Halloween is creeping right up and I think it's about time to show off a few more of the new hair-raising treats you'll find in this seasonal event. Like our last couple of events, playing the seasonal content will earn you points so that you can progress through 4 different tiers of gameplay: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the new Platinum tier. Moving up in the tiers isn't always easy, so we make sure that getting to each one is worth your while. Here are the prizes for reaching each of the Halloween event tiers:

105019

For reaching bronze, you'll receive 3 Lesser Pumpkin Chests. You can open these chests to find energy kits (to access the boss zones), gold, Necropolis Tokens to redeem at the token vendor, or pieces of a spooky legendary gear set. If you hold on to them, you can also craft them into Greater Pumpkin Chests which have the chance for even better rewards.

105020

At the Silver tier, you'll receive a Legendary Haunted Ring, set to your level, and a flaming pumpkin vanity helm that will definitely get some screams.

105021

If you want a cool new companion, you'll want to get to Gold Tier, where you'll receive the new flying eyeball pet Blinky. He shoots LASERS from his eyes to damage multiple enemies.

105022

Reaching platinum won't be any easy task, but it'll be well worth the effort. When you reach the top tier, you'll get a new gem to upgrade you gear with extra damage. Plus, the new title [Death's Hand].

We hope you like these new tiered rewards! Stay tuned for more teasers leading up to the Halloween Event in late October.

Energy kits... not a big fan, but we'll see how it plays out.


First off, kudos on the event. It looks really cool, but I just want to get a few things off my chest. Mainly: please do not make this event like Ursoth's Assault. Don't get me wrong, it was a great event, but Ursoth's Assault reskinned will not be that enjoyable for me, and I'm sure many players. Also, Ursoth's was pretty simple and got boring quickly. You fight the same four bosses every time. As this does sound like regular maps you would run, there are no mobs! This takes the challenge out of events like Ursoth's, because the mobs are 80% of a level.

Second, I do commend the idea of a unique gem. However, an OP damage boost is not the way to go. I would love a stone that gave extra speed, or dodge or anything. But, to be honest, damage is not the thing we want. Everyone is using one type of gem, and it will be no different now, as everyone will rush to get damage gems. I would love a speed gem- an exchange of some strength for 15% extra speed? Heck, I'm down. Now, however, I am assuming this off of being able to get super gems, so if you do not make a super gem variant I would be glad.

Third, please release a halloween type crate. We have an overflow of locked crates, and we absolutely need to reduce the amount of crates.

These are just some things I would like the StG crew to think about before releasing the final product. I love the theme, as Halloween is my favorite time of year, personally. But to be honest, I hope that y'all can improve the Halloween event from the mistakes you learned from Ursoth's Assault.

I...want..that..gem... Hopefully "Platinum Tier" won't require me to pay bucket loads of platinum, I mean that just wouldn't be fair :/
And on another note, will the locks be able to forged together for the new Halloween Mythic Equivalent? I hope so...that's how I made 90% of the gold from Ursoth...

yes, nice rewards. :) I dont need that gem tho..unless many PvP XD

3 Comment / Opinion...

1. Platinum rewards need a bit more spark compared to the other tiers..maybe a vanity to accompany the death title..like maybe after you open the pet it becomes the same level as you..(Blinkey I mean) Because My sentinel title is still the best XD and theres nothing that can beat that.

2. but can the boss battles be a bit more balanced..not like Ursoth event were helena was the most hated..and people always left the partys. Energy isn't cheap, and i would love to have me some blinky's by the end of the event. I would love to have 3 gold tier toons again :)

3. will these common chests be less rare..because in ursoth, the chests I got were only from tokens.

Awesome! Can't wait for the event. I wonder if they will have another Arcane pet for LB lol

Question: Is the Soul Stone tradable? That would create problems if it is. I take an item, gem it with Soul Stone. Stash it and do it 2 more times on other characters for a total of +21 dmg.

Ravager
10-07-2014, 05:53 PM
So each character is able to get one damage stone? Or do you get a recipe for the stone at Platinum level?

