Preview 6/24/2020 | Honor PVP Public Test + The Beach Blanket Burglar Returns!

[Jausa]

I think that those restrictions are good. They give more of a thrill to the game. Players should be prepared in a way that they can counter and be countered. Not just adapt immediately, which is boring in my opinion.

Sounds great idea this honor pvp
Well maybe is to early to say, but I was thinking if it possible maybe in the future to split the honor set to
CHARACTER equipment set (armor, helmet, weapon ) and
3 types of character set
ACCESSORIES intel, str, dex type (ring, amulet,artifact, belt )
In order to balance some of our stats.
So if someone wants something more than his primary stat , to sacrifice some primary stat for the stat he wants by choosing a deferent type of accessory.

On your Honor, Honor PvP starts tomorrow!

It's an even playing field where your raw skill is your only advantage. Honor PvP is a new end-game mode in Arcane Legends PvP that takes awakenings, enhancements, and even most pets out of the picture and pits you against your fellow Legends.

Note: Honor PvP is only accessible via the gear and portal available in Vardan Valley. It is not accessible via the PvP menu on the World Map.


Here's how it works:

- Visit Vardan Valley and make sure you've completed all of the town quests, then chat with Goody Wells.

Attachment 193267

- Purchase the 8-piece set of Honor Gear for 100 Vales. This set will include 1 piece of gear for each slot, plus one of each class weapon, as well as 3 honor PvP pets. As an example only, here is what the Honor Set looks like on a completely unspec'd character for each class. Attribute points and skills will impact these base stats.

Attachment 193308

- Equip all gear and one honor weapon, then summon your Honor PvP pet (optional). Now you're all set to enter The Arena of Honor portal! The portal is accessible in Vardan Valley Towne near Buddy and the Mogera hole.

Attachment 193268

- From here, things start to look pretty familiar. For now, there is only one Honor PvP Mode: Team Death Match. As we continue to test and balance the Honor system, we'll look to expand to other modes as well.

Attachment 193269

- Don't forget! Once you're in the map, you can not change your gear. You can summon a different 'Honor PVP' pet but you are not allowed to change any wearable gear in the Honor Arena.

And, well, you know what to do from there, Legends! Fight hard and fight well.

Another note: Part of the the Honor PvP Code is: Thou shalt not wear Honor Gear outside of PvP. In fact, doing so will give you a debuff in PvE scenarios, so don't forget to change out of it when you're done!


Public Test Feedback

The biggest part of new major features like this is--you guessed it--YOUR feedback! Similar to the Last Legend Standing update, we'll open a Feedback Thread where we want to hear it all: Feedback, suggestions, bug reports, etc.

This kind of feedback loop allows us to balance and adjust things quickly and fine-tune the experience in a way that's best for all Legends. Of course, that also means that things may change, such as stats, restrictions, and other gameplay elements to keep things fun and balanced. Just a heads up!

Here are some of the things we'd love your feedback on specifically:

• Overall class balance and stats. The even playing field is key here. Does everything feel balanced for a fair fight?
• A handful of Honor PvP pets are available (but don't do any of the crazy stuff many of our top pets do). We want to hear how those come into play and any changes you'd like to see.
• How do you feel about the restrictions? Should you be able to swap weapons and/or honor pets during a match, or is it better to be locked in?

We're looking forward to hearing what you all think. Here's our official Honor PvP feedback thread: https://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...-PVP-(Phase-1)

What comes next?

• Tentatively, the public TDM test will run for a week (6/25 - 7/2) while we collect feedback and make adjustments.
• Once Honor TDM feels solid, we'll start work on Honor Last Legend Standing to see how the new system works in this new mode.
• After all of that we'll look into Honor as an option for Ranked PVP. The plan is to have Standard Ranked PVP and Honor Ranked PVP, each of them with their own leaderboard banner rewards every season.

In Other News: The Beach Blanket Burglar is BACK!

