Dreadspire tease

[Vaion]

I always enjoyed luclin names that made no sense spelling wise.. so i like to throw random letters around here and there...

*runs behind the curtains and fixes his horrible spelling*

Also, I added in 3 more Mini boss events that have a 5% chance of spawning when you kill specific trash mobs.

Looking forward to discover those event, scripts are what is missing imo on actual encounters.

Sad I wasn't online for beta testing

On live I played/raided regularly until about a month after The Serpents Spine expansion. Some of the encounters and areas that were added into the game were really amazing! I remember raiding in DoDH and you had to have the strat down pat and the entire raid had to work together really well or WIPE! I'm really excited to see this kind of thing come to THF

[Waor]

Please tell me you got rid of the random ae turnyouintoagargoyleanddiewhenitwearsoff from the first encounter.. That got so old on Live.

He didn't copy any scripts from live, they're completely unique so far =p

Update!!

Itemization has begun for tier 1 and 2 in the zone. There is also 5 mini bosses that have a 5% chance to spawn when you kill trash mobs (yay for reasons to actually kill trash mobs).

The total status of the zone is as follows:
Tier 1: 3 main events, 1 mini boss, 4 quests
Tier 2: 6 main events, 2 mini bosses, 6 quests
Tier 3: 3 main events, 2 mini bosses, 5 quests

Each event has 30-45 minute timer (depending on difficulty of event) to beat it, and if you fail the event it resets in 20 minutes. If you are able to beat the event the respawn is 24hr +/- 8hr.

As already specified, each event will take a lot more than just tank and spank, these scripts are meant to challenge you in every way possible. I personally can't wait for the wipes to begin

Just to give y'all an update...

Teir 1 is finished, the items and npcs are in and ready to go. Itemzation for tier 2 is still underway and should be finished shortly.

The entire zone has had a revamp in difficulty with the release of VP and all I can say is good luck and have fun wiping on trash mobs once the zone is released. /cheers.

From the journal of Sylvia El'doth, The Vampire Slayer:

'Day 216,
The days begin to blur together, it feels as if the darkness of this realm creeps into my very being. The powers of the Chaos seem to be growing here beyond anything that we could have imagined. Even as I write this entry, my heart feels a great shift in the balance of the chaos and order. I was given strict orders to keep my mission a secret, if the inhabitants of the forest knew what evil is being bred here, they would cower in fear. My most recent endevour, attempting to get past the drachnid bridge keeper, brought me face to face with my prized enemy, the vampires of Dreadspire. While they look the same and fight the same as those of the mayong catacombs, these dark creatures have an eerie aura about them. They almost seem to glow with a dim darkness that would strike fear in the hearts of most adventurers. As they approached me, I quickly dissembled two of them and watched as their allies continued at me without hesitation. Attempting to gain some ground between myself and the remaining two, I sprinted back no more than 20 yards, turned and noticed that there was once again four vampires approaching me. Had the remaining two multiplied? Or was it some cheap trick of the Chaos meant to disheart the warriors of the order? Nevertheless, my next attack was swifter than the first, catching three of them off guard and knocking the last to the ground in which I decapitated him with one savage blow. Wiping off my blade I decided it would be best to head back to camp and contemplate the endeavours of my day. However, no more than a few seconds after I turned to walk away, there was an aching pain in my side. Glancing down I saw the dagger of one of the vampires dug deep into my left side. As I turned around, I was struck with horror as I saw the once dead vampires rising off the ground, unscratched and blood-thirsty. Knowing that there was some new form of dark magic at play here, I chose to retreat back to my sanctuary and contemplate the new form of evil that the chaos has created here. My heart aches at the thought of these monsters getting out of this realm. For what chance does the order stand against creatures that can never die?'

Update:
The revamp is finished! all events and trash mobs have been given significant boosts in the abilities to ensure that dreadspire will offer a unique and different challenge to raiders. Also, all trash mobs have been given special abilities that will make sure you really pay attention to what is going on!
