2x EXP/Drop events

I remember back in GMS there would always be random 2xEXP/DROP events for just 2 or 3 hours at a time. This would be really cool to have even if its just for after server maintenances to compensate players for lost training maps/fm spots.

I get that the server is already 2x exp, but just having these events for a couple hours at a time would give people more incentive to log on and grind/farm. Not saying this should be every day but maybe just once or twice a month or something.

Memories of when people would stack 2x EXP nx cards + 2x EXP event + HS for an OP grind sesh hahaha.

I dont think this suggestion would give certain players an advantage over others in any way since it wouldnt be a frequent thing or a long period of time per event.

 

Gm buffs and GM events as compensation only benefit those who are currently online and are given 10-15mins notice max, furthermore a lot of people miss out on GM buffs and ask to be rebuffed, which can be annoying for players and tedious for GMs.

Having an event that has a notice put up 1 or 2 days in advance on the website and forum as well as an hour prior in-game would be a lot more helpful to all players, not just those who are currently online. This would also motivate people to actually log on.

 

The point of this isnt to satisfy you for your convenience, its not forcing you to do anything but gives you the option to do so if you choose to. If youre able to log on at those times then good for you, if not then bad luck. Its not something that will severely disadvantage you if you cant make it. Its just an incentive for some people to log on and grind or farm if they usually cant be bothered to.

This is something that i thought would be nostalgic and is an alternative for 2x EXP/DROP cards from cash shop (that would ruin the game tbh)

I agree with most of what you're saying but don't you think that this is something that might help those who arent as loyal as other become more loyal?
Surely you can agree that not everyone can be satisfied? If theyre demotivated so easily then they arent loyal players in the first place?

On this note I dont think it would demotivate people to train if its something that happens rarely (1-3 times a month). This is no where near frequent enough for people to rely their training on. Because it is so rarely done, it not only benefits loyal long-term players who look forward to something each month but also the newbies who may become more inclined to stay after experiencing this. Although i think its stupid, there is a reason why high rate servers exist, so it would in some sense satisfy that audience.

 

Gang how do you live around the event if its once a month? the majority of new players dont even last 1 month before quitting

are you saying youll become so dependent on it that youll only train for 2 hours a month?

 

Again this is just a suggestion, you could do this after a maintenance or you could not. The point is to switch things up a bit, maybe youll have GM buffs and GM JQ events one time, and 2x exp/drop another. You could do it twice a year for all i care!

If thats the case then what difference does it make? if you're already playing once a week then its not gonna demotivate them to play less? Your example isnt even relevant because they dont play often in the first place Chew

 

Gang i suggested this happen 1-3 times a month, for 2 hours at a time. meaning this would probably happen for 2 hours a month.

EXACTLY: THIS MEANS PEOPLE WONT BE DEMOTIVATED BY IT so what harm will it do? loyal players will likely be online at the time anyway, and less frequent players will be motivated to come online (AGAIN: JUST ONCE A MONTH FOR 2 HOURS AT A TIME)

 

Number32 But assuming this happens at the very most once a month, if you average this out the difference isnt THAT significant
