[Peter_Munk 770]

 
Warriors of Arinar!

The time of a long awaited update Warspear Online 6.1 "Power of Relics" has come. Owners of devices with Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows, OS X and Linux - get ready to experience the power of ancient relics and the might of Chaos! This update brings new expert skills, changes of the existing ones, new dynamic events on Irselnort, altered aggression system, as well as relics that will change everything you knew about classes in our game. Read more to learn everything about this major update!

Before the beginning of time, there was nothing, only the boundless Ocean and primordial Chaos. The White Wanderer banished the darkness with his Light and raised the ground from the bottom of the Ocean, and later it became Arinar. However, the smallest bit of Chaos still remained in Arinar. It tried to break away from this alien world, but failed.

This bit of Chaos grew, little by little, like a tiny wormhole. Hidden, it had been slowly devouring Arinar from within, and then it started bringing hideous creatures into the world. All their existence had a single goal - to find a way beyond the circles of the world.

Out of all great magicians living in Arinar only Berengar could take control over the forces of Chaos and imprison them in the depths of Earth under Irselnort. But then Berengar disappeared. Over the past centuries, the protection charms have been gradually becoming weak, until they finally vanished. Now the forces of Chaos will try to break out of its jail once again, threatening all living creatures. Who will stand in their way this time?

Chaos Invasion
 
   

Forces of Chaos have awaken on Irselnort and all warriors have a chance to fight the ancient evil and get precious rewards. Chaos Invasion may start at each moment and it starts only after a certain number of the warriors of enemy Alliance are killed. The event consists of three "attacking" stages.

Berengar's Pylons/Rune stones
 
   

The pylon appears in one of the five sections on the enemy territory; they are marked with red color on the map. The aim of the attacking Alliance is to find and touch it, and after that powerful monster Morlock appears in one of their camps. To win in this stage you should activate all five pylons and kill all five monster during a certain time period. The aim of the defending Alliance is not to let the enemy activate these pylons. If the attacking Alliance fails, then the roles are changed and the other Alliance starts attacking.  

Ritual hunt
 
 

Now, the aim of the attacking Alliance is to get to the squad of Chaos warriors that appeared on the side of the enemy Alliance and to kill one of the warriors, Supreme Huntsman. The defending Alliance has to prevent enemy from doing it during a certain time period. If the attacking Alliance succeeds, then the third stage of the event begins. If it fails, then the Berengar's Pylons stage starts again.

Last trial
 


Ancient monster Nab-Shiggurat appears near Nadir-Sard along with guards, the half of which will be allied with your Alliance. The aim of the winner of the previous stage is to kill enemy guards, defend allied ones and beat the main boss during a certain time period. It is quite important to kill enemy guards, because it opens a portal with allied NPC that will help during the fight.

Rewards

Everyone who was present in the area of the final battle for at least 30 second gets the rewards for participating in Chaos Invasion.Every player starting from level 2 may get useful effects "Power of Unity" and "Power of Knowledge" that increase the number of Guild Points and Experience Points by 30% during 12 hours.

Starting from level 14 you also get Nab-Shiggurat's Chest that may contain:
- Beholder's costume (yep, this unique costume)
- common enhancing relics (18 types!)
- Seeker's stamina elixir
- Unity signs
- minions
- gold

Improvements and hotfixes

Skills that use character's health. Now using such skills will not interrupt movement.

Retaliation runes. Damage received after attacking enemy with retaliation runes doesn't interrupt movement any more.

Chaos potion. Now, during the fight if you are under Chaos potion, there are the same rules as for the usual fight in PvP areas. It concerns aggression levels and the ability (or unability) to use certain skills or to change equipment during the fight.

Highlighting game window on the taskbar. PC users gather around! If you entered Arena while your game window was minimized - it will start blinking so you won't miss it.

The crystal with magical damage for double-handed mace was added to the Miracle Shop.

This is it for now, see you in the game!

[Gladiator 1170]

Do all AoE skills now have limits for PvP only? Or only the skills mentioned above? For example, Fetters of justice used to have limits to PvE as well, now it won't have target limits ?
