PREVIEW: Pocket Legends Expansion / Level-Cap Raise

[Cinco]

THE MAD MAGE'S MAZE!

Eons ago, Myx the Mad Mage enlisted a cadre of thieves and villains to help her steal the Elf Queen's "Forbidden Forge!"
Myx planned to use the power of this mystic forge to create a trove of impossibly powerful weapons! Bows, staves, swords, talons, and daggers with staggering magical effects.
But the Mad Mage and her small army of villains vanished soon after they absconded with the forge, leaving no trace... until now!
Legends of Alterra have discovered a hidden camp on the western coast.
Littered with ancient skeletons, grave markers and scrolls bearing tearful missives, it is believed to be the thieves' last known whereabouts.


+FEATURES+
New Level Cap: 105
New Cap Achievement and Gold-metallic Title: Forbidden
New Cap Vanity: The Mad Mage's Dragon Shield
New Fast-Cap Vanity: The Fire-Eyed Dragon Shield... crafted at the "Fast Cap Forge"
Note: the Fast Cap Forge only spawns after defeating bosses in the Mage's Cave, and only between 12am Friday April 6th and midnight Saturday April 7th.
New Loot! Featuring Legendary weapons with special procs.
New Elite Weapons! Crafted exclusively at the Forbidden Forge.
New Amulets for Levels 101+ ...all of them crafted from existing Amulets and Amulet Components!
New Dungeon Mechanics! Coordinate and kill quickly in order to summon the Forbidden Forge's Golden Eyed Guardians... and loot them for massive XP gains!

SPEED KILLS
Each dungeon in the Mad Mage's Maze requires adventure parties to kill skeletons in rapid succession.
Drop five (5) skeletons in five (5) seconds in Chapter 1 to acquire the Golden Guardian's summoning call.
When you have the summoning call your avatar will display a golden ring (shown above).
Your next kill will cause a Guardian (shown below) to appear! Defeat him to loot his experience (up to 20K XP points)!

Time-to-kill gets shorter with later dungeons, requiring kills in 4 seconds in Chapter 2 and 3 seconds in Chapter 3.

MYX THE MAD MAGE
Face Myx the Mad Mage in a special turnstile dungeon (2 Platinum gains access for 4 hours or until you loot Myx).
Kill five (5) skeletons in three (3) seconds to acquire the Mad Mage's summoning call.
Walk to the altar at the center of the dungeon to summon Myx the Mad Mage!



THE FORBIDDEN FORGE
In this same dungeon you will find the Forbidden Forge!
Collect crafting components from skeletons and Myx the Mad Mage to craft Elite Level 105 weapons.


This expansion is planned for release next week ~April 2nd.

Wow the weapons look spectacular. Thank you for the preview!
Also love the location on the map it's like when you play a game and the hardest part is right behind that first door you see. In this case forest haven.

Really hoping PvP feels balanced

I look forward to hearing what you have to say once you hit the new cap and deck-out with a full set of crafted gear. My approach to itemization in this expansion is a strict reversal of previous development process: Instead of building everything for PVE first, I started (and stayed) with PVP. All of the stats, damage performance and procs were developed and tested in a PVP environment. Once the gear felt right in context with Elite 100 / Pure Stat load-outs, I did numerous special adjustments strictly for PVE.

Will there be a special reward for capping in the first week?

Amazing !

Sounds like a very comprehensive and well planned expansion, and the appearance is pure eye candy. I can't wait to jump right in. This is exactly what PL needs. Can't thank you enough, Cinco, for this exciting new expansion and level cap. Now to spread the word, let's get our friends ready to join us on this epic new journey.

EDIT: out of curiosity,, may I enquire as to whether or not the dev/psyko pets will offer the usual stats bonuses in Myx Maze?

[andreasobst]

So a boss and crafting only accessible with plat? I think i'll quit

You mean like every cap sts has ever made?
This is a bargain compared to what getting a stat gun is.

Excellent question! The elite Ok’Tal Pets do not provide their special bonuses in this content.

I really love the design of the new weapons.

I want to say thank you for focusing on PvP balance with this new update. A lot of the time, us pvpers feel like we get neglected and our voices go unheard. With the news of building this update around PvP and testing everything out in the arena, I feel as if you are truly trying to make PvP as balanced as you can possibly make it. That being said, the balance still might not meet our expectations (I hope it does), but at least we can rest knowing that you tried your best. Once I gain a set of fully crafted gear, I will test out PvP and provide feedback.

I am very excited for this update.

Thank you. Looks like we're in for some of the old style PL coupled with striking new content and mechanics. Now to stay distracted for a few more days until the expansion goes live.

So if we cant use oktal pets then. I have 3 questions.

1. Do we still get xp orb drops?

2. Does the plat dungeon have a better drop chance then the regular map?

3. Do we have an elite map the gives us a challenge. (Requiring teamwork from all classes)

[SillyJuan]

LOCO, Will there be a chance to loot amulet items since some of us didn’t get a chance to loot those? Love this game so much , thanks for not giving up on us
