More Medallions of Permanence!
A secret council convened recently to discuss an important matter. Present were Crown-Legate Crimm, Storm-Brigadier Rand, Allur Rag-Veta, Gaor Trad, Legate Val-Tar and Colosseum's Master Davian. These esteemed seasoned warriors decided to change the rules for accessing the Trial of Combat. From here on out, any warrior who wishes to fight Adan's best will first have to prove their valor and battle mastery in the Battlegrounds.
When fighting in the Arena of Honor, Seven Bridges of Shadan or Sea Battle and proving your worth as a warrior, you will receive the Trail of Combat Quest that pits you against Crimm or Rand. Winning it will earn you the and the next Quest, upon completing which you will be able to upgrade the Medallion to the next level.
Medallions' stats were also changed. reduction now depends on the level of the Medallion:
• — reduces Experience gain by 50%
• — reduces Experience gain by 75%
• — completely stops Experience gain
Medallion's effect duration is 90 minutes, their lifetime - 6 hours.
Medallions can be upgraded to a higher level. To do so, prior to battling the veterans, take part in the Arena of Honor, Seven Bridges of Shadan or Sea Battles and earn the required amount of Battle Points.
After completing the Quest for level 3 reward, you will be offered to choose between two items: the or the , that increases earned by 20% and earned by 15% for 6 hours.
The cooldown between Trial of Combat Quests remains unchanged.
When you complete one of such collections (divided in weaponry, dressing, jewelry, regalia and upgrades) you can buy one of the items, available to you, related to the category of the collection you have completed with a 75% discount (one use only).
Once you have used your bonus it is removed and you have to complete another collection to get another one.
I think such change would lure far more players into arena and will make all people happy.
Just my two cents.
8 people in your clan who are your bracket. Queue up! Make it a daily event time. And that's just your clan Can't find 3 friends to do arena with daily? Suppose it'll depend how many matches it takes, but I think anything that pushes you all to get in the arena and play together is a good idea. We shall see :)
P.S. Wars Please
They have a special collection for hero pieces from Invincible Warrior, and it still doesn't fire.
Yes, we'll see but it won't work...never does with these kind of changes.
And yes! I'd forgive DE (well DE still is pretty awesome) if they could get us IW and Vortex going
Rest of it... Guess no more medallions for me. Back to toon hopping and not progressing on here as fast. If anything this slows down growth more then medallion did.
Good to know. This update will make me fight even less than before. :D Oh joy. In case it wasn't clear, that was sarcasm. :D You can suck a fat one DE. Anybody sitting there ass over there would have the good sense to know that this will just make people fight even less. I've had better ideas that were farts that were more useful that this bull- fill in the blank. :D
Just had a clan mate finish one of the quests, he got points for a losing battle.
I think it's kind of funny, they pretty much posted the update with no warning or debate on it. So it's pretty much the game saying screw you, and who cares what you think. This it the kind of stupid stuff they dream up instead of making wars happen again .
Yeah, u get 4 points instead of 10 (or more?) for the loss when u fight for the the first two medallions, and things get even worse for the third one/ Or u can spend 2 reals for 2nd and another 4 for the third. This is a very disappointing update already, but i would accept it if calculations were done according to dmg dealt. We will end up fighting stripped on arenas to cut down costs, especially taken that battle points depend upon victories. I can afford spending three hours stripped, ill get my medallions eventually...
You could always go the Cashers route and buy all your collections to catch up on the perfect reps.
I do wish this had been launched while merchant was in town, I'm going to need a lot more Charms of Durability
You do know there is more to this game than just hop ? People should not fight just for medallions but because it is a war game and the thrill of a fight.
