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 Medallion of Permanence I and the next Quest, upon completing which you will be able to upgrade the Medallion to the next level.


Medallions' stats were also changed. Experience reduction now depends on the level of the Medallion:


Medallion of Permanence I — reduces Experience gain by 50%
Medallion of Permanence IIreduces Experience gain by 75%
Medallion of Permanence IIIcompletely 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 Medallion of Permanence III or the Medallion of Courage III, that increases Valor earned by 20% and Heroism earned by 15% for 6 hours.


The cooldown between Trial of Combat Quests remains unchanged.

What a drag
Nooberix,
This update is changing the logic behind valor/exp/gold gain. U do know there is a lot of other ways to make battlegrounds more fun. This is NOT meant to add fun to fighting process, just money drain. We shall see how far it goes in a week or so.

It is this kind of attitude that is killing the game. Rather than making the most of the changes you prefer to complain about it. Sigh some people will never be happy

GleanInteresting, the people this doesn't affect, at least in terms of experience, are the ones who are for it. but the ones it does affect are opposed to it.

Best comment i read so far. lol
Nooberix,
My attitude killing the game???? Looks more like suicide to me. Instead of accusing me, try to describe advantages of this update. Try to think a few steps ahead. Convince me if im wrong, but dont bother if ur arguments reduce to my "attitude" lmao
ChloeAva_71, agreed, even during dot when its stupid not to fight, people go hop instead, hoping will improve battle grounds for all brackets

I think you should go and play Simcity that looks more like your game. If you cannot adapt to the changes to the game then it is your loss and you will be left behind and I am sure you will still be complaining about how you cannot do hop">
Nooberix,
Well, thank you very much! As i predicted, u laid down a bunch of killing arguments in favor of this wonderful update ">">.
U like adapting to any changes and dont bother to think? Well, im very sorry, mate....
I don't really care one way or the other. In other more interesting news FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced his resignation after being elected again? I am all confused.
Took a half hour or more just to get the medallion. Ms even bridges went off fine.m three fail aoh before getting one to run. That's just to get the level one. Mthe not if you can get the fights, takes two to five hours to get to level three. And then have the time to do a two hour hop. This is not a good plan.
Major Ursa,
But you, and at least 3 others, went to arena instead of doing nothing. Congrats ">
The reason I stopped doing the arena was other people. For some reason someone must put every buff on possible just for one or two arenas. I do all arenas with a balm and food at max. (DoT is a different story).

I will happily start doing arena with green gear and lesser pots if anyone is interested in this bracket for medallion. I'm not going to pay reals for pots and gold for gear damage just for a dumb medallion that they should have left how it was. Go fix other stuff like Neph masks with the same name but different properties.
ErInZcHaOs,
very true. so you pay gear damage pots buffs and balms... seems to be costing more gold then getting a medallion for hop. Oh.. and you have to gain experience to get medallion so... medallion really has become pointless with this change.

Also been sitting in que entire day 0 arenas fire... good bye red bag. Seems like this is working great!
Its a paradox!!! You need to fight in aoh and 7b and sb to get medallion and then hop to make gold....
"> but then you kinda actually need gold to buy pots and orbs and buffs to fight in aoh and still have enough to repair broken gear after fights...
"> i think they should undo this horrible update.
Seabattle didnt give me a medallion so umm 50k exp. and no medallion :D

The cooldown between Trial of Combat Quests remains unchanged<--- Would be nice if they toss the trial quest into the reoccurring quest page in the quest book since my Trial of Combat quest had a cooldown of 24-72hrs.
A heads up would have been nice on such a drastic change. This won't change the fact that some people just don't do pvp. There will always be people who only log on the do professions/hop/etc and log off. The medallion in the previous state, allowed people to make more money, and I saw an increase (even if it was slight) to pvp on weekends and especially events. Most people now will log on even less, and have less money to pvp on non-event days, I hope this gets changed soon, it really did help make every bracket more competitive in my opinion.

P.S. - I have been in que for 2 hours for AoH and there hasn't been one, after a couple days of realizing there is no real difference.... just change it back
Anyone. This is pretty cheesie
I don't like this update
It will also be interesting to see if the weekend events will see a downturn in activity. Once someone gets the halo of permanence, will that person continue to pvp, or rush off to do the weekly HoP?

"More Medallions of Permanence!" reminds me of the statement "We're from the government, we're here to help." I realize there is another medallion introduced, but I'm fairly certain there will be Less Medallions of Permanence! activated.

I do love the option of Heroism earned being increased by 15%, sure wish the game had clan wars to offer heroism that could be increased, but that would be getting the horse before the cart.
i dont like it what about use non cashers we going to lvl up like crazy now and our valor will go behind ihit pls do the right thing
