PVP Gear and Halloween Event

The new custom Halloween event will be released Friday 10/15/2010

Sounds nice!

I approve of both the picture and the fact that we're getting PvP gear. Couple questions though:

1) if the PvP gear isn't close to the strength of the T12 it won't be used. How will it rank compared to the current T11-T12?

2) Will rank matter at all in buying the pvp gear? or will only points? (rank 14 for weapons, 13 for chest, etc. you need points as well of course)

3) Any cool rewards for the halloween event?

4) Will the event be a limited time thing, or forever?

5) If i make this list long enough, will you ignore it?

6) Will HoC ever be 'finished'?

Either way i'm looking forward to it, though i'll be spending the weekend mostly away from my computer as i'm visiting family for part of it.

The pvp gear (for example warrior gear) has around 200-250 less strength with around 1100-1200 stam with around 200-240 resi -- Its a bit less damage but you have more health and resi to survive without getting fisted with 1 stun...

Rank is a good idea, it would take a bit longer then it already is but it is a good idea

3) yeah their is going to be a new boss and it will only be up until a little after halloween 10/31/2010

5) yeah i hate reading

6) How is it not finished?

Sounds awesome. Does resil work? If so mad props and WEEEEEEEEEEE FUN time for pvp. Rank goes up way to fast HK wise, at least early on, so i hope that slows down some. Sounds super fun in general

6) HoC - I talked to wackedd or gimnis, i forget which - way back when it was being "fixed" from the crashing issues, and he said something along the lines of

the boss next to Wackedd was added at the last minute and still had stuff that needed to be done with it (drop/script), that Wackedd was becoming a boss you won't need to run the instance to get to (as it isn't a 5 man) and that you all were still working on HoC in general and it wasn't completely finished

He might have been talking about just general tweaks (the last part) but even still it seems like it is missing some things.

First boss is ridiculous with the fact that you need so many dispels (I think disease or poison as well as curse and magic).

Second boss is either piss easy or a tough fight. With a dodgebug tank he becomes slightly easy, but the fact that you can SLOW-KITE him makes it laughable if you use a caster tank who runs around. Solo-able with that.

I've heard the dog doesn't apply the -healing debuff when not grouped, but i'm not sure. if he doesn't then he is soloable as well.

Also, McCrick, your -health debuff stops working after a while into the fight (before the old 'enrage' usually). Kind of lame. Your boss is a joke without the enrage tbh.

My bad. I didn't notice how long i was writing >.< read it still! lol

Sweet im glad you took my suggestion into consideration, and if its ok with you McCrick, im going to continue playing my hunter, but just double page so that i can still answer tickets.

Very cool Dude really wanna see this new area!

Topic updated, sad to say the PVP gear may not be released on Friday or Saturday. Did not think it would have been so much more work with the new pvp system vendor, trying to get the rank required setup and its a pain, the lua script has over 1500 lines O.o

Dang! Impressive amount of work done. I'm diggin' that you took the rank suggestion into everything, although you should still make sure the ranks progress how you want them (not too fast or not too slow. Seems pretty fast from what i've seen). Overall I'm happy to see the PVP system (+ vendor) coming in period, I don't mind a delay.

Keep up the good work, and hopefully we'll see it soon. It shouldn't matter too much to most people as long as it comes out working good
