Excellent! Spring fest in Spring!!!!! Looking forward to it (and warmer weather!). Thanks SSG.:D
Thank you for releasing the events schedule ahead of time! Much appreciated. And yes, Spring Festival at the start of spring will be wonderful :D
What is the official date for the 10th year Anniversary?
Wasn't the Spring Festival supposed to start this morning? If these dates don't end up being the ones you use, could we get an update please?
Here we go again with the confusion.
On both the calendar and OP to this thread it says 22nd March but on Facebook it says 23rd. However it wouldn't be due to start until 10am EST so as I type it shouldn't have started yet anyway. I suppose for some people it is or almost is the 23rd March local time to them.
I am usually the first to support the company with festival dates but this is getting ridiculous. How freaking hard is it to set 1 date and get it right on a consistant basis. Seriously I am waiting for at some point today they will come out on google+ and sa the spring fest is next week
Communication has gone from above excellent to utter failure in a matter of 2 months. Sad. I had high hopes for SSG
Well the twitter announcement was wrong. Festival is now live.
So, it seems I missed 1 day of the Spring Festival and now will not be able to finish the Final of A Bustling Bloom. Couldn't have built in a couple days of cushion??
At least one day more than needed, please. As it is now we aren't even allowed to make one single mistake.
I missed one day too, not because I actually missed it, but because I was so tired after having worked so hard gathering tokens for many many many days that I forgot to turn in the finished 10 quests that day... Noticed it the next day when I wanted to grab the quest again and instead turned it in :(
Well they did a Yule Festival encore, so who knows...
As always thanks Thoroval. Also it's on the launcher notifications.
And thanks Cordovan - if you're keeping up with this thread, you might want to make a note on the Pinned Post too as some of us get notifications for this thread but not for the no reply thread you posted that on ;)
By the way, we're now 3 weeks away from the 10th Anniversary and the Events Schedule is still not showing dates. I realise you are still finalising details, but the dates would be nice as early as possible so we can plan.
Thanks!
Annifest: April 24th, as every year:
https://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/LOT...ry_Celebration
But schedule update would be coolcool, yes.^^
Thank you for extending the festival! Now I can fix that I missed turning in the daily-10-quest one day! :D
Thanks for extending the Spring Festival. Those account-bound cosmetics have turned it into quite a grind-fest.
I really hope the Anniversary won't be likewise. But with all those cosmetic pets coming I fear it will be.
Please take in mind that a festival is supposed to be fun when you decide the length of the festival and the pricing of the barter items.
I've been too busy to get to it, but updating this list is on my to-do list this week.
I've now updated the Events schedule to denote MOST of the events happening over the next month. I've also put in expected days for our regular recurring events, like Hobnanigans and seasonal festivals, through the end of the year. However, there will still be a ton of other bonus events that aren't yet on the calendar, and will be updated as we get closer to the time in question.
ALSO: There's a specific 10th Anniversary-related event that is not yet on the calendar...
Spring Festival Extended.
I have but one word... Awesommmmme!
:D
Thanks Cordovan - swift and sure service with a smile :)
And thanks for all the other dates looking ahead to the end of SSG's first year - now all we need is an .ics file to make us really lazy and import into our calendars :P
Anniversary! 4/20/17@10am 5/9/17@3am
Where is the calendar located? When I click on the link above this post, it takes me to a blank calendar.
Thanks for the update! :)
nice so i can now see when seemingly will come the expansion,but more importantly the high elves. :)
Thank you Mr Cordovan. Ever so nice of you to provide us with the entire year's worth of festival dates. Looking forward to the 10th Anniversary!:D
Oh My God,
I came here to see if there was a new event schedule and got so excited when I saw it was updated, and it was scheduled for the rest of the year! Then after I could control my excitement started to see what events were planned. My dissapointment was huge when I saw there was only one VIP event for the rest of the year and we are still 9 months away from New year! no lootbox, mark acquisition, treasure or welcome back weekend! instead we have weeks and weeks of hobnanigans, which to me seems less popular than raiding (and thats saying something!). There was a guy asking for people to play on right field on hobnanigans for almost 3 hours... on ARKENSTONE!
I hope this list only has the fixed events since they already know the dates, but we need more than hobnanigans, way more, something different, kicking chickens seems to not only not be my thing, but not the thing of most of the player base that leaves those fields emptier than my wallet on Dec 26th.
Heh,nice so schedule for fests etc released,now just to wait for high elves.
Panic over Cenifh... Cordovan stated in this very thread that he updated the core festivals (which was super nice because we are used to getting only a few months of info at best) and not the ones that repeat (ie the ones you are asking about), and he'll update that when he can ;)
10 days to go till the Anniversary festival starts, hoping for that main page update and info on the special event mentioned somewhere above. I go away and come back 2 days into the festival start, would hate to miss something big.
