What even is this event? I wouldn’t know being as trying for multiple times today and never once gotten a match.
The heck kind of party find system is this? The event triggers with a 2 min timer and you hope 6 people sign up and wait for the counter to hit 0?! I had 6 people in my attempts but of course they left before the timer ran out.
Also what’s with the steady chat spam of the event with no way to ignore it.
Just feels like another release that was never tested properly.
It seems to basically be a replacement for the previous Ancient’s Cradle open-world PvP event that almost no-one bothered with. When I saw that you could obtain Rhodolite from competing, I did just enough matches to cap my Rhodolite, and haven’t been back. I can foresee this a being something people do on a Monday to cap their Rhodolite and then ignore the rest of the week. As for the chat spam, it’s so incessant that if it was another player I’d have reported / blocked them already.
This is the same conclusion I drew. Once the Rhodolite is capped, there seems to be no point to doing this event, just like the previous one it replaced.
On my server, this area is already being AFK farmed.
I couldn’t test it myself, because I already capped most of my stuff with Winds of Fortune on Monday, but a clan mate told me that most of the new mats can be obtained by simply doing your 10 Terror Rifts (every time with 4 Spires) and Hellslayer Bounties.
So this new PVP mode will probably only be useful, if your RNG wasn’t that good during the week.
Or if someone is really into all of the PVP content offered by the game.
I had more fun with this mode then with the new bg but you are right it is hard to get a complete team there and joining matches is confusing.
I wished they would make it a standard pvp mode with normal queue.
What i enjoy at this mode is that not thousands of aoe dammage hits you at the same time and in the more open map really 1vs1 battles exists.
The participants are uneven, so the matching balance is a mess. It would be better if the characters were standardized like Alley of Blood and Conqueror… I don’t know.
There are a few people who enjoy this content, but it doesn’t seem like it will be active in the future like other zone events.
It’s just one of mediocre zone events. What can we expect from zone events?
An interesting aspect to this event is that you can both win and be MVP without killing anyone or picking up the flag.
You simply need to fast farm the hell out of it away from the action. Kill a few of the purple mobs and as many trash mobs as you can while the others are beating up on each other and you win easily.
I think that it could be fun as a clan (grouo of PvP friends) activity (don"t know the max possible tag), funnier than the previous version.
We used from time to time to tag at the same time on a few PvP event by group of 5 to 10 players but as main activities are shared among servers, we were split in 3 to 5 instances.
I need to test it.
Something strange happened to me …in a party we have activated Upgrade Bountyand the portal was generated in Ancients’ Cradle
when we entered the portal we had the message that the pillar had failed (!!!) and we were catapulted into the Destruction’s call activity … it ‘burned’ both the essence of terror and the tasks … I checked and I can’t find a similar report in the bug forum, but before saying that it’s a bug, I would like to be sure that the developers have not ‘forced’ in certain time slots the upgraded tasks that open in Ancients’ Cradle to become the new pvp ow …
if so, we could decide not to do upgraded tasks when Destruction’s call is active …
