Legacy Trick or Treat

[Marine X]

Have seen quite a few posts and comments about some players being outmatched be the ToT Elite Bosses. The Halloween Events have always been my favorites and I started wondering if there might be an way to accomodate everyone's desired experience.

I wonder if it is possible to run a Legacy version of the Trick or Treat in the Echo Zones without the Elite Bosses. This would allow those who wish to work towards the Costume Badges, Defeat Badges etc. to do so without impacting the Main event.

It would provide a alternative to those that struggle with ToT as it is now and allow them to participate. Not sure it's even possible but these Zones see very little traffic and are supposed to be a Window to the Past which would fit with the differences in the Event.

     No, these players complaining about the EBs have been overwhelmingly disproven and disagreed with.  The small number of players who don't want 5x Exp EBs, new badges, 10x Prismatic Aether, and sometimes any actually engaging gameplay at all, can just hide behind the rest of us.  It's not hard to solo one of these EBs spawning at your level.

I think it'd be a good use of the echo zones honestly. I personally think there's nothing wrong with the ToT EBs, especially since they spawn at the door clickers difficulty settings. My opposition is only towards taking the EBs out of regular zones, which is not the suggestion here, so I think it would do no harm and only good.

Some people like to do things solo, this would give those people an avenue without EBs at the very least if they can't handle it.

They would be opting to miss out on the EB bonus, which is a personal choice at that point.

I'm against it just because this game is easy and the ebs are a joke. If people can't handle them, they need to learn to play instead of demanding change.

Well, before talking about legacy anything, look at the latest patch notes.

 

Halloween 2022 - Trick-or-Treat Elite Bosses

• Power availability on the Arisen Mummy and Hollow Reaper enemies has been adjusted to be better balanced when they spawn at lower levels, gaining powers at Levels 30+ and 40+ to reach their current strength, rather than having full access to all powers at all levels.

See if the others need adjusting or if this handles the folks having issues pretty well already.

I'm hoping that the latest patch is sufficient to please most folks and make your suggestion unnecessary but I love the concept! As you said, those zones are a window to the past, it's almost poetic to have the old version of tot implemented there!

No. Learn the easy game's systems and how to actually interact with them; it is NOT at all difficult to deal with the things you're complaining about.

Running away is still an option, and you have a fairly good window to see what will spawn and make your get-away as needed.

[Shin Magmus]

Bravely running away!

Not complaining or trying to tell anyone how to play, just making a suggestion that might be welcomed by some, without affecting anyone else, unless of course ToTing in the Echo Zones is your go to. Frankly, this already exists because all the Echo Zones except the Rikti Crash Site are below 25 ( not sure how DA works at 21-29 ), so no fully powered EBs anyway.
