heRO-Server Forum - Chronicles of the heroes / Allegiance system / Trial of Heroes

Feb ToH: Down to the Depths

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 17:19:53 -0600

For the first Trial of Heroes of 2023, The Dark and Light Allegiances will form parties to travel through a new instance, and try to find an elusive MVP hidden within! Based on your allegiance's performances, points will be given. The allegiance with the most point will win for this instance of Trial of Heroes.

The new dungeon is rated to be a high end location, though not necessarily harder than Blackout Clocktower and probably easier than regular biolabs if you are going through the floor regularly. Certain builds with specific gear are made to be able to solo there, though the MVP will definitely require a party. It is recommended that participants have been to high end parties and what the highest tier custom monsters in heRO can do.

Once again, the winning allegiance will have a better reward, and there will be allegiance balancing factor once again. The allegiance with more participants are required to split up into 2 parties, while the allegiance with less participants can enter as a single party. The average scores of the 2 parties for the allegiances with higher turnout will be evaluated in comparison to the scores achieved by the other allegiance. It is up to the allegiance members to decide how they want to divide up their allegiance into two parties of similar strength level.

Entry Requirement

Level 89 or higher
Have 50 allegiance points for your allegiance
You cannot switch characters or change your party assignment once you joined one of the event parties

Time

Meet up at Saturday Feb 18th, 21:00 for allegiances to do party up, gearing and so on
Allegiance point check happens at 21:45. All participants should be present by now.
Dungeon exploration starts sharp at 22:00- if your party is not assembled by then, that's too bad
No late entry to the event once the 3 parties (1 for the lower attendance allegiance; 2 for the higher attendance allegiance) enter the instance
Event ends after the instance expires, which is an hour.

Point Scores
Each party will be given points based on the accomplishing the following feats at any time during the event:

1 point: obtain 100 of a certain new etc item within the dungeon BEFORE the instance closes. Prove this by showing GM-Ayu 100 of this specific new etc item in a trade on behalf of your party.
1 point: spawn the MVP. Please ask GM-Ayu to teleport to your party for verification.
1 point: spawn the 2nd MVP. Please ask GM-Ayu to teleport to your party for verification.
1 point for each unique new gear/card found within the dungeon.

Participation Rewards
All participants will get these rewards.

ToH Voucher
1 of 3 "any slot" cards from this dungeon at random
5 mil exp and jexp

Winner Reward
The winners will get this in addition to the participation reward.

ToH Voucher
1 of 6 defensive gear (3 armor, 1 garment, 1 footwear, 1 accessory) from this dungeon at random

Event Details

You are not allowed to change or leave your party after ToH starts.
The map is EXP-LOSS like a regular dungeon.
There will be no guidance from the GM in how to proceed in the instance.
You can leave the instance and return to it at any time, so long as at least one member of your party returns to the instance within 5 minutes. It's recommended that at least one person should be inside the dungeon, even if they are dead, to "hold the instance" so that it does not close prematurely.
You can access kafra, healer, and any other npc services by leaving the instance, and return to the instance later at your own cost of time
You can teleport inside the instance, so fly wings have its advantage possibly. It's up to you if butterfly wings is worth it or not.
There will be no information about the monsters, or what to @mi prior to the event. You'll have to play by ear and adapt within your party as much as possible on the spot.
If you DC, you'll be booted out of the instance and you'll need to regroup with your party on your own.
Whatever the instance allows you to do within the instance is considered a fair strategy.
In case where both allegiance got the same number of points, all participants will get the winner rewards, but the allegiance with the lower turnout will "win" the ToH for the month
In case where both allegiance have the same number of players in turnout, both allegiance can enter the instance as a single party for their respective allegiance.
In case where both allegiance have the same number of players in turnout AND have the same number of points, all participants will get the winner rewards. However, the allegiance that did not win the previous time (that is, the Light Allegiance) will win by default.
Reward is only given to the character that participated in the event (you cannot claim the reward on another account), and only if you stayed for the entirety of the event
There are no banned skills or banned items

ToH Tips

The theme of this dungeon is that it is EXTREMELY mobby. As time goes on, the dungeon gets increasingly mobby.
There are Holy and Shadow monsters present, so don't be too reliant on traditional Storm Gust-only scenarios.
Keep your party flexible: all physical or all magic party typically may result in something being able to hard counter you (especially since Holy and Shadow are present).
If you don't think a "random" party can take on the MVP, then focus on avoiding the MVP or only spawn it, but don't engage it. Try to grab points by mobbing and looking for gears.
For allegiance with higher turnout: as it's the average score of the 2 parties that is being evaluated, it's strongly advised that the 2 parties are of similar strength. Remember that you cannot change party once the event starts, including the case where you exchange party members between the 2 parties of the same allegiance.
Voice chat is available via discord: sometimes it's fun to listen in on the chaos

