[UI] Happy Hour & Mega Happy Hour 2.0

We had Happy & Mega Happy Hour ever since Darkorbit hit success.

What I'm proposing is to add on to the "event," where during those times, all Uridium earned through NPC kills are doubled, tripled, or quintupled. 2x for Happy Hour, 3x for Mega Happy Hour and 5x for those rare occurrences where Happy & Mega Happy Hour are on the same day, same time.

So how about it? Seems like a true "Happy Hour" for everyone
Good for new players, good for old, good for everyone!
Except BP, sorry D:

Oct. 8, 2015 - Bonus Uridium only applies inside the Alpha, Lambda and Hades gates. Other gates give too much, and then it will turn into an infinite Uridium pool. As good as we would love that, we can't have something like that :3

Oct. 8, 2015 - Also, let this event actually be random. Once (or twice) a month, and it can appear at any random HH/MHH. Not like Zeus day, or MHH, where those are actually predictable.

 

Everything but the gates. Gamma and zeta would give too much, and not to mention the upcoming kuiper gate would give 645k uri on mhh....lol

 

What if it was just limited to one gate? Like, out of all the gates you do at that time, whatever you go into first, the bonus only applies to that gate. After that, any other gate you do does not get the bonus. Or is it still too much?

 

If you limited it to alpha, lambda and (Hades?) maybe once per event.

 

That'll have too many restrictions...
It would have to be either all, or nothing. And yea, it's pretty much once per event, since the bonus only affects the first gate you do during the event. After that, you gotta wait for the next event for the Uri bonus in gates.

 

Still if there is a mega every Sunday (and first Wednesday) and you can get a minimum of 45k from lambda 645k from kuiper... 645k is enough for 3 kuiper, one of which could be saved for next Sunday, letting you do the other two giving 430k, the On the next Sunday 645k again giving you 1.007 mil uri in just a week, for free. Every week that'll only increase.

 

Good point. I'll limit it to the main gates :>
-Also, you can't predict when is the next time it would happen, it's always random, and it can happen on any of the given HH/MHH (So it could happen on Wednesday's HH [first week], and not happen again till like, the last week of the next month, on MHH [it is purely once a month when this happens]).

 

Oh. But still the potential is big. Eh. If it's only once a month it's not too bad but perhaps exclude kuiper from it? Otherwise a player could get 645k from juniper then for the next half hour just box or cube netting another 40-60k equaling to 700k free uri per month. Or if you include normal farming around 1-1.5 mil a month. A nice prospect but nonetheless I am not bigpoint

 

I like the idea, its all about preparation for these types of events, so i would keep the limits off and allow people to 'save' for these events maybe once a month.

 

Yea, that's true.

Millions? Can people really get that much in an hour of farming?

Keeping those limits on, because people would enjoy too much Uridium, and then it would be way too easy to not work as much for it, and BP would lose too much revenue for it.

 

A sepped ufe can kill a cube in roughly 30 seconds, 4 per map,in two minutes that's 4K uri normal, 12k with event. If maps were empty said ufe could loop through the x-6 maps making 12k at most every 3 minutes equaling to 240k in an hour. That's no kuiper.




Let's say someone does kuiper takes half an hour, other half hour gives 120k uri. Kuiper pays for the ammo used on cubes and as many ufe used the sep glitch..

Basically yes it is possible.

 

Oh dam.

Well, guess I should take it completely off gates then :/

 

Well that's for ufe for normal players it would still take time. Something else I just considered is that people could do all but the last wave on kuiper then finish it during event so it takes minimal time

 

Only npc kills, no more uri for botters from boxes.

 

Alright, will change it

 

Yeah but tbh botters will always be there and will always benefit from whatever we do in the game. I box a lot, especially during events and when I can pay for doubler, and it's great, but if we let bots control what we do then what's the point of doing anything. Bots can benefit from anything normal players can. You say remove it on boxes because bots can benefit from it, but what about npcs? Bots can't benefit from killing npcs? Either keep both or kill both. But then it comes to gates. Are there not gate bots? Why not remove that too then, and forget the whole kabosh.

 

Removed gates, because that would be far too much Uridium gain.
Read FooJub's examples above on gates.

 

How about a mini (Mega) Happy "hour" (5 minutes), which appears 12 times more often then a Happy Hour 2.0? So you can't really plan for gates, nobody can make a gate in 10 minutes. OK, you can do 2 Cubis in 4 minutes. But if you are a Cubi hunter, perhaps you have already destroyed all of them and then the mini Happy hour appears in the time for re spawning. Besides for gates: only the lucky guys, who end in this 5 minutes a Gate, will gain too much Uri, it's nearly impossible (to complete one or more gates).

I have a dream that all botters are removed, and I hope this will happened before the fall of Darkorbit into the dark orbit of oblivion. Jk,
I think this game will find find THE solution. Ideas like "
Happy Hour & Mega Happy Hour 2.0"

attracts more beginners and this is more important too stop the botters.

 

Actually, you can
With enough uri/spins, use 100x, and you'd be surprised.

Next time a test server's out, time yourself and see how many gates you can build with that :3

 

Truedat. And again I can complete last wave of zeta within 5 minutes and I am not even ufe. So yes you can. On the flip side 5 minute events no, just no upgrade hour is bad enough.
