Night Revels

[Seph1roth5]

One other change this year is this: We will not be deprecating last year's ingredients. Normally, when we introduce new .

Ummm my candies from last year have turned rotten.

Yes, we are currently planning to turn Night Revels on very soon, perhaps this Thursday. The event will be the same as last year's, and no new dungeons or items have been added this year. Sorry. But, we also know there are still plenty of people would like to get stuff from previous years, and we'll do our best to update Night Revels in future years.

One other change this year is this: We will not be deprecating last year's ingredients. Normally, when we introduce new items, we want people to start fresh for the year on Night Revels. However, with nothing new this year, it seemed like a good idea to not remove last year's ingredients. So, some of you are ahead a bit (or a lot) while others of you have already ditched your ingredients, to which we say: sorry! Still, for those who didn't, that should be kinda nice. This will allow us to get Night Revels out in time for the festivities of October while still releasing Update 47 in the very near future and our expansion later this year.

So, current plan is to enable Night Revels later this week, but we'll have a formal Announcement thread announcement when the time comes.

Thanks for the good news! Sadly I spent my extra ingredients on Gloomy potions last year, but they aren't a bad investment so no regrets. Candy time!

I am assuming they are currently in the shared bank. These ingredients when placed in the shared bank will always list themselves as rotten or expired, but return to their proper yearly state when you put them back into your inventory. Anything from prior to last year should not be usable, however.

Private half-chuckle/facepalm/lol - the rotting ingredients are partly why I stopped trying too hard to do events. Couldn't save my 'progess'.

It's a good move. ~Fact.
If it catches on to keep doing it from now on, even better. ~Opinion.

Closely related, sorta/kinda: No pumpkin carving contest again this year?

Looking forward to this festival!

I cruised the servers, collected a few runearms per account per server per artificer (and a few hopeful to get artificer accounts) and then gave away keys and ingredients to nearby revelers...
Not sorry.
The little joy I bring to my fellow players is just that.
little.
scroogish.
Happy happy gimme gimme Night Revels!
I have new accounts and new alts to treat with non-melted choclatey goodness!
Freesh Grind-ed chocolates anyone?
I think I still have some melted rotten ones in a POCKET(=shared bank) somewheres!

Can you at least fix the "red" reaper armor to actually make it red? I think the artist who made it was color blind.

Or better yet, make it shift orange to red, slowly, cooling and heating back up over several seconds...
I grinded the purple set and wore it all of ten minutes... I still have it but I'm suffering grinder's remorse.

[OfElectricMen]

What!!!!!!!!, You want a week of LAG instead of a weekend

Funny, but sadly, at least on G-land, the lag was not any worse during the most recent Cove. It's often nigh-unplayable. Cove didn't impact it much at all.

Aww I love my purple set, its my favorite.

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

Imho, the purple cloak fits well to the Revelers Regalia. Plus Hat. (The Thin Black Cloak fits even better, though.)

Not even a new color of Reaper Platemail? That's all I really wanted lol. I've been hoping for Silver/White, but I keep expecting Yellow and people to look like wasps lol.

If it's just as simple as copy-paste, change RGB of component 3 to a different number, can I ask for ya to squeeze it in?

Aww I love my purple set, its my favorite.

Yeah, Purple > Red > Blue > Green IMO.

[Aelonwy]

Yeah, Purple > Red > Blue > Green IMO.

My preference is Purple>Blue>Green X Red(Orange) But that really just tells you what end of the color spectrum I prefer. In my family my daughter and I each have a character wearing the Purple, my son has a character wearing the green and my hubby has a barb in blue. No one wears the Red(orange) not even hubby and his favorite color is red, buts its just not red enough.

Example I made for another thread:



Center image is actual image from ingame, Left was 10 degree color shift to make it actually red, Right was 7 degree color shift the other way to make it more orange. As you can tell from the degree of color shift, it is actually closer to orange than red, according to my Photoshop program.

[droid327]

Cordo, are we still going to get a full run of Crystal Cove this year?

[SpartanKiller13]

Yeah, even splitting "red" into orange and red would be pretty cool IMO

I want a whole set of all the colors lol

When I was ~10 I found my halloween candy that I had forgotten about in a drawer under my bed. I tried eating a few but.....it was like July. They did not age well.

Great to hear! I look forward to this event each year and I know tons of players who want to farm out the cosmetics/items.

Appreciate the heads up!!!

You and me both (as well as others I know about). IMO it is the 2nd* worst mechanic in the game, and I've tried lobbying for it's removal since the 2nd year it was done (since, it was unknown during the first year).

* it used to be the 1st worst, but then they pulled that thrice-dam..., um, -darned "optional xp decay only resettable on non-lesser reincarnation" mechanic.

So, I've been considering making video content for DDO for some time now. Might as well launch the channel with Night Revels:
