Awesome!

[TuMadreee]

Kewl.

Are the new pets going to be plat-only ?

[Ebezaanec]

Cool!

[Samhayne]

Kewl.

Are the new pets going to be plat-only ?

There will be dropped and farmable pets in the event. The Pumpkin one on 10/10 and next one on 10/17 will be for Plat from the stable.

[Drearivev]

Yay, the event seems pretty cool!

[izPrada]

i thought spook is new companion ;(
its nice to have pumpkin head in my collection ;)

[Spyce]

Sweet, cant wait!

[bronislav84]

Will the plat pets be back next Halloween? I'm low on plat cause I missed the sale, and something tells me they're going to be 250 plat.

[Kaytar]

Thren asked me to find out the specs of the pets. Will the information be posted prior to tomorrow's release?

[keikali]

How much are the plat pets going to be? And you mentioned farmable ones. I'm guessing they're different than the stable ones.

How many new pets in total for this event?

[Angels]

Love it

[drgrimmy]

Nice!

Necro-nom-nomicon... I guess an evil dead/army of darkness reference?

Edit: I guess originally from HP Lovecraft..

[falmear]

[Spook-filled quests and adventure are coming soon to Arcane Legends! The Halloween Event will include new pets to collect, a series of daily quests, new armor and items, Achievements and more!.


Are any of these new armor and items going to be mythic?

[cirrusn]

Make mythics available in chests with a higher percentage :) I need another twink hehe

[Anthony Nguyen]

THATS TOMORROW!!!, Sam what time tomorrow will jacks be released??

[Derezzzed]

I hope it's something like 40 plat each but it's probably gonna be 90 each :/

[parnasofication]

Will the (farmable) pets stop dropping as well after halloween? Or just the ones that are plat-exclusive?

[Zeus]

I saw achievements. Now, will those be available for people after the event? Otherwise, most people can't hope to get on the leaderboards on the future.

Just trying to point out a potential problem,

Parth

[Zorlone]

Cool! Will have fun farming pets this weekend

[Alhuntrazeck]

[Beastkeeper]

[Haligali]

oh a suggestion:

Can you please choose another name for the new pet today? we alread have 2 jack(jack, flap jack) pet, it just makes more difficult to search in the cs.

edit: nvm, plat only

[Ixyris]

There will be dropped and farmable pets in the event. The Pumpkin one on 10/10 and next one on 10/17 will be for Plat from the stable.

Do the farmable pets stop to be available after 5th? Or just the plat ones?

New pet today 10/10 name is Jacks and is farmable. Pet on 10/17 is platinum only.

[Samhayne]

To clarify, farmable pets come out on 10/24 when the Halloween Event starts.

Jacks, the pumpkin pet that comes out today is 90 Platinum.

All of the Halloween themed pets will no longer be available when the event ends on Nov. 5th.

[bronislav84]

How about next Halloween Sam? Only seems right to bring them back.

Just. for clarify and for curious like me , u said new armor and items but armor is an item , so u mean vanities? or u dont update new vanities?
Ty

[Zuzeq]

Should just stat preview now, just in case crying is in store.

[Ixyris]

I bet Jacks arcane ability will be to explode :p

Anyway I don't think it has good stats. It's more like a "vanity pet"

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2

[Derezzzed]

If the stats are anything like snowballs it's not worth 90plat

[Ravager]

Snowballs stats suck but he was cheap as well.

Really hoping you guys made the pumpkin pet good then. Because if its garbage and won't do anything for me except look silly. im not wasting my plat

[Raito Yagami]

wooow can't wait... hehehe
thanks for all the work
i love the game =)

To avoid confusion with Flapjack, we've changed the Pumpkin Pet to be named Ewen.

Ewen?

So I'm guessing when I see the stats, I'll be EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEENNNN at it? Pun intended.

Is the heal a set amount or is it based on the pets level? And how long does the arcane ability last? 2 seconds? 4 seconds? 5 ?

[Zuzeq]

Looking ok for a Mage. DmG is like a requirement for Rogue these days.

