Rebirth Potions not expiring on the 28th
As the subject suggests, this is a complaint regarding the stated expiration of the Rebirth Potions from the event
http://mabinogi.nexon.net/News/All/3/00J1F/timed-rebirth-eventIt clearly states on the
Rebirth Potions that it
will expire when the
event ends, and that was not the case. Many players expected the rebirth pots to expire on December 28th as Nexon made clear. So the players that used their pots on the 27th/28th due to the expected impending removal of the Rebirth Potions are now lacking those 12~16 pots for the Double Rainbow.
http://mabinogi.nexon.net/News/All/1/00J2G/christmas-and-new-years-celebrationI just feel that there's some form of acknowledgement, or apology for not giving the community any warning, or notice is in order.
TL;DR
>Pots "
expire on the 28th"
>People spam their pots on last day
>
Doesn't expire as intended
>Double rainbow

Rebirth, use RB potion to make RB available, so you would be level 1 with a rb available as well by the time DR comes around.
Aside from that, we got a free RB potion with the Caravan Joe/Taun package iirc that had 30 days on it. If nothing else, people had that one available.
No one is out anything at all. No compensations are necessary in my opinion.
I get that having pots available for DR would be most desirable, but you still got free rb pots, you still got to use them, still got to lv....not like you lost anything.
Sure you might not be able to rebirth for DR, but you can still grind levels.
If you used them and leveled with them then you didn't lose them.
But this is like being safe AND sorry!
Oh, man. :T
Spamming 10 rebirth potions there in the "last minutes" of the rebirth event to get SOMETHING out of it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity when you can realize now that you could've gotten at least twice as much more AP out of that culmination of time(or electricity lol) spent on earning the potions.
I'd probably be more upset if the character I'd used for the event wasn't already capped.
Now I can just feel bad for everyone who could've got more than they got had they known the potions wouldn't actually expire the moment the event ended.
Just better not hear anyone who didn't use their potions, and therefore still has them for this DR, tell others not to complain.
but if not for that would still have had 2 rebirths ready for double rainbow using methods missfortune said.
it's kind of sad nothing got said about it, and the lack of transparency from staff for this game is something that bothers me, but this kind of thing has been happening A LOT recently. definitely not justifying it, some notice should have been put up and fair enough to complain. but it shouldn't be surprising either.
at the end of the day everyone should have been able to easily plan 2 rebirths in double rainbow at the very least regardless of what happened with the "expiring" potions - so it's not toooooo bad of a loss.
the only thing i can speculate that may have happened is, the potions were really supposed to expire but the fact that they didn't was a mistake? like it somehow broke unintentionally? and since nexon staffs are on holiday maybe they didn't have the people available to properly address the situation and fix it? so the potions just got left and those who still have some can use them. after a mistake like that, "fixing it" and taking away the potions JUST before double rainbow happens would have made majority of players rage more than just leaving them. idk if that's actually what happened but yeah.
We do not need compensation for what happen. We did not receive less than what we were told we were going to receive. We were told two things. Rebirth potions would be available until the 28th. We would have a DR in the 31st. Both of those things came true.
Instead of viewing it as you got screwed up, view it as others got lucky. Beside, if you planned correctly you should have been coming in to the DR with 2 rebirth, and starting at level 1.
Instead of being sad for yourself, be happy for those who got it.
As for what happened, many things could have. I doubt they weren't meant to expire since it was stated everywhere. Maybe a glitch or an employee thought it would be nice to give some of us a treat. Whatever the reason, even if the potions were not meant to expire, we got what we were told we were going to get.
Some just got a little more.
I had to use them all in a rush (making about 50 level per rebirth) before the 28th.
If I had know the notice was wrong (or that they'd forgot to remove the pots), I would have kept them for the Double Rainbow, but there was no way of knowing that, so I don't really regret using them, I still got many levels/AP out of them.
And as others already stated, you could have prepared your double rainbow to get the most out of it, which I did. I rebirthed the 27, didn't level then I used another rb pot (and I still have caravan joe's rb pot). That's 3 whole rebirths.
And finally, @Catbark , that thread probably only exists because YOU didn't get to use your rebirth potions during double rainbow, I'm sure you wouldn't have complained if you still had them, even if the "unfairness" is still the same.
*holds up cane* back in my 2011 days our events and items were released seamlessly!
although in this particular case i dont think compensation is viable since the pots were "supposedly" never meant to be used for this DR; having both at the same time is merely a convenience, not the players' right. i voted no to compensation.
