honestly this will really help soloing for me. I whistle to 45 and then explore to mq so it will definitely help

I like the idea that Paul is doing something, in my opinion, this so called event should be a permanent fixture in the game.
To me, an event is something that is worthwhile to go to and be part of, as most of you have said, you basically just Whistle,

Making this a permanent fixture in the game is better all round.

I hope these bonuses are just a stepping stone towards a real update regarding gameplay, voted no as it doesn't even affect exploring really. I always thought warmlights were only useful in solo explore and in MM is only useful at higher levels

Casters in an explore group would probably disagree... Less shrining is always a plus

This

This. Nice with this new thing

no shrining is always a plus! lights are usually just needed after evils (in full groups at least)

It really not that useful in mm, or at least not for us in ua, we run out of mana on only 2encounters in the end map, none at all if we are bit lucky and no fish/comfrey is used

Anyhow once again for soloing this is great

I earlier said that most would say no, and a majority of the group has yet to vote (or most don't care and nulled like I did) however like Hayden and a few others stated, this activity IS nice and it is good to see something happening with the game again. I also agree an update is needed (desperately) to reinvigorate the game and add more dimension, depth and fun to our everyday gameplay. Profs and items for skilling really aren't enough, even for the Hardcore climbers and even Labby can only get so many GP's before it becomes pointless.

This bonus in particular, is only useful IF you encounter them at the right times during solo. Many times you will explore and NOT find them until after you have either leveled, or stepped out of the catacombs to shrine. This is known as the law of Murphy and is truth (truly prevalent in LS). Although that is luck, in LS the worst case scenario is the norm and that means this usually happens quite frequently. The other problem is that you may not even FIND a warmlight (like chests, wells and EP enconunters) and that can make most say screw it as well. Again, the RNG in effect. I am not saying this shouldnt have been added, but double effectiveness AND % chance to spawn would have made it MUCH more useful and helpful to groups/solo players to make solo more desirable an options.

What are these 'evils' you speak of Dante? I looked for them as we explored 55-MQ and did not see any!
