Just a question.
If i log take this vit buff and log the next day back after 24 hrs and take it again will this count 4 hours or just 2?
woot ya nc - bet the same mr/mrs that came up with this master plan sends his/her kids to the dentist with the promise of a bowl of sugar if they behave !
sad thing is it will possibly work on a temporary basis ;-P
The NPC gives out buffs on a universal time. That means that at (I think it happens at) 11pm PDT every day, he resets and will give out buffs again. He will detect whether or not you already received your buff that day.
So in the scenario you propose, you log in on Tuesday afternoon and get your 'Tuesday buff', then log out overnight, you will still have the Tuesday buff when you log back in on Wednesday. After you use up the Tuesday buff, you can get the Wednesday buff. There is a system message that will tell you when you get can your next buff. (x hours, x minutes, x seconds)
So technically, if you plan your time carefully, you could get 4 hours of vitality buff back-to-back, but of course you would have to come back to town to get the 2nd buff.
While you won't receive any additional bonus by having the Birthday Buff and the Gift of Vitality at the same time, the buffs don't override each other. So if, for some reason, you obtained the Gift of Vitality while you have a Birthday Buff on, you won't lose either buff.

Didn't think it would overide... just with the vit event lots of people are going to be grinding in good exp spots and normally was planning a very good 12 hours of exp, but with higher demand for the best spots than the B-day buff would rather be a waste for these 2 weeks, of course not as bad as the last vit event but still... it is a rather bad time to have a b-day buff as far as timing goes.
I like this event, this means every character on my accounts get 2 hour buffs.
I have 7 on bartz and 7 on sayha and 7 on phenoix, and there's only 24 hours a day.
Dang, I gotta figure out, which characters I should focus on then.
Anyway, love the idea.
But we'll see how the event actually will go.
Ha, Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH NCsoft,
and u guys said what? stop complaining, stop that stop this they wont do anything ))) and loook at this 2 weeks of 2hrs vitality weeee ha ))) i neeed vacation from my work

ed... birthday buff, this saturday, elpy this next week (event if i'(m euro, and then gmt+2, i prolly won't see any elpy...), and then vita event... and only 65% to lvl 85... could u increase max lvl pls? :D

Tnx ! Its a realy, realy good news! I loved vita event for valentine day, got lvl up, Now i hope i will be 80 in the end of those 2 weeks, otherwise that would took me atleast 2 months from now.
Anyways, thanks alot !
If you have vit 0 and then take the 2 hr buff to go to vit 4, at the end of the 2 hrs does it drop back to vit 0 (or whatever your previous vit lvl was) or will it just start dropping from vit 4?
i am pretty sure it would stay at lvl 4 until the buff is gone, then start going down. otherwhise there would be no need for a buff, because the npc would just set you to vitality 4 and then u start dropping down.

I would think so, but its just to know if I would be playing only 2 hrs at vit 4 or 3 hrs to drop it all the way from 4 to 0 and plan my day :)

I would suggest the NPC that gives vitality buffs should be permanent. It would make the life easier of the ppl that have a busy life and bring some old players that cant get their lvls to catch the high lvl ppl.
Also, it could make the retail more intersting to ppl that play on private servers. Some of them play on the private becouse of the suport (better than NCSOFT) and becouse they are mid rate, and it means u dont need grind hours to get 0,10% on a high lvl.

As much as I love this suggestion... I made 30% last night in 2 hours.. soooo I don't see this staying. Maybe having it get the 2 hour buff once a week, would be awesome. Not totally advantageous, but it would allow for people to close the gap when they know they can get 2 hours of good xp.

Looking forward to some Grinding Friday/Saturday as I get my BDay buff on Friday along with Vit Buffs, then the Bday buff will still be on me when I log so Satuday after OT at work I come home finish B Day buff and then get another Vit Buffs for 14 hours of Vit Level 4 constantly... <3
Would be nice to have this going untill Freya, as most content and as the NPC says we are preparing for it. ;)
Many people are on level 79 as with this many would hit 80 Untill Freya comes.
Will be nice when everyone sells of there Dynasty sets that there are people that will buy it :D
I have a birthday buff coming up so I am in the clear :D even with my time to grind, but still :)
Good event but nice way to lose your Vit buff by logging out and logging back in with no buff after only having it for 10 minutes. Its great to lose all that Exp.
Where are people getting 1 hour CoV from. I haven't seen anything that told me I could get CoV for 1 hour anywhere. I'd like some of that, too...
I think they were talking about the GM buffs during the Elpy event.
but vitality buff getting removed by Soul hounds is stupid...
next time use your brains while making event...
You can't steal Birthday/Vita buffs. Not with Kamael, or Buff Steal Tailsman... In fact, I'm pretty sure it can't be canceled off anymore either, so no idea what your talking about.

dunno 2 days ago Soul Hound attacked to me.. and all buffs gone including vita buff (remaining 36-37 minute)
OK, was thinking you meant 80+, but 78 is very good to do yeah :)
+1
fixed the smiley for you...
Haha 35% in 79+ would be pretty impressive in 2 hours. Ive been able to consistently do 10% during the buff and working off remaining vitality with 2 in group. I could probably do about 15% solo...but that is really confined to only the Titan or Dread class. Dont think dorfs can kill fast enough to keep up with that pace.
Btw this part of the Event is fantastic. Exp zones are pretty crowded but oh well. I will have gotten my Dread from 76 to half way from 80 --> 81 in event with 2-3 people grouped the entire time. Ill take it! Would be cool to do this maybe 1 week every 3 months or so.

