Seems like some people are giving double standards. Enjoy your partying suckers, partying can be done anytime...

May i know what reason do you have to call people suckers? And you seriously expect the New Year celebration to be held at any other time of the year? What an utter nonsense.
Sometimes it's better when you do not post VcentG.


And i do not agree with those saying partying equals getting drunk and wasted. Maybe it is how you do it but i assure you there are also people who can enjoy themselves without overdosing pleasures.

Anyone know if the double xp is for wakfu as well?

I'd have considered it if I had any of the dofus plushies D: but from what I've heard it just takes too long for them to ship for me to even bother XD.

Suckers is a joking term, I don't even know of a serious way to use it. I'm sure we've all seen one of those old movies where the bad guy steals something and he's like "See ya later... Suckers!!!!!" It's not even big enough to be considered an insult, unless you are indeed sucking on something and people nickname you sucker to keep reminding you of that, but that's another story for another drunken night. New years is only 1 night, I don't see how that should affect a weekend-wide event. :< Take your own advice and gtf0 if you can't even comprehend that much.

Anyway, point is. You have 3 days of double xp, yet 1 new years. What's the problem? If you're missing out on the entire weekend because of whatever you're doing, then you're choosing to do so. If you're doing something you can't skip out on like work, then you still can't complain because it's just bonus so for that I'm saying some people need to change their stands on the challenge topic if they're going to complain here. Challenges are bonuses, I will accept that. This is a bonus as well, yet now you guys (obviously not all of you) can complain? What's the difference between getting IMPOSSIBLE (and I mean team-specific impossible, as in a group of average people getting blitzkrieg and to each his pwn vs a hard mob type of thing that they literally CANNOT do) challenges and having a double xp weekend? If you can't do them/attend, either way you're only missing out on BONUS XP. That's all I'm sayin'.

Gotta love how everyone who can't enjoy the full time always call those who can't "no lifers" or whichever word they want to use at that time. Just like in everything else, Dofus is a microcosm of the Real World. Our company used to always let people out an hour early on Christmas Eve ... just a nice "go home and enjoy time with the family" thing. Then one year a handful of people complained because they came in early and ended up still working a full day. Now ... no one gets to go home early any more.

Instead of looking at it and saying "well that was a nice gesture" people will look at it and say "do I get anything out of it?" Me me me me me me me me me. They can't even take a humane approach to it ... they can't combine those two reactions and say "Ya know, that was a really nice thing you did there. In the future, do you think you could do it like this and then we'd all get to enjoy it?" They can't combine the two because they never actually get that first feeling. It's just "Why the hell do you guys only do this when I can't benefit from it?!" Like the whole act of kindness to the majority was just a ploy to torture the few.


In the end, those people from my company came in expecting to work a full day and they did. The fact that the rest of the company got out early had no real effect on their lives and instead of trying to approach it proactively, they lashed out and lost any chance they ever had of reaping the benefits in future years.


Do you enjoy Double EXP weeks? If the answer is "Yes" then don't bitch when they happen. If you can't enjoy it then constructively write something up and try to make sure that the next one falls at a time when you can enjoy it. Don't lash out and act like a child who didn't get the last cookie ... because the parents will eventually just stop buying cookies altogether.

I already apologized for the lack of manners i used into some posts, but my point still stands.
Everyone who posted here "defending" Ankama has yet to lemme read a decent answer to a very simple question:

Why put a double exp reward on the 2 days out of the whole Jan month in which the servers are absolutely the less populated?

I might be a cold hearted being towards Ankama, but there is no explanation really about it.

I have just a 199,6 eca which would use the double exp, so i don't relly mind at all, but the point stands more in the theory than in the practical thing. If you wanna make players happy by giving such a gift, why make it happen when more than half of them won't be online? WHatever explanation you try to give it, it's a stupid idea both on the intelligence aspect and surely on the commercial aspect too. It's just like cutting yoursef.

I wont be around during the double xp weekend, but who is to say that it is the least populated time of the month, like some others have already pointed out a lot of teens and kids play dofus, too.
And many of them have not much to do this weekend let them enjoy the double XP I really don't see a problem here.

It's a 63 hour window as well, which is pretty generous in itself. Even if you go to a 12 hour new years eve party, then sleep that off for another 12 hours, you still have the best part of 2 days to participate. To be honest this weekend is as good as any for a lot of people. If it's done mid week, the majority of the population is at school/university/work. If it's done on any average weekend people have sport, general other stuff as well. Sure MOST people do something for new years eve, but I mean come on, it's 63 hours. If you are a dofus regular and can occupy a solid 63 hours where there's no time for dofus at all then how do you play at other times.

What If the idea behind this is to serve People hat dont have a Party to go to (or that cant go to a party because they are ill, got a child, whatever..)
