Hi, don't worry I got a 5min +100% bonus without even completely breaking the first Philosopher sword. It seems to be *dynamic* just like the rest. lol1000 PED Hunts ??
What weapon are you using?
It takes me about an hour to use up a Philosopher Sword.
That would mean I would need to hunt about 15 hours straight??

Maybe the no skill bonus is related to my using a relatively low damage weapon with my high (11k) longblade skill?

Hi, .......
What made the previous 2x or 3x skill events so special is that the bonus lasted for days, but with some random 5min 2x skill bonus after ~300ped cycled the total effect is neglectible.
This skill buff is just a bad joke! Maybe usable if it is connected to a bot pill or such.
If Ma will be kind to us players, or will get more ppl playing, then i would say that a skill bonus like 2x skills over a weekend would do the job. But this skill buffs are really a joke, like most things MA is doing since a while!
As for me, well, i ain't swede nor MA promotionnal avatar
Neither am I.
I'd be a piss poor promotional avatar right now considering for the last 2 months I have been mired in server migrations and database design at my real job, and have been lucky to log on once a week.
I made a point to play this weekend. Like literally I had to tell folks who wanted to hang out that I was busy on my only 2 free days in the last 20 or so.
Disagree. I found the skill buffs to be pretty nice, and totally noticeable. Gained half a professional level (42-43) in just a few hours of play, with a buff flashing off every 30 minutes or so.
What I think people are saying in this thread is basically what people are saying in every thread:
They want more.
More loot (currently my returns are at 95% TT average).
More buffs.
More content.
More...
Instead of looking at what folks dont have, I have a suggestion. Look at what you do have.
So a 2 x skill would be a sign to us, that MA don't only take what they can take!
At least. this also would help, that ppl maybe start to depo and play more.
Does 10:00 UTC mean morning? Does MA use the 24hr time notation?
I swear, ppl would complain about a rainbow...
FFS its better than NOT getting the bonus...
Everything seems to be working as intended.
Here is to me complaining its not enough.....
Well...after my € 40 depo, I am broke again. Did a run on Simple I Conductors, got about 80% tt return... and didn't see a buff.
I finally got a bonus -> blades 50% for 11 minutes using my normal hunting setup.
The only difference is I did not log off between runs and it happened during the second run.
James
Thx MA for skill up weekend, i really enjoy that :*
Question: were you about to move up a level in blades? (85%+ in prof. lvl?)
I guess that's the skill boost equivalent of getting Nova fragments in loot.
Not only that, i got lots of blazzar as well, tonns of no loot messages, thousands of misses (it was at least 200% more misses compared to normal rates). This ****ing skill up week resulted totally in 400% peds loss than ordinary, i even had to stop hunting on sunday because of huge loss. I wonder why CLD return for last week was less than the previous week then. I got my worst feelings that someone Big is cheating against all players in really huge scale!
PS: Please let me know if u had same terrible loot during the last week.