General high end dungeon tips

Green Potions: there's no excuse not to have this. Your high priest got better things to do
Bring pets: on this one, pet for effects is probably more useful than looter pet unless you need that many healing items.
Prepare to use consumables. It's still a high end dungeon. You will need healing items or sp recovery items sometimes. It is not recommended for your sp source solely comes from a friendly Professor or Dancer/Alchemist. You shouldn't be doing nothing because you got no sp until the professor or alchemist bails you out. Use some sp items immediately if you can't sustain your skills to buy time for your sp source to help you.
Familiarize yourself with heRO/3rd class skills: all of them are fair game, especially if you are tackling the MVP. The MVP definitely has unique skills that are atypical on monsters in other servers.
Have ways for the party as a whole to handle various status ailments: it's not realistic for everyone to wear status resistant ailments for every status, but your party needs a way to recover from them.
Long range resistance is the most cost efficient way to contribute to a high end party without lots of expensive high end gears- if you aren't a front line member, then long range resistance will give you defense against both ranged physical and magic attacks.

Disclaimer 1: We'll do a maintenance/server reboot on Saturday before the Trial of Heroes to apply the necessary changes.

Disclaimer 2: it's a Saturday night so the chance of cancelling the event due to work is extremely low... but there's always the possibility. I should always know by Friday Feb 17th by ~18:00.

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 09:46:36 -0500

Host: GM-Pereca
What: Allegiance Novice challenges (Flower Maze, Minesweeper)
When:May 7, 2022 at 8:00PM EDT (Server Time)

Description:
Annoyed that you got no chance to get better gears because you are new to the server and can't race veterans on MvP kills even though you think you are the more skilled players?

Join us in a Novice only event, where neither level, stats or equipment matter! Create a brand new level 1 novice and meet at the spawn point (do not enter the Training Ground, join Hero's Journey, or be born) and compete in some novice games. Only your knife and cotton shirt will be allowed. GM will be at the novice spawn point to invite you to the event.

Event Rules:

Create a brand new level 1 novice and meet me at the spawn point (do not enter the Training Ground, join Hero's Journey, or be born)
Only your knife and cotton shirt will be allowed
You will be given job level 10
At least 1 Allegiance Point is required to join this event. Join a party belonging to your Allegiance
You must collect all of your rewards on the participating novice

Participation Prizes:
1 ToH Voucher

Note: Participation prizes will be given out at the end of the event.

Flower Maze Rules:

There will be a short trial round at the beginning of the event for players to familiarize themselves with how the event works. Any progress made in the trial round will not count.
Navigate through the maze of flowers and other obstacles trying to survive long enough to get to the next checkpoint. There will be 5 checkpoints in total with increasing length and difficulty.
Series of immovable monsters block the way. Be precise in your movement, and see through all the traps to reach the other end.
This event is collaborative within your allegiance which means that whenever a anyone within your allegiance reaches each checkpoint, the rest of the members of that allegiance will be revived and warped to that checkpoint and will be able to continue making their way forward.
Each Allegiance will be rewarded based on the amount of checkpoints that Allegiance reaches.
Excessive stalling will result in GMs spawning monsters to force novices to move on quickly or face death.

Underdog bonus:
If allegiance with a lower team member count wipes out, GM will revive a number of novices equal to the differences in the number of players between the 2 allegiances. These novices will restart at their allegiance's latest checkpoints. GMs will revive the novice who got the furthest, then the novice who died the earliest, and repeat until the GM has revived the intended number of novices.

Note: No monsters have any targeted skills in the maze, but some of them will have ground based, telegraphed abilities.

Rewards:
Rewards are based on how many checkpoints your allegiance reaches.

Checkpoint 1:
1 Heroic White Herb Box

Checkpoint 2:
1 Large Yggdrasil Berry Box

Checkpoint 3:
1 Old Red box

Checkpoint 4:
1 Old Card Album

Checkpoint 5:
Costume Flowerpot Mask.

(This costume has no exclusivity.)

Any player who achieve a no death perfect score reaching the end without a single death will also win a personal Costume Crown of Victory.

Mine Sweeper rules

In a small enclosed space where pvp is NOT enabled, the two allegiances will have to try to kill each other through the use of Marine Spheres, which are randomly spawned throughout the map.
At the end of any wave of marine spheres, if the allegiance with a lower team member count loses any members, a number of their novices will be randomly selected to be resurrected to continue the game. This number is equal to the differences in the number of players between the 2 allegiances. This is an attempt to balance the teams.
The allegiance that have any novices surviving at the end, will be the winner of a round. We'll play this to best out of 3 rounds to see which allegiance wins this event.
In cases where everyone dies so neither allegiances have a surviving member at the end of a wave, everyone will be revived and the round restarts.

