[New Zone] Wonderland

[Sparkle]

We are glad to welcome you in a new custom zone of ArcheRage world – Wonderland.
Zone opens on 3/29/2022 after the server maintenance. Visit it to take part in a new custom event (event details will be posted separately)!

Wonderland opens its doors for events, festivals, quests and various other activities.
(P.S. Zone is still partially in development but we’ll slowly add new content to it)

A little bit about this zone:
Rumor had it, that opening the doors of forgotten Ayanad Library would not bode well. Someone, on the contrary, considered this event the opening of new horizons, the expansion of the boundaries of knowledge. It is foolish to deny only one fact – what happened changed the course of history.
Rob – Crimson Watch cadet, changed everything, when, during a night patrol around Ayanad Ruins, he decided to pick up one of the many books out of boredom. “Boundless Oblivion” – the letters worn from time said. In ancient times, thanks to this ancient book, thousands of people could simultaneously see the same dream, the same place. Curious Rob took this book to the mages. And so, for the first time in a long time, the gates to the Wonderland, the Abode of Dreams, were opened. This zone, full of wonders and mysteries, is simultaneously nowhere and everywhere, yesterday and today, because it exists only as long as someone dreams of it. It's time to write a new story.
The Wonderland is reopened, welcome heroes!

To reach the Wonderland use one of the special portals located in Austera, Marianople and Diamond Shores.

Wonderland is waiting for you!​

[Aviendha]

Hi hi,

Why did this get added in this manner?

One of the important items you can obtain in Wonderland Store is a Wonderland Master Book. It can be obtained for 28 coins and lasts for 7 days. It provides you with a special buff that can be used only in Wonderland. Make sure to reactivate buff when you return to Wonderland, as it will be removed once you leave it.

I figure it's supposed to be a special thing, but if you invest in that book you use all the tokens you earned in a week, it doesn't make any sense to me? Meanwhile peeps are locked out from the fun race event? We have to choose to get rewards from wonderland coins or to participate in the race for some rng loot box...

I know it's all permanent but at this rate peeps might consider using the book months from now after they grinded a few coin rewards they wanted, seeing as we can only get 4 coins a day. Technically 5 but only after you wasted 28 coins on the book, aka not really worth it.

If one buys the book weekly, you effectively only earn 7 coins per week instead of 28. Example: Almost 2 months to collect the shard collector's chest, or nearly 7 weeks for a skin crate. Yes the game is a grind but the way the book got implement makes the grind a bit too much if you ask me.

What do other people think regarding this? Is it worth it to you?

 

[nemnem]

I understand what they're trying to accomplish-- players have the choice of a guaranteed, static prize pool OR they can RNG for the super high end fancy stuff like entire cars or mounts or pets etc. But I agree the balance is way off.

For me, the flashing red light is the amount of time that it will take each day to get the 4 coins. Then repeat that every single day. Just to get the bare minimum to afford the book. Then repeat that every week? I dont see this being a commitment people are willing to make once the novelty wears off.

Suggestions to make it more appealing (pick your favorite, or pick more than one if you really love us):
Decrease the amount of time needed to complete the dailies. It was already a little too long during the zone introduction event, and now the quests have more than doubled in time and what is required of them? This is bad. It should take less time than during the intro event. Id say aim for about 5-10 minutes total for the 3 basic quests (mining, wine, and fishing) and then the boss fight, whose length I assume will depend on how many ppl show up.

Decrease the cost of the Wonderland Master Book to lower the entry bar so more people can participate. Perhaps consider making it the cost of 3-4 days worth of the dailies, so people can miss a day or a quest here and there and still get the book.

Double the bonus coins that are received from daily quests when the Wonderland Master Book is active. If nothing else were to change, only this, it would mean one week of big time grind to get the book started, but after that, the player could keep the book buff active while trading off whether they wanted days off from the dailies, or invest in some of the static prizes, or even bank some extra coins for when they don't have as much time but still want to be able to get the book buff.


oh, and of course, to show a little timezone love, I'd like to request a weekday and/or daytime spawn of the Wonderland Treasure chest.

 

[Giantpanda]

Difficult task

 

[Zing™]

Instead of selling a 7 day book that costs a full 7 days of rewards (I honestly wonder sometimes...) why not sell individual tickets to those gated events? A ticket to the gated events can cost 1-2 coins each. The effect is the same more or less, but people can start doing events immediately, and if they only want to try them as and when, they aren't locked into wasting their entire week's allocation of rewards. Seem more sensible?

I'd also suggest reverting the changes to the basic quests - the originals from the Wonderland introduction event were lighter and quicker than they are now. They're supposed to be fluffy makework, not a more punitive grind. It's a *game* after all, and I'm pretty sure games are meant to be fun. We have enough grindy dailies and weeklies without adding more pain.

 

[Aviendha]

On another note, one of the exploration spots won't trigger for me, instead it keeps teleporting me across the map. Working as intended?

Edit: I transformed in the bigger version of myself and it didn't tp me again. It seems I was too short.

 

[Doujin]

The boss only dropping 1 crate for a random person with the quest and 1 token for everyone else doesn't seem worth it, especially when the cannons take a ton of steel ammo. I also saw a few people just spawning their galleons instead since the clippers controlled so poorly. Maybe if you attend the boss you get a 1h ticket to the races since the race spawns right after? It would make the otherwise DOA content boss have a purpose other then a stressful and disappointing loot pinata.

 

[Lionstone]

The quest rewards obtained from this "permanent event zone", is just like any of the other "temporary events", literal garbage. The concept for the quests are okay, but why would someone come in this zone at the end of the day and decide to spend time here if all the rewards are so miniscule and a waste of time?

 

[Sparkle]

Thank you for feedbacks. We will consider.

Agree, too much time invested killing that for nothing tbh

 

[nemnem]

Imagine the odds of the same person getting the treasure 2 days in a row. Almost like its not random so much as its going to the first person in a raid frame, like rotate winner, which means there's 0 reason to go if you're not raid lead.

Also, any way to eliminate collision with other boats? A certain guild spent most (if not all) of the boss fight griefing other boats, intentionally crashing with them to push them out of position or break them.

 

[Doujin]

While we're at it can we lower the number of kegs required to 5 instead of 15? They spawn a lot further away then the last wonderland event.

 

[Starrylove]

The amounts on everyone one of the 3 quest have been doubled with no increase in rewards, seems kind of useless to me. I have been at the boss fight the 2 days that nemnem is talking about and yes the "random" drop went to the same person. I don't know about raid lead cause there are 2 different factions out there and they cant group in the same raid so if that is how the "random" drop is happening then we are really out of luck. Many that I know are or have called it quits on this event cause there really isn't anything worth putting that much time into. Sorry I like going in there but more work than it is worth.

 

[Aviendha]

@Sparkle I have a question regarding the exploration achievements.

This one did not count towards the total amount completed, so while we have 13 spots registered, the total achievement still says 12/13.

Is this intended? Is there another spot out there? Or are we wasting our time because it's bugged?

That one is not supposed to exist. There is another one out there that will complete the group.

As Num said. It's the general one that opens automatically when you complete left and right eye. You'll need to find one more.

Thank you for confirming
