    New vanities look awesome! Adding to the vanity sets of past was a great idea imo. Would be cool if we could get different off hand vanities as well, mages and birds look like their hiding behind the Black Dragon Crest. It just looks weird to me

    The weapon reminds me of the tron discs from the movie/game. Would be even funnier if the attack animation was the same

    Cinco,

    I appreciate all of the delightful new content (as opposed to only recolors). The new vanity weapons are amazing. I am sure we will see more new vanity weapons to match other sets (such as white lightning, etc) released in future events. Thanks for allowing a "go solo" or "go multi-player" option for this event.

    I have to ask: If someone goes solo, are they at a disadvantage over those doing group runs? It would seem so, because you said, "Even though this event is based on individual score, the content has been balanced for teams".

    Thanks for this pve event. I am definitely looking forward to it!

    Yes. By default a solo player is at a disadvantage compared to a full team. My testing indicates that this can be off-set with elixirs and enchantments.

    I hope to offer experiences that are balanced for solo and for groups in the future :-)

    Dev doesn't work in the map, correct? Also, what about the gold farming map?

    This is why we suggested hostable that way we can create our own teams and maximize our elixirs and/or speed. Hopefully if any future team type pve events come, we can have this option.

    Thank you for updating the OP for details of this Shimmering Shores Event.

    The new Zap vanity looks awesome, can't wait to see the movement on the items.

    My friends and I are looking forward to this group style farming event.

    Now that the rewards of the gold farming maps have been determined. Will you introduce your counter measure for all these gold bots on game? With the added gold loot of 300% on amulets. This will definitely make them exploit this even more.

    Cinco, will kills count towards the entire group no matter who makes the kill? Or does only the person who lands the killing hit get the points for that kill?

    I’d assume we continue using the same system that’s been in effect the past 8 years
    I often ask myself, why am I so attractive?

    Hey Cinco,

    Two really quick questions?

    1. Are kill point counted for everyone no matter who kills it?
    2. With teams are they 100-105 can run together 90-80 can run together? If it scales to the highest person no matter what level lower levels will just be running around doing nothing and it will be like soloing and boring for them. I’m just asking because I’m not sure how you scaled it and organized the team setting. Just trying to make it more fun for everyone I don’t want to be a lower level and just follow killing nothing to 35k points. Why I was wondering about the portal putting you with a level range to make it more fun.

    I don't know how to play video games casually. I'm either not interested at all or I play 16 hours and forget to eat.

    Cinco can we be able to host the map so we can run with our friends since running solo is at a disadvantage?

    A good solution would be to allow users to host maps. It's kind of like the gold farming maps: Whenever a low level joins and doesn't do any work, they can be kicked!

    And the entire should be able to earn kill points no matter who kills it. Multiple people inside one map makes PVE fun and encourages those who don't like to PVE to try it out for the event.

    The easiest fix is to just scale all lower level players to 105 damage of a certain number and then everything is solved and well! Then all levels can run together and lower levels can see the fun of higher levels and make some new friends to help them level even after the event is over!

    Usually how it works is that all levels can join games (by portal or join screen) within the next +/- 5 multiple of their level (5,10,15,20,etc.). Then, the enemies are simply made easier for that level bracket.

    CINCO THE ZAP SET IS LOCO BRO. Love it! Hope to see a zap wand! I have one serious question for you to consider! PSY.KO, your amazing fast cap vanity pet offers a 2.5k bonus, where as warbird offers a 4K bonus. Being that the psy.ko is much more rare, is there anyway that you could make it where PSY.ko and DEV dragon can be combined for a 4.5k BONUS? Just to assure psyko remains the best pet?

    I'll consider a hosting feature for the next PvE event. This time 'round we'll use the portals... we'll mix and mingle and maybe meet some new friends.

    Points are awarded to the player who made the killing strike to prevent leeching by inactive players.
