For our final week of the current playtest, we are shifting full focus to PvP; the core gameplay loop of Helrift. We want to push these systems hard, with many players and as few barriers as possible.
Changes for PvP week:
Max level available to all players. No XP grind.
A new mystery merchant selling powerful items at low prices.
Cheap equipment repairs to keep fights going.
New, previously unseen boss monsters.
Become a legend; player titles earned through PvP combat.
Earn your Hero Armour, unlocked only by killing enemy town players.
Respawn closer to PvP area.
We encourage you to:
Test PvP balance and combat flow
Experiment with builds and equipment
Fight often and report what doesn’t feel right or what breaks
Reminder: The North Island on Wayfarers' Rest, over the bridge, is PvP Zone.
The playtest will close to new joiners on Friday 09 January, and the playtest finishes on Friday 16 January.
