Can u please assure the L2 commuity that the event is going as intended? I am somewhat confused as to the overall intentions of the event? It appears to be described as an XP-Vitality event but it is extremely difficult to see this...
The fact that many cannot even get the bonus (due to not being logged on at the correct time) seems to many quite unfair, especially if they have contributed by opening seeds during the hours they were able to play.
The initial Chest Rewards (Single Scroll) was rather unsettling; who thought of that idea as a reward for opening seeds to full bar status? As you are well aware many classes cannot even use the scrolls or trade them.
Overall, any event is good, but when expectation is greater than truth it is very disappointing. So please Lyzira, is the event doing what it was intended?
by the lack os post's, look's like Lyzira was thinking this was a great reward...and all NC team is right now discussing and trying to understand what went wrong :\ ... a might scroll, what's not to like? :x
Let's let the whole event play out and then we can make more rational judgments about whether or not we like it.
Ya know, I wait until the next day to decide whether or not a blind date was fun. Sometimes they start out awkward but by the end of the evening...well, who cares if the start was awkward when the end was hot and sexxie!

Yea but this is NC we are talking about. At the end of the blind date she will take you to her apartment and introduce you to her boyfriend lol.
Dude ... on my server people aren't even bothering picking up (much less killing) the event items after yesterday's yay you win a shield scroll hillarity

You do realize that if no one had complained we'd probably still crash every time someone opens a seed, and neeever get the day's goal.
So far this event has done nothing but get my expectations high, lag me out, and clutter up my inventory with stuff I have NO use for. I'm not a complainer by the way, this is the first event I complain about.
Also:
Dear NC. WTF BUFFSCROLLS?! Bartz reached the goal yesterday and everyone got a shield or death whisper buff scroll. Seriously?! You do realize that those scrolls are completely useles for 90% of the game population, right? Aside from the fact that by now pretty much everyone has access to a boxed buffer, those buffs aren't even useful to half the classes in the game! No mage has use for death whisper! Most mages learn 'shield' themselves! And what's with the certificates? Do you realize that most of us have to be really stingy with inventory and warehouse space? Why clutter us up with useles untradable items?
This is the same situation we had with the enchant scrolls. People did not hate enchant scrolls. They hated that the enchant scrolls were low grade. People do not hate buff potions, they hate that they are low grade. If you -have- to make buff pots/scrolls - why not make a prophecy scroll that lasts for 20 mins? PoWind for 20 mins would be -awesome- for a lot people that don't have a prophecy buffer (even for those that do it'd be cool). Do you really think it would damage the game to give people something useful? It's an event, it's supposed to be special.
You can click and drag items from your inventory onto the little trash can logo and dispose of them, or drop them on the ground. It takes less time to do that then it does to write a post on the forums.
I'm sorry if my earlier post upset you, please accept my apologies. It was not directed at you.
We understand that not everyone is satisfied with the rewards and we've absolutely heard your feedback on the subject. The chest reward for day 6 is different than the rewards for Day 10 and 14 and as we've mentioned before, the rewards for the event get better towards the end. This is a two week long event.
This event is something that is brand new and we are excited to be checking it out. Once the event is over, the feedback from this event will affect future event creation.

typical PR response...
im sorry lyz, but you didnt even touch on the fact that the day 6 reward is something as useless as a buff scroll. ncsoft knows the state that L2 is in, they know the lvl range of most players (this is a fact due to g+ info), but yet you guys still give these worthless event rewards that no one will ever use.
why dont you guys take event ideas from the players for a month and then give us an event that we designed. we play the game. and i guarantee you that we know what we would like to see in an event far better than the ncwest devs who fail at programming. im not trying to flame, but ncsoft has never listened to the NA players. maybe if you want to be taken serious by most of us, and get people back onto the official forums, you should ask for the players input and then publicize it in game via an announcement in light blue.
i know you are going to come back and say that you did listen to everyones request for a vit event, and you did. but you did it in a way that is insulting to everyone who plays. we have used vit pops, birthday buffs, and have had vit 4. a 30-40% boost is a joke. now instead of 100 hours to get 81, i can spend 60-70. this isnt very helpful, nor are the worthless rewards.
Hopefully future events have better rewards, I understand this is pretty much test-try until you got the right event with the right reward, and the rewards at the end of this event are adjust to reflect our current l2 community...
will the coming rewards include those precious EAD scrolls and might/shield juice? they r a MUST!!
Especially for people who don't bot, right? And only people who bot can afford EAD normally, so the events are uber, super, duper, extremely, fricking awesome! Wait, I thought only botters benefit from the events? I'm getting dizzy here....

calm yourself! those 3573719871 EAD scrolls are coming your way soon!

