Not A Bug Bonus exp stopped EARLY!

https://prnt.sc/udjy55

calender says it stops tomorrow... at 8 am.... it is gone already.... !!!! get it back... now we are missing out and planned after it

Yes! Please put it back on!
As someone who can rarely play at weekends, was pleased this was on today
Except it's not (on AB anyway)
Can we have it back asap??

seems to be back on but looks like only +50% and not +100% as it were ???

It's the same event turned back on, where is it 50%?

Fairly certain that the in-game notification specified 50%, not 100%.

the announcement:
"From 12:00 PM PT on Friday, September 4th, 2020 until 12:00 PM PT on Tuesday, September 8th, 2020, ALL players on ALL servers will receive double XP!"

Ingame:

So will we get some extra time to make up for the day we missed?

I sure hope so

and it's over... so they DID NOT add extra time for being gone all day :-/ RIP come on...

I didn't get a bonus for like, 3 kills. Then started getting a bonus on the kills again. I don't even know.

aaand back on again lol sheesh this is getting confuzzling now

The issue we had is:

Events run by the event system set ALL of the bonuses when they make changes. So If it's giving EXP bonus, it sets the rare spawn bonus to baseline.

We ended up with overlapping events.
The labor day event went to 11pm 9/8
the FALL fun event started 12am 9/8

So... when the fall fun started at midnight, it set rare spawn rate to double and faction to double, and reset exp to baseline (and lockout mod, re-spawn mod, and discount mod to baseline, since they were already baseline, this had no effect)

We cannot alter the event from the event manager on the fly, but unlike events that give access to quests, there are also commands for the bonuses we can run that do the same thing the event manager does. So, we set the exp mod back when we got into work and read the news AND did the proper research to be sure. (Those steps take some time)

Then... When the Labor Day event ended at 11pm, it reset all bonuses to baseline, including the fall fun bonus.

I had set an alarm to get back up at 11pm, and... I set the EXP, Rare, and faction bonus back on after I the event turned it off. The tool we use to do it to all servers at once didn't connect to some servers, so I had to go serve by server to check and be sure it's turned on. But I got them all, as far as I know.

Thank you Ngreth, interrupting your rest to look after this is appreciated.

Our hero !

Thank you, Ngreth! What a nice ogre.

thanks so much Ngreth that also explains why it was on off on off on off etc. and hopefully we can avoid such things the so Ogah can get his (uhm do you call it that as an ogah?) beauty sleep ;-)

Great, but when does this exp bonus end?

looks like its done already

Sounds like a lot of work, we appreciate it!
