Link to main thread.New System: Relief & Recovery
Players who are looking to rebuild alongside The Wardens are rewarded for specific action.
+2 Alignment for each other player Assisted(help them kill a PvE or even PVP enemy who initiated the fight).
+4 Alignment for each other player Revived.
+6 Alignment for each Remnant aligned player killed.
+12(+1 per additional wave after 15) Alignment for each "Defense" Combat Trial completed.
(Unlocked at Alignment 64) New Combat Trial: Defense-
Up to 3 players are tasked with the protection of what appears to be a dojo against waves of non-player enemies. Each wave has three enemies, with enemy damage, health, and stamina getting increased by a set amount upon completion. Each enemies' moveset and gear are randomized, with there even being some Remnant enemies mixed in every now and again.
Every time a player dies(brief window to revive them), the dojo is destroyed by 20%, meaning players can only die 5 times per play through. Enemies start out really weak(as in 3-shot weak) and rise to and even above boss status.
New Style: Noble Style-
The Noble Style is a heavy combat style focused around the use of weaponry and one's body to create openings. Heavily influenced by Strength and Vitality. Every new move is unlocked per 12 From Alignment 60-180.
