SWAMP TEMPLE PREVIEW AND DIFFICULTY CALIBRATION


This weekend we are going to run a preview version of the new Swamp Temple Challenge event.

This event starts at 1:30 Texas time Thursday the 17th and runs until 1:30 next Monday the 21st.

Since we have never run something like this before in AL we would like to calibrate the difficulty and polish the experience before adding the full reward structure.

Please play with it this weekend and give us your feedback so we can polish the full system (and add all the amazing rewards)!

HOW TO PLAY


174415

Travel to Festerfang Outpost and go through the portal. Energy is required to enter, and energy essence will drop (in zones other than the Swamp Temple) during the event.

174416

Enter 'Solo' or 'Multi' (party and non-party)

* If you're in a party, the instance requires all party members to be present before starting
* If you're not in a party, the instance will wait for 3 other players to join you

The challenge begins when all participants are standing in the start circle:

174417

+ Waves of Swamp Temple Guardians will appear.
+ Defeat all enemies to clear the wave.
+ You have sixty (60) seconds to clear each wave.
+ Earn points for defeating monsters.
+ Earn bonus points for every additional second that remains on the clock each wave.

The challenge ends when you die, your party wipes or if you run out of time.

COMPETE FOR FUN!


Leaderboards exist for both Pure and Enhanced runs.

Rewards are withheld for this trial (so potential issues will not affect the experience).

Swamp Temple Tokens and the Swamp Temple Token Vendor are not available during the trial but will be added after polish / finalization.

You will see 'Tokens awarded: 0' during the trial phase (so that critical economic issues can be averted).

AFTER FEEDBACK AND POLISH...


The full Swamp Temple Challenge system will return to include leaderboard-exclusive rewards (specially-colored Titles, unique Banners), token loot and a special vendor.

The Swamp Temple Challenge vendor will sell recipes required to craft the Locked Temple Treasure and it's 'Massive' counterpart.

Locked Temple Treasure chests will contain powerful Level 71 Arcane items. The Massive Temple treasure contains Heroic Samael's egg.

[Kairihearts]

Costs energy to enter and there's no rewards I'm not sure about this I don't see putting my time in to be worth it if I don't get anything :(

[Kairihearts]

@justg will the artifact be added to the new vendor? thanks

Looks good.
A suggestion: add a small amount of gold loot and spirit weapons leveling xp for the trial version (same fashion as in the pirate booty event). Will help to keep players engaged

[Bundlos]

Not this again *facepalm*

[Blazerland]

Interesting! So the full version is expected to start next thursday,the 24th?

[Blazerland]

I honestly thought of the same thing so i hope there is some sort of “buff” or “bonus” if the party consist of all 3 classes.

Good idea Meowth but still farming for energy to enter for no rewards no xp nothing seems rather boring need some kind of incentive for players to actually play and give you guys feedback :)

I am assuming that we will get the 3 free energy (in the bar) so technically its free to try. Also essences drops in map, its also our choice to participate in trial or not. Plus its gonna benefit us when we give our feedback prior to the full content.

Oh yeah the 3 energy I forgot my bad haha true yup totally agree meow :)

[Nocturnus]

interesting .. I hope that the essences drop in a decent way and not 1 per map like these last events

[Zikovsky]

I wonder if Forged Energy and Essence left from Trial Phase still can be use on Final Phase or not (System will delete it). I hope dev can read this and make a clarification about this. Thank you.

[Painting]

Is it 66-71 again? Please dont ruin it

[Thewolfbull]

is it just me, or is this challenge gonna be dominated by rogs lmfao

Depends if the waves get harder each time and if it's worth it to do higher waves or if it's better to just remap with 4 rogue pt for lower waves to get faster points.

[Bug]

Reminds me of PLA but with energy :) Looks great!

I play Rogue and personally I would enter with a War & a Mage since they are better equipped to deal quicker with "waves" AoE dmg zone

[Marosok]

Not sure, if play with main warrior or alt rogue. Maybe test help me to decide. From what i read, rogue is better for this job.

[Drannak]

Thanks STS ! Also please consider making the new arcane items lootable directly from the hardest wave of bosses too . I mean with a really LOW chance to loot it. This will give us a little more motivation to run repeatedly the temple. Also if you plan to release instant- opened massive temple treasure chest in store this will kill any motivation to farm the recipes xD No-one will buy them for gold if those exist in store for plat.

Edit: i forget, we can finally give feedback about difficulty, so it might not be heaven for pure rogue party. Excited to test it.

LOL.....

They said it's a "trial" and people are still asking for "rewards"...... Since when has Betas and Trials ended with players keeping the rewards???

