    Patch Notes Version 296
    Released 3-16-2010


    Trophy Mode

    Trophy Mode Guide
    Eden and Brimstone Pit


    Overview
    So you think your squad's hot stuff? Now's the time to prove it! Trophy Mode requires your squad to overcome your enemies as well as a race against time, to show everyone just how awesome you are.

    When your squad is ready for Trophy Mode, the first thing you'll need to do is to seek out a Celestial Messenger NPC. They can be located outside the entrance of your preferred dungeon. Currently, you can choose from the following dungeons: Eden and Brimstone Pit. To begin, make sure that all the squad members are near the Celestial Messenger and have the squad leader pay the fee of 600,000 coins.


    Scenarios

    When you speak with the Celestial Messenger about Trophy Mode, you will be asked to choose between two types of scenarios: Shared and Greedy.

    Shared - All of the Reputation earned will be split amongst all squad members.

    Greedy - All of the Reputation earned will go to the squad leader.

    After selecting the type of scenario that your squad wants to do, everybody will be teleported into the dungeon. Once everybody receives a Token of Trophy or Badge of Trophy (this depends on the type of scenario), it's time to start the challenge.


    Goal
    The goal of Trophy Mode is simple: kill as many monsters as quickly as possible. To end the challenge, your squad will need to slay the appropriate boss monster for that dungeon. The required bosses are as follows:
    Eden: Phlebo
    Brimstone Pit: Ethereal Abomination

    Note: Killing the above bosses will end your challenge. Make sure you are ready to end the challenge before killing them!

    There are a few things to keep in mind while doing Trophy Mode:

    1) Do not leave the instance until after you are done with Trophy Mode. Any action that causes you to leave the dungeon, such as teleporting, dying, and logging out, will cause you to lose the Token/Badge of Trophy. This item is required to claim your reward at the end of the challenge.

    2) Achieve a Combat Score of at least 10,000. If you don't reach this minimum score, your squad won't be graded.

    3) The squad leader has one minute to talk to the NPC after completion. So don't waste any time if you want to reap the rewards!

    4) Stick together! You won't be able to receive your rewards if a squad member is out of range. This goes hand in hand with the previous tip.

    5) Remember to reset the dungeon if you want to do it again. Otherwise, your squad won't be able to collect the rewards.


    Scoring
    When you complete Trophy Mode, your squad will be given a final grade based on how well you did overall. The scoring criteria will be based on the following:

    1) Combat Score - Monsters are assigned different point values depending on their type. Your squad will need to score at least 10,000 points to be eligible to be graded by the system.

    2) Time - Speed is the name of the game. The faster you complete Trophy Mode, the better your final score will be.


    Rewards
    If your squad did well enough, everybody will receive a medal. The medal's quality indicates how well your squad did overall during that session. The quality of medals range from Bronze, Silver, to Gold. These can be redeemed at the corresponding Celestial Messenger for rewards.

    In addition to the medals, Reputation will be distributed according to what type of scenario was chosen. In the Shared scenario, everybody receives one. But in the Greedy scenario, the squad's leader will receive all of them.

    Cant you do that as well? b:chuckle Unless GMs have forums that mods cant visit. dunno.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    My calculus class has a project we got today, "Write a song parody, poem, rap, or draw a comic relating to a concept of calculus"...I thought "After last week, I think I'm pretty pro at writing parodies."

    HECK YEAH, LUCKY CORAL.

    I love how predictable your sales are, I really, really do. Now I can make money for my Herc and if I really feel like it, a potential Frost Weapon for my veno.

    I might not agree with the new server, and I might not even agree with the corals being on sale again, but I'm sure as hell gonna use it to my advantage. =3

    just my guess, but 3 spark for tideborns wont be in this maintenance, yet trophy mode will be added? and yet no gm, nor dev can inform gm's of the holdup??? or will 3 spark be released with the final 2 class's of the game with the last bits of the map world?

    Just want to let the GMs know that I have my credit card waiting with a clean 5000 dollar spending limit for the new server. If all's well then great. If the anniversary packs are not back then I would have to resort to another MMORPG. Begins with an A and ends in IKA. I have submitted numerous tickets regarding this already, and I'm sure that there are other cash shoppers that feel the same way. Please heed our voice as well.

    Just hope nobody steals my name in the new server b:cry


    But, it'll share the same name database as two of the oldest servers. That means no much name options. <_<


    I wanted to go there, until I saw that on the news... >_>

    Archosaur server will be open for character creation as soon as server maintenance ends tonight, so those of you who need to reserve your names, take note! Also, keep in mind that Archosaur server will be sharing the same name database as the other west coast PvE servers (Heaven's Tear and Sanctuary).

    What exactly is the point/purpose in that? Just curious.

    You know, I'm not usually up that late, so I don't really get to see any forum craziness during maintenence. Dream craziness, on the other hand...

    Yeah, I'm gonna stay up late tonight. Or try to at least. I do enjoy a good dose of forum craziness every now and then.
