Player Content Event – Quinfall
Creator: Heathcliff Aincrad / Kishidan
Event Name: Rifts of Ordenus
I. Event Description:
The Rifts of Ordenus event introduces a dynamic and challenging PvX scenario across various terrains—marine, ground, and aerial. Orchestrated by the Ancient Dragon Ordenus, rifts from other dimensions spawn enemy factions such as Orcs, Uruk-hai, mini dragons, trolls, and evil witches, enraging the local fauna and causing chaos.
II. Objective:
Players are tasked with defending Quinfall by closing the dimensional rifts to prevent the destruction of nearby cities. This involves constructing defensive outposts and fortresses, engaging in combat with successive enemy waves, and ultimately defeating the rift bosses and their elite guards.
III. Gameplay Mechanics:
1) Rift Locations and Enemy Types:
Rifts randomly appear in various environments, each spawning specific enemies that influence local wildlife.
Enemy types and behaviors vary based on the rift’s location.
2) Defensive Structures:
Players form alliances to build outposts capable of withstanding ten waves of enemy attacks.
Each alliance establishes a main camp to serve as a spawn point and coordination hub.
3) Combat Dynamics:
Enemy waves follow predetermined paths toward major cities but may also target player camps.
Players need to balance defending their bases with launching offensive strikes against advancing enemy forces.
4) Final Assault and Rift Closure:
The event climaxes with a massive battle near the rift portal against the rift boss and their elite units.
Players must destroy anchors that the enemy uses to keep the rifts open.
5) Alignment and Roles:
Players with high karma defend Quinfall, while those with negative karma (criminals) may choose to assist the invading forces, adding depth to the strategic gameplay.
IV. Event Rewards:
Successful participants earn a unique currency to purchase exclusive items from mysterious wandering merchants who appear randomly throughout the game world.
Consequences of Failure in the Rifts of Ordenus Event:
1) NPC Interaction: Access to most NPCs will be restricted, impacting quests and interactions, isolating the area from typical services.
2) Store Inventory and Pricing: Availability of items will decrease, and prices will rise significantly. Many items will no longer be available, reflecting the scarcity in affected regions.
3) Teleportation Restrictions: Teleportation to and from Rift-impacted areas will be disabled, emphasizing isolation and containment.
4) Environmental Contamination: Soil and surroundings near the Rift portal will become contaminated, causing severe debuffs as players get closer. This represents the Rift's corrupting influence.
5) Resource Toxicity: Resources like wood, grass, and animal products will turn poisonous. This adversity opens up new crafting opportunities with unique items tailored to combat or adapt to the Rift's corruption.
V. Community Engagement:
Players collaborate in real-time, voting on strategies and fostering vibrant community interaction within the event.