The trial is supposed to be for the purpose of "assessment" so that a more "fine tuned", "bug free", "feedback implemented" version of the event can be released.....

If you want to "have" cake "sometimes", you cannot "always" eat it.........

[Motherless_Child]

Yeah good idea also why energy should be free to enter if it's only a trail?


Yeah you have the point.

LOL.......

Maybe this is being done to prevent confusion once it actually starts... I guess it wouldn't be good to have everyone become accustomed to running it without energies only to be thrown off and confused when energies are required during event start, even though everyone knows it's a test mode......

LOL.....

Guess I'll just roll with the flow........

[Fearrr]

I just want to say special thanks Sts for giving my idea of a wave like map a try and making it a reality. I remember hoping this was what hardcore mode would be like lol. Decided to post, not sure why I did but glad I did, and glad you guys took the time to read my post in Hardcore mode info and feedback request. I look forward to this map, I know it will be a lot of fun :).

[archerdrake]

Ty sts.. this is much better rather than firing canon coz of boredom... right fierce? Hahaha

look like really fun!! Thx alot STS!! Can't wait to try it out!! :)

Thank you devs. We have seen this suggestion several times and i think it achieves an important goal. It encourages use of current cap mireguard set.

This weekend is a test event. Does that mean this will be a permanent arena for farming tokens???

This is an oversight. The Swamp Temple is a part of Festerfang and should support the Mireguard set bonuses.

Cool. I've got fixes and adjustments incoming for each of these issues. Thanks!

[Susanne]

I tried it and like it. Bear in mind it's still being tested, we need to be patient and post feedback. I would have liked my mire to work there but apart from that it's good.

[Idly]

Wave 10 boss I'd guess is impossible. Far too much HP/armor. Just ran with 3 geared rogs and we didn't take 2% of his hp.
The between waves black screen seems pointless? Besides this it seems fun and something I'd happily farm. Good job :)

[Kairihearts]

The banner is a reward for the full event (scheduled to begin next week); not the test we're doing this weekend.
Additionally, the full event includes tokens and a vendor, recipes for new lockeds that contain Arcane items and Heroic Sam.

THIS.
I mean wave9 was easy as 30-35 sec, while wave 10 boss we barely hit within the given 1 min.
I will test with Ultime reserving for Wave10 boss.

The black shadow seem very depending to the device speed.
I mean the 1st 5 waves I just saw black. I started to suspect a deadlock...
When it faded in, the others killed every mob and we were are wave 6...

Now I will test a faster device...

The Arcane items (Artifact, Belt) will be found in the Locked Temple Treasure chest and the 'Massive' Locked Temple Treasure chest.

Recipes (consumed on use) to craft these locked chests can be purchased from the Vendor with Swamp Temple Tokens (which will also drop when the full event goes live).

[Oakmaiden]

So far liking all aspects and haven’t experienced any negatives. Will try that Boss out again after update and energy renewal.

[Kairihearts]

Hmm I'm interested to know what the special vendor will have if no artifact

OK.
After server restart, the "lvl65+ is needed" announcement is gone.

With faster device (and/or black fade in/out modification?) now it is much better.

I tried with another lvl71 random party:
Wave1-6 is very easy, quite low points, maybe intended.
Wave7-9 OK. We finished within 30-40 sec. Some of us had partial Mire set (circle below the character).
Wave 10 for 1 min - with my ulimate Aimed Shoot to the boss, let's say 5% HP lost...
(I was able to use my Ultimate 2 times, at wave 7 or 8 and wave 10).

Wave 10 boss is still very strong...
With this HP/armor it seems
- only 4 OP rogue
- with heavy armor decreasing pet,
- all ultimate to the boss (after armor decrease), etc...

[Kairihearts]

Seems extremely laggy now :(

[Lord_Acco]

Awesome. Make the full version please lol

[vfreakhun]

Last report today:
With a weaker random party, we easily went to wave 7 - where one mage died, and another character left.
For Wave 8 with a warrior (I was with rogue), we also able to manage, but only 6-8 secs left.
At Wave 9 I was alone, and ran out of the time...

As I am not-so OP (lvl71 rogue, 8k HP, 6K armor), and I did not die (however I was stunned and remained in multiple red zones in wave 9), it seems that mobs hits are quite weak.

[Deletus]

removed black screen it causes lag.
just simply count to 3 and spawn mobs

This event only for rich player have op gears sts please open your eyes!omg

[slaaayerrr]

add more time between waves please, maybe 5-7 seconds instead of 3

[Tuhguhbuhbuh]

This swamp challenge is engaging and fun. I like the way it's part of the expansion. I think for future expansions having side events that help towards main expansion is good idea i.e gaining tokens, ingredients, recipes, runes and XP of whatever sort.

