That gives us more time to run the event and lest the non-plat users play more. I dont even have to say anything for the rich players because they don't really worry about this, at all!!!! This new client system is slowly ruining the game for all the non-plat users. Make some good events. Hopefully this event is going to be better. Last event sucks. I quit after I got to silver tier because the whole energy bs!!!

Thanks! This is exactly what i feel

I mean, take a look at the Goblin Event map...the same boring lifeless map with 4 different bosses?! Wow! Way to spend the money players have put into this game for the development of the Arlor story line. (Yes, I am being sarcastic) Why not give us new tombs & mines to run, or create new pvp maps or an updated version of the arena to master? I don't know but my interest in this game is fading and I am looking for more excuses not to play.

Gosh, didn't mean to get so long-winded
:/

Yeah you're right bro but i think this event would be better.

I made a suggestion in the other thread about increasing the energy rejuvenation speed while logged in. Discussions in guild informed me of my errant thinking as there are many that have programs that keep them on line and possibly even run their character through dungeons. I do not know how true that is, but that seems to be more of an exploit or cheating and possibly outside the norm. I still like the idea.

Perhaps other suggestions could be time reductions that drop from bosses outside of the event bosses, Make it from those bosses that are not the common locked farming zone....in addition to elorian essence. Thus, a free 5 minutes off your timer is hardly detrimental to plat users, but it is huge for non plat spenders to keep them (including me) on line for extended amounts of time.

As always just a suggestion to help all.

A valid concern! In our current iteration, (as things are always subject to change during development) Elondrian Essences can NOT be purchased, they are farmed only. They are also on a separate drop table than the other essences, so the fact there are more essences now available to drop does not mean fewer drops of those essences or the new ones. The pool is not diluted, you can potentially receive a new Elondrian Essence and a Glacial Essence for example from the same mob, though you would be very very lucky!

For some, crafting slots and inventory slots won't be enough for these added essences. Is there any way crafting slots can be expanded just for this event?

The portals, honestly doesnt really matter how often or how manny in a map appear, they should just put one in town same as in goblin event since they didn't make the contest for all players.

Actually, they should just put it on the map so you don't have to teleport and loose a few seconds to go to it, they might loose the lb in that time.

This is currently how Ursoth's Assault is set up, yes.

Edited a bit for better understanding.

Yes, once you hit Gold the egg will be granted like the rings in the goblin event were

Yay, but one question how much points is it needed to reach gold tier is it the same as goblin event or you guys added more points to reach gold tier on this main event?

Thanks for all your answers!!!! This one does bum me out a bit, the farming of portals was one of the things that made Tarlok so great and brought so many folk together in game. It is a shame that the fun of the portal hunt can't be worked into the new system.

In this case... Wait.
First I want to ask this.

Did you decide how many event essences will be needed to craft new crates?

If sts increases craft slots then people wont finish upgrade with plat. If there are limited craft slots and you are desperate to finish craft and start new one,you will finish it with plat. But increasing slots kills it.
