So, on sayha server it is 3am central time, and we have 2 bars done on our meter. So i take it we wont get the bonus 10% exp for the day. Lyzira, can you tell me if lower pop servers were taken into consideration when this event was set up?

If the "event day" is 24h from server maintenance yesterday (i.e. the event will go until server downtime in 2 weeks), it is now 7 hours to go on Phoenix, and we have 3 bars done on the progress meter (so 70% to go in 30% of 24 hours, and server prime time in both Europe and the US is over). So it is not only low population servers which have a problem.
dont come crying on the forums. 1st day Blessing is only +10% exp anyway...Bet the guy wants to be compensated with Revita-pops too lol.
Uhm i wasnt crying in any shape, fashion, form of the word, i simply asked a question, and i dont want revita pops i just want the event to be something we can actually acheive
that said now ill QQ
So i guess NCSoft is so stingy with the free xp they make it almost impossible for even a well populated server to complete the event on the first day?

Devianne, only THE FIRST bar is nearly ready. THE FIRST, not the second... you're ahead of us...
I'll make sure I quote next time I reply to that fool again. Anyway, I'll say it once more and maybe both of you will understand it this time.
The bar progresses as ppl use the fire seeds. If noone uses them, nothing happens to the bar.
This is the first day of the event. The seeds are a sellable item. People are hoarding them until they know what they are worth.
NCsoft put the seeds in game. Now its up to us what we wanna do with them. Or do you guys want GM's to run around and force ppl to use them?
If you have trouble understanding this, ask a friend who is better at reading and understanding english to read what I posted before, and then have them explain it to you.

I can tell ya what they worth. I got like 65 seeds (65 normal, 13 big ones). All I got out of 65 normal seeds was: 15 QHP, 65 GHP, and 55 Power juices. As for 13 big ones, I only used 3 - all gave me +10hp%, reflect dmg, -20% reuse time for 5 hours passives.

You didnt tell me what they are worth. Adena amount per seed pls. Has your servers price for seeds already stabilized? Thats pretty fast.
I also wasnt asking for the price of the seeds, but rather explaining why ppl are unwilling to use them on the first day, which is why the progress bar isnt really moving very fast.

It is more a design flaw of the event. Server population of live players is mainly high level these days, so people party in places with high lvl, high hp mobs. Those have a bad drop rate of event items/hour.The "players" who get the most items are the lower lvl farmers, and they have no interest in using the items, because the event rewards are not good for them. So the only way the event meter will go up is if people buy event stuff from farmers, and why would they? Most of the rewards are crap, the chances of getting something very good are low, it is much easier to just use the few items you get from hunting and wait for somebody else to finally fill up that meter. I'd guess we will fill up the meter in the last few days of the event, when the seeds will be dumped onto the market at super low prices before they disappear.
There is a toon in Giran on Sayha, selling the small seeds for 1 mill and the explosive for 3 mill. Buying was at 50k for explosive and 10k for small seeds.
Are you really expecting most ppl in the community to know that? When ppl cant even read a simple event description to figure out why the progress bar is moving so slowly?

I read the your reply (first line on worth) incorrectly, I do apologize. Since most of Giran shops are down due to the crashes I am unsure of worth at this time. I have been using mine that I have gotten today, not big givers of items though. :) Again, I do apologize.
Ok smittie, you obviously missed the point, it has NOTHING to do with reading comprehension. The inherent flaw in the event this time is that the devs have placed an amount of seed souls that need to be killed on a particular day, so high, that no one would be able to save/sell the seeds as a result. This is something that they should understand if the KNEW ANYHTHING about the game they manage. So are you telling me that they purposefully made this event impossible for us to acheive the daily goals, knowing that the majority of people would be holding their seeds to sell? If they understood the market system of their own game, they would realize this and adjust the amount needed for us to actually get the world bonuses... AND YES THAT MEANS EVEN ON THE FIRST DAY.
So smittie, i understand that more people need to use their seeds, the point i was making was: Gee do you think ncsoft really wants us to get that bonus? They certainly made it easy enough!