I did not see any Treasure Hunts on the list. Just lots of Hobnanigans. Does this mean there will be no more buried treasures?
Title says it all... I expected a bit more from a 10 year anniversary, especially for those of us that have stuck with the game since beta. Hopefully there's more to it than the splash page indicates but that seems doubtful now. :(
And before the bashing starts about them not having to give anything to anyone I just want to point out that if they want people to resub to VIP, nothing about the anniversary seems enticing enough to do so for those that would be on the fence.
I would like to have the ending date of the 10th Anniversary confirmed. Not including the 10th Anniversary Scavenger Hunt (which is a separate, but overlapping event with the Anniversary).
I'm asking for this confirmation because:
- Within this Event Schedule topic, Message #1, the Anniversary's end date states "5/9/17@3am".
- Lotro-wiki's article says the Anniversary ends on May 8th, 2017 while citing SSG as the source. This source page does indeed state "May 8th".
- And finally, somewhere or other (which I cannot locate now), there was another (official?) article that stated the end date was May 10th.
I could understand if two consecutive days were stated - you end up in the confusion associated with the change of day - we see that all the time now with other Events where players think an event ends the next day (24 hrs later than posted). But we've got three consecutive dates, so either of two sets might be correct, and whichever two are correct will affect a player's own personal plans for participating in the Anniversary.
So, again, can you please confirm the ending date for the 10th Anniversary? TYVM.
Not an official comment, but your first 2 bullets are completely in agreement with each other and are advertised exactly as we've come to expect.
Note that bullet #2's source just gives an end date (no time) stating "through May 8th". "through" a stated date has come to mean "active all day server time on the advertised date and ending during the normal daily server reset which occurs at 3am the next morning." Therefore, "through May 8th" completely agrees with Cordovan's post that states the Anniversary end time is "5/9/17@3am" server time.
I think you can comfortably rely on the Anniversary event being up for the entire day of May 8th server time. It should shut off on May 9th at 3am during the normal daily server reset. If there's a third official source that states May 10th in any way, then that would be a conflict. I personally have not seen such a source, but if it's out there then it definitely needs to be corrected by SSG.
As I've done for many years now, I continue to suggest that players finish a full day early just in case. I personally will be finished no later than May 7th and will use May 8th as a bonus day if the event is still up and running.
I'm wondering about the exact end date of the anniversary event, too.
Date from the Lotro Schedule:
Anniversary! 4/20/17@10am 5/9/17@3am
Date from the Beacon #10 (English version):
This is the final weekend for the Anniversary Festival! The event runs through May 8th.
Date from the Beacon #10 (German version):
Das letzte Wochenende des Jubiläumsfests steht an! Das Event endet am 7. Mai.
It would be nice to have the exact date confirmed before the last weekend.
Awesome Cordovan to post this Thread/list.
As some of us do have alot of real life responsibilities, kids, work, school whatever it is nice to be able to plan to some degree.
Any chance of info ahead of the weekends boost as well ??? I mean like Loot Box Drop increase weekend, +crafting XP weekend etc ???
Maybe You guys do not plan those that far ahead and if so I understand.
Again Thank You for this list !!! The anniversary was held to exactly these dates and times so that was great and no confusion there. Although some rumors in-game started spreading on the 8th but thatr was just some that had not read this list and assumed it was going to end on the reset between 7th and 8th and they did scare some (me included) but You guys totally held this schedule here and ended it on the reset between 8th and 9th (3 am on the 9th, servertime) as posted. *clap* *clap* Well done !!!
Hi Cordovan.
I was wondering if you might consider creating a shared Google Calendar with the event schedule. Here is more information. https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37083?hl=en
Basically you would create a Google calendar with the game events and make it publicly available. Anyone could subscribe to this calendar and have those events show up on their own calendars (assuming they've selected to display the 'Lotro Events Calendar' on their own calendar, which can be ticked on and off as desired).
If this can't be officially done, then perhaps someone who is committed enough to ensure it's always up to date could make such a calendar to share with others here. I'd do it myself but I don't always stay up to speed on the latest event schedule. Ideally of course would be for someone on the Lotro team to maintain such an updated publicly accessible calendar.
Events schedule updated.
Thank you for the update Cordovan!
PS: can you change:
Lootbox Weekend 6/22/17@10am 6/26/17@3am
to...
Key Drop Weekend 6/22/17@10am 6/26/17@3am?
What happened to the Double Bonus Points? It used to be in rotation too. Is that going to return?