[Carapace]

The heal scales based on pet's damage, which scales with level. The buff applied from the ability lasts for 8 seconds.

Awesome thank you

[izPrada]

any clue for farmable pet? picture at least. ;)

[Haligali]

Not rly, its a warrior pet imo.

[Asphiroth]

What about the cooldown for the arcane ability?

[Zanpakuto]

Love him! I hope there will be shadow vanities or shadow pets! I like samael's look, but he's not quite creepy enough and moves like a slug! Glad to see the darkside starting to come! At first I thought this was going to be a cute and cuddly game for kids forever haha

[bronislav84]

Still waiting on yes or no for next Halloween. Only seems right for this to be a seasonal pet.

[Hectororius]

The Plat only pets are now being designed so that any class can use the pet, Hence the Bonus to your Primary Stat.

Ewen seems to be a good all round pet buffing Primary, Health and Mana. His Arcane is good for all classes too.

[VelvetBlossom]

I saw achievements. Now, will those be available for people after the event? Otherwise, most people can't hope to get on the leaderboards on the future.

Just trying to point out a potential problem,

Parth

Was any light shed on this matter? Because this poses as a problem for me as I will be on vacation next week and won't be back until 2nd week of Nov.

[Samhayne]

There will only be two Halloween achievements and they will not have very big AP points, specifically because they will only be available during the event. We don't want those who have them to have a big advantage AP point wise over someone who doesn't.

There will also be similar time limited achievements for the coming Winter Event in December as well. We plan to follow the same plan of having only a few per event and having them not contribute big AP points.

[arun_may16]

Cool

[Anigrazas]

Can we still farm the pets if were level 15 or lower? I deleted my level 25 to make a low level instead

[Swede]

As long as you're level 10, all Halloween content is open to you.

[Imjebus]

<3 all I play is lvl10 so that works out perfectly. :D you guys deserve a gold star.

[Deathplague]

... What about sl!?

[xcainnblecterx]

Ewens damage and dodge buff last about 4-5sec and.cool down seems long, maybe 20-25 secs.

[Kaytar]

Thren wanted to add a little something. She says Snowball's stats should be buffed to be on par with the pumpkin pet.

[Zethz]

Cooooool

[Youtuber]

I hope the pet wont cost too much...lol...

[Powerawesomer]

A zombie pet should be available on 10/17
like the ones from Pocket Legends and cost 250 plat

[xcainnblecterx]

Thren wanted to add a little something. She says Snowball's stats should be buffed to be on par with the pumpkin pet.

Agreed. Cains poor snowman only gets used on easy runs as to save on food for the rest

[wowdah]

Awesome! Will there be an event for timed runs ?? :P

[Zanpakuto]

... What about sl!?

The amount of content updates is directly proportional to the popularity and the number of active players in a game. You should just come on over.

[Guildarts]

Nice update!

[Imjebus]

Are we going to get to see the next pet coming out soon or what haha :) I'm interested to see it

[Samhayne]

We will have details of the next pet on Thursday when it goes out. He's pretty cool! Hopefully I will have the opportunity to take some video of the pet in action as he has several very cool animations and fidgets.

[Kaytar]

Will it replace the pumpkin or will they both be listed?

[Samhayne]

Will it replace the pumpkin or will they both be listed?

Both the Ewen the Pumpkin and the new pet that will be available starting on Oct. 17th will be able to be purchased through Nov. 5th when all of the Halloween goodies go back to the spooky place from whence they came (until next year!).

[kharmel]

Oh,good i have waited to choose which spooky thingy pet suits me:)

[Serancha]

There will also be similar time limited achievements for the coming Winter Event in December as well. We plan to follow the same plan of having only a few per event and having them not contribute big AP points.

It doesn't matter though, if it is 5ap or 500ap. Whoever misses out on these limited time ap's will have no chance for the ap leaderboard ever.

What about people who start playing in January, say? They work their butts off and spend a fortune and get all their ap, just to fall forever 10 ap short of the board because they started the game 2 months too late?

