Thread is opened! Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding this event!

Small FAQ :

1) How is this being tracked?
A: I have access to "real time" data for this event, so I can update this when it populates! Pretty neat, huh?

2) How will codes be distributed?
A : They will be posted on the forums under the Arc Codes announcement as well as on Facebook. I will also put up the codes associated with each hour grouping underneath the prizes. These will follow the usual restrictions of one per account.

3) I entered the code and it didn't work!
A : The system might sometimes get "overwhelmed" when there are multiple redeems. Wait for it to "cool off" and then try again in a few minutes.

4) What's up with these prizes and the hours, holy cow!
A : I wanted to start a bit smaller first to see how this event goes - please leave feedback as to whether or not you'd like to see this in the future! Also, based on the data I have, these hours can be accomplished by the community and I have every faith it will! Also, free stuff for playing is nice, right? (And gives me excuses to give away things shh!)

Let me know your thoughts or any other questions you may have!

pal2002

is there any chance with the events they might be done at a time more in line to us eu players as most of the time unless we stay up really late we cant do them like wraith hunter for instance it starts at 9 pm uk time and goes on till 3 am.
nw starts at 1 20 am here and finishes at 3 20 am would be nice to do a nw that us eu people on usa servers could actually do . sorry for the rant but at times seems all us eu players on us servers are forgotten about .

pal2002

and for all the people that say you should have made toons on eu server there wasnt one when i started playing

kalystconquerer#0876

@pal2002 For this event (Community Log in), it is not restricted via time zones or if you are a player who is from a different timezone- just log in, play and have fun! The rest will be left up to me! As far as making events for EU players on US servers, unfortunately some events have limitations i.e. like Wraith Hunters and Nation Wars - this is hard coded to the server time.

However, things like Auspicious Contest, Quick as the Wind and Pinata Bosses are manual spawns!

What I could do is up the amount of times these events spawn (for example still have the 9 AM/3 PM/5 PM/6PM sort of spread but run them across all servers at this time PST) or try and do multiple spawns per time slot, but specific to servers (9 AM + 11 AM on DG, 3 PM + 4 PM on Tideswell, 5 PM + 6 PM + 9 PM TT and ET). The later still adheres to a sort of rigid schedule and the last set of spawning times (9PM PST) is outside office hours. Also, for Pinata's I could spawn all three instead of only doing one to see if that helps.

We can also ask for more spawnable events that are "open ended" ie. players can complete them at their leisure such as St. Patrick's Day and Twilight Survivor. Events have always been an interesting beast and a mix of - can spawn with no patch, can spawn NPC but must need a patch for changes, can set it and forget it but bound to server time.

eternalghost

The pinata bosses are great, but since pick up all got introduced, it's become really unfair. I would say it's probably the least helpful event to run, as fun as it is. Kinda sucks but it just makes people who don't have pick up all angry and that's quite a few people lol.

@kalystconquerer#0876 I just noticed: x1 Elysium Gift Pack III this is a reward for the community login event. IIRC that pack has been send out before and is a one-time only Quest. Could you please check if that's the case?

coinsrus

Are the hours played by the 50 bots at Jolly Jones taken into account too?

^ agreed

Is it just me or 188k hour reward seems way better than 235k xD

@kalystconquerer#0876​​
You could add one more homestead bag or event gold ticket to that to make it better maybe.

kalystconquerer#0876

@jsxshadow There's two giftpacks that have the same name. I believe the one that was given out a while back had a little star pet to go along with it? There's another one http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/quest/32105 , that can be redeemed multiple times. We should probably at some point get this relocalized or name changed (or the other pack) so that it won't confuse players in the future!

@eternalghost I'm wondering if flipping all on at once would be a soft deterrent, considering a player with pick all can't be at three different places at once (barring the obvious them logging in three alts with the Star level to do this event)

@ladyblonde69 We don't have such an item/service at this time, to my knowledge. Aside from Harshland players being affected by server merges (and also EU players who rolled on West/East servers that would like an option to go to EU), I know this service/function has been something players would like to see. It's one of those topics that I try not to speak too much on so that I don't set any unrealistic expectations or send players the wrong message. Apologies for not being able to really go into much detail about this, but I hope this makes sense!

@sin20 Though if I tweak rewards now, it'd be kind of weird though, wouldn't it? I'll tweak the prizes for next time we run this.

Accumulated hours have been updated in the title and the original post! Data from today has not populated, so this is only counting hours from yesterday. Total hours so far : 16,356

sin20

Hm i dont think it would be really weird , more like a welcome change from community?

X1 Demon/Sage Event Card
X2 Major Homestead Supply Bag > x1 Primordial Blood

Which is a difference in tiers of worth , but seeing how theres a lot of good rewards in total its fine i guess.
Just in future if you think about repeating similar login event to adjust worth of tiers.

LOL!

Sorry but me and my friend both said the same thing. Being on a US server from the EU with events does not really help. To be fair tho @kalystconquerer#0876 you seam to be doing a better balance on this one than most.​​

ericamariex222

can we get another update @kalystconquerer#0876 pweaseee

po210

im sure we have now 47k hours.....
Gimme code...MEOW!


And tks for time and work

valdisman

Great work on hitting the first target everyone!

kalystconquerer#0876

@po210 Right? I'm waiting on today's data to populate proper, since sometimes it updates right away and sometimes I have to wait a few extra hours. I'm pretty sure it's been met, but I'll wait for the official numbers to roll in.

Hours have been updated, in case anyone missed the title changes or the original post!

po210

ok...meow have a nice day...i sit in a corner..and look the numbers.......
I try to not blink...its hard....

eirghan

prancing

arnis8212#6733

po210

tks for the code

kalystconquerer#0876

Hours have been updated!

I did miss a question here about multiple logged in characters/shops! So, the hours being tracked is based off of unique log ins, so no cheating the system! I believe it also doesn't track the same way as our log in promos do, so you can be continuously logged in as opposed to needing to time in log ins, if that makes sense.

nunuator

To be honest at this rate we may hit the 188 000 Hours reward but, nothing above that since shops aren't being counted.... Think PWE has yet again thought they run a multi million player game XD with the current rate of 10k hours a day there's no way we are hitting the max...
Good idea just over estimated the player base since most players log do dailes, TW/xTW and log off
Some simple math... 82,619/8 active days =10,329 hours/24 hours per day=460 days...
Since this is a multi server event and people don't play 24/7 this might mean there are as little as 1k to as many as 5k people left actively playing...
Think PWE needs to take this into account when they think of new content that requires more daily grind this will ultimately drive players to quit.

po210

Ya most of logged char are in specific lvl range..other are botting
game need to be revamped to push high lvl player to help low lvl for boss and gear.
not cool for a newbee to wait to have is tt mats or to bot 30 day to buy them
maybe some sort of reward for high lvl who help others..i dont know how..but that can make game great again..Trump

coinsrus

First update 9th march we had like 16,3k hours...

Dont know what happened to the rest, but we can see a big fluctuation

proksimitee

Do we have an update for today

kalystconquerer#0876

@nunuator There's a few days we've had that blows that average out of the water - I check in about 3 times a day to see how it's going. The final goal is definitely a "nice to have", but it's something I think can be achieved.

@po210 This is something I'm working on in the background! I unfortunately don't have anything to share on this front at this time but I'm definitely always taking a look at what areas we can target.

@proksimitee Just updated! And with a new code!
