Riders of Icarus outlines its new PvP map, guild alliances, Manastone mode

Riders of Icarus outlines its new PvP map, guild alliances, Manastone mode

 

Play PVP in the Exarahn Badlands

Greetings, Riders! My name is BK, and I manage overseas development for Riders of Icarus at WeMade. We are excited to announce that expanded PvP content for Riders of Icarus will be added to the game later this month! You will now be able to enjoy and compete in large-scale combat activities against your fellow Riders. We hope that guild members will forge bonds in battle and develop rivalries with other guilds through the Exarahn Badlands and Guild Alliance War.

EXARAHN BADLANDS

Riders enter this PvP area through a dimensional rift, which sends them 1,000 years back in time. The Exarahn Badlands is a region that has been left chaotic and lawless after the fall of the ancient Exarahn Kingdom and before the establishment of the Hakanas Empire.

The Exarahn Badlands has a similar topography to the Hakanas Highlands. However, it is a world of eternal nightfall with a looming crimson moon, which starkly contrasts the blue skies and vibrant foliage of the Hakanas Highlands.

This area is restricted to Riders level 28 or higher to ensure that only those that have had sufficient experience in battle may enter. Upon entering the rift and arriving in the Exarahn Badlands, all Riders other than those in your guild, alliance or party will become targetable enemies! So, you will have to be aware of your surroundings at all times when questing or hunting wild beasts. Yes, the risks in this region are great, but so are the rewards.

Because there is no penalty for dying in PvP, Riders who don’t usually enjoy PvP should still try out the Exarahn Badlands content at least once. There are quests to be completed and new areas to explore, as well as new mounts to tame for Riders ready to brave the dangers of the Exarahn Badlands.

Wildstar -- Redmoon Rising update—arriving August 17

The Redmoon Terror

In a transmission intercepted from a Protostar QC recovery team—presumably on a routine mission to annoy every sentient creature in the galaxy—a craft reportedly hulking in the Nexus skyline has been identified as the remains of an abandoned pirate ship known as the Redmoon Terror. A spokesperson for the Ekose Shiphands Union was able to specify that the floating fortress had been a Marauder flagship seized in a murderous mutiny by none other than Mordechai Redmoon himself—who then very humbly attached his own name to it. Known to have bitten the proverbial moon dust on Skullcano Island, the ship of Mordechai Redmoon serves as a haunting reminder of his vast (and past) pirating deeds—if not the general dangers of space debris.

Even after all this time the ship now appears to be teeming with activity, believed by some to be automated response systems due to its proximity to the Nexus atmosphere. But one of the first captains of the ship, Ish’amel—back when it was called the Nebula's Knave—believes the crew to now be risen from the dead by the insidious Laveka the Dark-Hearted, and is offering a reward to all able bodied adventurers willing to end this undead nightmare.

Spooky sorcery or just spinning space trash? You decide!

Skyforge: Next Update Detailed

In our next update, Relentless Onslaught, pantheons will be able to continue their battles against the Death Dealers in the D3 Distortion!

This time you’ll find yourself face to face with Melegh – an extremely powerful Reaper. Melegh is a dangerous opponent, requiring careful selection of classes for the adventure. Simply grouping up and devastating Melegh in a short time will not be possible as your opponent is invulnerable to attacks by characters not in the Divine Form and he can only be damaged when in a state of Rage.

During the battle with Melegh, two phases alternate, each repeating five times. This reaper can subjugate immortals to his will. What that means is, be prepared to fight your own allies or, more precisely, their enslaved bodies. After the boss accumulates 4 points of Rage, one member of the group can assume their Divine Form and fight Melegh one on one.

https://sf.my.com/us/news/announcements/relentless-onslaught-d3-distortion

Melegh’s Abilities

First Phase

• Subjugation
  Selects one opponent and divides their body and spirit. The enslaved body, subjugated to the will of the reaper, starts walking towards him obediently. If the body reaches Melegh, its spirit will be destroyed until the end of the battle, and the body will completely yield to the boss and attack its former allies. The spirit loses all its abilities, becomes the main target of the Test of Tenacity ability, and with a 2 second frequency, bursts of negative energy form in a 5-yard radius of it, inflicting damage to all characters in the area.
  Killing the enslaved body frees the spirit and gives the reaper one point of Rage. The death of the spirit takes one point of Rage away from the boss.