Does the gem bind to your character? Or are they tradable? I think they should be bound to your character like essences... otherwise it's going to cause some major issues.

good question, what about gemmed items, can you use more then one gem on the same item?

CptAwsome
10-07-2014, 06:56 PM
Nice!! I like the look of the pet.
What can you purchase with the necropolis tokens?
Also can you only attain 1 soul stone per character? Or multiple?
Great job looks fun :)

Is there going to be anything farmable for the event? Or do you get the tier rewards then quit when you get bored of doing it on alts? We need user engagement. If Hellish gear has the same type of stats as last time, it's not going to cut the mustard in that respect.

Hectororius
10-07-2014, 07:09 PM
I think they would have called it a bound gem if it wasn't tradable. But platinum level is probably going to be very hard to attain, making the gems a real luxury item. Will be interesting to see these gems in action.

Actually, most of the dmg/kills comes from the curse. The raw dmg output for the bulwark is bad.

I think sniping rogues in TDM will benefit most.

SacredKnight
10-07-2014, 08:10 PM
From the sheer context of the post I can assume that the Soul Stone will be one per character as it's a reward for Platinum tier, this can also be backed up by the fact that there is no evidence to the contrary and the fact that the reward is the item itself and not a recipe. Whether it's bound to a character or if it's trade able makes a huge difference! No doubt someone can get multiple toons and get three stones then further more upgrade a Mythic/Arcane item with them....

The real question is:

If an item can be crafted with more then one Soul Stone?
Can these Soul Stones be traded?
If they can't be traded can an item upgraded with one still be traded?
The Soul Stone has an orange name, does that mean getting it would be a Mythic Achievement?

if you say most of the kills comes from the bulwark curse, then a bulwark with three of these babies equipped is going to have a two-pronged avenue for delivering a coup de grace, +21 dmg drastically improves skill damage as well as dps while maintaining a very god-like stat in terms of high armor and hp

just my 2 cents

On second thought maybe it might be better if the stones cant be traded nor stashed. Probably would balance things out more with that issue about bulwark on three soulstones. If it was tradeable i could just imagine how the effects will be specially if it goes grand.

+9999 i think there should be a maximum of 1 gem/toon otherwise pvp will suffer more.

Even if soulbound and only one on a toon, u might be able to trade the item with 7dmg gem to youre next toon and gem another 7 and so on? Iseeproblems.. hope its max one pr. account really, or im farming this on as much toons as possible, and swapping gear from toon to toon getting atleast one 7dmg gem on each gearslot if thats max u can do pr item..

10-08-2014, 03:14 AM
My biggest fears so far about the paracelsus stone is:

- Can we farm essences and craft these? If there will be 1 gem/toon, price will go around 500k+ no chance for supergems, or it will be a privilege of ultra-über rich people, causing the already existing imbalance more noticeable.

- Pure damage stat is a dangerous thing. It may sounds good, but if scaled wrong - just like the vampire amulet of malice last year - it will be useless at higher levels.

IMHO, I support this kind of concept. Making the gem not being trade and unstable will balance things. It should be bound by character only. Also one item should have only one gem because why I say so. Even if gem are not being trade then if the toons sale the items to auction and the one who bought it can placed the other slot with the gem then it will be useless also, so make the gem only one per toon. Now this brings me to some thought, will the items that are being upgraded with this gems be tradeable?

If it's tradeable then your suggesting it to be stashable also which in turn I can do the event in my 6 toons. But then how about some guys having 30 or more toons. Just imagine how many gems he can make and how many gems he can socket in the item. Armor,helm,weapon, ring and amulet. Then are you sure that all of the players can buy this gems in the market, not to consider the price.

If your reason is that you think this will "fix the broken economy" then im afraid that isnt valid. Fixing a broken economy in exchange for the destruction of the very little class balance left in game is a very bad move.

Thanks for your response :) imo, i think the items upgraded with this should be tradeable. But let it not stack. For example playerA has a soulstone equipped on his mythics, and buys a Magma Claymore with a soulstone from playerB in auction, the dmg will only take one soulstone effect, the other soulstone will be disregarded. This way, the items equipped with soulstone will also be available to new players who just started after the event and players who missed the event due to busy lives.

