BSK Horde Survival Event! (May 9th, 2020 @ 1PM EDT)

Post by Sway »

What's up guys and gals,

Welcome back to the BIGGEST Blackstone Event!

Join an intrepid band of heros as they face off against impossible odds.
Fight and defeat a Horde of blood thirsty creatures in the Epic Battle known as: "The Last Stand".

Prepare yourselves and be ready to fight the horde!
This event will require teamwork to survive! :twisted:


WHEN

- SATURDAY - May 9th @ 12:30PM - 1PM EDT
(Event will start between this time and may take an hour or two to finish)
Time converter here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
If you need help converting your time zone to Eastern Standard Time (EDT)

WHERE
-Blackstone Keep: Playful Maiden Portal Room


RULES

Players will be put to the test by attempting to survive 5 difficult waves of a horde invasion.
You will start off as a LEVEL ONE character and after each wave, you will gain the XP to advance 1 level.
There will be 5 main waves, each wave will consist of about 80 total mobs(not all at once) and there will be a boss that spawns at the end of each one that you and your fellow party members will have to fight to move on.

Armor and weapons can be bought by a accessing the supply wagon.
A fixed amount of gold will be awarded at the end of the wave to each PC.

IF YOU DIE AT ANYTIME DURING A WAVE, YOU WILL NOT BE RESPAWNED, AS YOU ARE DEAD.

Any dead PCs will be respawned at the end of the wave, unless the party is wiped, then THE EVENT ENDS.

Win or lose, you will be given a reward of one random forge stone for participating.

Player Characters will be made before the event starts, so come to the meet up point in the portal room with your new character.

This is a NO PVP event. Meaning no PvP is allowed or required!

Everyone who participates will be teaming up together.
So know your mechanics, be ready to fight and remain civil in your interactions.

If you can't follow these basic rules, you will not be allowed to participate in future events. (Which there will be plenty of)

REWARD BREAKDOWN

The following explains how the reward system will be broken down.

At the end of each wave, your PC will be given 1000 gold pieces and enough XP to advance your PC the next level.
Use your gold at the end of the wave(s) to buy gear from the supply wagon and equip your PC for the next battle.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
There will be a bonus boss wave at the end of the event.
Players who defeat this wave and survive will get additional rewards.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

If you have any questions at all, please let me know in a message, discord or ingame.

Any restrictions or alignment, or choice of god/godess...

Also any restriction on transferering excess funds to this new character ?

I can think at least one good that gives you an extra level at start up on the boat is this kind of thing allowed ?

I will allow gods at first, I kinda think they will be needed, as this will be a much tougher event than the last one.

But, if it gets out of hand, I can turn them off if needed.

I'll try and make it out, seems like a fun one. One question though, with everything that happens in between rounds is there a timer till the next round or does it begin when the players are ready?

I will set a limit of about 5 minutes between rounds or I will start early if all the players are ready.

A few more questions if you please on this event...

As the title of this event being "the last stand" will the mobs be of undead type each round or will this just be a feature of one round with other 4 being of different type mobs ?

In relations to casters cleric, mages or even bards are summons and familiars allowed ?

In relations to later rounds can one multi-class if one should wish to ?

Also lastly is there are restrictions on alignment choice given that this may be similar to the game on likes of Xbox maybe it would be that we all need to be good or at least neutral alignment ?

Additional thought what happens to a player if they should crash out during a round ? Are they considered killed dead in that particular round and can still join in the following round ?

2. Yes you may summon
3. Sure
4. You can be whatever alignment you want.
5. If you crash you will be able to join back in. Message me if this happens.

I will set the area to no teleport, so I will have to port anyone who exits.

Hey guys please come to the Playful Maiden Portal room with your normal "main" toons. We will make new ones around the same time. I would like to see everyone who will be joining and see where your progression is on BSK. We may have something else happen also, so don't miss it!
