PREVIEW: Pocket Legends Guild Event - "The Mad Mage's Castle!"

A NEW EVENT is coming: The Mad Mage's Castle - Guild Leaderboard Event!
Attachment 167943
The "MAD MAGE'S CASTLE" Event is a realm-wide competition for Guilds!

During the multi-day event:
+ Hunt for a portal to the "Mad Mage's Castle" (no purchase necessary - available to Legends of all levels).
+ Enter the portal (solo... it's balanced for solo players) and defeat monsters to score Points for your Guild!
+ Standard monsters give +1 Point, Golden monsters +10, Boss monsters +20, and 'Myxx' gives +30 Points.
+ Chance to loot Elite Amulet crafting components, Mage Cave crafting components and the rare ‘White Lightning’ vanity helm and armor.
+ Check the Guild Event Leaderboard to mark your progress.

At the end of the Event, the Guild with the most Points is declared the Winner!
Members of the Winning Guild gain access to a special vendor for 48 hours.
(Note: you must be a member of the guild during the Event to qualify; late-comers get no access.)
Winning Guild Members can access the Event Prize vendor from the 'Guild Management' Knight in the Guild Hall to purchase:
+ Unique Vanity Helm, Vanity Armor and Pet (ranging 500k to 1.5MM)
+ Level 105 Amulets, Rings and Elite Level 105 Weapons (for 2MM to 8MM gold each)
+ Deep discounts on Pure and Hemi-Stat weapons (still for Platinum)
Attachment 167944

Bosses and Gold Skeletons have a small chance to drop crafting materials for Level 105 Elite Proc Weapons.
The Vanity items shown above are the "White Lightning" Helm and Armor - extremely rare loot drops from monsters.
The Vanity items shown below are part of the "White Dragon" suite: Helmet, Armor and Pet.

Attachment 167970
These Vanity items are character-bound but can be crafted into trade-able items for Plat (100 - 300 Plat depending on the item).

This event is currently slated to go live at the end of next week: May 11th - 13th with prizes available May 14th and 15th.

Nice :D Really like the idea

As promised in the 2014 white drag thread, I will be purchasing however much plat it takes to get that!

The only two guilds that have a chance of winning this are Pocket Community and Reborn based on the number of players they have.

Smaller guilds (like mine) who prefer quality over quantity have zero chance to win this event.

This will also have an impact on tearing apart other guilds who choose to join Pocket Community or Reborn for the event just so they can win.

I dislike the idea because it's not inclusive to all guilds, but rather only a select few who could win based solely on numbers.

Edit: Since some of you think this post was an indirect diss towards Reborn or PC, it wasn't. Each of these guilds have high quality PVE players. Hopefully my second post on the second page clarifies what I mean about my 'quality vs quantity' statement and the numbers game. Oby seems to understand what I mean, but some players in Reborn are misinterpreting it. Hopefully this clears things up a bit.

I actually agree Dolloway. I don't know why, but this one just doesn't appeal to me.

I've gotta agree. I have to think this is gonna play out as a two-horse race. And all the while, everyone in both guilds will be joining the other guild with an alt. So that no matter which guild prevails, they will have access to the reward. Both guilds will be actively recruiting, as always. It won't be at all hard for any player in the game with 2-3 characters to ensure they have access to the reward vendor.

Also, the gold prices for the reward items at the vendor will be one determining factor, as far as how much time and effort people will want to put into this event. Imagine grinding the event dungeon hard and having your guild win, only to discover that the items you wanted to buy cost more gold than you possess. I feel that the item prices from the reward vendor should be announced before the event starts

I love the concept of the event, but I have to agree with others, a guild event is hard for the smaller guilds.

Perhaps a leaderboard event, where the top 50 or 100 participants get to reap the rewards. So any one who grinds hard gets to achieve the benefits.

Loving the white dragon!

And I appreciate that your making an option for 105 amulets and weapons to be bought with pl gold from a vendor.

<WRE> iz gona wen boiz

Apart from joke, nice idea. Probably first of its kind. Hopefully we will similar guild wars for PvP too and other PvP challenges.
Sure this can be improved with new ideas , it has some cons but overall thrilling to see new ideas.

+1 love this that how this gonna be the hot subject among all everyone is gonna talk about it farm together and make a guild enjoy PvE like never b4.

Agree. Great concept, but unfair to all but a select few guilds.

While it's nice :) , it's not white drag. Doesn't have the dragon wings, has cyber jet mods. White drag to me is angelic white body and helm base with 14 karat gold horns, wings,, arms and legs.

A vendor selling 105 weapons and amulets sounds awesome... but needing to join another guild to buy them doesn't. It would be nice to see everyone get a chance for these vanities and items.

Seems to me any guild could win, as long as they play and play and play. Regardless of current leaderboard status... It's more of an activity challenge? I can see a guild not even on the top guild board having a chance at it. Is it just me?

