What about what's next...?

Arcane Weapon Mechanics Reveal



Detailed information about the Level 81 Arcane Weaponry will be published soon. In the meantime we wanted to get your feedback on some important changes we are implementing to make this new gear as fun and exciting as possible!


Activation Mechanic: Guaranteed Proc on Charged Attack


One of your Class' Arcane 81 Weapons will proc on any successful Charged Attack (so long as the weapon is not on cooldown). We find this particularly useful for downing Boss monsters (as the procs themselves are also designed to be Boss-centric).


Cooldowns for these weapons will be slightly longer than their RNG-driven counterparts, but the net effect is much more control and a much greater sense of power in combat.


In development for: Warrior Kraken Battle Sword, Rogue Kraken Battle Bow, Sorcerer Kraken Battle Cannon


Activation Mechanic: Ready Proc on Kill Streak


Your other Class Arcane 81 Weapon will 'ready' a proc after a "kill streak." This means that as you kill enemies a 'kill counter' advances on your weapon. When the kill counter reaches its required minimum your proc will become 'ready.' When the proc is 'ready,' your next charged attack will activate the proc! This is really useful and especially fun for clearing large swaths of minion monsters.

• Kill Streaks are earned by defeating enemies (currently testing: 3 kills) in rapid succession.
• Kill Streak increments if anyone in the party gets a kill (currently testing: range of 12m).
• You can lose increments of your kill streak if you take too long in-between kills (currently testing: lose 1 increment if 10 seconds expire).
• Unequipping a kill streak weapon will forfeit the kill streak if the proc is not yet 'ready.'
• Kill Streak stays 'ready' (even if you swap equipment) until you hit an enemy with your weapon's charged attack (or if you die or leave).

A special visual effect appears on your avatar when the proc is ready - letting you know that your next attack is going to activate the weapon proc.


In development for: Warrior Kraken Battle Aegis, Rogue Kraken Battle Claws, Sorcerer Kraken Battle Staff




Halloween Coming Soon!

October is just a few days away, which means that Halloween is creeping up! As always, this year is filled with some of the season’s most impressive vanities, including some classic style, tasty candy inspiration, and...can anyone name the inspiration for the trio on the bottom?



But we’ve got some exciting changes too! This year, the Halloween will run for a total of 3 weeks, however, instead of just one chance to receive tiered and leaderboard rewards—you’ll get one every week!

Yep, that means that:

- The point requirements for tiered rewards will be lowered and reset each week, so you’ll have 3 chances to earn the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum rewards. Rewards stay the same each week.

- Leaderboards will also grant rewards and reset each week, giving you 3 chances to climb into the top positions for those coveted leaderboard rewards, or even win them more than once! Like the tiers, leaderboard rewards will not change week to week.

Have a great week, Legends! We look forward to hearing what you think of the new stuff.