Rewards:
5 Premium coin bags
30 Prize Medals
50 Battleground points

Winning Allegiance Prize
The winning allegiance will also win a Costume Bomb Hat.

(This costume has no exclusivity.)

Allegiance Monster Arena Oct 24th 10:00 AM EDT

Thu, 14 Oct 2021 02:48:24 -0500

Team arena returns once again as a celebration for heRO birthday!

Differences between Dec 2020 ToH/March 2021 ToH will be bolded.

There will be a 25 rounds. For each round, the host GM will announce the number of players, ranging from 1 (solo battle) to 4, that each allegiance will send out to participate. Each allegiance's team will take turns to enter the arena to fight the monsters awaiting for the team. The monsters that each allegiance fight will be identical. This time, the allegiances do not perform against each other. Each allegiance will fight all waves, and try to win against as many waves as possible in order to win rewards.

However, once a player participates for a round, s/he cannot participate again until everyone else in the allegiance has participated/contributed. Therefore, the Team Monster Arena will measure the average strength of all participants for an allegiance. While a higher number of participants will grant more class diversity, it will be the quality of all players that matter instead of sheer number.

Entry Requirement

You must be exactly base level 80 non-trans: you can make a lv 80 character for this event via the Hero's Journey
50 allegiance point for your allegiance
You cannot switch characters once you decided to enter the event

Time
Oct 24th 10:00 AM EDT

Banned Items

Any pets

Blessing Scrolls
Increase Agi Scrolls
Token of Siegfried
Yggdrasil Leaf
Fly Wings
Butterfly Wings

Banned Skillls

Ice Wall
Ankle Snare
Warp Portal
Teleport
Resurrection
Play Dead
Gangster Paradise
Homunculus: Alchemist cannot bring homunculus at all since they are vastly stronger than a lot of lv 80 non-trans characters

Rewards

All members of an allegiance win the following based on how many waves they have defeated out of 25 waves. Rewards are cumulative.

1 wave: 30 Prize Medals
5 waves: Old Card Album
10 waves: Rough Enriched Ore
13 waves: 30 Prize Medals
15 waves: Old Card Album
17 waves: Rough Enriched Ore

Event Details

Once the first round begins, you cannot join the event.
For each round, the GM will announce the number of players that each allegiance must send out for the round. The number of players will range from 1 to 4.
The Dark Allegiance will always go first
The Light Allegiance only has to choose their team for the round after hearing the results of the round for the other allegiance
The allegiance team will enter a portal to the arena to fight the monsters within.
The portal will dispel all buffs (including item buffs) upon entry
A monster's placement is randomized within the arena. If monsters happen to be camping the spawn point, that is an ill fortune the allegiance teams will have to deal with.
The arena is a circle with spectators in the middle. The center area can be used to try to lose line of sight with monsters.
There are no water tiles for waterball
There's no restrictions at all regarding what monsters will be in the arena. They can be normal monsters, boss monsters, event monsters or customized monsters.
As the rounds go on, it is generally considered to increase in difficulty
GM will NOT announce what monsters will be present for a round
Monsters give full exp and items in the arena. There will be no exp loss for dying in the arena.
Using a banned skill/item in the arena will automatically count as a loss for the team.
If a team is found to be "stalling", not actually engaging against the monsters, the GM will warn that the team must engage the monsters. If the team continues to stall, GM will nuke the team and it will count as a loss.
All players may access kafra, healer, repairer in-between rounds.
Once a player has participated in a round, s/he must sit out until every other member within the same allegiance has participated in an equal amount of rounds. Only by then, can the player participate again for a round.
You must be present for all rounds of the event to get rewards.
You cannot trade items to teammates to share gears between rounds
Banker and Potato Merchant has been added to the waiting room
Members of the same allegiance may spectate the round for your allegiance. During spectator mode, you will be muted and prevented from using any skills.
You can only get the rewards on the character that you joined with

Tips

Green Potions: there is no excuse for you not to have this
Class diversity is not necessarily good. The more duplicated members of a class you have, the more likely you can afford to have someone of that class for multiple rounds.
At the same time, since the number of players allowed per round may vary, sometimes there are risks where you are stuck with no supports or no damage dealers if you have too many of the same class.
You should be prepared to at least use healing consumables in battle
Just because you have no access to trans skills, monsters will continue to use any skills under the sun
Non-trans only pvm metagame can be very different. For example, while profs are insanely powerful for both damage and support, sage is a lot more limited.
Now that trans are out of the picture, extended classes are relatively a lot more viable as options
It is strongly encouraged that you work with your fellow allegiance members to talk about team composition before the event. Each Allegiance has an unofficial discord channel: I strongly suggest you to join them and discuss your plans there.

