hour.

It happened randomly, without schedule or assurance of repeats.

The perks were solitary and near frivolous.. 5% exp or 150% lant (if it worked).

Forge bonus was a foreign thing that only happened in other games.


Nowadays..

They total TWELVE hours a day.. that's 50% of the day.

It should be called Happy Days now.

And you can practically set a watch by them..

Or at very least your alarm clock.


The bonuses are wakawakawaka and stacked liked Jewish poker.

And you only need to skip six days of school to catch them all.

Or call in sick four days if you work weekends..

Or miss church twice if you're the religious type.


The complaint that you don't know which scroll to use the day before the scheduled event defies logic.

I bet you peaked in all your xmas presents the day before too.. tsk tsk tsk...

See what happens later in life?

You never learned to appreciate and enjoy the air of mystery.

Keep it up and someone might tell you Sakana's not real either.

Spoiler

When I was a kid we didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

i want like it was before

[Xerses]

WTF this ?
I dont wanna waste my 1-3 day exp or lant scrolls cuz the most time going to trash with this new HH system.
That was the last,im fed up, now go to play with SWTOR and waiting D3.
U guys killing ur own costumers.
Gravity = bunch of idiots.

[ashenglory]

will leave it to one type per day, keeps it less confusing (i'll update the OP to make it clear)

Just keep a schedule of which type will be on each day.

[Napster]

I think the better way for HH's more interesting for all is keeping old style:

+30% Exp / +100% Lant/Drops / +5% Reinforce/Enchant / +10% Compound Success

but.. can do a change randomly:

1st HH of the day:

+40% Exp / +100% Lant/Drops / +5% Reinforce/Enchant / +10% Compound Success

2nd HH of the day:

+30% Exp / +200% Lant/+100% Drops / +5% Reinforce/Enchant / +10% Compound Success

3rd HH of the day:

+30% Exp / +100% Lant/Drops / +20% Reinforce/Enchant / +20% Compound Success

(every1 here waiting for HH only for they wanted; if they put an HH with only EXP then i need to create new char to enjoy the HH or stay afk in alban



btw game need perm drop increase.... drop atm sux even with scroll

So if i want the first HH for the 40% -10% extra- (for put me on example) i should wake up at 7 am ? mmhhh yeahh sounds pretty fair to me

[Napster]

So if i want the first HH for the 40% -10% extra- (for put me on example) i should wake up at 7 am ? mmhhh yeahh sounds pretty fair to me

its randomly, only 1 hr before u can know what special HH is coming (EXP~Lant~Drop~Forge)

[ThreatToSociety]

Don't try to fix whats not broken.

[Lenkova]

...

Who got this idea?... its not bad one, but pretty much unfair (being random is unfair to ppl wait for HH and login 1 hr b4 is not a solution to that).


Still like the old way. Idk why u guys change things they dont have to be change... but well .... was always like this since i start to play the game.

[Torment]

This is not a wise idea.

The people that have work (and the ones the can afford to support the game) and can only play some days of the week wont be pleased to find out that the only day they able to play and try to level up a character will find out something as random a lant HH, which will be useless for their purpouses.

Not many can be online all days of the week just to try to luckily get the HH they need.

This is a bad idea, HH's should remain as they are. or I'll put in terms that may make Gravity think about it other way: random HHs, not much need to get lucky boxes&sticks to try to get 100% Exp Scrolls, meaning less income from already low population.

Suggestion: Leave HHs as they are (+30% Exp / +100% Lant/Drops / +5% Reinforce/Enchant / +10% Compound Succes), but add as random bonus to each HH (Exp Only : +20% Exp, Drops Only : +100% Drops, Lant Only : +100% Lant, Forge Only : +20% Reinforce/Enchant/Compound Success) as something extra that may atract more people.

Game should entertain, not to dissapoint. Surprises are not always good. Make them pleasant or do not make them at all.
