Cyntara v8 - Season 2 - Changing the Game
Cyntara has slowed down a bit over the past few weeks. When the chaotic bustle of a "fresh reset" settles down it allows for further development of the server and its content. We have been having a lot of thoughts about Cyntara recently, and a lot of players have reached out to us after reading the Blog Post, named "Beautiful". Coming from a low point, we decided to move the server forward. So, what has been added today?
We are always looking to improve upon some of our amateurly-created maps. We recently accepted and implemented a map created by another volunteer; Ungifted Warlock has been kind enough to revamp the Nightmare spawn for Cyntara! The new spawn is now live. Please give a moment to thank Ungifted Warlock for his wonderful contribution!
Event Tokens
Events have continued to be underwhelming to players since the launch of Cyntara v8-s2. We took note that the new Mount Exchange alone was not enough to encourage players to participate in events, so we took a more universal and critical approach to increasing the value of event tokens. Today, we have introduced Weapon Matrix Crystals!
Weapon Matrix Crystals
You can exchange event tokens for weapon matrix crystals at The Collector. You will notice that you can choose between stable weapon matrix crystals and unstable weapon matrix crystals. What's the difference?
It is our hope that the introduction of these crystals will increase the value of events and event tokens and allow for more tasks for players reaching end-game material. That is not all we have introduced in regard to end-game material...
An Alternate Fate / "Rebirth"
Players that have reached level 1,800 will now be able to ask Queen Yvonne for enlightenment - but not so fast - the Queen has received word from a strange new prophet that he has come to bear grim news. You and at least five other heroes will need to save the Queen in an alternate fate in order to be able to bear a brand new title and begin the new start of your journey.
Who is this prophet? What went sour between the Queen and Finn? What greater power is behind all this?
What's to come?
Within the next few weeks we hope to see:
- A reworking of item stats as proposed here, by Heztix
- An adjustment to the raid system / world events to make some of Cyntara's more uncommon events more common.
- New raids and bosses
- Further balancing for Knights and Paladins
Additional changes, including an increase to the experience rates, can be found here.
Enjoy Cyntara!
