Preview - Stronghold Siege! Protect the Royal Family from an Orcish Onslaught!

[Cinco]

256609

Defend Castle Vyromir!

256607

The Vyromir royals have been invaded by a scourge of orcs and beseech you, Legends, to assist them in ending the invasion before Castle Vyromir is no more.

How to Play

Visit the Page of Vyromir in town to start the questline, then pass through the Energy portal in Windmoore to reach Castle Vyromir, where you'll be greeted by the 4 members of the Arlorian royal family, who desperately need your help to protect the castle.

Unlike other events, however, the fight is coming straight to you, and you'll need to protect the royal family as you slice, dice, and cast your way through several waves of orcs and their leader. Protect these new allies as you fight through the instance either Solo or Multi (in groups of 3, one of each Class required), and earn points based on: 1) how quickly you complete the instances and 2) how much health the royals have left at the end.

Beware, if they all perish...you will lose and have to start again.

Leaderboards

Points earned in the instance will help you to climb the Solo and Group Leaderboards for rewards (all rewards are trade-friendly).

Note: this is a single two-week event with no weekly split.

this event has the capability of being an awesome event, I just hope they can focus some of the loot and items for the people who dont have money to spend. I am all for paying for cool auras and pets and what not, but please give some cool items or pets that we dont need to spend a couple hundred dollars on.

[Leu]

Please remove the class restrictions in group runs. Can you consider creating a third option where people just run with their friends normally? (You can remove the points gained in that map, at least people still get to farm with whomever they want to play with)

Yes - this is an energy event :-)

[Cinco]

This is a High Score event - only your best score is going to be recorded.

[Cinco]

Any crates in the store?

There are no Store crates for this event.

[Cinco]

No - but the mechanics of the Fish Oil elixirs are going to be changed to disallow stacking.

[Cinco]

Now this one looks nice! Ty STS. Do the myth orcfire go with zaarus set?

The Mythic Orcfire weapons are not meant to be part of the Zaarus set.

They do have a nice bonus when you're running with the Baby Orc tho ;-)

[Cinco]

Is it wave map? If not, when is the end

It's a 5 wave map. 4 waves of various composition - Orc Grunts, Orc Engineers, Orc Mystics and Shaman... and then the Orc Lord storms in with his entourage in the 5th (and final) wave.

Good part about this is you can get done with the scenario in just a few minutes (as opposed to Temple type events where AL's superheroes can spend hours and hours) ;-)

[Cinco]

For tokens!

So dev, the highest lvl of fishoil is the one that will take effect?

I was actually about to make a post about how weird it is that we've never met the royal family despite all the good deeds we do for arlor. Nice looking event

The vanity wore by the tank is available during this event?

[Neutrone]

I have a question though

"Defeat Orc Lord Vorl for a chance to loot Legendary Orcfire Helmets and Armor (for Levels 15 - 80)"

Does this mean we can participate with lower level toons?

[Cinco]

I hope that’s regarding whole gameplay not just that event

Yeah - it would be everywhere.

[Cinco]

So dev, the highest lvl of fishoil is the one that will take effect?

No - it's about which one you apply first. For example: if you have 75% active you can't open a 100% ('til the first one expires or you remove it).

[Beanecacan]

Wow this event seems good

[Cinco]

I have a question though

"Defeat Orc Lord Vorl for a chance to loot Legendary Orcfire Helmets and Armor (for Levels 15 - 80)"

Does this mean we can participate with lower level toons?

Yes! There are no explicit obstacles for low level toons. I verified that I can enter the event zone with my Level 1 (though I do get killed almost instantly)... so if you want to help your lower-level friends farm points / Sovereigns, and Orcfire weaponry, feel free!

[|Ares|]

Yeah - it would be everywhere.

How would that work with basic 25/30% damage elixir stacking? Best tame stacks with those 2? Just one fish oil at a time?

[Cinco]

Just one fish oil at a time?

That is correct - one Fish Oil at a time (first come, first applied).

[LichKing1]

The event looks awesome!
I hope the map is well balanced for both lb and non-lb players since its only a few waves, would be a shame if all top lb players have the same points

When will the changes on oil lixes will come?

+1 on removing class restrictions, or maybe add 2 categories on multi 1 being standard run no class restrictions and 2 leaderboard run class restriction applied.

Class-restriction / 3-Legend requirements for Multiplayer are going to stay - and for good reason ;-)

Note: you should be able to make a 2-Legend party for this (so long as you're not duplicating classes).

[|Ares|]

Any update on Forgotten Vanity event tho? How many vanities you guys will release this time? : ]

[mhysaa]

I wasn’t even playing much, but you guys finally brought the orcish weap as vanity and I need it 😮

[Xyv.io]

Good event but again gonna see same person with 10 characters all over the lb.

[Encryptions]

I am really unsure how this would work for lb, people are going to get perfect waves where in all 5 waves the thing we protect takes 0 damage. Won't all lb scores be the same?

[LichKing1]

I am really unsure how this would work for lb, people are going to get perfect waves where in all 5 waves the thing we protect takes 0 damage. Won't all lb scores be the same?its also time based, i hope its not gonna be too easy so everyone can do same "max perfect" time

No, is an energy event, we get points by complete a run. What matter is the number of runs we do. Like if u rich and have 999 energy kits, you will be top lb for sure.

This is a High Score event - only your best score is going to be recorded.

[Jdjd]

Then again only 1% can finish the entire 5 waves. If only our high score will be recorded. Think gonna be hard to defend the royal family.

[almondszxc]

Is this energy free?

[Ploid]

The Mythic Orcfire weapons are not meant to be part of the Zaarus set.

They do have a nice bonus when you're running with the Baby Orc tho ;-)Does the Gun DoT have comparable damage to Smuggler when combined with Armor + Aquaris proc?

If not, can that be added? Kinda sucks that combo still does the most damage eventhough smuggler isn't available to be looted.

what are the elixirs allowed in the event? aside from the standard 25%damage and 30%damage elixirs
Fish oil and marsh and dark bomb(?)

disable them so every one has a chance rather than just the people flooded with these elixirs. Might need quite a ton to clear these waves efficiently to get better times each run

Do the new king’s mythic weapons proc on multi target or on single target only ?
Moreover can the proc of that wep’s CD be on the target and not on GCD ? like we can only refresh it on the same target after 10 sec but we can spread it as much as we can.
Moreover is it abble to mark ennemies even if we have a Wep CD?

Totally every value drops one day, regardless of the level of the item, you should already buy it knowing that it will be outdated, don't buy it thinking about selling a more expensive old set, at least not a visibly ugly set.
