Do bosses only drop ankhs during events or is this 24/7?

Just for the next week (starting tomorrow).

[Flamesofanger]

Omg the expansion point got me!!! You rock justg! o_o

[Azerothraven]

2018 is a bless for AL...

I personally like the idea of all mini events/sales except

Jewel Chest Sale
Magma Sale
Ripmaw Sale
Slag Sale

I know they are kinda tradition but lots of better eggs choice these days and jewel chests are too costly to open

"- Best. Expansion. Eva."


LOOL

One thing i noticed which i thought was cool in game is how during winter you could see the list of up coming sales in the shop..
If something like that could be implemented as a permanent feature would be nice.. and even better if it could be used for upcoming x2 events.

However the x2 events at the moment seem to be just like on randomly maybe once or if your lucky twice in a year...

what if the x2 events could be put into a weekly rotation? only stopping when for example a "Best. Expansion. Eva." or particular big events drop.

At least then with the x2 events on a constant rotation each week got a cheeky little something to look forward to ^.^ maybe like a friday till tuesday with a 2 day cool down till next one starts ... with 10 2x events listed above an with say 52 weeks in a average year.. can at least be sure each x2 event can pop up at least 5 times each throughout the year ^.^

an having a cheeky few respec an ankhs added too boss loottable is something im sure no one could complain about :3

[Kairihearts]

Yaaasss I need double mass tokens

[Lethoiun]

I mean maus points above lol won't let me edit

[TipsyLife]

I feel like the 2x dragkin teeth, the 2x hauntlet tokens, and gauntlet event isn't necessary anymore and should be replaced.

[Kershy]

Expansion means new level cap right?

[Alfabeast]

When does season ends

Really glad to see gauntlet coming back and really looking forward to it when it does.
The issue with most 2X event like orc tags, teeth and such is that the token vendors for these don't have much to offer IMO. Which is what makes these 'events' somewhat unpopular.

I've been thinking about something that would increase interest in AL for some time now. I used to post my ideas on this forum, but it's been a couple of years since I've posted any big ideas. But here is something....

How about building a mechanism into the game to have regular PvP tournaments. Not something that needs to be organized by players or by a moderator, but tournaments that can be built into the game. How would this work?

1) Have a new arena -- it could look like the arena where you duel.

2) In each town, there should be a second leaderboard-like sign, that lists the current day/time, and day/time of the next tournament.

3) When the time of the next tournament comes, a button will appear on the tournament sign and the first 32 players (could be 16, or 64, 128, etc.) to press this "sign-up" button will be signed up for the tournament, which will begin 60 seconds later (i.e. Players who have registered will have 60 seconds from sign-up to equip the pet/gear they need before being automatically summoned to the first fight)

4) Players will be randomly matched against another player for a best of 3 battle (same as a duel), and the field of 32 will then be eliminated down to 16, then down to 8, 4, 2, and then the winner.

5) There can be brackets (maybe of different sizes?) for different level groupings. Obviously endgame would be a bigger bracket with more players, but maybe have smaller brackets for some twink levels.

6) These tournament duels count towards your duel totals in your stats.

7) The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each bracket receive a non-tradable, non-stashable unique banner in Gold, Silver and Bronze colors which will stay in their inventory and can be worn temporarily until the next tournament in that same level bracket begins, at which time it will disappear from their inventory to be awarded to the next set of winners.

8) The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers for the most recent tournament in each level bracket will be listed on the leaderboard.

9) And here is what I think is the most interesting part: If you click on the tournament sign during the tournament, you can see live updates on who is winning against who as the field narrows down. And maybe the final match in each bracket can be watched later on replay (if this is possible).

10) Perhaps have these tournaments scheduled for once per week, and vary the time they occur so that players from all different time zones will have a chance to participate at some point.

This is just an idea I've been thinking about for a while. Not sure how big of an undertaking this is, but all the parts are in place, so no new graphic design has to be programmed, just the organization part of this.

Any thoughts?

I like your idea but I suggest to modify something. To enter the tournament should be required a little amount of gold. Brackets 1-33 needed 5k to enter tournament, brackets 34-66 10k to enter tournament. Its a symbolic amount but I d like there are also gold amount as reward like 100k 75k and 50k for the first 3 places..just a tought..and at the end of tournament..System will say "ign" won the tournament. All the other rules..are fine to me

About your question..well yea there are some "mini events" which will not be useful as it was in the past.
X2 glint coins/ cryo coints -> no need anymore
X2 hauntlet tokens -> no need anymore

Seems I cant modify my post so I ll write 1 more..
X2 elixirs I think it's not needed...

While X2 orc fangs..X2 teeth X2 speed northal n cryo are still cool cause there are players who run elites and are still have ok loots.

About plat sale I dont find useful
Ripmaw magma and abaddon sales...the eggzavier let us get enough eggs..we will not need more during the year..

About new ideas..well I suggest 2 minor events..

- week double odds from massive crates (double chance to find double arcane/set items). Since expansion is still far..get more accessible those rare items..

- awakening gems event. It was a great event used to release awakening gems..with lb and banner..you should do it every year!
