Cordovan - Please

[MistaMagic]

Can we please have details of this before it starts tomorrow?

This was regarding bracers etc.

Quote This will be happening soon. Not next week, though, which may be a new type of bonus.

On the stream he said this week's bonus is a 20 percent Reaper XP bonus.

[Cordovan]

Yes, tomorrow brings a first-ever +20% Reaper XP Bonus. Runs through Sunday.

Sorry, you must provide your own in the physical realm. In-game, Warm Milk is available at the taverns, and cookies are available if you still have leftovers from the festivals. I also hear Mysterious Remnants taste a bit like shortbread, although I obviously have not been able to prove this.

DEVELOPER GENERAL'S WARNING: Consuming Mysterious Remnants may be hazardous to one's health. Consult your Cleric before attempting to eat Mysterious Remnants. They should tell you "no". If they do not, they are likely a Doppelganger, Changeling, or a crafty Wizard under the effects of a Polymorph spell. Side effects of eating Mysterious Remnants include fatigue, transport to unknown planes, and sudden, irreversable disintegration. Do not drive Airships or operate Heavy Crossbows while under the effects of Mysterious Remnants.

Just as a minor suggestion, maybe next time you do this something that will effect those who don't run reaper too?

Perhaps this is none of the above, but instead advice from someone of LAWFUL EVIL alignment.

Please? Probably too late for U36, but just think of the possibilities with Ravenloft!

I don't run challenges, but I don't gripe (okay I do a little) when the rewards are challenge bonuses.

They cycle through different rewards. Not every one of them will apply to you or me.

Pre-emptive popcorn strike for the weekend

What do we have to do to get the remnant vendor updated with the extra gear? Please, some of us are sitting on 100,000+ remnants now. Please update the vendor, permanently if possible so we don't have to go through this every time. And for those say that devs have said it's coming soon, we have been hearing this for months, and they forgot to do it when they had the remnant boost weekend a few weeks ago.

I could use an extra weekend to maybeeee get to 10,000. I want the ridiculous flaming helmet.

On the DDOCast they were saying it should be the following weekend.

Not every bonus has to benefit every player, it only has to potentially benefit every player. As a rule, I don't play reaper, but it seems most everyone else does. There's no reason not to have the occasional Reaper bonus thrown in.

I might even play some reaper during the bonus, because it means I might actually have a shot at seeing some progress and getting some AP for more survivability later. So the bonus clearly also serves as encouragement. And that's fine too, it is their latest shiny development toy.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Remnants. If Happy Fun Remnants begin to smoke, place on ground and move away.

What "bonus" is it, exactly? "Wow, you must 6 months to get an average item, that surely is fun. And if you happen to be out of town in that weekend, don't worry, next year you will get it"

It should just be permanent, and create other exciting bonus that will actually involve players to play, and not just check a single vendor.

I like this new Reaper XP Bonus, and I wish Cordovan would sit and talk with his boss and try to create more and longer bonuses, not just for a weekend.

Bonus length is a different issue to what i was talking about, which was more about whether a reaper bonus in and of itself was 'ok' or not.

I would certainly prefer most bonuses were at least 9 days long, friday-sunday, and weekend-only bonuses could then potentially be higher and more rare.

[PermaBanned]

As though it wasnt rewarding enough...
Yes, tomorrow brings a first-ever +20% Reaper XP Bonus. Runs through Sunday....but yeah, Reaper's just there for the challenge...

I've covered both the Remnant Vendor "bonus" issue and the "lenght" issue of these events.

And I agree. Every single MMO that I played has week (weeks!) long events. There are million of "bonus weeks" that Turbine could simply adopt, to incentive people to actually play and not simply wait a vendor, buy an item and log off.

Of course!

It is well into tomorrow. There is nothing on the launcher and no "DDO Bonus Days!" post in the Announcements & Contests (https://www.ddo.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/2-Announcements-amp-Contests) forum. I've run some reaper dungeons and have not noticed any special RXP boost. Is this actually happening?

Personally think the remnant vendor's items should always be available and the bonus should only be the increased chance of getting remnants. I also think the increased chance should come around more frequently then 2 or 3 times a year.

This.

I'd like it if the items were always available but on the hunter weekends they had, say, 20 or 25% discount on the cost of all the items. As to how to implement it, I think behind the scenes it'd probably be easier to set it as 2 identical item lists with different costs & only 1 set as active, rather than trying to code an actual discount mechanism into it.

[Zzevel]

..for the like the 3rd week in a row, meanwhile enjoy the 20% bonus to the xp to the difficulty meant to not be played by most people..

Ever seem like the community and the community spokes person are out of sync? I like more xp on all difficulties but i too have been waiting patiently for that vendor to return and I see the same thing every week.. just sayin..

as a smaller company you should have the power to react to the player base and not have that structured 36 week schedule of not always pertinent bonus weeks.

That is a really clever idea.

I wanted to wait until it was formally penned into the document, but it is now, so: Next week. Champion Hunter Week, May 25th through May 31st. Cloaks and Crowns and Bracers.

Could someone add some "worthwhile" items in there, with the emphasis on -->worthwhile<--.
+3& +4 remnant tomes and lv 28 versions of the bracers and cloak?
Maybe some new cosmetics or a pet?

I have a 100+k remnants wasting space in my shared ingredients bank.
When i started playing people warned me that i would be stockpiling ingredients that would turn useless over time, i just never thought it would happen this fast.

No eternal flasks? This is seriously disappointing - I lost a bunch of stuff (flask included) from server side errors. I've been waiting to replace them patiently - special items weren't being added to remnant vendor for a long time, now finally they are and you decide to selectively include only cloaks, crowns, and bracers -> something that is 100% unprecedented with regards to adding special mysterious remnant items to the vendor. This is absolutely ridiculous!
