From Gninja on the EQ2 Forums:
The event will be turned back on Friday at 5pm PDT.
That’s 8pm EDT, 01:00 BST, 02:00 CET.
As previously stated, the events will be reset back to 50% complete per server if they’d reached that point. We’re hoping that the event will run for a few days at least so that players get a chance to participate. While the event is running, there are different quests and events to acquire tokens. Once the event concludes, I believe the only way to get tokens between then and Game Update 61 will be a handful of ground spawn harvests.
Those guilds which had participated in epic encounters near the end of this event but couldn’t complete it due to a bug in the encounter got this news from Gninja:
Unfortunately we won’t be able to give retroactive updates. Since the encounter never actually completed we can’t give credit for the kill. We did however roll back the progress on most servers to give ample time for players to take part in the event. The event will not go by as fast as it did before so players should get a chance to participate.
If you happen to not be able to, the event merchants will stick around until GU61 and they will have the teleportation bauble as well as the title on them as purchasable. The only thing you will miss out on is the extra tokens when you completed the last quest.
I take almost few weeks off and miss-out on a few fireworks #shrugs#.
Go away for a weekend and probably won’t even see a game changing event (complete with time-limited rewards).
Charming.
Especially as the druid ring event lasted over a month, same for the wizard spires one.
Anyone have any information on the “teleportation bauble”, I’ve seen it mentioned, but not explained.
I picked up the teleport charm a few days ago. It was 25 tokens, and is an “optional” charm that works from one’s inventory. Seems to work from anywhere in the world to return you to the wizard spire in the Eastern Wastes. I can see it being a handy way to get to the spire system when questing.
Consider yourself lucky twisted_mentat, if the event wouldn’t have broke, it would have been completed in under 30 hours i think.
It looks like someone at sony grew a brain and made the event last at least a weekend, bit it should last at least a week imo.
Yola,
The Spire rebuilding on Antonia Bayle had reached 99% after 18 hours.
I am glad they fixed it. Now hopefully I can get enough tokens before it finishes. 🙂
Expect the event on AB to not last the night.
What “last quest”?
Freeport (Extended) was also at 99%. Not sure why everyone keeps mentioning AB and not Freeport. They aren’t the only ones that got royally shafted by completing the epic x4 raid and getting nothing for it.
7:30 and still nothing on Freeport. No official update anywhere either that I can find. Not sure about all the other servers, but there were at least a couple of posts not too long ago on the Live forums that they had nothing yet either.
@Arcturys: At least some Live players are honestly unaware that Extended exists, or it’s just separated enough in their mind that they forget about Freeport. Other are under the (entirely false) impression that Extended players are able to buy legendary or fabled gear from the marketplace, or any number of other false conceptions that the game is somehow different on Extended, and thus believe that our accomplishments don’t count for as much. And you’d better get used to this sort of thing, because as long as we’re fenced in to our own separate forum, the facts aren’t going to make it over to the other side. ;P
It’s actually 6:07 pm Pacific time right now. Haven’t warped to 7:30 pm yet ))
Oh, and there is a time offset for the events. They do not run at the same time so one **should** be later than the other.
On Freeport at least, the dragon ring is running every 3 hours as intended. The spires, however, appear to be running every 90 minutes. (It just ran at 7:00 and says the next is at 8:30. They took it down for days and still couldn’t fix the timing?)
I don’t think they did much to “fix” it other then tweak it so it’s not surprising. And I think it’s still broken, 9 copies of GD couldn’t move the percentage even 1 while in 30 minutes the deliver quest got us 3%?
@Betony: My post was made at 7:30 pm CST. That’s 5:30pm PST, half an hour after the announced start time…
They did “tweak” stuff that didn’t need tweaking. The cost on half the items I had written down are now doubled in price for no apparent reason. That was never mentioned in their announcement. Wish they’d just stick to fixing stuff and stop wasting time messing with other things that don’t need to be messed with.
@catbriar: who sells the teleportation bauble? Unless I’m just completely missing it when I look at the event merchants in GD and EW…
Also, does anyone know if there is any way to trade tokens from old events in? I swear I read we could do that somewhere. :/
Edit: hey Feldon, I’m not sure the comments section works properly on the mobile site. Whenever I try and post it says “something went wrong, your post is too short maybe”. Shame cos the site looks really good on smartphones 🙂
teleport bauble will not be available until the event fiinishes on your server.
It was visible on Freeport and AB (any others?) since those servers had effectively finished the events. Anyone could’ve bought it for the first couple of days afterward that the merchant was still up. They eventually yanked the merchant again, so only people that bought it right away got it the first time around.
And I gotta say: So far, I am finding next to nothing to justify getting screwed on the first time around and not getting our tokens/titles. We were told it was due to bugs, but I believe it was a failsafe that prevented us from finishing too early. They said we finished too fast; well, 6 hours later we’ve already gained 10% on our server. At that rate, we are looking at being done by midnight PST on Saturday. How is 30 hours so much better than 18 hours? And how can SOE justify such a minimal extension for screwing at least two servers out of the rewards they already should’ve received? Because we beat it in just under 1 day instead of a little more than 1 day?
@Lexxie: The teleport bauble was on the same merchant that had the mounts and house items. I was able to purchase it when just shiny ! marks and the vendor was working, after the progression had been paused. Sounds like it’s supposed to be available after the spire is complete, despite being more helpful before. 🙂
@Catbriar thanks 🙂 Got my baubles and titles from completing the x4’s on AB today. What an utter lagfest though!
