Issues with Overlord Returns Campaign

[Ripanda]

There are a couple of issues with the campaign which stop players going through the campaign as was intended on release, these are as follows:

• The Engineer NPC no longer spawns
• The Psycho Seller NPC no longer spawns
• Rifts No Longer Spawn

These are the issues i can currently think of that are wrong with the campaign, i believe all of these were removed due to too many of them spawning for one player when farming for an event.

These three things are crucial parts of the Overlord Returns Campaign.

The Engineer Provides Crafting for the 3 Level 80 Sets Derex, Strax and Intex.
The Psycho Seller Provided Platinum Purchases for Level 80 Elite Items
Rifts gave players access to the maps 'The Warlords Prison', 'The Warlords Dungeon' and 'The Warlords Maze'

All of these would randomly spawn depending on certain things, Engineer Being a random chance when killing a Mini-Boss, The Psycho Seller being a random chance when killing a regular boss. And Rifts (From what i remember) Had a chance to spawn when killing shadows with the Shadow Hunter's Elixir (Which it still advertises but no longer provides.)

I would love to see these added back in some way, potentially introducing the NPC's into one of the towns instead of spawning randomly from bosses and the rifts potentially being removed from the elixirs description as these maps can be accessed in other ways.

Thank you for reading.

Thanks for the post!
I’d really like it if the NPCs could be brought back, just like Ripanda mentioned.
I have a few friends I regularly farm this campaign with because we’re trying to collect the full sets. It would be awesome if the tier 3 two-handed weapons came back as well, like the Derex Blaster, for example.
I know some players are arguing about this, but I think it would be a good thing for the game.
I could even imagine a version where these weapons are only craftable. For example, you’d need all the (tier 1 and tier 2) blasters, and there could be a Derex Blaster recipe that’s a very rare drop. That way, the weapon might be able to keep its value since it would be hard to farm all the components.

sorry for saying this but as an l80 elite derex blaster owner im strongly disagree in this, do not bring back unnecessary any rare and discontinuted items, the solution to have one is very easy, just need to farm gold in the right places and you can buy it very fast (in weeks) without other collectors losing they items value and im pretty sure there are sellers too, the deadly dragkin weapons with treant 3pc set are used to farm gold, they return at halloween so they will be cheap to buy / search groups to play with them

I still believe these NPCS should be brought back, maybe with some tweeking to remove the currently discontinued items fron them.

I have made a thread in the past regarding these vital vendors for level 80 to be returned to the game, the removal of essential NPC's was unnecessary due to one player getting annoyed by them.

I have the Derex Blaster and honestly do not mind seeing more on game. If it promotes activity and platinum spending, I fully support it.

i aganist this too, im spend 2 year of searching of an intex l80 elite staff what i buyed eventually for an astronomical price and i dosent want this dc items to return cause then it's will be unfair to the peoples whos already own this items + 8 years it's gone it was only a level cap update what ended long time ago and it's should stay like this, collectors are pay the high price usally and only very few 1-2 pvp players want it back to gain advantages to rush others, for fair and actually enjoyable pvp just choose to play l71 / l76 that gears farmable still and way more balanced, enjoyable in my opinion

Bump, would like to hear a Devs take on why these Gameplay mechanics for this campaign were removed, and why they have not been introduced again in some way as they were intended for this campaign.

[Ripanda]

Bumping this again as i have found the original update thread on these things being added, they were not limited time, nor were they supposed to be, They should be added back a they were removed from a single players complaint,

Either add these back as regular NPC's in the OKTAL towne, or add them back as spawning randomly during the Overlord Returns Campaign.

+1 from me. The removal of these essential NPC’s didn’t make any sense. Please add them back since the elixir does advertise them to still spawn. Personally I have wasted my own platinum on this elixir, but since it doesn’t even work….

Bumping this up again as i really want to see this resolved
