Bring The Jarl to justice and end Housing Upkeep forever!

After an extensive examination of real estate transactions within Arlor, the originator and main beneficiary of the Housing Upkeep system has been identified as none other than Jarl Gruwald.

The People of Arlor have spoken! The Jarl must be held accountable for his actions!

Starting tomorrow at 1:30 pm CST, the Elders of Kelys will facilitate access to the Jarl's inner sanctum. Defeat random monsters to spawn a portal to his house. Track The Jarl to his house and defeat him for a chance to loot:

- Tavern Deeds
- Lodge Deeds
- Cottage Deeds
- Starter House Deeds
- Furniture Inventory slots
- Housing Decor slots
- Unique decorations: Jarl's portrait, wanted poster, piles of gold, chests, and jewels

There is no energy mechanic for this event. Once The Jarl has been defeated enough times:

HOUSING UPKEEP WILL BE REMOVED FOREVER!

This will require a server reboot, we will bounce it as soon as possible once he has been defeated.

A couple of other changes regarding housing:

- Environments will now be tradable
- When you upgrade your house, your old house will be packed into a tradable deed. If you have previously upgraded your house, we will grant you a deed during tomorrow's downtime.

Finally, in honor of this momentous event, all houses will be 20% off in the store. The Tavern is 25% off!

Please note that Estate Tokens will remain for sale during the event. We will have a mechanism to consume all unused Estate Tokens following the event.

Get ready Arlor, for tomorrow you take down The Jarl!

If your house is not available because you did not pay upkeep, you may just want to hold off until The Jarl is defeated. It will open back up then :)

Some people will never be able to afford a larger house, we thought they might like the chance to loot one. The drops will be very rare.


Can i sell back my cottage house? Or new house just replace with new one?

You will be given a tradable deed for the house that you upgrade, it can be sold in the auction house.

No, Upkeep will go away forever!

Great update. You might consider making it so that not only if you upgrade do you get a deed to your old house, but you can also just choose to upgrade, say, your lodge to a tavern. In this case you would get to buy a tavern for the normal cost, minus the cost of a lodge (I am not sure what the prices are) and you do not get the deed to your other house.

All houses with environments will give the buffs, not just the paid ones.


Out of curiosity, will we have one day to beat the jarl a certain amount of times, or do we only fight him until he has been beaten that amount of times, no matter how many days it takes.

He will have a target number to kill, similar to Cryostar and Northal unlocks.


Yeahhh, all Jarl's fault. If only we can hang him now.

You can kill the #%^@ out of him starting tomorrow.

They will be rare, but not that rare. There is no energy mechanic in this event so you can run it as fast as you can find the portals.

extrapayah
07-20-2016, 01:18 PM
what a bummer for people who've bought their houses, but i guess, change need to be made...
any chance for a shared in an account house? or simply once bought, unlocked to all char?

also, will be great if we're able to change the environment into its 'tradeable kit' version anytime we want

and talking about discounts, i think the next time you release new items/things, you should set the discounting event on the same time at the release time, not after releasing it, e.g.: crate/plat sale at the release of new pet/arcane items

thanks

A few question if i may
I have 5days of net so jist wondering here.

1. How long is the event. How many days?
2. How are the drop rates of each house? As rare as a set item? Or as rare as a dova bear? Or as a jewel?
Is tavern harder to loot than a starter house?
3. Thank u
4. U said as long as we find a portal like in maps or is there an event portal? Or a luck based altar like gob event?

What a brilliant idea....




Yes...but upkeep is disproportionate to your real world equivalent. At that rate, My upkeep would be very near to my purchase price....every month. That's not realistic. If sts wants housing to be successful, it must reconsider...or foreclosures will rise and the homelessness rate will skyrocket. I've already seen a tent encampment in Windermere...how soon before the Occupy Arlor movement takes root?

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

totally understand that, since i also bought a tavern just few days ago, but event need to be raining with loot, since it's limited time,
else it will be another waiting game, because lucky one timer will naturally sell things cheaper, lesser than the average individual cost/time spent for looting it, hence it will discourage participation in the event, or make people doing other things that supporting people to run the event but eventually gives more money (e.g. like selling leafy chest on last event, or stand in camp, trading things)

anyway talking about environment, it will be great if it is unlockable by running certain maps and then you release an elixir to unlock it faster. some system that force player to run maps. not by directly buying it with plat.

or yes, making these lootable deeds as a special untradeable deeds but having a lot better drop rate is also a good solution, since damage of previous pricing has been done...

Richardlord
07-20-2016, 02:52 PM
Good point, the drop rate should be fairly high, and maybe they could drop the lower houses more often, with tavern dropped the least.

Justg
07-20-2016, 03:04 PM
1. How long is the event. How many days?

We'd like it to run for 5-7 days. We've never done an unlimited event like this one so we'll see how it goes from Thurs - Fri this week and perhaps adjust the goal.


How are the drop rates of each house?

Fairly rare, but there is a ton of different loot with this event so it should be worthwhile to run over and over.


Is tavern harder to loot than a starter house?

Yes Taverns will be the most rare, followed by Lodges, then Cottages, then Starter Houses. Next will be Housing Decor Slots and Furniture Inventory slots. Jarl's unique furniture will be next, followed by rare furniture, followed by common furniture.


U said as long as we find a portal like in maps or is there an event portal? Or a luck based altar like gob event?

Killing any mob in the game has a chance to spawn the portal.

