Zio 240 Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) We hope you are all doing well! Over the course of the past month and a half we have been working on system sided client and server work. Along with developing a vast amount of content that we hope to release following this Christmas Event! Today we bring you our annual Christmas Event in celebration of the Holiday, along with BXP weekends! Featuring a completely new Evil Santa boss, dropping new unique items, mini drop parties, BXP and more! This update offers activities to do while we await next updates release. Check out the patch notes down below! Evil Santa has risen in the Icy Realm with a vengeance -- after hearing of the death of the Evil Snowman from yesteryear. Rounding up all the players of Onyx, Evil Santa challenges any player or group to face his wrath. Appearing every 4 hours to accompany all time zones. Featuring multiple phases, Evil Santa offers a battle against imps, flames, and falling bombs. Watch your step! The boss will roll for a chance to drop the new Christmas items, along with an explosion of presents. These presents will send players on a loot hunt on the south side of the map, within the maze. The Infernal Santa's Set has been introduced as a slightly upgraded variant of the Evil Santa's Set from last year. To make this set, players will have to obtain a Infernal Dye, dropped by the Evil Santa Boss or by Christmas Mystery Boxes. Use them along with any of the Evil Santa Christmas items to upgrade them. The Infernal Santa Armor has the same stats as the Evil Santa Set, with an additional HP and DPS bonus. This increase in previous gear is similar to its Halloween counterparts -- Grim Reaper's Set. The Infernal Santa's Socking offers improved attack and strength bonuses compared to the Evil Santa's Socking. Along with a Statius Warhammer reduced cost special attack. The Infernal Santa's Reindeer offers improved range attack and strength bonuses compared to the Evil Santa's Reindeer. Offering double shot bolts with a dragon hunter crossbow dmg ability. Note: The second bolt is 50% capped. (This is worse than our MK. II in terms of DPS). The Infernal Santa's Gift offers improved magic accuracy and strength bonuses compared to the Evil Santa's Gift. Slightly lowered the Evil Santa's Warhammer Crush accuracy and minor strength to fit more into game meta. Therefore, the Warhammer should NOT be better than Templar any longer. Added a dmg cap to the second bolt of the Reindeer, to be more suited with our other double shot weapons. No further item adjustments will occur with Holiday items. We wanted them to fit the game without being meta because of their limited quantities. We hate making changes, but the past years work was unacceptable. The only other adjustment needed is the Eggbringer from Easter. From now on, all Holiday items will be recycled and rethemed, keeping these statistics so long as they are not game breaking. Similar to last year, we are reintroducing the limited time Christmas Mystery Box with some additional reward possibilities. They are also rethemed to better fit the holiday. The first roll grants the player an amount of GP or Blood Money. The second roll grants the player a piece of PvM Gear: Meaning: GWD Gear, Enhanced Super Mystery box loot, with a rare possibility of obtaining Evil Santa's Weaponry. The 3rd roll grants the player a Christmas cosmetic with a chance of rewarding: Party Hats, Evil Santa pieces, or an Infernal Cracker! These boxes now have a rare chance of rolling the new Infernal Santa's Items without the need of any pre-requisite items. In celebration of the holidays and the grind, the management team has decided to host two back to back, BXP Weekends! Bonus XP will be offered from December 19th till the 21st, as well as December 25th to the 27th. Grind on Fam! Best of Luck and have a great holiday! Have a Merry Christmas! Big updates are underway, stay tuned! Edited December 22, 2020 by Soulgazer 2 S E B I and ext stoner reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
