[-Gambit 0]

I don't know about you guys, but I havent been to hb usa for a while. Had a look at the site & forums yesterday and found that they had gotten some really cool new updates.

 

 

EK and contri exchange:

 

If hunting monsters isn't really your thing and killing people in game is, there is now another way to upgrade your items. This time it's using your Enemy Kill (EK) points and Contribution Points!
When you claim the items, they will be bound to your character so that only you can use them. Just like your hero items.

Note: When upgrading your items, they will loose any previous upgrades obtained by Xelima or Merien Stones.

You can now upgrade your armor and your weapons!

Scav hunt. [ links to upgradeable items etc:

 

link1: http://www.helbreathusa.com/events-tokenEx...Scav-Tokens.php

link2: http://www.helbreathusa.com/events-tokenEx...-Exchange01.php

link3: http://www.helbreathusa.com/events-tokenEx...-Exchange02.php ]

 

     

It's back!

There are a few changes with the scavenger hunts this time. In order to claim any upgrades you need to have Scav Tokens. You can get Scav Tokens by exchanging the correct parts with a Game Master.

This time round you can only exchange in "full", for example 100 Werewolf Leathers would get you 1 Gold Scav Token. Trying to exchange 58 Werewolf Claws would get you nothing.

Also, you can only upgrade the item if it is equal to the existing main stats percent or higher than.

This means that your 7% PR Chain cn be side graded to 7% HP with the corrisponding items, it cant be made in to a 49% HP Chain.

While your 56% PR Chain can be decreased to 49% HP with the corrisponding tokens. 

 

 

Portal tokens [ link to portal tokens quests: http://www.helbreathusa.com/quest-list.php ]:

 

     

Specific monsters in Abaddon now qualify for quests that give you Portal Tokens as a reward. These tokens can be used to trade in for unique items. Both the items and tokens are tradable.

Below is a list of items and the current exchange rate for Portal Tokens. Please note, the Portal Tokens are only obtained as a quest reward. Make sure you're on the quest prior to leaving to go on a hunt. See here for a list of Portal Token Quests.

Anyways, this is what I found. I think these updates are absolutely AWESOME and benefit the game in many ways:

 

1) This would grant pvpers a lot more to do with their eks then just collect them to stay in top ek list.

2) Having alternative ways to get rares would probably enliven the pvp a lot.

3) Im almost certain that applying this kind of huge update would get us new players and maby even a few old ones back.

 

I know this kind of updates are a LOT of work etc, but I really think this should be considered. What do you guys think?

Everyone can go to their site and read all this....we'd rather not have it posted on our forums.

 

Hope you understand...thanks