I can't wait until day 10 gives us the delightful EAD/EWD etc....
ppl stop bothering doing the seeds. Especially because the spirits themselves aren't dropping anyhting useful.
Next time if you do something like you did with the greater healing potion clone, just use the exact same item so it doesn't use up 2 different inventory slots.

You do know that majority of players are over 70 on their main characters? I mean I'm a Storm Screamer..What am I going to do with a HASTE scroll! Okay i get that its the first reward,but come on make it something I can at least USE since I can't sell it! I would not be surprised to get more EWD,as if my cubes don't puke those out everyday. I'm freaking S grade I need something I can use already!

We will always probably have a variety of event rewards as well, some of which may not be as desirable as others.

OMGLMAOROFL seriously april fools was months ago, and a way better event, seems like someone got these 2 events mixed up and gave us the joke one 4 months too late...
Now that things are going good, i just have two things to say.
The bless of eva window is too small. About the prizes, well i think they are ok, only problem is that they are not even freightable, what turns most of the pots useless..

Agreed - where I think this event failed (not counting the bugs that were happening during the start of the event, honestly someone should loose their job over that) is the rewards that you got and the "xp bonus" system where you had to be online when it happened - instead it should have been a shadow type of reward that you had to get from the NPC, or something like that.
With a player base as advanced as it is, the rewards should have been something worth it. For example, if this event happened 3 years ago, then people could not be complaining as much about the types of rewards as they are now. Shield/DW scrolls are basically worthless and a slap in the face considering Newbie buffs and that a lot of people have buffer accounts. If they would have had for example 30 min POW, COV, etc buff, etc I think that people would have enjoyed the rewards a lot more and would have slowed down the "WTF NC" posts.
While I give NC credit for coming up with a new kind of event which a lot of people were looking forward to and also how they promoted it - the end result is that they ****** off nearly everyone with the lack of concern of the reality of the rewards for the player base.
I would not complain a lot if i could transfer the pots to other toon in my account or give them to a player who could take a benefit of them!
Thats my point, almost all last events over 1 year gave things nobody need anymore, if you get them ok you get others ppl even destroy or send to midle of town like the blue cubics!

Hello,
While you may want to make the day 6 small chest a useless gift by design and raise the prizes afterwards, I'm not sure the xp bonus was meant to be less desirable because of the hour it triggers.
Also, desirable or less desirable, if you take time to create the event (on Korean side), adapt it here and tease us... it has to be somewhat useful/desirable/fun... otherwise it's a waste of time. Or is it art?
Some players don't like the salvation bow events where you shoot hearts at cute animals. But everybody can choose to take part or not. And if you take part, there's a nice prize. In the present event, the players don't have the choice to take part or not. The reward triggers when they sleep. That's not cool. :/
So take notes and adjust it, because right now it's a lot of wind but nothing concrete.
Also, lags are back for a lot of players. Not everyone though. Yesterday I did a powerpoint kama 81 and took a nap at HB because of lag. Other players were complaining too. There were no more lag once the bar was filled. Maybe because people stopped doing their seeds.

You might not be high level,BUT most of us are and we could use anything to help us out and maybe save us some adena cause its not cheap to play.

We "payed" for this event with 3 days of unplayable game. The game kept crashing, servers kept getting restarted for.... THIS?!
If they wanted to give everyone 100 free untradable ghps, 3 qhp and a buff scroll they could've just done that without making the game unplayable for a few days. We're here to play the game, not the events. Events are a nice bonus on top of everything, but if they break more then they reward you with, something's wrong, and NCwest needs to start thinking about what they can and can't handle. Just as an example: in just one solid 3 hour HB party you make more then enough money to buy 3 times the ghps, buff juices, ect that you'll make from the event in the entire 2 weeks. This event took 3 days from us. Not everyone can access HB, but the vast majority of the active playerbase are high enough level to hunt in a spot that would've given way more rewards in the 3 lost days then this event will.

You can't delete or drop or trade the certificate.
Alas, we still have lots of lag on Teon. Yesterday already. Tonight it started nicely for me (other players were lagging), now everybody lags. :/
Join Phoenix!! No laggness here or that im having to deal with :D
