Thread: New Event Perks: 8 hours from PURCHASE?

Just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this. It seems these very cool (although very expensive) perks only lastfor 8 hours from the time you PURCHASE them - not from when they are placed. This makes it rather difficult to purchase each item (without knowing exactly what you want ahead of time), put together everything for the event , travel to the event site, and then set up the items (say placeing stuff in treasure chests, etc) without eating up an enormous amount of timeon these things.


I even spent 15K on a display item that I wanted to use later, only to have it removed from my inventory after 8 hours (overnight). That was a huge waste of credits....but I guess the Devs are looking for money sinks right now.


Anyway, I think these things should have a lifespan of 8 hours from the time of PLACEMENT. That way we're not having to race to a location andhurridly set up an event because the timer is running ona number ofexpensive"deeds".

For some, 15k is a lot. And still, it is a lot for something that only lasts for eight hours.

noobs arent supposed to hold server player events...


i personally spent over 20 mil when i hosted an event with 100+ people for christmas... and 8 hours is fine...they last just dandy for a player event that only lasts 1 to 3 hours at best...

I think 8 hours is a little bit low... Should be changed, in my opinion.

Some people don't have a lot of money to throw around, and "noobs" should be allowed to host some events to some degree. Who says you have to be a veteren player to host parties and such?

Some Event tool perks last for longer than 8 hours, noteably the Lottery droids


And...20 million for a Christmas party? God almighty, what did you spend it on? Ive held more events than I can remember, many being up to that size...and collectively, Ive probably spent no more than 2-3 million...

8 hrs from placement would be cool.


imagine you do a multi planet event with several NPCs

the perks would vanish before you could place them

The treasure chest need to last a lot longer then 8 hours. a couple of months would be cool or until they are looted 3 or 4 times.
