I wanted to give some props to the creator of this event. It’s the most challenging thing I have done since the fire elemental event, and even more fun since I wasn’t being one-shotted the whole time. Some spoilers included so I’ll block the rest out. But thanks for creating this one


I love how much team work is required to get this done right. A few people aren’t enough to beat the whole thing. Even if they can finish one part, the seals will be retaken before they even complete the next one. That said, too many people at one seal will make it incredibly hard to finish, and will also reset once they all leave to go to the next. Small teams need to be able to either do them all at once, or a large group needs to split off and leave some behind to defend as the group goes on. And even though I wasn’t there with my guild, the people of the world were smart enough to know what to do, or at least follow basic orders to get it done right.

One thing I would change about this event though is at the canon seal (bottom right one), the NPCs that are supposed to be calibrating this machine, however, they spend most of their time fighting mobs. This was exceptionally difficult with a huge group causing the event to be scaled to the max, hordes of abominations with stacks on stacks on stacks of frenzy dominating the group. The only reason we finished this one was a ton of people got discouraged and went else where, causing the event to be scaled down again and then taken care of by a smaller team. I would offer a suggestion to have the NPCs not enter combat. They are, or at least one of them is, scientists after all. Let one of them calibrate the machine while the rest either help him or help us defend.

also, when the event is successful, kill off the catapults that bombard the middle, even when the event is finished. using the merchant(S) there is very annoying. also it seems like if every one leaves, more risen show up after the event is over to retake the shrine. that’s cool and all, but not enough merchant time, i think. sitting there checking out the cool gear, and the temple gets retaken.

I think Lyssa is one of the more balanced and fun events. I particularly liked that she reflects projectiles … in a genre filled with bosses that exclusively do melee hate and encourage range, it’s nice to have a boss that does the opposite.

She also has some kind of “Don’t Look At Me!” mechanic in that you have to turn away from the boss or you’ll be hit with some kind of daze. You don’t run into too many bosses with that kind of thing.

I found Lyssa to be one of the hardest in the entire world map LOL Like even cursed shore which is supposed to be level 80, is way easier than level 75-80 malchor. There’s that Eye of Zhaitan that one shots players too. Priest of Balthazar was also insane. I can swear this kind of stuff is like dungeon level gameplay haha. We had like thirty players and we just couldn’t do it XD she summons those thirty mobs with half of them being vets and then on top of that, the daze thing which goes on for forever, and the teleport you away, with the catapults launching at you every few seconds… wow. and then always resetting because you don’t kill her fast enough haha like you said we needed much more in several teams, defending the seals and so on. we’d need almost double the amount of players XD It’s fun but wow, it’s pretty much dungeon level. crazy stuff, never expected so much insanity in 75-80 land. i could swear they should’ve put this all in cursed shore instead and tone down malchor lol it would be fun to have this as “endgame” and even just trying to do it over and over again would be epic
