Uthgard

Welcome to Sky… uhm… Cathal Valley. Thats where the next event will take place. The title is “Last Stand at Cathal Valley” and it’s not about last man standing. The goal of the event is to capture a keep and hold it as long as possible. This doesn’t come without disadvantages because you have to fend against two realms that get several bonuses from captured outposts in the area.

Every 10 Minutes the system will reward one point to the realm that owns the keep. With each following point without an owner change stronger Mobs will spawn. Also the timer will not reset if another realm captures the keep. That means, that your enemies can steal you the “reward point” in the last second. Note that the keep cannot be upgraded and that siege weapons will be available cheaply at the outlying outposts. The keep lord won’t reside in the keeps tower but will be placed in a less defensible place to avoid the overuse of bomb-defense (which could wipe out 50 characters with just 8 players).

The event will be held on 30 August from 18:00 to 21:00 GMT +1. As always you will need to name a raid leader for your realm. An information meeting will occur a few hours before the event starts. I will post the reward list during this week at the forums.

This night we also changed the bp prices for every item and service available. The material changes are not done yet though, because this requires some coding. I guess we’ll see that change tomorrow. Anyways, here’s the new price list.

Single Respec: 1000 BP
Full/RA Respec: 2000 BP
Recharge Stones: 20/40/70 BP
Nereid Potions (20 charges): 15 BP
Airroutes to the epic zones: 1BP
Small Ram: 25 BP
Other Siege Weapons: 35 BP
Metal bars and strips: 3 BP each piece
Leather and Wood: 2 BP each piece
Cloth and Thread: 1 BP each piece

Thanks for revision of the BP-pricing ...

New prices are 100% correct!! Just as they should be! Thanks to GM's for this!

30 September or 30 August ??

Actually it's August

imo the prices for recharge stones are too high, for a solo class char, who uses lot of charges to run around with lack of inc. At least bps gain from solo kills should be higher, that would be perfect.

@runis:you have the same problem when you run grouped. as caba, i have to use at least acuity AF ablativ , and often dex/q... solo char will use maybe 5 charges

Yes, 5 charges every 10 mins, that means 3 big recharge stones every hour. And if in that hour i get 2 incs (2 kills) or even no soloer around, i waste 3 stones. Thats a not so good motivation for a solo class, and i think i am not the only one that thinks like this. I guess grouped requires charges too, i only use dex/qui on my svg tho.

Greetings,

@Runis: Raising BP gain from players is probably not the solution, i think the way it goes is way it is on live (pre 1.80 etc)

Now when it's barely a must have to run now with buffs from item when one roaming solo, it becomes more comfort than a real issue in group (particularly for alb and hib who usually run with 2 clerics/droods)

Now, i think that's more about a problem linked with the few peoples moving RvR and the fact that bp goes away faster than in.
As well, the gain of BPs from battleground should be implemented back: Main reason price for keep claiming per hour.

On a side note, i would suggest to raise the number in material pile for 1 bp to make it really worth it.
Maybe 50 or 100 units for each materials (or depending on their value).

Regards,
Pirith.

Well, bps reduced with 90%, recharge stones price reduced with 50%, so not preety equal.

I think yes, more charges on recharge stones would be a solution. Sometimes pirith thinks lol ) (don't over doit)
