So you can go as a lower level toon but you may want to bring a couple of endgame friends with you :-)

so a no-event for my level 10 hardcore. You can directly say its not for low level though xD.

Please fix rogue’s pregnant belly on the vanities. Had good potential to make her look like her regular curvy self.

Why does the new vanity look like it was made from a pizza box…

Considering the best variant of the jewels being 1%-2.5% chance to get and being non removable

The upgraded versions seem disappointing, I think the level 50 one should be 13-15 stat + 6.00 dmg + 5.00% crit damage

And the others similar upgrades

A level 50 jewel being better than a corrupt jewel?

Many of us feel that last year lb system was more engaging emotionally. Could we return to that model or introduce saparate leaderboard for it? Yhis change could enhance the overall event experience and cater to diffrent preferences within our community. Also I dont like rewards, but for sure there is many people who like them so i dont complain since is just visual effect.

Defend Castle Vyromir!

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.

What’s new?

- No Energy required! Pass through the event portal freely, either solo or with a party!

- Rather than recording your highest score, this year your score will add up each run as long as you complete the scenario and save at least one member of the Royal Family.

- LB’s are class-based, rather than last year’s Solo and Group boards.

- No class or group restrictions! Enter the portal with a group of 4 with any class composition.

- The encounter has been leveled up to Level 86 difficulty!

- The new Vyromir Jewel Vault offers a suite of new Royal Jewels, powerful 'Castle Stones,' and the Wizard's Corrupted Metamorphosis recipe (see more below!).

- New craftable Mythic Pet "Athene"

How to Play

Attachment 266626

Visit the Page of Vyromir in town to start the questline, then pass through theportal (no energy required) 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, 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 (not earn any points) and have to start again.

I like this,
Problem solved with same players taking all lb rewards with alts or sharing gears, playing 10-20hrs out of 2 weeks long event [emoji2960]
Not my personal complain but I saw many such last years.

I just hope you guys cud take care of account sharing and bots too. It’s what annoys me the most overall

I was super excited for the origami stuff, but now taking a 2nd look at it, the vanity can't compete with last year's lb vanity.
I still like the origami armor, but with the origami weapons being a lb reward, I won't even be able to get a sull origami set, and I doubt other weapons fit well with the vanity.
The aura also doesn't seem to fit well either with the origami armor.
The pet still looks nice, tho I'm not sure what the mentioned "origami onslaught" debuff is supposed to be.
The gems are ok I guess, but maybe one gem with a new proc would've been nice. Also what's up with chance for enraged versions being only 1% instead of 2% like on hailstone.
I honestly expected a new or updates vyromir's bracelet and at least legendary origami weapons, that inculde chakram, chainsword and orb.

W event, good job [emoji91][emoji91]

passive ability of pet

Great idea making the jewels non stackable, only one of each, otherwise it would be too gamebreaking both pvp and pve. Although if i might make a suggestion, given im expecting them to be scarce, and the chance to get a upgraded variant is a mere 1%, making them removable akin to soulreaper and tyrant would be well recieved and not unreasonable!

Hi @ All

I was really looking forward to this event but it is very disappointing.
It was soooo good last year and the vanitys,auras,ect... were beautiful.
It is what it is, but
-1 For the Design
-1 Concept
-1 Devs. because they don't pay attention to their community.

But I also know that they can't change much at such short notice.
I hope the next events will be better again;).

Greets

whats with the account rewards?

Nah man u can‘t be serious with those vanities. Out of ideas?


Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

event looks great. I like the change to cumulative points for this event
but keep temple for top score <3

would be cool if the event map drops alot of gold so we can farm it, otherwise it will be a dead event for 2 weeks for everyone besides lb players

1. Solve your guild and personal dramas elsewhere, this is an event thread
2. The main reason for which some people are upset is that they can no longer have 4-5 alts in the top 10 lb. I see this as a positive thing, even tho I am against hardcore farming and remapping. This is better.
