Discussion board for the Relic Event.

[Shadowalker]

when your combat icon comes up, your unable to rest, and initiative is rolled.

Does this apply to daily play as welll.... non-event venge logging?

Yes, except for Wednesday, also known as Devil's Day. on Devil's Day the ruling is reversed, so you cannot log out until you have rolled initiative with a toon or NPC within 5 levels of your character's level. On Sunday, or the Lord's Day, the rule is the opposite of Devil's Day, so you have to roll initiative with a toon or NPC greater than 5 level's difference and strike 3 blows with that enemy. Until the third blow is struck (henceforth called the dolorous stroke), your toon shall not log out for fear of venge logging. Logging out with haste on the Lord's Day shall result in a penance of 3 days ban, whereas battle logging on the Devil's Day shall result in a penance of 2 days' ban. If you strike a dolorous stroke on any day other than the Lord's Day, you must trace a clockwise circle around your target to cleanse them, while traversing and foining, to make amends. Hence they shall give you worship and you shall rightly log out from combat, forthwith. Avoid your horse lightly, dress your shield, and play the man, especially on the Lord's Day.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it for any of this event. My brother will be in town the entire weekend. I only get to see him once every year or two. Good luck to all (except AO,RK,TC,NC)

Just hitting this up to remind everyone that the event is up and comming fast. Hope all are ready!!

Any questions feel free to ask.

[Jacks Revenge]

If the server is still laggy as it is, Are we still going to hold the event?

I agree... if the new server is not ready, we should postpone until it is ready.

[TheEdge]

I did plan as much. Playing this by ear.

[Dobian]

Works for me. Gives me more time to get this toon to 40.

[TheEdge]

So we are on the new server!!!! Whoot

This means that the event will go on as planned.

one thing to note. The new server has been set to auto reset every 5 hours rather than 4. This setting took effect at the time that the new server went live. This is why you have all seen some strange server reset times.

That being said, the dates and times for each heat will remain the same. We will just have to work around it. The plan is also to still effect a return of the relics to their home at the halfway point (two hours) into each heat.

One thing I want to add to that. As each halfway point comes close I will send out a shout warning "10 min till reset of relics". At the five min mark any relics still in play (that is the relic is not in one cradle or another) will be snagged and slapped in a cradle so that the reset can take place. This will happen no matter what type of action is taking place at the time. Even if a relic has just been snagged out of a cradle, almost back to a cradle or hidden somewhere in the wild.

Should be interesting, should be fun.

[TheEdge]

I was asked a question that I want to address and clarify.

Q: Does the reset of the relics halfway through each heat whether in the form of just an auto reset or a quick server reset takes place enable one to reset the 30 min timer for raiding characters.

A: No. the reset of the relics will require one to plan ahead and think about stratigy throughout gameplay. If caught breaking the 30 min raiding rule then standard everyday action will be taken.

I vote (lol like that means anything) that the Event be pushed back due to the "Big Burp" . All the careful preparations that had been made have been erased (gold,exp,gear etc..) and no time to recover it.

Ditto


Not to mention everyone is still suffering from shock or in a state of mourning. Give the people a chance to regain thier equlibrilum. Please.

I'd lean towards a 2-4 week extension, based on how densely balor events can be held together.

[TheEdge]

The reason I am not prone to allow an extention is two fold.

1. People have specificly taken time off of work and or re-arainged their schedules to meet the Event timeline.

2. The Balor parties that the staff has worked hard to hold so far and will be continued to be held for a bit here and there will and so far has made up much if not close to all of the exp lost in many cases.

Concirning gear ,we all know that mules are spread all over the server hording items that have been gathered for a long time. band together, help your fellow player

I've been on everynight since it was fixed and havent seen hide nor hair of one Balor besides in a little DMz sport with a handful of 40's. 11-7am EST show us nighthawks and Aussie's some lovin eh?

It's not just that either. the time spent preparing our toons with books, Crafts etc... is also the issue.
I'm just saying. Most of every player i've talked to isn't ready for this event at all anymore. I'm sure there are players that are fine but for the most part i'd say not.