Chronicle of Heroes ~ The Many Faces of Dreams

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 18:53:00 -0500

Everyone has dreams of a better future.

They dream of many things that they desire yet cannot acquire. Some dream of a glorious past. They dream of such things because they refuse to acknowledge that their kingdom is on a steady decline, far past their prime and lost its light. Some dream for an impossible future. They dream of such things because they refuse to face the harsh reality of the present, where their republic sits on the edge of collapse at the mercy of one conglomeration. Some dream of a different possibility. They dream of such things because they secretly lament against the divine.

In the end, people dream because they are selfish and powerless. They seek refuge in dreams where all they want are handed to them. They refuse to overcome their hardships in the real world. They ignore the truth and seek a comfortable delusion within their dreams.

Of course, even heroes have dreams.

Be it the followers of Light who enforce the law and order of the land, or the practitioners of Darkness who embrace their freedom, they dream for something that they do not possess. Their adventurous spirit to dream of "a chance encounter against an extinct creature" shall be their own undoing. When they were pushed to the edge, they united against their common foe to defeat our Master. But how will they fair against the allure of their dreams of an adventure to fight against an extinct creature? Will heroes also succumb to their dreams so easily like all the others?

The night has come. Heroes of Light and Darkness, it is time to sleep, and we await you deep within your dreams. You will pay for your insolence against our Master.

Sleep… and you shall never wake!

<><><>

Novice Werewolf event, June 25th, 2021 at 7:00PM EST

Prologue:
It has been several years since the Great Demon Satan of Morroc arose and destroyed the ill fated town of Morroc. The Demon was defeated by the heROic Rune-Midguardians and has since gone into hiding. After years of heartache for the loved ones lost in the carnage, the desert town of Morroc has since been rebuilt and has returned to a new normal. But even after several years of peace and prosperity, though the villagers have moved on, they have never forgotten about the different kinds of evil that could be waiting to erupt their lives once again.

A new unexplained phenomenon has caused panic amongst the villagers. Something strange has been happening in the night. The people are stricken with unrest as their loved ones have been going to sleep at night only to not awaken in the morning. The Continental Guard is set on high alert and has been assigned to protect certain members of the populace on a rotational system in an attempt to find the cause of this phenomenon. Despite these new assurances, the public are wary due to the uncertainty of the unknown.

Rules:

Make a new Novice and meet up with the host by the novice event registry npc and the welcome lady in the novice Training Ground. Note: Fun and anonymous character names are encouraged. Especially if you can make them fit into your roleplay elements in the event. Be creative, but please remain within the 18 character limit!
The game begins once 7 or 8 players show up. More are always welcome but the game cannot start until we have at least 7 players.
There will be a hat shop at the beginning so everyone can have something fun to wear!
Backstory will be provided at the beginning to set the tone so please be patient and respectful while the host goes over everything
Players will be told their roles individually in a Direct Message by the narrator at the beginning of the game. Please do not reveal your role to anyone! When night time comes the narrator will create a chat window with the name of the role on top that will only allow the number of people in that role to enter. Only enter the chatroom if you are in that role. Once you enter the chatroom please answer the question prompted by the narrator and then wait until you are dismissed to leave.
When the host announces night time there will be no moving, emoting, or speaking, (including in main chat, party chat, or, guild chat) or anything that could hint as to whether or not you are the role in the chat window. Anyone who breaks this rule will die. Likely in a creative fashion.
All special roles (save for the Hunter) that play a part beyond the first turn are treated as being “out of their house”, if the drunkard asks about them.
The Mayor’s vote counts as the tie breaking vote only in the event of a tie. Otherwise his vote will be counted as regular.
Killed Novices will remain in trick dead until the game is over. The dead cannot talk. Period. Dead players are however encouraged to make a party so they can try and guess who the “Werewolves” are!
If you are killed in the night please wait until the announcement is made out loud before using trick dead.
If you are hanged please wait until you are prompted to give your final words. Please keep your final words brief. No more than a few sentences.
Clues will be given to help those who remain guess what the departeds role was.
If a mayor is killed, I will PM them asking what their will contains.
Occasionally people will be given the opportunity to roleplay out their fate.

Note: This is a Roleplaying event! The more you get into character and the more effort you put into it the more fun you should get out of this game. Please be respectful to other players.There will be a shorter trial round at the beginning of the event so people can familiarize themselves with how the rules work.