Reborn is a closed group guild. Membership is exclusive and is decided collectively by the guild and its officers. Our goal will never be to tear apart other guilds. We are content with the quality of our guildies and will not be aiming for other players from other guilds; As we have done so since our beginning.

Secondly: All guilds with active players who will actively grind out this event have a fair chance at winning. This is where Quality and hard work will shine over quantity and statistics.

Definitely not just you. Any active guild can win.
Winner will be the guild with Active members :)

You could make a guild right now and get the most active players in the game and win the whole thing. Amount and activity are very different. That aside I think that there should be a Gamewide goal. A number set in place that the community as a whole must hit to unlock the vendor. Example being maybe 50,000 total score.

That's saying every other guild, besides the one that wins, doesn't have quality players... guilds that focus on quality over quantity are put at a huge disadvantage. No way around it...

I agree with what sunny said. Make it the top 25-50 guild to get the rewards larger guild has more players to run the map at 1 time. Smaller guilds would have to grind alot more to achieve the same results as a larger guild with 2x the amount of active players. Or a nice thing would be brackets if available. So depending on the amount of guild members determines what teir you would be in. So that means guild with less members have just as much chance to achive 1st in their own bracket.

Guild competition like this isn’t fair. The score should have been based on individual players. Individual players should have the option of buying items once they reach a certain score. Why gold? Why not plat? If it was plat and each individual player was able to purchase it with plat or gold , imagine how many players will buy the items. If the sets were reachable to me, I and many will spend quite a lot of plat on the items. A lot I should say, more than stat guns.

I still strongly believe a brand new guild made for this could win, irregardless of even being close to the top 50 in the current guild leaderboard. The panic seems a bit unreal. The challenge seems fair. In the end, I don't care how the requirements work, the event is a grand idea, offers a fun experience and will result in more elite 105 weapons and amulets in the global market. Something to appreciate, for sure.

New guilds are irrelevant, people are in the guild they are in for the reason they are there... a few players shouldn't have to compete with many.

I stand by my original comment.

The guild with the most amount of players running the maps will be the winner.

For example, a guild with 10 members on at once each could run the maps 10 seconds faster than a guild with 30 members on at once running the maps. However, the guild with 30 members online at once running the maps will win in the end simply due to the numbers game. Quality is subjective. I would say that the 10 members each completing the map 10 seconds faster than the 30 are the players with the higher quality value (if all factors are equal).

This is a great event idea, but the current idea for the challenge is simply highly flawed in my opinion.

I think both Sunny and Plpr's ideas are much better challenges/ideas and will get everyone involved in the event.

You strongly agree that a new guild can win... Wow! Majority do not agree. Majority of the players make Pocket Legend what it is. When you have lots of players that aren’t happy with the decision that is made in the game, they become inactive.

I strongly agree that any guild can win regardless if new or old. It's a matter of participation, not size. A guild with 10k members that's 0.2% active has no chance.

You state that any guild can win but you don’t state the odds of the new guild winning. Which is very slim against a guild that is established.

It will be a hard win if its only the top 50 of each class wins the reward like in AL. Not everyone can play 24/7 to keep their rank in the top 50

so i need a friend in winning guild that has access to vendor? i pay 1m extra to anyone who can grab set for me :)

we need point cap / day like something that you can reach in 3-5 hrs of playing.

To me its seems to be a fun thing rather than a serious issue as projected by some.

- Maxx probably gonna have drop rates too, and who knows it might drop the vanity armor and helm rarely! making it valuable for all.
- Re selling is a thing (most important thing that has been missed by all)

I agree with you Dolloway.

Having a points system, with reaching a certain number of points, gives you access to the reward.

Mind you if this could include all alts on the one account will be helpful. Many of us have more than one character on thier accounts.

Having the vendor sell these new vanities, 105 amulets and weapons for pl gold as well as plat will please all.

I like this event so far, I feel like this event is geared more towards the active players/guilds which is for the greater good as a whole regardless. You guys are giving Back to the community and overall that’s what matters the most. Events should be geared towards everyone as a whole but not just to individuals who think they are entitled because of their circumstances. Using the argument of quality over quantity is invalid, everyone has a chance to let players in the guilds whenever so we all get the same odds, they simply chose not to. Keep the updates going, still love this game [emoji110] Also after the event is over, everyone else who joins the guild who won the event will have access as well? Or only the players who competed with the winning guild will have access to the vendor?

I agree with juan either way this event is hosted their is some problems. "Only 2 guilds stand a chance" etc etc or "Only the most 50 active players of each class would win reward" i think we should keep it the way sts intended and try it out for the first time before we make any changes for a next event

Few questions. When is release date and duration of this event? How much will the white dragon set and weapons/amulets be listed in the vendors?

I appreciate a good in-game feud as much as the next guy. And I've got nothing against either of y'all... But does every forums thread need to eventually devolve into a squabble between jils and waug? Can you guys make your own PvP feud thread or something?

Before this thread gets locked let me say my idea again.

I think there should be a milestone set that the community must hit together to unlock the vendor. Example being maybe 50,000 total score