Just do what I do and take a Break during events and don't play.... that way you won't have any stress :)
actually it may be a good idea, by now everyone knows that these idiots can't organise a proper event and every time they do the lag kills every server.
Take a break, relax ... go out for a change if you can still reach the door ( good luck moving all those pizza boxes out of the way ... ), get a job etc ... no one needs to play 24/7.
Also some people are indeed stupid and their ideas crazy, the one you were offered is actually quite sensible.
Actually the event doesnt have me stressed at all, i just wanted to make sure smittie was able to fully comprehend what i was saying, seems his forcast for reading comprehension is coming true if he has to fulfill it himself...
Its a failure of the playerbase to make this event not work, but you are too blind to see it.
You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink :D
What playerbase? The only part of the playerbase (on teon at least) that is out killing mobs are the ones not using the regular lineage 2 client. Cause regular lineage 2 client = dc/crit/lag/death.
And those don't really care about events and leveling the event collection bar or whatever.
It's still a failure of the playerbase, I dont care what the bots on Teon do, or dont do, for you.
NCsoft gives us the event, its up to us to get it going. You cant blame NCsoft for the playerbase's apathy.
While this may show some merit, if you are Drakkos or a blind parrot ( same thing ), it certainly makes no sense.
Many people can actually read a description and it's obvious you need to kill a certain number of those things every day. That limit may well be achievable on the Koreans servers , but here I very much doubt it.
I don't think many people would even bother to open the seeds, now or whenever.
the 10% and 20% exp bonus is rubbish anyway, nothing to get excited about.
Also, this does not explain the lag and dc most of us get.
This event was a rubbish idea from the very beginning and has nothing to do with the community being unable to read ...
All hail king Smittie, he seems to think he's the only one who what the event is about, the rest of us ... don't have a clue.

Sorry for trying to explain to ppl why the event isnt going as planned.
Next time I'll leave you blind morons in the dark.
But go ahead, blame NCsoft for everything.
Suggestion: Stop giving these ungrateful s any more events, they dont deserve them, and you cant make them happy anyway.
Your definition and my definition of epic are miles apart lol. You must be easily amused.
Well, I very rarely observe such stuff in such amounts. YMMV, of course :p
I think the easy prediciton is the fire seeds will be like small squash seeds just worthless and the large will have a chance of dropping the vitality potions and will be highly coveted...thank you guy who had 50 and 13 seeds and thought using 3 of the fire seeds gave a good sample!

Why we should eat everything what they give to us? I quite shure that in Korea wasnt such troubles with this kind of events.
I think this event should be a red alarm to all NCwest team that they do something wrong and they have to make some changes ... i dont wanna watch like NA l2 becomes dead.
Suggestion: always demand bigger becouse if you stop you'll be behind.

You say this because you clearly don#t understand how these guys (Smittie, Drakkos etc ) function ...
God forbid you demand better service, god forbid you make sensible suggestions ... that's a big no no, you should be happy with what you get and if you are not than it's your own **** fault. It's never NCSoft ... no., it's always us.
P.S. This reminds me of the moron who posted that bots should be left alone because they keep L2 alive ... some people are really that dumb !
ppl are not supposed to opening them in town.
When u do, all ppl around the mob get the glowing hands. Because this was coded as the ppl around are SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING THE MOB AT THE TIME they never thought that the glowing hands would go on ppl who are sitting in store. This is causing the crit error. If you dont want the crit error, u must open the event shards either a: out in the no peaceful zones, or b: away from all players in a peaceful zone. Hop this helps.
ps. this event is NOT FOR THE BOATERS..... they cant script to open event shards in their inventory.. if they did, all party members would glowhandz, and all surrounding mobs would kill em lol

Just a correction there ... your hands glow when you take your weapon off. You can't die to mobs unless you actually fight with bare hands ... then yeah you'd die.

Plus you can crit in the middle of no where for no reason just standing there with NO ONE around.
at the moment i guess the only way to get at least some bonuses and eva blessings is for hero shouters to cooperate and agitate players to summon seeds only on the days with best bless bonus, like every 3 days or smth like that. it should work to make the bar full at least few times a week. 2-3 days saving seeds and on lucky day all server uses them. in theory would work, in l2 guess not :D
This is a "cry about bots"-thread now? Go away AntiBot.
Some ppl like to take the easy way out. It's NEVER their fault that they are unhappy with their gaming experience. Its ALWAYS someone else.
Reality check ppl. NCsoft gave us an event, and the players screwed themselves over.
PS. You guys get to put the blame on NCsoft when it actually is their fault. In this particular case it isnt though.
Dude , give it a rest, the game lags , every shop I create crashes after 1-2 minutes and you have the nerve and come here and tell me it's not their fault ? I suppose I create the lag myself just for the sake of it , right ?
It's still a failure of the playerbase, I dont care what the bots on Teon do, or dont do, for you.

