    We're keeping the bonuses running!

    Starting today at 12 PM (noon) PDT until Thursday, April 16 at 12 PM PDT, we will be running another set of bonuses.


    Live servers, you are going to see Limited time merc training, and all servers will be getting double XP

    Thank you for your continued support!

    Thanks - as always much appreciated.

    I have seen the term "live server" in this game used to mean the normal ruleset servers and to exclude both free trade servers, the TLE server and the special events servers. Whereas in other games it usually means all servers other than test. How do you mean the term?

    Live servers in this case mean everything except Kaladim, Kaladim gets the double xp

    Do you mean merc training time is reduced? Or ?

    And thanks!

    Thanks - by the way as of 2 minutes ago Rivervale was not showing a server bonus.

    Peredhel - I assume its like the mount bonuses that just ended - the merc gets credit for a certain amount of training time but the drop has to be used within 4 hours it cannot be hoarded for later use.

    Yeah I pinged the team to let them know, it looks like the merc training is dropping though so it's a little weird.

    Can you clarify further on what exactly the “merc timers dropping” means?

    Is this a passive thing that will apply to all characters?
    ... whether they login or not?
    Is this on training already in progress, or only on newly started training during the bonus period?
    What exactly will be the amount of the reduction?

    Does this apply to everyone or only paid accounts?

    Can we please get a double currency bonus? Specifically tradeskill (including PQs/research)/crafting/decorating stuff?

    @ Dreamweaver was it an error that I lost 10 of my regular overseer missions and Noon Pst today? I logged in this morning and used the 10 bonus quests but when the change happened it removed my 10 regular daily quests.

    This makes me think that if they wish to repeat this promotion in the future, they should have it start and end at the same time as the overseer quests are reset. That would avoid this scenario entirely.

    Well....I dunno about bonuses, for some accounts sure...but not all apparently.
    Today so far I have ran 12 heroics, 12 solos, 3 weeklies, 3 DDs, 3 researchquests...thats 33 chances today, and zero merc time reducer. Add to that the 36 zones i did in the end of mount reducing with zero drops. Fun with bonus-events...but not for all =(

    RNG works differently for everyone, some times it favors us and sometimes I never win a roll...ever. I know it can be frustrating but in my experience it does turn around.