This is a really interesting issue. Each 7 Points of RAW damage equates to a 140 point Aim Shot Crit (At the LOW end), so things can get out of hand EXTREMELY fast.
The questions are:
Is it a standard gem? (Trade/stash/sell) If so, then none of the other questions matter, expect 3 per equip, 5 equips,so just stay out of PvP or brace for an extra 3500 points of damage ;) )
If no, what can be done to the gem?

Next question, what can be done to what is socketed with the gem?
If it can not be sold, then that crashes a 100M gold ring ...
If it can be sold, that means another player could add another gem, sell, rinse, repeat. This would be 3 gems per equip, 5 equips, this would equate to 3,500 Points of Aim Shot Crit.
Would that gem take effect (It might not, remember, we are waiting on a new client, this may be a new feature)
If it can be sold, but does not take effect, that means players will have a Damage Gem on each of their equipment, so 5. In this scenario, it would ~only~ equate to 700 points of Aim Shot Crit.

Next, if the item crafted can not be sold, then can it be stashed?
If yes, then back to previous. If each gem added takes affect, then we have 3,500 points of damage, if only one, then 700 points of damage. (Assuming you want to crash the value of your equipment to zero)
If no, then you really crash what ever you use to zero since you can not even use it on an alt in the future.

That is effective damage, not RAW damage ...
My rogue has 407% Bonus Damage.
The Effective Damage is 574.
The RAW Damage is 143.
A Grand Fire Gem is 6 Dex which equals 3 Bonus damage. That get caculated as .03 * 143 = + 4.3 Effective Damage.
A Regular Soul Stone gives 7 Raw damage. Raw damage gets multiplied by current bonus damage. So it gives 28 Effective Damage.
It is a balancing act though, since if you give up to much dex, your Bonus Damage will go down and those raw damage will be worth less ...

But i hope it's not gonna be very difficult so that only the mythic players can reach gold/platinium tiers :(

That is effective damage, not RAW damage ...
My rogue has 407% Bonus Damage.
The Effective Damage is 574.
The RAW Damage is 143.

You are right, it will be more damage in stats. Huh that 7 seems A lot now.

Dex doesnt give raw damage too?

Yes, but only .05 Raw damage per dex, so at current Bonus damage, the Raw Damage part of a perfect fire would give 6 * .05 * 4 = 1.2 Effective damage which is still dwarfed by the Soul Stone.

Yes. It seems that there will be a variety of builds now! I personally cannot wait to experiment with a combination of: fire, tarlok wind, soul stones, and elondrian shards.

How you calculated your rogues raw damage, is that 143 without weapon?

Glad you guys are liking the new stuff!

FYI, the stone will not be tradable or stashable. So everyone will only have the chance to have one of them. The screenshot shows the damage increase for adding it to a lvl 41 mythic bow, and super-gemming does not increase this.

agreed....like place a lock on 1 in stash.... because I don't have the right weapon or armor to use the gem on. maybe on the luck pendant..but I think thats what many wont be using it for.

eg: an exploit to this is simple for pvpers..have a lv 41 weapon or mythic and just stash it to another toon...and re-socket it when that toon reaches a plat tier. I think this gem thing might be an accident waiting to happen.

Thinking this through, wouldn't you assume that people will just use their multiple toons to say, gem their bow, trade their bow to their other toon, gem again etc? Does Gemming make the item character bound?

Just because you make the gem character bound and not stashable doesn't really mean a whole lot if the item you gem on is stashable and tradeable (thid is from an item OP stand point, obviously the gem not being tradeable affects merchers etc).

They could do that or sts could just make it so there's only one slot for that gem Problem solve.

one slot for each piece..because as you have alts I can have 1 of those gems to each piece of armor, weapons, and jewlery...that equels tons of dmg on a twink.

those gems need to be account bound...but then that means tons of new accounts XD...geez looks like this wont help anyone lol, and theres no real way to block people from farming and gemeing there gear.

id say do away with the new gem, because its gonna start a flame war because a player has 5 of them (geming gear on alts and stashing)..compared to the average that have only 1 or just opening the flood gates and let people stash the new gems XD.

