Happy Hours are meant to be an extra bonus for players than continually play the game, as of now, it's become the only time that players will log in and do quests/grind and their playing times are revolving around these HH times.

Happy Hours used to be on Random Days (that were only known to the FB users) and used to be at Random times, but we are giving you the dates and hours that these bonuses are happening giving all time zones a chance to participate in at least 1 of the HH.

The changes to the bonuses are a way to give players direction during the event times. (ex. Lant HH = Grind JS for more Lant, EXP HH = Turn in all the quests, Forge HH = Upgrade your items, etc.) We wanted to try to give bigger bonuses and this is the only way we can do it at this time.

How about making it so people log on all the time instead of just during events and HH?

A dependency on events to be able to play isn't good at all for the health of a game.

This is true, but isnt our fault and isnt the HH either. You guys make ur product not fun to play then only for HH or some TB/Foc (not even SvS by far now).

Again, changing something it's not the issue not gona make it better, just make it worst.

Main complain there was before about HHs was that first HH was usually forgotten to be turned on, if something as simple as that has failed many times before, how doing some randomized HHs will work better?

As someone previously said "Don't try to fix whats not broken". That is shooting to your own leg

The main gripe about lant HH only is that JS mobs give huge drop/lant penalties because they are even more than 10 levels lower than cap level. Even TD mobs are 80+ but not 83 and capped toons get a 30% penalty off the bat.

You might wanna tweak mob levels too(just like what you did for PD) to lower JS and TD drop/lant penalties. Make mobs at least lvl 83 on these 2 instances.

Oh and Crescent... ;)

I still agree with different types of HH to maximize the bonuses though... it will definitely lower grind/farm time.

O' look for the first day of HH Sakana brought you

Exp +30(+70% Total), Drops +100%, Lant +100%, Reinforce/Enchant +5%, Compound +10%, and a partridge in a pear tree.

You still got about an hour to pick out the right scrolls and shoes to wear.

But you forgot to leave cookies.. don't worry.. I'll jus sneak these in here..

Giving 1 hour notice of what the hh is isnt very useful at all and isnt giving people the time they need to get say exp scroll/ lant scroll or w/e. The only way i see this being good is if you give notice of what the hh will be on each day so people might actually log on for it. If you cant give more notice i think hh is better like it was before.

Since the main problem was lant wouldnt it make more sense to increase lant dropped from mobs or at least give a lant event?

Lame, just tell us what each HH is gonna be and when, there's no need to "Gravity" up the situation and make it retarded. Why can't you people ever do anything properly? And if they want more people to log in, try fixing the game so it actually works and people will WANT to play. You got about a week until Diablo 3's release date, so expect to lose a lot more people for a game that I guarantee will be much fun and will actually work.

I just caught the end of HH and don't actually know how HH now works. The previous ones though they had extra exp the lant bonus was still applied. But now it 200% Drop rate just finished but the lant drop was normal and I think so was the exp but not 100% certain on that.

Most of people who have the feedback prefer the old HH. In the end HH is meant for the player base not to test out silly ideas. Bring back the old HH.

Make the damn game more fun and more populated. The current expenses of the game for players is not justified by the lack of community, lack of response to feedback and lack of new content.

Going against the grain of the community is not the way to go

Did you guys explained how this work to the application manager? I mean he really didnt get how the previous ones worked and messed up all the time the schedules :p_swt:


Note: I refer to this "application manager" as a person because otherwise I would have to state the obvious and say that you guys have such basic skills that you cant even configure (look Alteris I didnt use the word programming~) an application correctly.

Lol u are asking for bringing old ones. First of all they must make Happy Hours workable.

I was at PD when i saw %200 lant drop HH started notice. And lants never changed for next 3 hours.

I was farming at PD when i saw %200 drop rate hh started notice. and looted only 56 rare basic from a full run. Normally it was around 80 :D


Looks like Gravity acting like scammer like always. I recommend u Remove all Happy Hours or make them Workable. If you don't know how to do that go and ask somebody who knows.

and as you can see or not who knows people liked the old HH. You guys do all this crap and then you get guys like red ranger who locks threads wondering why it was made in the first place. We as customers of your game have full rights to complain if something is going on in a game we play. Especially for the people who pay to play this game. People wonder why so many Requiem players either are just always being smart asses with CMs/GMs all the time or have long quit by now. Look in the forums every once in a while.

You guys change things that need no change at all and don't fix what we say is broken. Take the old Stretching Trees glitch as an example. You know the glitch that was just finally fixed a few months ago although it has been going on for years. Instead you give us nerfs noone asked for. Changes noone wanted and thread locks and wonder why people get pissed.

the changes that almost happened to 75 gear is another great example of this. noone asked for it and noone wanted it. yet somehow it came so close to happening people had to have a -_- fit on forums for a week before minds where changed.

I'm not trying to hate on you guys at all trust me. But you guys want players to stay and more players to play. You should try and actually listen to the people who play your game on a daily bases.

Well in the true spirit of this thread, I liked the old trees better...

The new ones stick up through the bridge in dark forest and look like unimaginable tentacles of terror.

Lovecraft would be proud, but the Q is not impressed.

Personally i think HH is doin good you get the lant to prepare then the drops then the forge all for you equipment maybe the rates aren't the best but thats not the games problem they are nice to even have that. you complain cause things arent easy enough but nothing is easy whenever you get close to cap otherwise it becomes pointless. If you want more players to join make new things more options new areas monsters etc. If you want veteran players to keep playing make it so they have a reason, And not just to twink out their toons. Also the game could use a change in currency amounts i think cause lant goes fast and isnt easy to get back anymore :D just food for thought you know.

uh yah it is...the drop settings are crap....as is lant drop...they can be EASILY fixed in game

they are nice to even have that.

its nice for them to have lant drop? and more items drop? what? should mobs drop nothing at all?

you complain cause things arent easy enough but nothing is easy whenever you get close to cap otherwise it becomes pointless.

no...we complain because the system was working perfectly fine before...there was no reason to change it to the new HH system...ever heard of the saying if its not broke dont fix it?

If you want more players to join make new things more options new areas monsters etc. If you want veteran players to keep playing make it so they have a reason

no...if you want new players to join you need to advertise the game...and fix all the bugs/lag/crashing....
the veterans on the other hand need ^ that AND new areas and mobs

Also the game could use a change in currency amounts i think cause lant goes fast and isnt easy to get back anymore :D just food for thought you know.

huh?