Attachment 193309

Cap'n Flotsam is at his antics again and determined to put a damper on everyone's summer by stealing their fanciest summer vanities! It's up to YOU to stop him. But, Flotsam is no amateur. You'll need a Beach Brew Elixir if you're interested in spotting the nefarious pirate and taking back the goodies he stole.

Attachment 193300

Visit Elvis, the dashing Skipper, in most major Arlor towns to get started. He'll have the Beach Brew Elixir, along with some special beach-ready vanities (bound) available for event tokens, and the Locked Beach Burglar crate (more on that in a second!)

Down that elixir and head out with your party to search for Cap'n Flotsam! He'll spawn randomly in any Arlor map. Slaying the swindling shark will give you the chance to drop:

• Event Tokens
• New colored Swimsuits (Green, Orange, Pink, Purple and White)
  
  Attachment 193304
• Locked Beach Burglar Crates (see below)

Locked Beach Burglar Crates

These limited-edition crates can be opened for 5 plat and have a chance to drop tradeable versions of the three new event vanities (below), along with Legendary gear up to level 75 and Level 76 Arcane gear and weapons. Keep an eye out for:

• Killer Shark Costume
  
  Attachment 193301
• Deep Sea Diving Suit
  
  Attachment 193302
• And, a class-specific Shipwreck vanity based on one of our favorite sea-worthy sitcoms. (Can you name it?)
  
  Attachment 193303

Best of luck out there! If I have any advice to give, it's to bite that shark before he gets the chance to bite you! XD The Beach Blanket Burglar event will run for 2 weeks, from 6/25 - 7/9.

killer shark costune on war is soo dam good, but look at rogue.... how could that "chest" isn't covered.. its made bad looking of it...

[Pinklips]

This is how PVP should work. Our skills and team coordination should matter and not richness. Till now PvP in AL was only dominated by the Richies who spent crazy amount of gold to get those ridiculously op stats ( I saw one rogue with 13k damage and 12k armor).. Hopefully this new system will give chance to all and revive the PvP of Al.. And as for the restrictions, I think it's fine as it is now and it should be there. But offcourse we can say more about it after we play. Rank system is another good initiative. Overall it looks good

[Leebazhafe]

Nice minievent / btw i really love the idea for this honor pvp since i got nab gear and its soo hard to fight in cap pvp rn too much pros.....btw if this will go into the game, will kills be counted? like for aps and what not......

[Oakmaiden]

I recognize the Skipper n Gilligan but the rogue resembles neither Ginger or Mary Ann. Might I suggest jean shorts and a bandanna red blouse tie in front with a straw hat?

[JOHN37]

I have only one issue that i would like to be answered,
By scaling down all classes stats to essentially lvl 1 gear, is it also to say that warriors now as always play the role as tanks , with Mages as support and rogue as always damage dealers??
Because that way, everyone would be dependent on rogues, which contradicts a level playing field.

[Ipooponfifteens]

Too bad it's only valid for level 76 players, the rest of the community feels left out, not everyone wants to do pvp at level 76 it would be more fun if there were more options for the rest of the community, you can easily apply a ''search per level function'' so that endgamers and twinks can both win rewards each season without seeing endgamers and twinks on the same leaderboard page, maybe an idea for the future ��

[Nishim]

Buy legend weap rog 100gl/myth belt 50/60gl

XD Players talking about warrior hp

Just look at how rouges looking XD

[Eugeni000]

nice thank you STS!

[Xxsoifongxx]

That’s what make them great, if you played 4 years ago pvp, you would agree that back in the days pvp was way more cool.. adding MS would remove the concept of Honored PvP.. Speedset is one of the worst implementations to pvp (imo).

“4 years ago” and ofc I played without speed set those days but it’s so common now for speed I just can’t play the game without one anymore, it’s modern times for AL and speed is the norm, besides it Don’t affect the skill
