Questions about Upcoming Defeat Event

No feedback post yet, so

1. Will old passes to the Circus work for the purposes of this event?

2. Will pet parts be equally random in a 4 day event?
If the odds are 1/20, a massive amount of prep time will be required to make the runs, to get the keys, to get the chests, to get the drops, to build the pet.

3. Will there be enough players available for groups at those tier levels?
Logistics will be a pain for many. High difficulty won't make grouping pleasant.

 

1. I don't know ... but they should work
2. According to this official guide they are 100% guaranteed drop ... but ... I was playing the event in the past few days ... opened 100+ golden chests and I haven't got a single part.

 

Will the Jewel of Rage craft together other 2 identical stones into a higher tier Rage stone?

 

How hard are the painful bosses comparing to in-game ones? Painful khalys vs PW khalys, Balor vs e-Balor? Etc

 

According to the event guide, the new Circus portals have different icons, which leads me to believe old ones will become obsolete and useless. Don't you have old ones on TS, trak? That way you could test.

Based on what info the guide shows, no.

 

No.
This was my 3rd gem ... and you can't craft them.

Much easier.
Balor (painful) is 10 times easier than the real Balor at normal mode. I was using red essences, event buffs (10% damage) and that glowing stick buff, and health potions ...
All you need is faster boots because you wouldn't want to summon The Herald of Corruption ... he has more HP than Balor itself
So you need to run around until Balor lose his anger. Of course I am talking about playing solo.

No I don't have the old portals. I don't have the Heredur Doll on TS ... why would I want pet that is working only with bosses ... on TS?

 

We will need aprox 850 realm with 45 painful difficulty runs to make one tier 3 peridot gem, and that is if the shiny chests actually appear once every 5 runs as stated.

Back to the realm farm I go!

 

Not even Parallel World is dropping enough realm frags to be on time for the event. You Hoo, Big Point!

P.S. At 25 realm frags / hour, it will take me 300+ hours of play to finish the Gold Achievement for Realm Frags. That is 7+ weeks at 40 hrs/week, like a full time job.

 

I was spending 2 hours a day in nahuatlan to farm 65-75 frags... Looks like we will need to spend all day there instead!

 

After all the feedback about how hard and boring is to farm fragments for the 2 monthly events(plus ess event) we get an other event with fragments enter great gj bp.Guyzs anyone here who did the maths how many frag we need to finish the progress bar?

 

LOL, really? Pfft xD. DSO devs at their finest.

Not for the pet, I was asking in case you maybe tested some stuff and got one or two. Anyway, by the looks of the icons, the old ones won't be usable... unless they convert them.

Not only did they increase the frag costs at the reworked Moon events, but they also added another frag sinkhole in the form of this other event rework, and not a very cheap one at that. Exactly what we needed (-_-). What was wrong with the "defeat bosses, drop portals" scheme? Also, no more boss-beating quests for insignia? Only drops from Circus ones? I have a feeling of a bad grind coming. I fear that this event will also follow the path of the Moon ones and will be more or less ruined than it was before...

 

You have 2 ways to get the fragments:
1. slow grind - no andermants spent
2. easy way - lots of andermants spent (this is what DSO wants, and that's fair. Also a reason they increased the amount needed)
If you want to play, grind (you don't have to finish the event). If you want to finish it, buy
What more important is the difficulty - loot quality ratio

Since I'm f2p i will probably skip this event

 

We all know this game is built around that idea, what we are trying to get through to their thick craniums is that even the ones that spend modest amounts of money find it ridiculous and won't spend money to finish.

 

Well it's a fact that this game is a f2p/p2p and it's also a fact that without the $players the game wouldnt exist and without the free players the servers will be empty and also seize to function,who wants to play on a mmo rpg without population?!So plz dont give reassons to f2p players to leave the game,events must be funny to play with and with no PREFARMMING...You think it's nice to farm hours to be able to just enter the event.The only thing you manage by doing that is to decrease the population of the game p2p and f2p leave

 

I think DOS should give premium users something like a free pass, and lower a bit the amount needed for f2p players.
P2P players don't like the fragments farm too so I think that should be a good idea.

 

Really?
How about ... the event starting completed with all the rewards for the Premium users?
Why bother playing, clicking and risking injury with their fragile fingers ... when they need them for typing the CC credentials.

 

According to official information handed down by the mods in the German forum, the old passes will still work (IN SPITE of the different icon!) and take you to the normal mode Circus.

Doesn't look like an equal distribution to me ... (credit goes to @cosopt )

You get one peridot (t1) gem from event progress and another one guaranteed from the first shiny chest you open. Afterwards, they drop at 10% probability, only. So you can expect some 1 + 7x10 = 71 shiny chests you need to open, or 355 runs of the hard mode.
If that is worth the effort for 350 runs in order to have one (t3) gem with 4% resource savings instead of 2 (t1) gems with 2% each is up to everyone on their own...
Keep in mind that the event is announced to return more often.

Personally, I like the new mechanics a lot better than before, because I don't have to kill Kristoff 280 times for event progress , but i get the progress from the event bosses (which are the same as used for farming accesses before, which was also heavy grinding - now they are scaling to your level and more fun to defeat). And I can farm access passes (realm fragments) basically wherever I want, also in the PW.
I am not likely to play a lot of it, though - the rewards are not so appealing to me, most of my chars use the Dragan set and a ring of inner fortitude for more resources.

 

The event guide is almost finished
DSO Wika Event Guide
If anyone have any suggestions or questions ... go ahead.

I will post info about this question in the guide ... but not before the event starts
I am playing smart ... my motto is: don't let the players get screwed by BP.

 

So, in effect, we get partial prizes for completing the progress bar. Way to go, Big Point! A new level of chintzy.

 

Sounds quite familiar to me. Up to now, this was known as "challenges" running every week for 2-3 days. Now we get it for 4 days, every 3 months, maybe? And with rewards (the peridots) that are at least useable (if not useful) on their own: So, I think we've had it worse...
