+ The first 'Arena of Honor' Guild PvP Event runs from 12am Central time this Saturday until 11:59pm on Sunday.
+ When the event is active an 'Arena of Honor' portal will appear in Forest Haven, Planet Ok'Tal and Myx' Maze townes.
+ You must wear the full 'Honor Gear' set in order to enter the portal. No gear-swapping is allowed in the zone.
+ Buy the 'Honor Gear' item pack from the Store for 30k gold. Includes helmet, armor, weapon, ring, amulet and vanity halo.
+ In the arena: defeat players from other Guilds to earn points for your Guild. Kills are worth ten (10) points apiece.
+ Guild score is based on the scores of your Guild's Top-50 contributing members.
+ Victory conditions are based on point thresholds: 10k points for Bronze Tier, 25k for Silver and 50k for Gold.
+ All victory tiers provide access to the prize vendor. Each tier has access to a different gold farming zone.
+ Access to prize vendor and gold farming zones can be done through the Guild Management NPC in your Guild Hall.
+ Prize vendor sells vanity items ('Shield of Honor,' 'The Blue Mantle,' 'The Gold Mantle,' and 'The Black Crown'), Legendary rings (for Level 105), and discounted Pure / Hemi-Stat weapons.
+ Character balance: increased the amount of dodge and armor from Ranger's 'Evasion' skill starting at Rank 5.
+ Character balance: decreased the amount of combo damage from Paladin's 'Retribution' skill by ~15%.
+ Honor Set visuals: converted all Honor weapons to use one-hand + off-hand appearances (to coordinate with main event reward).
+ Honor Set gets a 50% speed increase in towne so you can run back to the portal that much quicker.

All im imagining is just constant teaming. Well, dont go into pvp alone or everyone can just agree that its an FFA.

Black cop will be amazing thank you

Yes, anyone can get the vendor. Need a total of 5k kills in order to unlock gold tier vendor.

IMPORTANT: To clarify more please any guild that gets 50k points wins gold tier correct? Or is it first guild that gets 50k points gets gold tier then 2nd who gets 25k silver tier etc etc

Any guild that scores points to qualify for a specific tier gets that tier. There can be more than one guild per tier this time around

[Draebatad]

Cinco, if you all have time, would you please post some pics of these awesome award vanities and possibly the prices to purchase and make them trade-able? Thank you in advance.

Good good.. this will be interesting event indeed then

Indeed! I'm actually excited about it this time around. Very promising and inclusive. Once out on the battlefield, just hoping everything is smooth there and that there's not a lot of teaming to win. Balanced or full teams will make this the most epic event yet. A truly creative approach and the prizes are not to be missed. Dying for some pics of them, too.

[Congeniality]

Thank you for the Ranger buffs and Paladin nerfs. It is much appreciated!

[3pc]

Those visuals are sick the mantles are just like i imagined them the cops i was guessing red ruby instead of blue gem. Perhaps we should get a surprise honor armor for a 3pc honor vanity set ? :P

[Absolize]

THANK YOU to everyone who supported my idea on the mantles to make this happen also! I knew STS would do a great job and everyone would like it!

It was a really good idea. From the looks of it, cinco did it perfectly and didnt make the gold one look weird liie the gold egg is haha.

[Mine AGK]

@Cinco, what is the golden shield with what looks like a mix of a gold holo/PL shield with a gear on it?

[Cinco]

The shield is the 'Shield of Honor' vanity. It's got a gold vortex effect that floats in front of the shield face.

Thank you Sts for making new events like this.

This is the first pvp guild event, and you have certainly ticked all the boxes.

You have listened to the needs of the community and made changes to the last two guild events as a result.

This time around the rewards are obtainable by all guilds. It is inclusive for the structure of 50 members contributing to a gold tier of 50k points.

There is no more finger pointing and hate regarding unfairness of winning, and for a change the majority of the community is loving it.

The new vanites looks amazing.

Thank you Cinco and the team.
