A 14 day event, and I will miss the big reward because I will be out of the country the last 3 days. Too much of the event rewards are based on being logged in at a certain time. This is a bad design.
How about just putting the reward chest in our warehouse?
I've been unable to log in during the entire event due to extenuating real life circumstances (I could have sworn I canceled my subscription, but it keeps giving me free time, just like AOL).
I'm not complaining about how unfair it is. It's just the way things go.
So, I suppose, enjoy your time in game while you can.
I guess I was too subtle, and you guys missed my point.
Getting the bonus XP and chest rewards depend on whether you are logged on at the right time, and not on directly much you participate in this event. That is a bad design.
I would prefer to see the rewards get spread out. The XP bonus should be the same every day, so those playing on day 1 get the same bonus as people playing on day 14. Perhaps a chest of vita-pops every day your server makes its goal. You could open the chest on your schedule.
Perhaps a big reward could be handed out if your server meets its goal 7 out of 14 days. NCSoft could provide 1 reward per account, in the warehouse of your highest level toon. It should be tradable.
I am sure the players could come up with a much fairer system than we had for this event. Maybe they should have a contest where players make event suggestions, and the community votes on it.

most here would vote for an event like: kill 2 elpys, 3 worker ants, 4 doom knights and 5 antelopes and get reward "scroll: increase your lvl to 85 and 100%". if u do it within 3 days u get an extra vesper armor set including +16 vesper weapon. oh wait, that still sucks, cause u would have to port to TI, gludio, aden and goddard... thats way to expensive!!

No, people who want that aren't here. They're already playing on 500x and have been for a long time.
Many people here want everything right now and for doing nothing.
I wonder how those guys manage to get through real life..
Not including Tsili (http://boards.lineage2.com/member.php?u=83151) with this, he made his point clear and i also agree with him. Only getting the big reward on one day must be discouraging for a lot of players. especially since everyone contributed.
I think Tsili's point is....All euro's use the seeds, and almost fill up the bar......then the americans log in, and fill up the last little bit and get the reward for the euro's work.
Which is a bit unfair.....but on the bright side....I wouldn't want the xp bonus if my life depended on it...I already have an SP shortage as it is....
If you cant be online in game then it is your loss and not bad design. bad design was when event was resetting at most playtime and that red bar was filled and time when normal people sleep and only bots exp ( sorry other time zone players).
EatTheRich is totally correct what would be the wish of people as event reward. and no, those who want that (90% of those who arent there?) are not playing on x500 servers because they play here ( i think this is the war between private and official servers) and want to pawn everyone but dont want to rise their toons so cry all day in boards about lolipops ( no offense people)
That gives me an idea about event :D
"the Day of disaster"
duration: max 1 day as it kills everything actually.... must be weekend
event reward: the end of the day and rollback to previous day xD i think after all day in such mess everyone would get releaved that this comes to end :D
the event itself:
everyone knows about the event from before and leaves their char which they want to use on event day. (cry me a river about 1 char limitations)
users get 85 lvl, sets+6 (s84?) and weapons (+15?) (find them in wh or inventory when login according to class they leave (even if its sub?))
no point to exp all day because of rollback - means no bots
chance to get end game pvp (need to think about epics)
i would say no SP , but this is bad because those who have their skill enchanted are already in advantage and this wouldnt allow lowbies who got lvl85 and are without enchanted skills have equal chances with those who are 85 already them self and have 15+ enchanted skills :)
so all day at high end basically only for pvp.
somehow it reminds me pts....
bah, bad idea, got bored of this event already :D
why people are so exited about being 85 lvl100%?