What About only one character on your account can get the gem from platinum reward? But wouldn't that would probably make people mad?

yes i would love to have the titles on alts. since thats part of the tier reward...but atm..people can just make another email account and obtain another gem.
just give everyone an equal shot..and let the gem be stashable. But I know this will cause issues soon...its gonna be a nerf fest again XD.

I don't care about the gem, but i have been on the forums for so long to know whats gonna happen next XD. but anything thats exploitable...will be exploited.
from remi just saying its not stashable....means there is other options...I hope theres changes now before its released.

Imo 1 gem per character is better than someone walking around with full gamed gear.

So ... is that raw damage or total damage? If it is total damage, does that mean it completely ignores bonus damage, or is ~adjustable~ based on other stats? And of course what others have asked, can a gemmed item be stashed/sold?

But since ive been talking about how people can find other ways to bypass the system...it should be stashable.

even if it isn't tradable, stashable or whatever, again someone did mention transferring the equipment onto that toon so it can gem it and then transfer it back. I have 3 level 41 toon, if i manage to get all 3 to platinum tier i get 3 parachelsus soul stone which then i can just transfer my mythic bow or arcane ring to each toon and just upgrade it with parachelsus soul stone. assuming it give the same damage as on the bow since it's level 41. +7+7+7 lol thats 21% damage increased, assuming it stack with the damage the ring has already.

OVER POWER isn't it? the ring will then be priceless lol.

twoxc
10-08-2014, 05:27 PM
here's a suggestion and just a thought lol make the parachelsus soul stone damage not stackable lol so then surely there's no point in upgrading more then once. those that in need of parachelsus soul stone will probably ask to buy off other people if they earned it, but probably lead to scammer etc etc. so really really gotta think this through.

Just make it so that once bound, the item becomes character bound (non stash able and non tradable. That way you item sink the market as well!

I think the unstack-able idea is the best. Actually, if the damage is stack-able you can add 15 gems (upto 105 damage) to a character. Imagine a few of this god/godress running around.

No, its just that it will give 7dmg on Lvl41 , but some less maybe 3dmg on Lvl15- items, like normal gems which give +3stat on high Lvl but +2/+1 on low lvl... Just my thinking on what I just read not sure, sorry if wrong :)

Nitamana

105 damage raw damage (before multiplier)... about 300-350 after the multiplier... roughly 50-60% damage boost for a warrior.

fantastic idea... lov it bud...NOW HERES A SOLUTION...this will stop anyone from making alts and trying to stack the gems..now whats funny is no dev has responded to any comments by players XD. So a way for the system to detect only "1" stone per toon would be nice :)

ok bud..maybe you haven't read any of my other posts or posts by others..but once a gem is sloted on an item, it can be stashed and transferred to another character that is made on that email account or another account that has a plat tier. So the whole reason im posting is PvP will be crazy if people can slot these great mythic gems...unless the system can detect only 1 gem 'aka" no stacking of damage..this is also known as a strong advantage to a system that has to be avoided before Halloween is implemented. As for me I would dominate PvE missions with tons of gems XD.

My bad, thought u meant about the whole tradaeble thing and actually if u go a few posts above u will see that i asked the same question " whether items upgraded with the gem would be stashable/tradaeble or not?"

it says giving +7dmg but its to item or just adding to stats? i mean( 20str 10int 9.3dmg )or (20str 10int 2.3dmg+ 7 stat dmg)? whic one true that gem effected where because it will be different.if i use it at living set i will get more dmg because it has more str.living set has 2.8 dmg and anc has 3.0 but its still more than ancient if we add to living+2 and anc +2 4.8 will be very beter than 5dmg

I dont know if this has been suggested or not but a simple solution would be to make it so these dont stack (or maybe 2-3 of them can) that way u can have as many soul stones on ur toon as u want but only 1-3 will take effect. ;)
