22 Nights of Terror Holiday Event

checked with 98 hero in WSK, and xp boost is applied, in addition to already "standard hidden 25% xp" for any usual tz... as somebody wrote already, it is only achieved by killing in tz so you won't see it listed, unlike MF which is present anywhere...

My extra experience is still listed as +10% To Experience Gained. I'm not seeing any additional exp boost on the character screen. Anyone remember from past events if the exp boost shows on the LCS or is it a hidden boost?

You're probably thinking of the event that granted an XP bonus everywhere (regardless of TZ or non-TZ). They had a day with extra XP in previous years' events, and I think that one did show up on the character screen (I could be mistaken, someone correct me if I'm wrong).

The bonus is that TZs (and only TZs) grant an additional +25% XP. The word "additional" is probably

Key here - all TZs normally grant a +25% XP modifier, this is a hidden bonus that is not displayed anywhere (as far as I know). The event simply increases it from +25% to +50%, as far as I understand. It's still a hidden bonus which only applies to TZs specifically, I'm guessing that's why it doesn't appear on the character screen. Yes, it is absolutely confusing, and yes, the bonus should be shown on the character screen when you're in a TZ, but it is what it is.

Thanks to War The Wise we have this google sheet from the previous events. But I don't see a general xp bonus event in there. A Heart-Warming Experience is always limited to

Terror zones.

Huh, there wasn't an XP bonus day besides the one that only affect TZs? Wow, my Memory is worse than I feared
Thanks, atari! (edited my post)

The NPC Vendor prices 50% off sounds like a fun event for gambling.

Same with stuff like +100% movement speed and "all heroes get item find" - I always wondered how this "item find" would feel like.
Too time consuming? Or fun?
Never played a barb.

I kind of like the ideas they had in 2023, it gave the players more stuff to experiment with.

Obviously getting +250% MF is a nice buff, but in the end, it doesn't change anything in the game. You find (slightly) more items, but that's it.

Today there's only 8 consecutive

Terror Zones so it appears the 19 Zones are going to spread across two different days. That means the next will include 9 new TZs.

Blizzard counts every single level. Catacombs are 4

Terror zones and so on.
The news also said it will be the same

Terror zones during the entire event.

If it's true, it's a pity...
no travi, no tombs, no pit ...

And why

Tristram ???

The 19

Terror Zones aren't all active at once instead, they will rotate or appear in chunks across days, splitting the 19 zones, into 8 in one set and 9 in the next. I haven't verified this yet but this is what's be rumored and so far it seems to be right but we will kno if and when it changes.

Thanks for your earlier answer, yea makes sense that it's a hidden buff.

I also thought there was a general XP bonus during a past year's event

It is 19 right now, this is what we're getting. They count each floor as a TZ, so Catacombs 4, WSK 5 (

Baal's chamber counts too), etc.

Catacombs Level 1-4

Tristram
Moo Moo Farm

Durance of Hate Level 1-3
The

Chaos Sanctuary

Nihlathak's Temple

Halls of Anguish,

Halls of Pain and

Halls of Vaught

Worldstone Keep Level 1-3

Throne of Destruction
The

Worldstone Chamber
In sum 19 levels. This is what Blizzard counts as 19

Terror zones. It was the same with winter terrorland in 2024 and 2023.

Correct, it was TZ's specifically so this grants an incremental 20% since TZs already have a passive 25% increase.

I figured people may wonder the 20%, so example below.

Assuming clvl98 let's say you are doing a standard ToD TZ clear you would get around 398K XP Per Run. With the 25% increase (buff), that is now 477K per run) --> 20%

I don't doubt your math, but counting a single

Terror Zone divided by its levels into multiple zones seems a bit of a stretch even for Blizzard.

but it is so, divided by its levels... nothing is too stretched for Blizz;-)

u need to explain a bit, like: 477-398 = 79, and 79/398 = 0.2 (20%)
or, as i prefer to teach my students with factors (they simplify so much, beautiful tools), 1.25 already exists, so to get 50% total increase, u need to multiple that 1.25 with 1.20 to get 1.50...
shame it isn't 1.25x1.25, we would have 56.25% xp bonus
