hmm... oh well never knew that you could do two a day, i've always just been doing one a day. That'd be amazing if you could do two a day.

can someone say cash shop?

It's the same reason mp regen was reduced . It used to be you had a starting rate plus additional with your mag/20. Now i currently only have a normal regen of ~11. It used to be melee classes had 1Mp/s and magic classes had like 2Mp/s now it's everyone's at 0/s as the starting. It's very slowly moving to the point of cash shop or leave.

First I never really knew that you about the 2 BHs a day. Secondly it seems a little unfair to those who arent around at that time. Giving of a group of people 2 bhs while the rest of us only get 1. Thirdly there was a time where we had to lvl without BHs, so why not gain the rest of your exp the old way. That was just a suggestion to those who will complain about the lack of 2x bhs, and demand we get 2x bhs back. For those who arent complaining, then good job I guess.

Me thinks you're exaggerating the situation....

2 bounties a day is still possible

It used to be that you could pick up the previous day's bounty again in the 4 hour window from 12:00-3:59am.

A window still exists but is now much smaller.

You have to pick up the previous day's bounty between 12:00am and 12:04am

how much i heard of u can pick up every 12hr's.however,if u have previous bounty hunter on ur quest list,since some of people getting diff bosses and wait to pick up another one b4 they go do it so they dont waste wines,sometimes u get same boss so u cant pick it up till u dont get previous one done.but u should be able to get it,soon as u hand in 1st bh.

The reason you could pick up a 2nd after the 4 hours window (and currently after a 4 minute window) is a bug. It was never intended. Noone was supposed to be able to pick up a daily quest, twice a day. However it was a product of the boss change being off of the daily reset timer. That was the bug. The boss change & the daily reset timer are supposed to coincide, but they were horribly off (by 4 hours), and now still slightly off (by 4 minutes).

What this does is as soon as the daily timer resets, the NPC registers its a new daily cycle and allows you to pick up the new BH, however the boss will always be the same at that point (so you have to have cleared the later BH yesterday to grab it). Then because the Boss switch cycle is off, that would change 4 hours later, the game checks to see if you've picked up BH yet, but the programmers were dumb in BH quests and made each seperate boss a seperate quest ID. Thereby he looks & sees you dont have, nor havent done, the new quest ID yet today, and grants the new boss. This is why sometimes there was no 2nd BH, if the boss random selection was identical to the prior, you'd fail the "hasnt picked up today" check and not be granted it again.

They are trying to align the boss swap with the daily reset cycle, but for some reason they are unable to. This is because Nirvana allows you to trade in an undone BH for another key to Nirvana for the day (or it will in the future). They dont want people to pick up 2 BHs and thus be able to get 2 extra keys on a glitch.

So yes this was unfair to people who were asleep during the early BH window, but it was never intended to exist at all. They werent playing timezone favoritism, they're just crappy programmers.

My question is ... they have obviously made some form of change to this quest... why fix this?? When theres so many other bugs in the game that actually disadvantage players. They chose to devote their time and your money YES PEOPLE ANYONE WHOS EVER BOUGHT GOLD OR ZEN , your money to adjust this particular part of the game. No surprise really when oracles are available straight from the cash shop via tokens and even recently, directly from the cash shop itself . People got used to the exp from 2 bh's most days, what better strategy could there be than to yoink it away when you got a cash shop.......
