Important Word from Bichon Council!

Or you could reward how long we kept the lanterns lit overall time during the event with an X amount of days of double exp thereafter. This will allow players to 100% focus on the event madness rather than split it between levelling and event :P

Jekyls and their pumpkins of tricks
Jekyls will spawn across Bichon, it is said that their heads are either gifted or cursed, take a chance and try one! Will you be tricked? Or treated?



​

Are these just across Bichon or throughout all of the provinces?
If its just Bichon can you ensure your spawn rates are high enough to compete with the players.

I'm not suggesting everyone has the same feeling but with these sort of things I prefer to find loads of them with little chance for a treat rather than search for 50minutes just to find 3.

Another very good reason not to have double exp

Meh, would have liked the event to be aimed at groups or stuff, might have come back for that.

Double Exp being there just means everybody splits up and spends 4 days smashing lvl's solo or in 2's for the most part.

Not for me but hope you all have fun.

I think he means that the 24/7 players are already a jump infrint of the others, an event like this allows those 24/7 players to jump even further ahead.

yes ta Raz. the 24/7 always exp pots players will be ahead anyway. Double exp gets the gap between them and rest just too much.

Hmm I disagree. Having double exp is absolutely fine, providing it's an award for participating in the event and is distributed AFTER the event, not during. This encourages participation and makes the event much more enjoyable.

This double XP is the only reason im restarting chronicles and i'm sure im not going to be the only one! bet usercount gets a nice bump up after this event.

I think some of you maybe confused as to how the event is going to work

Lanterns, Invasions and Double EXP
Monsters will attack Bichon (Invasions), these monsters will attack the Lanterns (and try to but them out) players will need to kill the Invasion monsters and restore the lanterns light
If all the lanterns are still lighting at the end of an invasion then the server will go to double exp, if the players fail to stop the invasion and any of the lanterns are out at the end of an invasion then exp will return to normal.

So say after the first invasion, players win and the exp rate goes to double, if players choose to level during the next invasion and fail to stop it, then exp will return to normal

Jekyls and their pumpkins of tricks
There will spawn around Bichon and will drop their heads, these heads when clicked will give you a trick or a treat

Souls of dead kings
On killing some bosses (in their temples) a Soul of that boss may spawn in Bichon

how often between each invasion? i'm guessing they'll be random - but do you have a time span like they'll be between 1 - 3 hours apart.

Still seems to have the problem that players who play off peak times or in different time zones may not be able to get double exp. IE only 15 active people on the server, event is impossible for the few that are on at that time, no double exp for the players at that time, compared to peak time, 200 active players, 50 do the event and 150 people who just happen to be on at that time get the benefit of double exp.

For a game hosted and run from Europe I guess that's just tough luck.
People who play off peak already benefit from lower player count so higher mob count and more boss/sub boss capabilities.

On peak you may never find a WG in WoomaTemple off peak you will find 5..
Cant have it all ways.

Where there invasions in the middle of the night during our last event?
Did any of the Lords spawn at 4am?

Have a little fate

Sounds great, just wanted to point out a potential challenge, thanks for the response!

 

[Unseen0202]

User count isnt going to increase now lots of people was expecting x2 xp

There is still x2 xp, players just have to take part in the event in order to keep it that way for the whole event.

Dont much like exp events but I like this idea. So earn an xp boost individually like quests do?

It's global

Win the invasion, global exp goes/stays at x2 until the next invasion.
Lose the invasion, global exp goes back to normal until the next invasion.

If players win the first invasion and choose to ignore the next one, they run the risk that everyone else is doing the same as they are. If that is the case, the invasion would be lost and exp would not stay at x2

At the end of the weekend exp returns to normal.

Will the mobs that spawn around Bichon etc have fairly nice exp for new comers to get back into the game ?

 

[muffinpie]

Quick question, the exp is currently 1.5x what it was at the start of the server so is it going to be x2 what it is now (essentially x3) or x2 of original server exp?

I hope this does not mean that the "off peak" players will have double exp with no invasions to risk taking that double exp away.

That would be very unfair on the "on peak" player that not only has to share hunting grounds with many many other people but also has a larger risk of losing the exp bonus?

If there are to be no invasions through the night then could you please post what time the last one will be each evening so that I can ensure the lanterns all go out so that these off peak players don't get free bonuses.