Or a leaderboard player who has all their ap's but is out of town for a week and can't play, gets knocked off forever by the 25 peers who happened to be able to play during the event? These boards are that competitive, and to come up 5ap short would almost be worse than 500 - forever chasing the carrot dangling on the string that you can't ever reach.

[frejajoan]

Question about the Happy Holloween AP:
Will it also end Nov 5?
If so, there would be an AP that others can't have afterwards.. any fix on this please? :)

If you want little influence, why wouldn't you offer a 0 AP achievement and offer a pet, title, plat (lol, I can try), and/or gold instead (like the I'm AFK ap).

110% agreed and correct. Totally unfair to those unable to get those AP in this limited time. LB is permanent and every content in it should also be. Even 1 AP point will be crucial to everyone. If il be unable to get the AP on this specific dates, all hopes will be forever gone. Just hoping for nothing,playing under furstration forever,due to that 1AP or 5AP that you havent get.

[chitgoks]

i hope devs will also fix the android 4.3 issue so we can get the free offer plats in time to be able to get these new pets

[chitgoks]

If you want little influence, why wouldn't you offer a 0 AP achievement and offer a pet, title, plat (loo, I can try), and/or gold instead (like the I'm AFK ap).

hmmm so come february there will be a valentine event where the pet's arcane ability will make the boss fall in love with it (just like how stun works) bwehehehe

Couldn't agree more. This idea is asking for an angry mob at your door.

The only way this plan is ever going to work is if you implement Energizeric's idea of adding multiple achievements (i.e. too many) that force players to pick and choose which ones they want to pursue. This idea makes sense because it gives players the option to pursue certain achievement paths/groups in order to reach the LB, and if they miss out on these holiday events then no big deal. However, as it stands, reaching the Top Player/Class LBs is very straight forward with no wiggle room, and is also bottle necked at the 5k/10k CTF flag APs and number of PvE kills. Adding these limited time APs, even if they're worth 1 point, is going to ruin other people's chances at the LB for a long time, if not forever. I'm not a player who ever stands a chance at these LBs, but I could only imagine how upset someone would be if they couldn't play during a holiday event (because they're spending time with their family and friends) and they end up being knocked off by 5 measly points. With this concept, you're basically forcing players to never stop playing - even during holidays - if they want to reach the LBs.

Makes sense. Its bad enough there are APs you need plat to unlock and now this. Shameful really.

[Maalice]

Can't wait regardless... been waiting for awhile now to spend my plats

[Excuses]

Agree with serancha.

Kind of random, but I want VANITIES!
It's Halloween. We need costume as well.

Any plan for this?

[borix]

I probably should not say this because I really do not know much about the leader board and I have no interest in ever being on this leader board. But is this LEADER board not for the leaders - the best in this game with the most points?

It does not sound strange to me that there are special achievements so you can try to get on top - to become the best. There will be more of these achievements so next time the current leader might miss it and someone else takes over.

To me it looks like you are marathon runners complaining the one in front is running too fast.

But again I should probably not say anything... :dejection:

[Energizeric]

Couldn't agree more. This idea is asking for an angry mob at your door.

With this concept, you're basically forcing players to never stop playing - even during holidays - if they want to reach the LBs.

Perhaps you are correct, but I think this issue is being overstated.....

I've successfully received a banner for being on the "top sorcerer" leaderboard for season 2, 3 & 4, and right now I'm currently in the top 25 for season 5. Never at any time have I ever had all of the current achievements. So I think it's an overstatement to say that you need every last one.

The only issue there was in the past was the arcane achievement.... This achievement stopped people from being on the leaderboard because it accounted for so many points. If you remember, I lobbied for that to be changed, which it ultimately was, and now anyone can get that achievement by buying an arcane egg and hatching it.

As long as they make these new achievements with low number of APs, I don't see it keeping someone off the leaderboards. Yes, I suppose if you were #20-25 and then you don't get these APs, then maybe you are bumped off. But it's not like every single player on the board has every achievement. Last I checked there was only one single player in AL who had all APs, and when you get down to the lower sections of the top 25 for each class, you see spreads of around 500 points from top to bottom. So if they were to have a couple of small achievements that each granted 25 points, it's not going to affect things that much.