You will be given a tradable deed for the house that you upgrade, it can be sold in the auction house.



No, Upkeep will go away forever!

So now I still gotta buy even more platt to upgrade again after forking out platinum for a cottage AND a Lodge!

Yay me!! Lol

If I wanted to merch house deeds I would've bought the deed, not the house!!

- When you upgrade your house, your old house will be packed into a tradable deed. If you have previously upgraded your house, we will grant you a deed during tomorrow's downtime.

Finally, in honor of this momentous event, all houses will be 20% off in the store. The Tavern is 25% off!

Please note that Estate Tokens will remain for sale during the event. We will have a mechanism to consume all unused Estate Tokens following the event.

Get ready Arlor, for tomorrow you take down The Jarl! AWESOME! Immediately got super excited over the estate upkeep being removed. I couldn't use my house ever cause of that and not being able to buy upkeep. Thanks spacetime! Hope to get a house deed! Love the tavern, but cannot buy it with plat, even with the 25% off! "Crosses fingers" also, will there be a leaderboard for this event or no?

All the best get those soaring estate prices down.

Flash back to locked grand farming grind in brackenridge...good times. OMG I know!! I personally miss it since it was a really easy map to farm and you usually got locks pretty quick. Now km3 kinda ruins looting locks in my opinion.

Bring The Jarl to justice and end Housing Upkeep forever!

After an extensive examination of real estate transactions within Arlor, the originator and main beneficiary of the Housing Upkeep system has been identified as none other than Jarl Gruwald.

The People of Arlor have spoken! The Jarl must be held accountable for his actions!

Starting tomorrow at 1:30 pm CST, the Elders of Kelys will facilitate access to the Jarl's inner sanctum. Defeat random monsters to spawn a portal to his house. Track The Jarl to his house and defeat him for a chance to loot:

- Tavern Deeds
- Lodge Deeds
- Cottage Deeds
- Starter House Deeds
- Furniture Inventory slots
- Housing Decor slots
- Unique decorations: Jarl's portrait, wanted poster, piles of gold, chests, and jewels

There is no energy mechanic for this event. Once The Jarl has been defeated enough times:

HOUSING UPKEEP WILL BE REMOVED FOREVER!

This will require a server reboot, we will bounce it as soon as possible once he has been defeated.

Same question as before guy
Will luck effect the loots? Or not?

Thank u sts for this.
Btw willl jarl always appear in event map or we have a chance.

I assume
no tiers
no lb
No tokens
Just find run and loot.
Just the way i like it

Btw i small question.
U say jarl has to be killed an amount of times.
And killing jarl may give us loot

Once jarl dies that many times does that mean IMMEDIATLY update and no more runs
Or is there a cooldown ? Cause even if jarl is killed that many times some might still wanna run for loot.

Also oncr jarl gets killed that many times and u do decide to IMMEDIATE update what happens to those currently in event map?




****/^ umm just asking did u guys read my suggestion i propsed in suggestions thread? Maybe. A simple yes or no will suffice.
Also i pmed justg carapace and vroom abt my ban in forums chatbox and my mistake on it and how to avoid and not repeat it again. Assuming i was fairly banned cause idk y no notice was given to me. And how to get unbannd.
Thx u ^\****

Sounds great this. I have been negative to a lots of things before but this is great adjustments. But i think the housing has to big impact on stats. A lot will get it just for stats so u will not really c howe great or not ppl think the housing system is. I think it has great possibilities to stand on its own feets. Adding stuff like u done for comunications like the mail function. Could be nice with some bulletin board etc

They have already done it imo. u can add/remove eggs if u just use their aa or happiness. And share them between toons for a cost of 5 story tokens each time .

How about putting in some Locked Grand Crates of the Watch in the loot table for Jarl just for old times sake. (miss that Red and Gold treasure box)

Btw WONDERFUL mini-event, sts! This thread is teeming with positive posts. Looks like everybody is excited and happy. xD

Seriously!! I don't like merching and now today the value of the deeds you will refund for my cottage and my Lodge will go way down since they can now be looted! How is that an appropriate solution to all the real money I already spent buying platinum to purchase my houses?

How does giving me the deeds to houses that the value will be sliced and diced make me whole again in the legal sense of the word? Why not refund the platinum, I spent on 2 separate houses so I may use it to buy my Tavern?!

We don't have the house deeds yet nor did I ever want a deed to merch in cs in the first place! I do not see providing us with deeds as the way to correct the 'oversight' as I never wanted the deed .... Only the house!

As I see it now, STS is not wanting to refund our platinum, and giving us less valuable deeds is just another way to keep the platinum without refunding a cent to make us whole again!

Not exactly appropriate!

On the bright side, this is another step in the right direction to improve community relations and boost the housing system though I really would have enjoyed spending my already spent platinum on continuing to furnish my bigger house and buying a city environment to go with my other 3 environments I already purchased for....yet again, more platinum!

Most businesses refund your money when such an 'oversight' is made not give you something that will be of less value to go sell yourself to recoup your losses!

So much more could have been done with my wasted platinum!

Just saying

You will get a tradable deed for your cottage when you upgrade houses.

We'd like it to run for 5-7 days. We've never done an unlimited event like this one so we'll see how it goes from Thurs - Fri this week and perhaps adjust the goal.

So once he has been killed enough times to reach the goal and the server is re-booted the event is over? Or will we still be able to spawn portals and farm Jarl for another day or two?

Once the event concludes, you will no longer be able to track down The Jarl to his house.