Nooooooooooooooo! I still have more keys than I know what to do with. I got a ton back when we got them all with our boxes when the new map deeds were created. And I still get a key about 50% of the time I open a lootbox. The past couple weeks I have finally gotten some lootboxes to use them on. More loot boxes please!
Um..
Send them to me lol I've gotten 48 lootboxes since they upped the drop rate during the festival - it's been insane. Key prices now sit at 40g+ in Landy AH, not sure why u have more keys than lootboxes at this current stage in landscape RNG...
Not a single key has dropped for any of my toons since they changed the rate (which is supposed to have gone back to pre-festival levels, although I just got 3 lootboxes today when simply questing in Wildemore).
Double bonus points used to be almost quarterly. What happened to them and will they return?
On the Mordor Beta 4 i saw at the Summer Festival 2 new Sunflower Cloaks and 3 new Sunflower Dresses for Female Chars, which are not on the Live Servers...So Tommorow the Summer Festival ends, but i hope, it will be extended for a week to get these new Items.
Can we get an updated schedule with weekend events???
The events schedule has been updated. Of most importance is that we're going to do a Summer Festival Encore starting on Thursday! (Also, yes, this includes the new items.)
Is there no longer any treasure hunt events?
Summer Festival encore right into the Farmer's Faire. Sweet.
Are there not going to be any Treasure Hunts for the remainder of the year?
I just noticed Ill miss most of harvest festival since I will be out of town until the 4th of September.
Can't we just switch harvest festival and fall festival around since I never do the Haunted House but love the harvest activities.
What new items can we expect? I am interested.
sweet! as I just realized I missed a mount I really was sorry I missed this year:)
SO excited for the Summer encore!! I can now do this with my High Elf :D Thank you!! <3
I think, the last Treasure Hunt was in March, so 2 Treasure Hunts a Year, the next will be in November, as every Year...,
they forgot it in the Schedule...
So Summerfest Encore is awesome, you will like it, you get 3 new Sunflower Dresses and 2 new Cloaks;),,,maybe more:)
Wow! Nearly a month of festival events! Thanks Cordovan!:) Can't wait to see this year's farmers faire mount!:)
Any chance at all of an extension for the Farmer's Faire? At least through the weekend? Pretty please? I feel like I didn't get to participate much, what with wrapping up my end-of-summer real life activities, and this faire is one of my favorites.
I will be working to update the Events Schedule in the coming days through the end of the year, but we currently have a Buried Treasure event that began today that runs through October 4th, being turned off 3:00am Eastern on October 5th.
The Events Calendar is now updated. It looks like we have just one weekend un-filled before the schedule is set for the rest of the year.
Heads up: We will be extending the Harvestmath Festival through November 5th, being turned off at 3:00am Eastern on Monday, November 6th.
Thank you kindly for this. It's a nice gesture for us non-Mordor people.
I have now updated the calendar to add two new entries, including a Fall Festival Encore which begins on November 30th and runs through December 10th!
Please stop with the encores. It should not be festival time most of the year. They should be special times that are limited in run. You already extended this festival, though that was partly hurt by the ill-advised changes to burrow chests.
Some of us altaholics like to actually have time for some of the other content but having a festival running can be difficult to ignore, feels like missing out.
OMG! Why didn't you tell me there was a fall festival encore!
Oh right you did.
Awesome. Thanks!
"VIP Event Boost 1/4/17@10am 1/8/17@3am"
I assume that is to be January next year (2018) and not us doing a time travel :)
Winter-home seems a bit empty, time to get this party started!
http://img.techpowerup.org/171214/yo...ike-an-elf.jpg
Should the VIP Event Boost be X/X/18 rather than X/X/17?
Please consider extending the Yule Festival past 1/8/18. Factoring in today's downtime, there are only 24 days in which to do the 20 days of the new repeatable quest, "A Fortune of Festive Spirit." Yes, yes, that's 4 extra days, but come on, it's holiday time and people travel and have other real life stuff going on.
Thanks for considering it,
Radian of Landroval
Agreed.
The Yule Fest should be longer. People are very busy this time of year making it more difficult to get online to participate.
We would appreciate a longer duration or an encore to the Yule festival, too. Without the former restriction of the third deed for the warsteed cosmetics there are tons of chars left to be led through the festival still and the Holidays were busier than usual, too. Please consider it to last longer or give an encore.
It would be nice to have the Events Schedule updated when time and weather permit. Btw: Happy New Year! :)
I was expecting a new events schedule today. Will we get one soon?
I will be working to update the calendar tomorrow, but here's the next couple weeks:
25% skirmish mark 1/11@10am 25% XP Boost 1/18@10am