To the guy who will be on vacation, are you going to the North Pole? Just bring your device and play a little at some point. I doubt these holiday achievements will be super hard or time consuming.

Also, just a guess here, but I would expect the same achievements will return year after year for each holiday. Perhaps Sam can confirm if that is the plan.

[Maalice]

If you want little influence, why wouldn't you offer a 0 AP achievement and offer a pet, title, plat (loo, I can try), and/or gold instead (like the I'm AFK ap).

Great idea! I wouldn't mind at all a 0 ap for a title!

[Taejo]

To the guy who will be on vacation, are you going to the North Pole? Just bring your device and play a little at some point. I doubt these holiday achievements will be super hard or time consuming.

Trust me, I considered this greatly before finalizing my post. It was just one example of a reason people will miss out on APs. Other reasons could easily be debated: device doesn't work, internet doesn't work, or maybe some people dedicate 100% of their attention to the holiday (you never know, this is a global game not just American). My point is, as you also touched upon, those who miss these APs are at a significant disadvantage for an entire year. Why? Because you will always have at least 25 hardcore players in this game who won't miss a single AP. Therefore, players (especially up and coming players) shouldn't be at a disadvantage for not logging on during a certain time frame, even if these achievements will only take 10 seconds to complete. Up until now, there are zero APs available that have a time constraint, are no long obtainable or are extremely unbalanced - they are all pretty much fair game. Sure, you can add more of these event-oriented APs later for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, whatever. However, its just a domino effect for anyone who misses a single event. Wait an entire year to be back in running? No thanks.

I guess the heart of my argument is that there are obviously many players of AL that already object to this idea. So why even bother pressing forward with a plan that is going to upset even 1% of your customers, especially when it's completely unnecessary? Maybe the actual number of APs won't matter as much as we think, but regardless, this issue is one of principles more so than just the numbers. I can't think of any situation in the history of AL that mimics this potential scenario - even heraldic, criers, new mythic weapons, and other discontinued items are still obtainable somehow. There's no good reason for STS to be offering us these give or take type of situations if they really care about customer retention. I vote do what Crowsfoot suggested and just give everyone a pet, title or banner as a reward. There are already banners that players can never obtain (Best Banner Ever), and a pet that only comes around once a year (Snowball), so this wouldn't be anything new, and there's no advantage to any of those items. They are just material objects and don't effect the competitive nature of the LBs which is dynamic and takes an immense amount of effort.

Again, I am not a player who will reach any Top Player LB. My stance is defending those who work hard and enjoy the competitiveness of the LBs, and pointing out that this is a flawed idea. Either grant your customers 100% equal opportunity with an idea or don't implement it at all.

[bronislav84]

Both the Ewen the Pumpkin and the new pet that will be available starting on Oct. 17th will be able to be purchased through Nov. 5th when all of the Halloween goodies go back to the spooky place from whence they came (until next year!).Thank you very much for including the "until next year!" bit. But why couldn't you answer my question when I asked this multiple times? Makes me sad that you didn't want to answer my question. :( Or was my question skipped accidentally? Seems a little hard to have happen when I asked multiple times, though.

Happy the pets will be back next year, though.

[Kaytar]

Completely agree with Taejo and Serancha.

[Crowsfoot]

hmmm so come february there will be a valentine event where the pet's arcane ability will make the boss fall in love with it (just like how stun works) bwehehehe

Omg, I'm staying away from any spider bosses with that pet!

[Carapace]

I'm sure you are all waiting to hear an answer on this, and I'm here to report.

We have decided to make these achievements NOT worth achievement points. There is another reward tied to completing the main achievement, as well as a sizeable purse. We find it doesn't benefit us in any way to put points on the achievements vs. having them pointless other than upset customers across the board.

Thanks for the feedback guys, we're always listening. (Even when you think we aren't :ghost: )

We have decided to make these achievements NOT worth achievement points.

