so update 1. 6 is here for throne and Liberty this will bring downtime for approximately 2 hours as it mostly includes stability and backend service improvements however we have some details with a lot of new content upcoming we will be able to take away an absolute ton of solent and a load of Lucent so this next week is looking pretty exciting let's get into all of the details first of all just a quick showcase you can see those guys there made some fancy pictures and you can see again the details which I've covered before interestingly they've changed this stat from the 4. 5 million user count maybe they didn't like people like me saying the average person's only played 29 hours which that is even different since this displayed 133 million and now this just 103 I don't really understand why the numbers changed so much it's a little bit concerning but we dive into the new content the tax delivery event and the castle Siege event this will all be happening over this next week when I say next week I don't mean this week I mean the week following the tax delivery event will be set at a time by the players and this is the event where we can take away an absolute ton of Lucent along with millions of solent depending which team team wins so let's dive into all the details that you need to know about this tax delivery event a lot of credit to these guys on the wiki and also these guys on maxr we start with what is tax delivery it will basically be a cargo system one team is going to have to bring this tax chest from vienta Village all the way to stormguard Castle the people who currently own Stone guard Castle which on my server is the guild temp P will protect and have the duty to transport it everybody else has the opportunity to go and destroy it and prevent them from performing the tax delivery and whichever team succeeds in their objective will take away an absolute ton of rewards including solent and Lucent there are essentially three conditions if the delivery succeeds then the guild members who own the castle win and get rewarded if the Titan C is destroyed then everybody else who contributed in destroying it win and get rewarded or if the timer runs out nobody gets any rewards and the event has to be rescheduled you will also get a tax delivery basically participation reward which doesn't really have much in it but the requirements for the tax delivery is to own the castle you then have to schedule it to on a certain day and it can only be between 2:00 p.
m. and 1:00 a. m.
at a a lot of time and we will see exactly when they allocate the time in the timetable here on daily it's not currently there so just be on the lookout and be prepared to join in and take away a ton of rewards but when the event is created you can see the area the path that the Golem has to take is along this road pretty much and they will enter certain choke points but again the objective is to get this chest delivered for the team who owns the castle or get it destroyed for everyone else to help move that chest you have the Titan cargo this massive Golem you start at vienta Village and you end at the castle now one person has to choose to be the gollem you get like 9. 8 million Health you may remember one of the leveling quests where you turned into that guy but you do have to be of Guardian level or higher belonging to the castle to be able to assign yourself to turn into that Golem now you want to have somebody who has good internet because if they disconnect it's going to like basically respawn back at the seal Stone Point so there's the first one second one and the third one but you aren't like completely defenseless as this guy you can actually do stuff you have three different abilities like heavy Smite swinging your Shield to absolutely annihilate enemies in front of you strike the ground and also drop drastically reduce damage taken for you and surrounding allies for 5 seconds if you're going to take like a big hit which you may very well because there's going to be a barrier here where you're going to be stopped you can have Bandits attacking you along with I'm sure all of the enemy players too these little Bandits have like suicide bombs and can do massive damage to the Golem if they successfully get there the choke point area I believe is just here so you're going to have people up on these rocks shooting down on the gollum and it's going to be an absolute mess the gollum has to get through that barricade before it can proceed forward and even when it gets past that point it runs into another barrier at this point where it reaches the gate and enters it's going to get locked down by these spokes of bondage those spokes will need to be destroyed by the players for the Golem to proceed so enemies of the tax delivery will seek to prevent players destroy it so they can maintain dealing high damage to the Golem and hopefully get it destroyed if that doesn't stop it well they have to face a mini boss Defenders will have to either kill it or lure it away as it can deal some massive damage to the Titan cargo if left unchallenged and then finally the last challenge as they're approaching the castle itself they will have to face this chaos Golem and it definitely won't make it Easy by putting debuffs slowing it down you don't have to kill the Golem but it would be a lot harder to continue on without doing so again all the while players are trying to destroy the Golem while other players are trying to defend it so in summary if you're controlling that tax delivery golem make sure you have good internet to not reset your progress range damage dealers on the attacking side will have the most Advantage during the event Defenders will want to make sure they have a solid strategy to defend both the sealstone and the tax Golem simultaneously and if you're attacking the golem make sure to take advantage of height elevation and otherwise the chaos Golem doesn't actually have to be destroyed if you can successfully get past it but yes once the goam reaches the castle basically the attackers have lost and the Defenders have won and then the tax is distributed between the winning players who contributed to the event event if you're wondering where all this Luke actually comes from it's pretty much just the auction house essentially there's a tax rate we currently have 22% two of that is the castle tax and that much is what gets put into the tax delivery storage here maybe not all of it we aren't fully sure on that but could well be so 9,000 if that's 2% my server has spent 4.
