Today’s the day!
THE TEST IS BEING HELD ON THE PVE DIMENSION. PLEASE DO NOT LOG ON TO THE PVP TEST DIMENSION.
For today’s Onslaught public test, here’s what you need to know:
- You’ll need to create a new character on TestLive
- Play through the beach until you reach “Fate” and “Raidmaster”
- Get buffed by these NPCs
Once you’re ready to join, you can open the Raid Finder (Magnifying Glass at top, or CTRL + R)
The Raid Finder will look like this (not final, will be updated for launch):
From here, you can enter the random queue OR you can enter with a premade group. Once you’re transported to the playfield, you’ll have a chance to explore and get a lay of the land before the scenario begins.
Once your team is ready, fight to the top of the steps of the Ivory Dome and interact with a red war banner at the top. Once you interact with the war banner, the Onslaught begins and does not end until you choose to leave or until your entire party is slain.
- Each progressive wave of Onslaught becomes increasingly difficult for your group to overcome.
- Enemies in Onslaught occasionally drop glowing potions where they die. To consume the potion, simply walk across them.
- A new meter, called the Bloodshed Meter, fills up as you perform fatalities and chain kills. When the meter hits 100%, a miniboss is summoned.
- Special enemies, more powerful than standard fodder, occasionally spawn and requires different tactics to overcome. Special enemies are marked with a skull on your minimap.
- Thurga Khotan himself is a powerful sorcerer and may use his arsenal of magic against you. Stay vigilant for falling meteors or clouds of poisonous gas at your party’s location, and get out of the way!
Have fun, and good luck! Please use the Testlive forum to leave your feedback and bug reports. Thank you!
