Current Milestone is at 24% from checking a short while ago.

Does that mean that it will be reached in the next four days or so?

Current leaderboard leader is on 70k.

Does this mean that to get the weapon set we need to get 21k currency in the next four days or so or miss out or buy the Token from the Zen Store?

Asking for a friend.

    Milestone 2 cannot start before 15 September. You will have a couple of weeks to reach 21k currency. The only thing I'm not sure, is if the pack to extend this period of time will be available when Milestone 1 will be finished and Milestone 2 will not be started.

    How is it pay or hurry up? You have a month or so to get 28k tokens.

    Or just don't bother and wait for the next shiny new things to come along ;) And i mean that in a nice way. This is what a lot of players asked for - let us grind out new stuff, dont hide it behind rng. Fair enough. Its not for me though.

    And thanks for the answers I do appreciate it

    Not my kind of fun - killing mobs all the time. It's time for another game untill we get something better/interesting here. I'am done with this mod... It was bad from start, i hoped for better and now it's even worse.

    The pack for a given milestone will always be available until the next milestone begins. In other words, when the status is (current) or (complete) in the campaign UI, but not when it is (ended); which occurs when the next milestone begins.

    Am I correct in assuming that favors above 28.000 will not "carry over" into milestone 2? That is, when milestone 2 starts, you will have the favours you have earned and can spend them. but you will need to earn 28.000 again to finish Milestone 2.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Cap on favors is 20k, you need to spend them but it keeps your running total.

    Edit: I noticed after that you mean in to the next tier. There's an important difference there, I don't know the answer there and can't delete this comment XD

    It is pay or hurry up, because not every single person on planet earth is able or willing to play NW 24/7. So you have limited time, so you have to hurry up.

    My understanding is:
    * You keep the Favor currency you have farmed and can use it to shop stuff
    * Your progress into next tiers target will start at 0

    Again, you have a month to get 28k tokens, 1k a day doesn't take long at all. 5-10 BHEs and done. Sure some might not be able to log in everyday, but you can make up for it on the days you can.

    Hi, I thought each BHE gave you 40ish favours? So to get to 1k per day [@50 favours for each BHE] would be 20 per day would it not?
  • arazith07arazith07 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 1,719 Arc User
    BHEs give 30 on their own, however you get 10 per mob you hit, which is why everyone is grinding BHEs. Each one you can get 150+ tokens easily in just a few minutes, a lot more if your class can aoe well.

    For doing next to nothing in BHE (such as coming in late), you get 30. If you do involve (aggressively and live) from beginning to the end, you should get at least 100. If you are very good DPS, it can be 200.

    Weeklies, and then non-stop HE farming, which can give around 2000 Favors/hour ..... so 100K is probably doable with 50 hours of mind-numbingly boring farming.

    Hoping for improvements...

    Thanks - that makes sense then. Interesting, again, thank you

    Staff of flowers is your friend for this HE. Drop it in the middle for the start of the HE when all the enemies come in.

    So, the 5k Zen pack will be available until 15 sept?

    Until the start of milestone II: which will begin early morning (PST) September the 15th for PC, or the server progress for milestone I is completed; whichever comes later. Based on the current rate of server progress, it is likely September 15th will be the later date.

    Your personal progress is limited to Zariel's Favor you earn while the milestone is current or complete. (Or, if you have purchased a blessing, while it has ended as well.) In other words, you are correct in assuming that nothing you do in milestone I will carry over into milestone II in terms of providing a head start on your personal or leaderboard progress.

    So what happens if you buy the 5K zen pack now but you dont complete the 28K favor before milestone 2 starts?
    When you earn favor during milestone 2 it will credit both bars from Milestone 1 and 2?

    First make it clear that I liked the initiative, since many of them were requested by the community. I would not know how to solve the problems of many who are here, I just think that there was more diversity to gain the currency of the event, something like dungeons and daily trials so that the player simply exchanged his REDQ / RTQ for that or something that could also involve Vallenhas so that we don't stay - something like vallenhas sending soldiers and supplements to fight in avernus - bored of fighting against the same mobs, it could also be 1x bel in hardcore mode or BHE's in that way as if they were a trial with 10 players).

    Another thing that weighed me down so that I was not interested in doing the event is the fact that I play in 3 chars and having to choose only to win the weapons left me upset, since no matter how much I have one of them as a principal, I always seek perfect others so they are not so far behind.

    Reinteract once more through the initiative and I hope that in the next few years this type of event will be polished to please a much larger number of players.

    At least this time the favors are not just going to the one who did the most damage or got the kill. The devs can learn sometimes.
  • alphastreamalphastream Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 209 Arc User
    I really wish the progress was per my account, as well as the unlocks. It doesn't make sense to penalize those that play a lot of characters... we have to basically stop playing our other characters and focus on just 1, for just 1 reward set. And it's still a rough grind.

    I play 6 characters and I don't consider not getting something as penalty. I consider doing "one" for "all" is a benefit. Everyone are in the same boat for getting or not getting the same benefit. Nobody has more disadvantage than others. Playing 6 characters is my choice and I always prepare to spend more time/effort/resource than those who play only one or less than 6. I expect I will need to do 6x (the maximum) although doing less than that is for my benefit.

    In addition, the reward is account bound. That means if you have N qualified characters, you will have N copies of it and move them to one toon. Doing one unit of 'effort' for N characters would give an unfair advantage over those who only plays one character.
