PTS Update: Blood Moon July 19th, 2012

drannicdrannic Posts: 74 Arc User
edited July 2012 in PTS - The Archive
Greetings Champions!

We will be taking down the Public Test Shard and bringing the shard back to the same build that is currently on the LIVE shard to test the Blood Moon event.

Because we are rolling back to FC.28.20120716.4, The Character Database will need to be reset and new character will need to be created while the shard is on this build.

The current character database will be saved and backed-up, and will be added back to the shard when we patch PTS back to FC.30.2012XXXX.X.

This is only temporary for testing the Blood Moon Event.

Thank you!

    Sweet! Been looking forward to trying to get some of those items again like the Nimbus, etc. Bloodmoon has always been one of my favorite events.
    :wink:

    Is this a rehasing of the Bloodmoon reward system and Bloodmoon missions? I don't see a point to testing it if nothing is changing.

    Firefight still drops old gear. Got an Accelerated Monstrous Sole off of him after soloing him.
    So does Amazing Grace.

    All of them do.

    R6/R7 mods plz. :3

    I was actually able to log in, for the first time in a few weeks.

    However, none of my Vet rewards were applied.

    No kidding. First off, all the links in your former link are bad:
    http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=124177

    And second, once you've found the Copy Your Character page (thanks to the players), it's BROKEN:
    http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=149991

    And the fix seems to be rather simple. Especially since the players found the fix to your coding and put in ways around your flaws.

    So we also lost all our C-Store Unlocks on the PTS .. including Hideouts, and can't even
    claim a free Hideout anymore ?

    Also
    - Some Characters have now to make a forced retcon again
    - Crafted Travelpowers are no longer unlocked

    Great Job like always Cryptic :eek:

    speaking of the C-Store... or should I say the Z-Store, why is it not enabled on the PTS yet? the transection is now done and on the live server... what's your excuse to not bring it back now? Robbobo and Ame gave the transection answer what... 6 months ago?

    Bring it baack! :tongue:

    Ooo, ooo, ooo, I know what you should do!

    Takofanes 10 Man alert.

    Only you have to unlock it first by defeating and freeing all 13 dead heroes' souls.

    Once you get in, it isn't just a fight against Takofanes. Oh, no. The alert should take you through a crypt where you have to refight the 13 heroes within, possibly at a higher difficulty or two at a time, but defeating them enables them to help you during the final battle against Takofanes.

    When actually fighting Takofanes, the 13 fallen heroes should help out with their own attacks, and when a player uses a 'Recover' they're locked out... but there's a way to get back into the fight! Either wait for a dead hero to come by and break the seal so you can get in, or head back and hunt down a randomly-spawned Wrath of Takofanes to get through the barrier and back into the fray.

    Complete loss only occurs when everyone is defeated or on the other side of the barrier.

    Also, R6/R7 mods, new Takofanes gear (1 stat + 2 stat slots + 1 offense/defense/utility slot?) and Dark Auras should drop. Frequently, given the Alert would be a proper dungeon rather than a 'here you go, fight Takofanes'

    This is a fantastic idea! I approve of this message!

    I went in but nobody else was there. Is there a best time to show up so there will be enough players to actually fight undead heroes?

    You'll likely need to recruit friends to go over with you.

    Maybe old Blood Moon with drop of old Blues that were already worthless before On Alert
    minus the devices .. so that its now totally worthless to play it.

    But why test it when the devs, if they still exist, don't listen at all :rolleyes:

    Well, let's just hope that it isn't riddled with bugs. We barely got anytime to test this out and see if anything changed.

    The shard will be updated back to a FC.30.2012XXXX.X build, and the database should be returned to its previous state.

    If there are any issues with your character after this patch, please post to us in the proper update thread, and will investigate into the issue.

    Thank you!
