Preview - Honor CTF Mini-Event Returns!

[Cinco]

More Honor, more fun! The HONOR CTF Event Returns!

The 'Honor' Capture the Flag mini-event returns to Arlor at 1:30 Central on August 26th and run for one (1) week, ending on September 2nd.

Don your Honor Gear to enter the portal in Vardan Valley and face your friends and foes on a leveled battlefield. As before, this is available to level 76 players only.

If you haven't played Honor PVP yet, first of all; what have you been waiting for?! Also…
...here's how it works:

- Visit Vardan Valley and make sure you've completed all of the town quests, then chat with Goody Wells.



- Purchase the 8-piece set of Honor Gear for 100 Vales. This set will include 1 piece of gear for each slot, plus one of each class weapon, as well as 3 honor PvP pets.

- Equip all gear and one honor weapon, then summon your Honor PvP pet (optional). Now you're all set to enter The Arena of Honor portal! The portal is accessible in Vardan Valley Towne near Buddy and the Mogera hole.



- From here, things start to look pretty familiar. Select a mode, then join a team to launch into the CTF map and get ready to rumble!



- Don't forget! Once you're in the map, you can not change your gear.

And, well, you know what to do from there, Legends! Fight hard and fight well.

Don’t forget: Part of the the Honor PvP Code is: Thou shalt not wear Honor Gear outside of PvP. In fact, doing so will give you a debuff in PvE scenarios, so don't forget to change out of it when you're done!

What’s next + Expansion Sneak Peek!

When our double week of PvP concludes, it’s time to start seriously looking at leveling up your characters in preparation for the Level 81 expansion!



Luckily, I’ve heard that Mad Prince Lev’lar is on his way back to Arlor, with plenty of experience chests in tow. In this event, you can search for and slay the prince to loot experience points instead of gold and gear, helping you to level up ultra fast!

Expansion Sneak Peek

We’re getting closer!! The art and dev teams are polishing off a TON of great content for you in the Level 81 expansion. We know you’re excited to hear about gear and stats, and that’s still to come. A lot of work these past couple of weeks has been on polishing up boss encounters, including their appearance, mechanics, and the arenas that you fight them in.

For example, check out this newly finished baddie, fresh from the artist’s hands!



Many of you spotted it when we highlighted the new hub town, but while underwater flora and fauna are a huge part of this new underwater Arlor, some ancient, yet highly advanced, tech plays a large role as well.

And sometimes there are encounters that maybe aren’t natural, or tech… like Aquareth. Any guesses on this ancient spectral diver’s story?



Keep an eye out for even more sneak peeks as we get closer!! The finish line gets closer every day.
