I think it was an error or the intended way a wave changes. Either way I got lucky and finished the weekly as well as 1 daily under the conditions. 16 tokens yeah baby.
Not sure what was intended as they didn't even announce anything at all (not doubling, not start of wave 2?), but I caught it originally at http://eq2wire.com/2016/07/15/wave-two-of-summer-ethereals-begin-double-rewards-mayhaps/ -- Hopefully someone can clear it up.
several folks have been reporting oddities with timers. I've had the weekly lag behind as much as 10-15 minutes from when it was supposedly available, and I've just had to wait that long past other players being able to get it, before it was shareable or available from them to me. I don't think the appearance of "double" currency today was anything more than a glitch possibly related to the same bug. Some clock function failed when one currency should have been deleted from the quest when the new was introduced.
Very plausible, I could see that happening. Hopefully someone that knows will talk to us so we don't have to brainstorm what's going on. I did find it odd they didn't announce the event, but they didn't announce the new wave either so I just assumed they weren't announcing anything at all.
They did announce double ethereal coin for yesterday. But... nothing today...I hoping its an error... only one day? That can't be right.
I think Ari's right, it had to be a glitch with overlapping timers. The quests now only offer a reward of coins, runes, the wrist, or the new charm. Neck is no longer a random reward
Really disappointed. Just when i thought you guys made a really effective and worthwhile Event for EQ2 where you actually got two coins for double the chance at the rewards those coins give, you took it all away. Doubling the chance at rewards is soooo much better than doubling the amount of coins you can get. Please bring back this event for a longer period of time.
Yeah I'm blown away by how awful that is, I was just waiting for today to finish up the weekly on a few guys since maj'dul is basically dead. Daybreak making sony look like a bunch of champs. Really bad work guys.
Daybreak....mistake or not, letting double currency run for one day then turning it off is just completely messed up. Even if it got turned on by mistake, you should have let it run through the weekend. All you did was annoy a bunch of people with your decision to turn it off.
This was not the double token event they announced, that is yet to come. This appears to be a simple mistake where wave one rewards didn't get turned off for a day after wave two was activated so missions had both waves active during that time. It was an unintended bonus so be grateful if you got it and quit your whining if you didn't.
