Event: Skirmish for Rewards!

Skirmishes are your ticket to rewards and intense action across diverse playing fields. With Goblinball and Summerhold added in Patch 3.0.5, that brings the total number of skirmishes up to 6 skirmishes! It’s time to put your skills to the test and skirmish for rewards!

From now until Monday November 26th, you must complete EACH skirmish for a chance to win bonus rewards beyond the rewards that skirmishes offer upon completion. It doesn’t matter how your performance is in each skirmish; you just need to complete them.

Rules:
• To confirm completion of each skirmish, you must take a screenshot of the results page that shows up at the end of each skirmish.
*Please know that Summerhold doesn’t have a results window so you’ll need to take a screenshot when the “Combat Has Ended” message appears.
*Since the results page doesn't naturally pop up at the end of June Catacombs, it'll be fine if you just post a screenshot of your character when it's in the last room of June Catacombs. We'll be checking that it says "Inner Room" in the top-right corner of your character's interface.

• Reply to this forum event thread by November 26th with a post that includes each of the 6 skirmish screenshots. Just create one post as your official entry and edit in each screenshot as you complete each screenshot within your post.
• Include your character name and server when posting your screenshots.
• One character per account is allowed to enter this event. You must use the same character for each skirmish.
• Due to the level requirements of some skirmishes, this event is designed for Level 51 characters.

*We posted an update for an adjustment of the event requirements for Avilon server. Thread can be found here:
viewtopic.php?f=73&t=60681&sid=b2rnvdn4ee2q910ecloqtl0cq1


Prizes:
On November 27th, we will host a raffle of everyone who submits a screenshot of their character completing each skirmish and award raffle winners with 600 Premium Crystals!
*The more participants in this event, the more raffle winners we will choose.

In addition, one grand prize raffle winner will win their choice of the June Dreadnaught, Overlord’s Dreadnaught, or Overlord’s Aegis!

On your mark, get set, skirmish!

Is skirmish attendance really that low that something like this is necessary? O.o

Also in case anyone asks, we'll host separate raffles for Yul and Avilon.

Last time we did an event like this was for Arena of Death because we wanted more people to participate in that skirmish.

For this event, we just want to offer people a chance at winning free stuff.

AoD and Witch's Hollow will not pop for Avilon for another 3+ months. Good luck Yul. :roll:

There are enough end-game players to make both pop on Avilon.

The only skirmishes that pop lately are Summerhold, Goblinball, and sometimes JC. Any player can tell you guys that AoD and witchs hollow haven't popped, maybe once WH but that's pretty much it.

That's why I gave a suggestion to limit the numbers of players needed to pop those 2 skirmishes for Avilon until population stabilizes. But I guess we'll see if it does pop. ;)

AOD pops at certain times if there are enough in the queue. So, maybe a player, or group of players, should organize days/times for people to queue so they will pop.

What some people have done in the past is create a thread in their server's forum section and organized set times for people to queue up for skirmishes. This may help organize skirmishes especially for this event.

Also with the prize incentive that this event offers, more people should queue up than usual.

I dont usually come on here but I do alot of skirms, Should I be self conscious about the size of my screen shot? or is it alright if I take up a page with screen shots? :D :D
