This is just a suggestion, but I really enjoyed the 2x event we had. I'd love to get some more of those here and there, maybe bi-weekly, or for a certain hour every day (the hour changes according to timezone differences). Or maybe 2x activates when a certain number of people go online, (not my idea, it's from another server) Share your thoughts please!
True, good thing we have constant 4x exp then. In my opinion 2x events are OK to compensate for very long downtime/rollbacks, but not to be held very often - if at all - purely for the sake of having 8x exp. By the way, how is "once weekly" seldom?
I'd like to point out that the 2x the other day was not an event and merely compensation for a rollback. I don't really see the need for 2x exp in any other scenarios. Maybe something like 1.25x or 1.5x events could be a possibility, but they would likely to be not very often. Nonetheless... I still don't really see any need for exp events as they usually cause hassle, unfairness due to time zones, and the whole point is for this server to have a 4x exp rate.
Personally if people want 2x that badly, we should try and get 2x cards(accurate time too, such as 4hour per day, or just 2 hour cards) in the CS working so that those who really want 2x can buy it, that way it alleviates the need for "2x events" that fall in specific time zones that are deemed unfair to some.
I say this, but nerf them to like 1.25x or 1.5x and make them hella expensive so that people have to REALLY REALLY want the boost to use them. That is, if you implement anything at all. I'm also 100% fine with leaving everything as is.
The idea about 2x exp card is quite good, but instead of nerf, maybe make a limit on them? Like do so you can only buy once a week or like once a month, instead of doing 2x exp event on a time schedule, you can also do so each player get a exp card, when they enter the cs. But to agreet with Matt 2x exp cards / events ain't a need. The server rates are 4x exp. It easy enought but ye. I support this idea for players "like" me who doesn't have the time to play or nolife grinding.
If we are going to do something then maybe a 1.25x 1.5x event every other weekend on one day for like 6 hours.
I wouldn't say REALLY expensive But you could make them a tad more expensive, and nerf them. It does eliminate a lot of problems and make some people more satisfied players.
I'm really supporting the idea of enabling a 1.5x card, or something along the lines. Costs NX so nobody'll abuse it, and it'll give a much needed training boost to those who are just a tad less patient
we didn't have 2x events on GMS very often...So I'd say that if this was something that the admins ever agreed to doing, that it should be monthly or every 6 weeks or so. I also had the idea that maybe it could be a donation thing..where when someone donates, say $50 or $100, we get 6 hours of 2x (or 1.5x) for the whole server.
2x Events are more common on GMS these days than back in v62 etc. In fact I hardly remember any back then. I'm also on board for the whole 1.5x cash shop cards. I think the 10k mark would be a reasonable price. I also think it would be important to make sure they are untradeable / undroppable since I know you can trade other NX items - this would prevent people making mule accounts and voting with different IP addresses to get more cards. OR - But i know Matt doesn't really want to give unfair advantages to voters - but maybe if you vote you could get 1.25x cards or something for every 10GBP. The server could really use some more donations, and at least it's not giving people godly weapons or anything, they'd still need to get their gear like everyone else! They'd just get a little leveling booster.
This actually sounds like a great idea IMO. Giving the server like the first week of the month 2x exp if we manage to make the previous month's Donation Goal, that way Matt can save some money and we can get a nice perk.
I wouldn't like to see working 2x exp cards for sale in the cash shop, nerfed rate or not, because I think this would lead to a rise in vote abuse. This wouldn't be fair on legit players. I'm happy enough without 2x events, but if we're going to have them, I think being able to claim a freebie untradeable 4-hour card from the cash shop once a month per account would be good. Having the choice of it being a 2x exp card OR a 2x drop card would be even better IMO, as I'd go for the 2x drop every time, lol! What I would really hate would be regular 2x events on a set day of the week/month - when we had those on a weekly basis in another MMORPG, a lot of people I knew ended up almost hating 2x events, because they felt they *ought* to take advantage of 2x exp and grind hard, whether they were in the mood to grind or not. That's why I'd prefer a 4 hour card to be used anytime within a month over whole-server 2x events on a set day/date.
