[09/12/2023] Hellbound Modes, Overall PvE Balance and general changes

— Added  Hellbound Instances.

There are three portals shared across the first three acts. Each day, one of them opens at random. Rewards are given based on the amount of monsters the player kills during the first hour of the day inside of them.

• During the first daily hour:
  • 1000 mobs: 20.000.000 Gold + 20 Valyrian Coins + 10.000 Reputation
  • 2000 mobs: 25.000.000 Gold + 25 Valyrian Coins + 10.000 Reputation
  • 3000 mobs: 30.000.000 Gold + 30 Valyrian Coins + 10.000 Reputation
  • 4000 mobs: 30.000.000 Gold + 30 Valyrian Coins + 10.000 Reputation
  • 5000 mobs: 35.000.000 Gold + 50 Valyrian Coins + 1x Hellbound Soul + 5.000 Reputation
  • 5500 mobs: 25.000.000 Gold + 25 Valyrian Coins + 1x Hellbound Soul + 5.000 Reputation

— Added  Hellbound Raids.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 16:15 and 20:15 and Saturdays/Sundays at 18:50 and 22:50 a closed portal will appear in the raid path of one of the following raids:

• Heavenly Archangel
• Infernal Amon
• Goddes Erenia
• Goddes Zenas
• Incomplete Fernon

For the portal to open, the players have to repeatedly defeat the raid whose raid path the portal appeared in. During this time, there’ll be a 30% chance to receive double reward (applies to gold pieces, Valyrian coins and Fernon feathers as well)

Once the portal is open, the double reward bonus disappears. Players can enter Hellbound Fernon’s dungeon with a raid seal. The team can have up to 8 players.

---

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Temporarily the Raid Hell will not have rewards, it will be added as a test with the community to test balance and bugs with the new mechanics and system.

Players who help test it will receive some compensation rewards when Raid Hell is officially implemented with its rewards. Additionally the groups that do better times will receive extra rewards.

Raid highscores have been reset due to the general PvE rebalance. This reset is not definitive, when the Raid Hell testing is finished and feedback is given to apply a second official patch changes all PvE highscore will be reset again to start a new clean season with the stabilized patch.

— From now on, Valyrian Coins will work as the main trade item for PvE items. It’s been added to Instant Battle, Instant Raid, Hellbound Instances and Hellbound raid rewards. A lot of items can be crafted through commanders of all villages.

Note: We are aware that the items available for crafting may not be relevant enough to keep the coin valuable in the long term. We’ll be working on this through the following patches.

— Every Forgotten Hero’s Arrowhead trophy has been converted into PvP.

Note: This option will only be available for the next month. After that, all Mystical Meteorites will be converted to its PvP form.

· Replaced every monster that received fixed damage for a normal monster.

· From now on, instead of transforming the players into monsters, Paimon will summon four of his minions. These new monsters explode after a certain amount of time, killing everyone on a high range.

To avoid this, players have to attack the monsters, all of them die after a certain amount of hits. (It has to be that way to avoid teams with lower level players to wipe)

— Merged daily quests into a single one on both act 6 and 7.

— Removed Traveller’s Treasure since the EastCoin Fortune Wheel is now available.

This change has been made due to the fact that this scroll and the PvP conversion scroll will be removed in a range of 45 to 60 days. It was added to give old players the chance to keep their PvP items updated and is no longer necessary. The chance to obtain a good shell while betting PvP equipment will be increased as well to give players equal chances to obtain good PvP equipment.

Note: Please take into consideration that once a new act is added, the current PvP equipment could become obsolete.

Note: Gear Experience tickets have been sent as a compensation to players who had any armour level upgraded.