• Test of Tenacity
  If there are no other characters in a 10 yard radius of the spirit, Melegh only inflicts damage to the spirit itself. The longer Melegh attacks the spirit, the greater the damage it receives. If there is at least one character in a 10 yard radius of the spirit, Melegh will inflict the same damage to everyone within a 10 yard radius of the spirit. The longer Melegh attacks several characters around the spirit, the greater the damage to them.
  If the number of targets attacked at the same time changes (just spirit or spirit and allies), the boss loses 1 point of Rage.

• Otherworldly Pull (ability is used during the second cycle of the battle and in all subsequent cycles)
  Used if Melegh only attacks the spirit during the Test of Tenacity stage.
  A negative effect is applied to all characters for 2.5 seconds, after which they will be pulled towards the spirit. The effect is removed by dashing.

• Necrotic Aura (used in the second cycle of the battle and in all subsequent cycles)
  Used if Melegh attacks several characters at the same time during the Test of Tenacity stage.
  A negative effect from the aura is applied to all characters in a 10 yard radius, knocking other characters away. The effect is removed by the cleansing abilities of the support classes.

• Grave Bond (used in the third cycle of the battle and in all subsequent cycles)
  Melegh selects two characters and binds them with grave energy for 10 seconds. If the energy is red in color, the characters must stay close to each other, and if blue, they should be no closer than 10 yards away from each other.

• Disarmament (used in the fourth and fifth battle cycles)
  Melegh takes away the weapon from one of the characters and hides it in one of three ghostly orbs. The other two conceal his Vird minions.

RUNEFEST 2016 JOURNEYS TO THE EASTERN ISLES AS TICKETS CLOSE TO SELLING OUT IN RECORD TIME

RUNEFEST 2016 JOURNEYS TO THE EASTERN ISLES AS TICKETS CLOSE TO SELLING OUT IN RECORD TIME

 RuneScape heads east with a new archipelago continent and a new venue for its annual community convention

 RuneScape is setting sail for a brand new continent this October – The Eastern Isles – and RuneFest 2016, the iconic game’s fan convention, is set to celebrate the upcoming Polynesian-inspired destination! Taking place on Saturday 17^th September at London’s Battersea Evolution, RuneFest 2016 will take attendees on an epic journey across the seas to the new oceanic land of islands. Demand for tickets, which went on sale a fortnight ago, has meant the community event is approaching selling out in record time.

An initial segment of the continent, The Arc, is now available and contains the islands of Whale's Maw, Waiko and Aminishi islands anchoring many other smaller islets. On these islands, the indigenous people have never heard of the player’s adventures, so gamers will have to start afresh, building back up their wealth and notoriety – even long-term players will be on a level playing field.

In addition to sharing further information about The Eastern Isles, RuneFest 2016 will see a barrage of main stage announcements, covering the latest news and future plans for RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, and more. Festooned in the finery of the Eastern Isles, RuneFest attendees can expect to participate in themed activities, including a cosplay parade, challenges, Q&A sessions with key developers, meet and greets, a huge after-party, and a raft of other distractions and diversions.

“We can’t wait to meet up with our fellow ‘Scapers at RuneFest 2016 as they join us for an intrepid celebration as RuneScape pushes new horizons. We’ll be showcasing the new frontiers of the Eastern Isles and announce some of new content heading to RuneScape in the year ahead,” said David Osborne, lead designer, RuneScape. “We’ll also be unveiling our plans for other games in the family, including Old School RuneScape and its ever growing popularity in the eSports sector, mobile versions of Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, and the upcoming 0.5-player game, RuneScape: Idle Adventures.”

Lucky RuneScapers – and those looking to secure their journey to the Eastern Lands – can find further information about RuneFest 2016 by visiting www.runescape.com/runefest .