Obviously I am going to say thank you for making this decision. A small part of me was actually excited when I read about Halloween and Winter Fest having achievements available. If they weren't planned to be limited time, everyone would have naturally been very excited. More achievement opportunities are always a good thing, as long as they are fair.

[Carapace]

A small part of me was actually excited when I read about Halloween and Winter Fest having achievements available. If they weren't planned to be limited time, everyone would have naturally been very excited.

The particulars of the achievements come in to play, and for Halloween the achievements there don't play well in the granting AP category. In general though limited time accessible achievements are a dangerous thing for reasons outlined in the thread.

Crowsfoot would like a nod for his contribution, and so he shall have it. A valid point and reasonable solution to the problem at hand. Thanks for the feedback :)

I am planning to be a troll for Halloween. There, we're back on topic :D

Hurray for AL's Halloween event!

I'm sure you are all waiting to hear an answer on this, and I'm here to report.

We have decided to make these achievements NOT worth achievement points. There is another reward tied to completing the main achievement, as well as a sizeable purse. We find it doesn't benefit us in any way to put points on the achievements vs. having them pointless other than upset customers across the board.

Thanks for the feedback guys, we're always listening. (Even when you think we aren't :ghost: )

Where did you guys get this AWSOME idea?


If you want little influence, why wouldn't you offer a 0 AP achievement and offer a pet, title, plat (lol, I can try), and/or gold instead (like the I'm AFK ap).

Lmao good job.

[Energizeric]

Just one thought I'd like to add......

Taejo mentioned how everything that has ever been released (except for some vanity banners) is still obtainable. I do think there should be some advantage to being a long time player. For example, in PL you had the elite vanities which later on you were allowed to craft into a ring. Any player could eventually get those vanities, but it would take time as you would have to wait for 3 expansions and cap each time. Obviously there seems to be no more expansions in PL since the game has pretty much died, so perhaps that is a bad example, but I think you understand my point.

I'm not saying that there should be a big advantage for long time players, but something a little extra. And whatever it is should always be obtainable by future players, but it should take time -- not time in terms of hours, but longevity in terms of how long it has been since you started playing. So far the only thing like this that has existed in AL is/was the bards quests which you needed to get the Colton pet in order to get the beastmaster achievement. But now with the price of Colton way down, anyone can just buy that egg for gold and not have to play for 50 days to get the pet.

I would like to see some examples like this where you really do have to put in the time, and there is not quick way to obtain whatever the item is. I've made suggestions in the past about some long term quests or other long term achievements. But it would be nice if there were some actual useful items that took a long time to obtain -- not because they are super rare, but because you have to play a long time and work very hard to get them. Maybe it would make some of us loyal players who have played for a long time feel better, and also give incentive for new players to stay for the long haul.

Sounds like it. If you can get the achievement you can reap the reward!

[Crowsfoot]

They won't make one because it would be OP xD

[Glizzer Dave Chaves]

Where's the Halloween vanities? Hehehe by the way that's nice :)

[jlmunoz]

How about a leaderboard place for people with 3 toons (warrior rogue and mage) all my aps are spread over 3 toons, including amounts of kills alone they don't represent much but combined would make some of the big talkers blush... I have found several elusive 4 but among 3 toons don't amount to much.. same with bael ll and krunch ll... and when I comes to spending on plat I buy the pets X3... so considering at least that kind of achievement wouldn't be out of line.... my 2 cents... or more kindle to the fire.. lol

My opinion on this is that your idea for kills being combined would be good (for PvE) however for AP it would literally become Pay to Win. There is a cap on APs a toon can get and you can get about 11k APs from doing all bosses and elites up to Nordr. The last 5k APs are much more difficult then the first 5k you would earn as another character. Also, it costs plat to purchase more characters and currently plat is not required to be on the leaderboards (although it helps)

OT: I think Grim's arcane and passive are great, although wouldn't his chance for an insta-kill be a bit OP against elite mobs?

It is 5% and has 30 sec to cool down so not really OP