[Tuhguhbuhbuh]

Also end boss is still a tad too strong for randoms. Well, erm the randoms I've run with tho :/

[Alwarez]

3.2k dmg rogue barely scratching last boss.

[Maketaca]

If I and 1 friend make a party and join multi zone, what happens?

[Motherless_Child]

It's actually pretty fun.....

It's a bit challenging when running randoms, though....

Also, if the LV.10 wave boss is that OP, i'd hate to see what's next, LOL...... LV.10 = "The PUG Killer"........ LOL.......

But this is kinda fun....

[Zikovsky]

Dear Cinco, all forged energy and essence we gather from Trial Phase will be delete before Full Version Phase begin? Really need a lil clarification, please. Thank you

Feedback:
I like the event very much. It was what I was requesting for a long time. So thank you STS for developing this wave based slay 'em all functionality.
Few questions :
1.1 How many max waves will be there?
1.2 Will jewels/other stuff like murktoken frags drop from mobs and chance for complete murktoken from bosses?
1.3) Can we add a revive option in waves from gold/ankhs/plat? The cost of this can increase each time there's a subsequent revive.
This can be a possible gold sink.
1.4) Please add some good stuff to token vendor :)
1.5) Can we get mire Xp level up event again after this event and before hugthulu, please? :)
1.6) I like the dynamics of the event and it feels really fresh. I believe we can also add a recipe to token vendor to forge compound jewels for tokens, something I have asked for in my previous threads.
Maybe we can craft Chaos + Class jewel to give jewel that give bonus damage in mire?
This will ensure continuous runs of the zone.(If this is a permanent event)
1.7) Which makes me ask, will this be a permanent event? I hope so :)
1.8) Boss should have a extremely rare chance to drop belts/artifact.
1.9) Please remove gold loot from next expansion equipments. I am seeing culture of farming die.
People are only farming couple of maps which give good gl like ESG.
I remember times when shuyal and tindrin maps were launched.
People used to run em like crazy. Now gl arrives => people buy tokens and get latest gear => no one runs new maps.
It is something I believe we should avoid in the next expansion.
1.10) Good work on the new temple event. Possible loot in vendor I propose should include : New vanities, Titles, Compound craft jewel as explained above,
Murkstone tokens, Murkchest which has chance for 5/10 murks,vial,boss essences etc.

a) reminds a bit to marvelous or planar arena. without the annoying delay for each boss. huge plus.

2) fairly easy to wave 6 even without mire set, so doable for most toons qualified. a plus

III) when not in a good group and one toon dies at wave 8+, the rest might be forked. a bummer maybe

four) token rewards for waves before wave 10 should be good enough to motivate players without mire/spirit items to join.

\o/)boss needs to be decreased. this reminds of first version of the marvelous event, where we cant even scratch a boss.

male/female) overall a nice event i guess. the essence drop in all maps should be increased slightly (compared to brood), so i can run maus to farm energy ;) thx.

[Itzitz]

Maybe add also overall points? Per class? (The points earned every run in solo combined)

The 'fade to black' is there to hide loading the next wave of monsters and dungeon art as well as teleporting players to the starting locations. We'll need to test more on slower devices to see what the experience is like.

I'd like that, too........ No Pt teleport...

Slay enemies, slain enemies disappear, countdown ensues, new mob of victims for slaying appear..... The fade to black doesn't bother me but, the PT teleport does, LOL........ I just think it would probably be better as one, continuous motion without the fading and teleporting........ Just my opinion....

[Alwarez]

Event is extremely hard. It's ridiculous how it takes some time even on first wave. Full "op rogues parties" are imminent.

[Stevie Yap]

Event is just for OP stats players, as a ****ty player like me, ignore it and carry on [emoji23]

I just ran a wave with an alright PUG.... We got to the LV.10 wave to fight the boss but, time ran out....

If this challenge is going to maintain the level of difficulty, maybe mobs that spawn during boss battles can occasionally/randomly drop "time extension" (i.e. they drop like a clock that gives the PT more wave time)..... I just say this because if the PT has fighting potential, they should get like time extension opportunities during the boss battle....

[Maketaca]

Will you remove forged energy after this preview?

Still waiting official answer.

[Oakmaiden]

Our guilds top players are having a hard time with the Best gears. A player such as myself,with average set gears (no pinks) has little chance to farm Temple. I want to run solo. The mobs are too many (same amount as for full pt). My best run made it to wave 6. I don’t expect to be able to kill the first boss let alone 4. I like this expansion tho and hope it can be balanced for the moderately geared. Sure, each successive wave should increase in difficulty, I just want to be able to kill the first 1 XD

[Gryffie]

Add a BOSS to festerfang outpost every 1 hour!

