Your DP decays naturally, wether you are online or off, originally I think it was over a 3 week period which works out as about 5% a day, but it seems Much faster than that...
Anyway, the new DP pacts accelerate that process.. I have had messages saying "DP cleared" halfway through a fight - when i had about 1% remaining at the start of the fight.

It does encourage people to do non-game stuff - but eating/sleeping/working all need to be done sometime I suppose
:P

Having never been that bothered about DP, only exception when I need to hit a specific crafting level at a specific time (The Story of the Sleeves), I find the new tickets a nice addition to the game.

As the tickets cause DP loss over time, it doesn't mean you have to log! It just means you carry on doing what you would do normally and your DP goes faster!

I didn't need the tickets, but they are a good money sink, think I spent about a million dappers on them on Monday.

Yes, NtM was in full effect on Monday.....

I estimate that I gained and lost approximately 5+ million DP in one day. But what a day! Most at any one time 3 Mill (I get about 300-400K DP a death :P )

Ask Turke, Kyrena and various others who joined me on the MADDEST Hunt ever.

Started off as a lets collect Named mob mats ..... ended up with killing Vispa in GOC. (Bows to Rawpure, DoubleTap, et al... with the current hunt bug that had to be the best fight in ages, real shows that experinced players know what skill to use and when)

We not only hunted IN the spawns, we hunting IN the migration paths of mobs that we could just about handle 1 or 2. I think the people that hunted with me gained alittle DP that was soon cleared and a few levels as well!

I would like to thank all the people that came to rez me and my various team members....... got to the point were a call for a rez went like this...

Neun say: errr
Neun say: Guess what :P
Various GOC residence: LOL

My only comment about the whole afternoon was....

Its the just so much fun! I guess my team mates also thought the same cas they stuck with me most of the day :D

Best Fight: Vipsa (Named Cuttler at the Kami TP came a close second)
Funniest moment: Chasing Munchie 'Benny Hill style' cas he refused to aggro anyone.
Silliest moment: Following the Onyx Migration through the Jug migration!
Fastest XP gathering: The Onxy after returning home... clearing the spawn twice before they set off back on their holidays
Most relaxing moment: Watching Illuminati kill Carpykan (lost the dapper I bet on Carpy :P )
Most frustrating moment: Look everywhere in the Fount for named mobs only to be killed by the only one (other than Death Ragus) we found.

So thanks for the a rez's :D

*bows*

Well you just saw how much fun organized chaos is on hunts Neun ;) .
Trust me you should have seen us taking Kincherkan. We pulled too many minions the first time, so we scattered (with aggro range at 50m it's getting easy to outrun a Kincher) but then died from all the normal aggro in the area :p .
So back to the tp, running back to Kincherkan (oh yeah, wiping the NPC village on the way because as Tinil said "the trip has to be as fun as the fight") and finally managed to pull him alone. By that time we're keeping a very close eye on his minions (think they found a way of multiplying, when we killed him there were probably something like 70 Kinchers back at his lair)... it looked pretty impressive when they all lay dead :) .
