07 / 07 / 2022

Stalag Grotto Battle (PvP Event)

Introducing our first PvP focused [EventScore event: The Stalag Grotto will transform into a PvP bloodbath Battle this Saturday, July 9th at 1PM ET lasting two weeks.

 

Whenever a player participates in one of our existing rotational PvP Events (such as Town Struggles, CCC, DF, Rifts) and earns 1 or more Reward Points/Battle Commendations, they will also be given 1 Stalaghorn, which can be used to gain entry into the Grotto.

  • Stalag Grotto Battle is a 2 week long PvP event where players can gain temporary access to a new Stalag Grotto region
  • During the event, the Stalag Grotto becomes a Grey Zone where players will battle each other (among other activities) to increase their [EventScore for the event

Stalaghorns

  • Whenever a player participates in one of our existing rotational PvP Events (such as Town Struggles, Corpse Creek Contests, Dungeon Flashpoints, Stygian Rifts) and earns 1 or more Reward Points/Battle Commendations, they will also be given 1 Stalaghorn which will be placed in their Bank Box
  • Stalaghorns are bound to the player (cannot be used by other players) and cannot be Stolen (but will drop on death)
  • Players will need to spend a Stalaghorn bound to them in order to gain access to the Stalag Grotto Battle event
  • Players will not be able to utilize any Stalaghorns previously earned from our earlier Survival (PvM) event, as those are automatically deleted upon completion of that prior event

Spirit of Leodcyning

  • In order to participate in the Battle event, players must first locate a “Spirit of Leodcyning” NPC
  • Players will be able to find this NPC in front of the Leodcyning’s Burial Mound POI Location, as well in several locations near the banks of all Towns
  • If players say “Event”, “Stalag”, “Horn”, or “Grotto” near the NPC, or double-click them, it will launch the Battle Event Menu
  • Players gain access to the Stalag Grotto event region by having a Stalaghorn (that is bound to them) in their Bank Box or Backpack and then clicking the “Enter Stalag Grotto” button in the menu, which will teleport them to the region
  • However, players cannot enter the Stalag Grotto while a PvP Event is in currently progress (such as Town Struggles, Corpse Creek Contests, Dungeon Flashpoints, Stygian Rifts)

Death Inside the Grotto
When a player dies inside the Stalag Grotto, several events occur:

Attackers
Killing another player in the Grotto is worth up to a maximum of 300 points towards their [EventScore, but is adjusted as follows:

  • Each player who damaged the victim within the last 30 seconds will receive points towards their [EventScore scaled based on their Total Damage % dealt to the victim (ie. 50% of total damage = 150 Event Score)
  • If a player is ever Fully Healed (100% Health), it will clear all Damage History from them of players who damaged them previously
  • Players will receive no points for killing Guildmates
  • If the victim has less than 5 minutes of Time Remaining left in the region, the initial 300 Points [EventScore value of the player will be scaled downwards based on that player’s Time Remaining (i.e. a player with 3 minutes Time Remaining in the region would have an [EventScore worth of 180 instead of 300)

Victims

  • When a player dies within the Grotto, they will not lose any of their items

Resurrection