The Red and the Blue fight for the BOSS.
The BOSS loot a Locked chest.
Players have fun, STS also make more platinum.

Feedback:
I have only one ran a few times so far hopefully more Saturday/Sunday when off from work. I like the event was put together nicely. So a thought.
I see there is a handful that is not happy with how hard or difficult the waves are at certain Lvls, due to not being maxed gear with best Weps, Gems, Sets, Pets etc. I think having a 60 sec limit to kill waves is the root of this problem. So a thought, what about removing wave kill time limit all together? So the players who our not maxed gear can still enjoy the harder Lvl waves but instead of it solely depending on killing speed it becomes more strategy, tactics, and skill to survive? And will take off the stress of worrying about killing in a certain time. Also not having to worry about being in the best maxed out group to play and have fun. And instead of a bonus for how fast you kill mobs each wave, can just keep it simple where completing each wave gives a certain bonus.
And guess my last thought. Is there any plans of having this available as a permanent Lvl 71 map and not just event only?

[MiguelBoss]

Thia will be one week event when full version start or permanent event ?

[Kiditachi]

The interface inside event zone is good.
Make our event energy visible all time. Make the waves a bit easier or refuce number of mobs as wave 11+ is hard. Rest event feels good
Hope i earn some good gold off the event

Tanks are kind of useless unless they use arcane aegis 71

When deep marsh was out you made a mage feel useless coz he didn’t have ds and you left the map, karma! But you can still use Tb anyways :)

As for others, you can’t expect to reach higher waves if you don’t have better gear. That is concept of waves, higher gear more waves. Yes it was too easy when we reached high points, I only used Tb to pull mobs while the rogues and mage did all the killing, but it is fixed now and I didn’t expect sts to keep it like this, it got boring actually at some point.

SWAMP TEMPLE PREVIEW AND DIFFICULTY CALIBRATION


This weekend we are going to run a preview version of the new Swamp Temple Challenge event.

This event starts at 1:30 Texas time Thursday the 17th and runs until 1:30 next Monday the 21st.

Since we have never run something like this before in AL we would like to calibrate the difficulty and polish the experience before adding the full reward structure.

Please play with it this weekend and give us your feedback so we can polish the full system (and add all the amazing rewards)!

HOW TO PLAY


174415

Travel to Festerfang Outpost and go through the portal. Energy is required to enter, and energy essence will drop (in zones other than the Swamp Temple) during the event.

174416

Enter 'Solo' or 'Multi' (party and non-party)

* If you're in a party, the instance requires all party members to be present before starting
* If you're not in a party, the instance will wait for 3 other players to join you

The challenge begins when all participants are standing in the start circle:

174417

+ Waves of Swamp Temple Guardians will appear.
+ Defeat all enemies to clear the wave.
+ You have sixty (60) seconds to clear each wave.
+ Earn points for defeating monsters.
+ Earn bonus points for every additional second that remains on the clock each wave.

The challenge ends when you die, your party wipes or if you run out of time.

COMPETE FOR FUN!


Leaderboards exist for both Pure and Enhanced runs.

Rewards are withheld for this trial (so potential issues will not affect the experience).

Swamp Temple Tokens and the Swamp Temple Token Vendor are not available during the trial but will be added after polish / finalization.

You will see 'Tokens awarded: 0' during the trial phase (so that critical economic issues can be averted).

AFTER FEEDBACK AND POLISH...


The full Swamp Temple Challenge system will return to include leaderboard-exclusive rewards (specially-colored Titles, unique Banners), token loot and a special vendor.

The Swamp Temple Challenge vendor will sell recipes required to craft the Locked Temple Treasure and it's 'Massive' counterpart.

Locked Temple Treasure chests will contain powerful Level 71 Arcane items. The Massive Temple treasure contains Heroic Samael's egg.

Hey, mob armor grow exponentially? cuz if so, i dont think anyone can pass wave 30. You should have incremental growth instead if we are supposed to make it to 100.

Why do I care, Ask yourself? Sentido comun it you have one.

It is not effecting anything and they will be reset when trial over. Also no rewards just read the main post on the trial and you will know what I’m talking about.


Thanks,

You make it look like people on top of lb made a fault but it was sts. However the lb should get a reset anyways after a test phase but dont blame players.

They ran the map they clearly knew what they was doing so I'm correct in my statement.

It's working for me - are you sure it's unchecked? If so, what are you crafting?
