This weekend, we're launching our Events Schedule that will run in parallel to the Beta for our upcoming The Fall of Oriath expansion! There are five weeks of events and many prizes to be won: Beta Keys, Demigod's Dominances and plenty of microtransactions!
There are many types of events planned, including new race types, larger one-week and two-week races as a well as four eight-hour partial-PvP events. You can check out the full events schedule in your local time zone here.
Prizes
By gaining 10 levels or achieving the event objective in any one race, players will receive a Classic Mystery Box. If your event starts at the Twilight Strand, you would need to reach level 10 in order to receive your free mystery box. If your event starts at a different part of the game, you simply need to gain 10 levels above the starting level. In boss kill events, the boss kill itself will enable you to be included.
Only one mystery box will be awarded per account. Reaching level 10 in multiple events will not grant extra mystery boxes.
In addition to the above rewards, you can also win other microtransactions for reaching various objectives in the events! The microtransaction winners will be chosen through random selection. Check out the schedule of prizes here.
Week One: Multiple Events
The first set of events starts on Friday 2 June US/EU time (Saturday NZ time) and runs until Saturday 10 June US/EU time (Sunday NZ time). There are 54 events in total that week. Each one will run for an hour unless otherwise specified. To view the schedule in your local time, click here.
In each event, the top of each of the seven classes will be awarded a Demigod's Dominance. Each event also includes Beta Keys and Microtransaction rewards that will be randomly selected from the pool of players who meet specific objectives or level thresholds. Check out the schedule of prizes here.
There are some new race types that we are experimenting with. In Uber Breach, areas contain no monsters, but many Breaches. In Uber Beyond, each monster has a 50% chance to create a Beyond portal on death and there is 100% increased pack size. In Monstrous Treasure events, areas contain no monsters but many corrupted Strongboxes. These new special events are voided.
Week Two: One-Week Legacy Events
The One-Week Legacy Events run from Saturday 10 June US/EU time (Sunday 11 NZ time) until a week later. There are both Standard and Hardcore versions of this event, and they share a prize pool of microtransactions. Alternate Art Demigod's Dominances are awarded separately per event. You're still able to complete your Legacy League challenges in the One Week event. At the end of the event, your characters and items will merge to the parent Legacy Leagues. This event uses the standard Legacy Mechanics but offers a chance for you to compete on the ladder against other players in a fresh economy.
The top of each Ascendancy class in the Standard and Hardcore one-week Legacy events will receive an Alternate Art Demigod's Dominance. There are also 100 Beta Keys and hundreds of microtransactions up for grabs! Check out the schedule of prizes here.
Week Three: Multiple Events
There are 34 events in week three! These events run from Saturday 17 June US/EU time (Sunday 18 NZ time) until a week later. Each event will run for an hour unless otherwise specified. To view the schedule in your local time, click here.
In each event, the top player of each of the seven classes will be awarded a Demigod's Dominance. Each event also includes Beta Keys and Microtransaction rewards that will be randomly selected from the pool of players who meet specific objectives or level thresholds. Check out the schedule of prizes here.
This week of events also includes four new eight-hour Grief Events (two solo and two party). Two hours before the end of each Grief event, instance invasion and PvP are enabled. It becomes like cut-throat, but without items dropping on death.
Weeks Four and Five: Two-Week Mayhem Events
The Two-Week Mayhem Events run from Saturday 24 June US/EU time (Sunday 25 NZ time) until two weeks later. There are both Standard and Hardcore versions of this event, and they share a prize pool of microtransactions. Alternate Art Demigod's Dominances are awarded separately per event. These events are voided (the characters don't move to any other league).
In Mayhem events, areas are inhabited by a large number of either Rogue Exiles, Tormented Spirits, Invaders, Strongboxes or Breaches. The type of thing inhabiting the area is the same for all players in that type of area, and changes every hour (like how Tempest works). It's pretty clear why these events are voided.
The top of each Ascendancy class in the Standard and Hardcore two-week Mayhem events will receive an Alternate Art Demigod's Dominance. There are also 200 Beta Keys and hundreds of microtransactions up for grabs! Check out the schedule of prizes here.
New to Racing?
If you're new to racing and not sure how it works, check out some tips for getting started here. NOTE: It's okay to delete your race characters once you've participated in a race. They only need to appear on the ladder to be counted.
As always, if you're not able to participate in the events, be sure to check out the action live on Twitch. Best of luck everyone!