No offense, but you're dead wrong.
In fact, this is pretty LOL.
If NCSoft developers actually did a job that deserved their salaries, I'm sure people would not complain so much.
I do love the word "apathy," though. Thanks for that!
You seem to be intentionally playing ignorant of the fact... NCSoft has botched the past 3 events.
Another fact... People have been complaining about lags and disconnects since June (?).
Another fact... Designing events as "serverwide" in a game with such a horrible playerbase (not to mention, LIVE playerbase), where most people rather capitalize on event items than participate (not the players' fault, NCSoft should know their game) is stupid.

You're a funny guy.
180 total posts with 175 of them nothing but insults and snide comments--adding nothing of value, giving no feedback, helping no one at all.
I've gotten twice as many positive 'thank you's' as you have total posts (lmao).
End of the day, you're just another uninformed punk who posts insults at your betters because you don't know anything else.
You'll be gone in a month and not one person will ever be able to say you added anything of value to any discussion.
Your flawlessmikeluna the 2nd. Nobody misses that idiot either.

Ppl are actually complaining about not getting the +10% exp blessing.
I find this extremely funny.
There has already been a post about taking away the event and giving us all Revita-pops lol. And ofc they want them to be freightable.
Tip for NCsoft event management: Next time you do an event, just have every award be Revita-pops, maybe then ppl wont whine as much (there will still be some that whine though, you can never do it 100% right for them).
So, on sayha server it is 3am central time, and we have 2 bars done on our meter. So i take it we wont get the bonus 10% exp for the day. Lyzira, can you tell me if lower pop servers were taken into consideration when this event was set up?
I think with the way the event is now, every server is gonna get screwed. No worries, Phoenix didn't even get past 3 bars because everyone was too scared to crit error, and I also think everyone is just hoarding event items until the last few days.
So is there any way we can get a comment from Lyzira or some other ncwest staff member on this subject?
It would be cool if we had an xp event where we actually got xp bonuses, instead of "oh you guys just arent working together"
I mean at this point i havent heard of anyone on sayha getting a single vitalty pot or xp rune... and the hope of even 10% more xp for an hour is beyond our reach, this is laughable...

Yeah I'm sure they messed up the drops like they did with the pumpkin event. It's all good we should all be happy with greater healing pots and might buff potions right? No server will hit the daily blessing either because evidently we "don't work hard enough"
This event is failing because it's not bot friendly. Think about it, the bots gain absolutely nothing from opening those fire seeds, hell... most of them don't even want the extra exp bonus. So, basically they are hoarding up the seeds, for possible resell when and if the client stops crashing. Leaving it up to "us" ((C) smittie corp) to buy their seeds lol...
For the lube of Jebus, cancel this event so it atleast doesn't crash the client all the time and then reprogram the mechanics behind "daily production goal".
The score value of a spirit is relative to the number of players online. That means that the more players you have the less a spirit is worth. That's ok as long as everyone is participating in killing spirits. But if you have a server population made up of mainly bots that don't participate you get an abnormally low value. In fact the value might be so low that it's not even be possible to complete the event.
Not that I doubt the event might work that way, but where exactly did you get this information?? It would be nice to hear this from one of the NCwest staff.
Well even if this is true, sayha didnt even get to lvl 2 the second day, and i checked all the shops to see how many seeds were being held, and on sayha all the shops added up to 427 reg seeds... this doesnt seem to be enough to make our lvl go all the way to the last bar, if we barely can get the first bar done lol...
Not that I doubt the event might work that way, but where exactly did you get this information?? It would be nice to hear this from one of the NCwest staff.
Just guessing from this:
"Eva recognizes that not all servers have the same number of people and will be rewarding servers based on their effort and not simply the number in their ranks."
If you don't want the server size to matter you have to divide the score with the population.
Maybe they should look at the amounts of seeds laying on the ground, cause some things dont get that id as a valid one to be picked, 80% of the seeds im getting are from those "things"

It has now been 2 days of the event, and ppl have seen the bar only progress 2 or at most 3 steps. The general population now think the goal is unattainable or very close to unattainable.
This leads to even more hoarding. Expect ppl to use more seeds during the days that the blessing/reward actually matter. Not on the first day and most definately not on a 10% exp bonus blessing lol.