Regarding 10% in 2 hours on level 79, that is available to only some classes. I can do around 2%, but lets not forget that the buff restores vita to 4 when it is taken no matter previous levels, so, playing intelligently, you can get 3% or more a day with just about any class in an average of 1% an hour, that is 6 times more exp a day than I am doing normally (dont play with vita under 3).

Mobs can still cancel them... Lost the buff once with more than 1 hour still to go... :(
This event will begin with the server maintenance on June 15, 2010. It will end with the server maintenance on June 29, 2010, at which time the NPC will be removed. Any remaining time on event buffs that your character still has after the end of the event maintenance will expire normally.

Depends a lot on what oop support you have. I do ~3% per hour poling on my BD @ 80 (so average 6% per buff) and then a bit more burning the vit down to 0. Granted I have good oop support, but if you can get yourself into a decent (and small) aoe group then you should be able to improve your xp gain.

lol other then this event i dont think ive had lvl 3 vit since last event, lvl 2 and maybe 30% at most at any time it just goes away so fast anyways less then 10 mins i would say and im at zero agin
I agree with that other guy, the 2 hour per day vit buff should stay in game permanently. Would go a long way toward keeping players around and bringing back old ones and possibly new ones.

no, because everyone would be 85 then, and most people would quit as they have nothing else to do. a bunch of 85 under geared chars wont have fun at end game, cant farm oly, wont have adena to enchant skills, etc.
the event buff was an excellent way to boost people up before the release of freya. it did its job. if people were smart about how they used the buff then they had excellent benefits from it. the goal was to get 80 and 81 lvl ppl up to 82 to enjoy the new content. putting a permanent feature in like vit 4 2 hours every day would make this too much like a private server.
that's true.
also the health risks involved with the 2 hour buff causes non hardcore players to play for extended periods of time...
they're not cut out for all that sitting,
it's dangerous.
If it becomes a common part if Lineage 2, people wouldn't mind letting the buff go to waste. It's when it's not permanent that people spend extra amounts of time on the game.

This is very true. I, for one, would concider a 2 hour buff once per day a better option than a full Vit4 bar that only lasts for a fraction of that time when you start hunting.
Perhaps something like the vitality buff but not quite as good. Something that would help but not too much and not encourage unhealthy play. Maybe the town adventure guide could simply boost you to vit4 each day without the buff to hold it in place for 2 hours. That might be something nice without being too much.

I would appreciate any bone at this point. I missed the first week of the Vit event, so I spent too much time playing the second week to make up for it ~.~
i still consider vit a luxury. its a reward to help you level faster if you couldnt play for a couple days.
imo, there shouldnt be any vit 4 once per day or anything like it. the increase in xp and party xp bonus in HF will more than fix xp problems, and you wont see people duoing or trioing when a larger party is better to take.

I disagree. There are still going to be duo and trio party all over the place as all level 76+ mobs are going to have extra XP anyway. The only place it will benefit to have a larger party is the new Dragon Valley (and other spots if they change them to a Dragon Valley type set up)
I like the vit events but I found two hours a day to still be a little too much. esp. when I'm trying to use in on two toons. Didn't have time to use it every day.
Giving vit for only 1 hour would be good. Then spend a little more time working off the vit4 would be enough imo.

Afaik, it doesn't countdown when u're offline...so, 2 hours are perfect for me.

Most people already quit because they get tired of the grind, hence the very small populations. This game, despite predating WoW, is still one of the most graphically beautiful and smoothest running mmo's in existence, but since day one the high level grind has killed its appeal to a large chunk of the western player base. I have quit and come back four times since 2004, and rarely do I ever make it past 70, i just have too much ADD for the mindless grind in this game, nevermind that I enjoy the game itself immensely.
Not to mention, the vast majority of the steady playing population is already 80+.

Plus, some ppl that gave a break in game dont want come back becouse the gap between lvl 78 to 82+ is toooooooo much, so they just give up definetly.
Nobody mentioned that 2 hour vit buff gives a little bit more than "only 2 hours vit 4 lvl".
This buff actually restores vitality to 4 level, and when buff vanishes you can grind down vitality to 0 level.
For non pole/mass or other ultra exp person to fully use of vit buff, he has to play ~3h+:
1. when login, exhaust vitality which was gathered because of logof time - ~20 minutes
2. 2 hours of vit buff
3. 1 hour+ to exhaust vitality from 4lvl to 0lvl.
For me to be enough just replenish vitality to 4 level each day :)
That's right, everybody! The Gift of Vitality event is back for one more week! :D
We're bringing this event to you for many reasons:
Because we received such positive feedback from the first Gift of Vitality event, we've brought it back for your enjoyment.
A few weeks ago, during the first Gift of Vitality event, there was a full day when nearly every server suffered from repeated crashing. We decided to run the Vitality event one more week to make up for any inconvenience those server crashes may have caused.
Quite simply, we know you love vitality! So here is some more of it for you to enjoy! :)

i was kind of wondering if the extended vit event was in regards to the outraging going on here on the forums. but i gave them the benefit of the doubt that it wasnt...
Its times like this I wish I wasn't working 56+hrs a week :p
I would love to see consumable XP items available (instead of buffs) for those of us who can't play for long periods of time, but grats to everyone who can XP during this week :)
