Curse

What we need is an alcoholic drink loaded with sugar that also explodes in some way.

Gaile Gray · Feb 17, 2008, 05:37 AM // 05:37

I asked about this, and there are no plans to have a double-up weekend. In fact, it was thought about and rejected. Froggie was speaking about something else, apparently.

And I highly doubt anybody saw anything in the DAT about the subject. I swear -- every rumour in the world got to the DAT file! Coming soon to the DAT: Gaile's Super Secret Truffle Recipe and the full text file of the dev team's Wintersday Card list. *rolls eyes*

What about a bloody mary with a little umbrella?

Has alcohol, has sugar and has a little umbrella for the party items.

Hm... bloody...

Gaile, if that stays the truth (Devs, what can I say? Changeable ain't they?) you've made me very happy. I was blowing off fireworks in our GH for those who hadn't seen them (on request), and to have the whole hoarding fiasco ala minipigs all over again would have been too much to take.

I know, I should have learned my lesson about being kind to others....

Thanks for clearing that up

Now.........about a certain other "rumor" found in the .Dat.......hmmmmmmm.

enter_the_zone · Feb 17, 2008, 06:15 AM // 06:15

Yes, we must have the truffle recipe!

Pleikki · Feb 17, 2008, 09:24 AM // 09:24

Tbh i dont think event like that Double drunk Sugar etc will come cause you cant farm them proper atleast not fireworks. and event are for that everyone can join em not just rich ppl. If theres some event for double points it those titles that you earn while you play and like that not titles that you can earn mostly with cash.

Longasc · Feb 17, 2008, 10:53 AM // 10:53

Maybe during GW's 3rd birthday. Who knows.

I just do not like all these "double" weekends (As much as I doubt the consumable titles are a good thing). If the titles are such a grind to max, they just should go ahead and half the points needed or double the points gained in general.

And not slap people in the face that had a party for 3k points before that weekend.

ANet has a talent for party-pooping, see the Mini Polar Bear and the Celestial Pig threads.

Solas · Feb 17, 2008, 03:56 PM // 15:56

that weekend would truely suck imo, its like rewarding anyone that horded them or people that failed to sell them

Yes , same with title treasure hunter...i finish it before the "new" luck/unlucky title and no bonus point were given.
I have 14k+ chest and i have less than 1M lucky points..

*cough* mini polar bear *cough*

Sorry, I had to do it. I'm still a bit miffed.

Anyway, I'll be saving mine up for a couple of months just in case something is instituted.

Linksys · Feb 18, 2008, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Same here. I'm too hesitant to use my festival items. May as well make a time capsule storage character.

no offensse but can you expect any less? people have now found the mini polar bear and the party animal track in the DAT file before they were announced. both things people would have loved to know about before they came out for obvious reasons. can you expect any less that people are going through the DAT file like its crack? TBH i think the only reason you are bashing the DAT file is because you dont like to fess up to the fact that people are finding out about things before you want them to.

Croco Clouds · Feb 18, 2008, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Maybe we'll have cooking/firework NPC?

e.g. get some ingredients and give it to the chef/producer = food/sparkler

slowerpoke · Feb 18, 2008, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Gaile

What you should do is have 'aura of the party' which is activated only during events. This will double the point effect, and encourage players to actually use the items during festivals instead of wasting them elsewhere.

It could even be broken down to new year items gain extra bonuses during new year festival, as opposed to using halloween items then.

stretchs · Feb 18, 2008, 04:58 PM // 16:58

ok concept but the crates would be ineffectual save for in the halls still

I suggested that myslef in some threads.

It would be just GREAT.

KiyaKoreena · Feb 18, 2008, 05:36 PM // 17:36

There was a firework crafter during the New Year celebration. I guess it would be nice for some people if he found his way into some town during the rest of the year.

Only took you until page 2 to squash this rumour. How many pages is the Xunlai market place thread?
