and what level legendary is that? because even at level 7, mine is only giving 40k% with magnify....and im assuming your 100% gold multiplier means you used it 4 times which is 364k% per use......

I have the level 5 legendary ring and golden legendary amulet for Thalia.

10 (base) * 17 (1600% ring buff) = 170

170 * 4 (300% amulet buff) = 680

680 * 3.5 (maxed talent) = 2380

2380 * 1.5 (magnify) = 3570

3570 * 3 (200% weekend buff) = 10710% per use

However, I'm not entirely sure how I got 1,456,560% after 4 uses. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

seems i had 234k% boost and then refresh drops it to 221k%....typical weekend bugs as always. never once will they get it right.

i got the same items as you, except for my ring being level 7. maybe its a level 5 bug and not 6 or 7....idk.

It didn't really make a difference, so I think it might have just been a visual bug. I normally clear area 135, and even with the resulting 4mil% I had by the end of the run, I still only cleared area 135.

i still think its stupid that after all this time (over a year), they still dont know how to make weekend buffs work properly. maybe some of them do work right, but its never the right ones for me at least.

I've never typed a line of code in my life, so I can't judge. With all due respect to the devs, this isn't Bethes- This isn't Square En-.......This isn't Capcom we're talking about here. There are not a gajillion people behind every update checking, re-checking, re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rechecking every installment. Mistakes are made, and that's okay.

From 234k you went down to 221k ... a decrease of 15k or not even 10% .. don't get too grumpy, please. It's not even confirmed there is a bug. And I'm siding with Animenut, here. It's not 'some that work', it's a few that might have a bug. It's five abilities per weekend buff. What were the last ones that didn't work properly?

The weekend buff helps it to be higher, but it's not the weekend buff causing it to be so ridiculously high. I've been noticing this with Storm Rider and the same gear before this as well. What's interesting is that I don't see these numbers when I go over to mobile for a reset. It looks like an insane boost in Steam, but it's a lot less insane on mobile.

But yeah, the math would say that currently with the weekend buff and that level of gear and the maxed out talent it should be 10,710% per each magnified Storm Rider. In game right now I see it saying 121,000% unmagnified (182,000% magnified). And after three uses it's showing 546,210% for the current multiplier. Jumping over to mobile just to check what's showing there... Oh hey, the mobile version's description includes the 400% gold gain from the level 5 amulet. Steam doesn't add that part. Anyway, mobile is showing each unmagnified use as 7140% (so magnified would be 10,710%, exactly as expected) and it's showing my current multiplier as 20,790% (although... 3 casts of 10,710% should have added up to 32,130%...) Jumping back over to steam... The tooltip now says each use should be 71,400% unmagnified (so that would be 107,100% magnified) and that the current multiplier is 20,790%. Weird.

Edit: 7140 x 3 = 21,420%. I thought I'd check that because maybe the 20,790% could have been the total for the unmagnified Storm Riders, as if magnify was broken and not doing what it's supposed to. It doesn't quite match up though...

@andreas: its a bug of some sort, either cosmetic or actual. storm rider is one of those that always(99%?) succeeds in failing to be working as intended. i'll be as grumpy as i like about it because like i said, over a year of this happening...

Who doesn't like a beneficial bug? They are much more amusing than the normal weekend buffs. Personally I loved the couple weeks where Mindy was broken. Storm Rider being OP for a weekend? I say Thank-You!

Just enjoy the quirkiness of the game and the devs' sense of humor, like thier brilliant April Fool's prank. I hope the devs don't let any frogs dissuade them from future plans ;)

On another, slightly OT, note weekend buffs are useless in general anyway and usually are better off ignored than catered to.

Like Amanda said, MAYBE weekend buffs would be more worth demanding consistently-working mechanics if they actually made a huge difference. However, as-is, they only work as minimal "nudges". Newer players likely get more out of them than anyone else, which is fine. Mid-and-upper-tier players end up getting...like...2-4 more areas out of weekend buffs, maybe, which amounts to...3 more idols? Weekend buffs seem to exist for two main reasons...

1) Quirkiness.

2) To help newer players make a little extra progress over the weekend.

did you perhaps have Mindy effect Thalia. wouldn't account for all of your beneficial bug but i have had it in the tens of thousands after only a few used.

Nope, I did not have Mindy anywhere near Thalia, but that was an interesting idea. I just checked and weekend buffs are not considered formation abilities, so it wouldn't have worked anyway.
