Survive the Land FAQ

[alexm]

Main reason for me to play events was to get a chance to craft level 77 items with reasonable effort. So that event feels somehow like wasted time for all the people that already have a high item level. Please at least increase the chance to get higher level items during that event, to not have it useless.

Most players have no idea what LotL is. This type of event will be a completely new experience for them - they won't have anything to base any comparisons on.

Как и в событиях anb, драгоценные камни распределяются между всеми героями, включая героев событий.

Sounds god. Thats what we need.

Allowing players to purchase gear from Gornathan is a major change from the original Live off the Land rules, which did not allow those purchases. If players have access to the shared gem bank from the account, some players will equip gear using gems not earned by the LOTL hero to make purchases. I have been playing around with the mechanics of using only dropped gear, and Gornathan offers much better options than most drops in the early part of the game. If you are not getting certain pieces to drop or if a gear is a much lower level, you can usually buy what is missing from Gornathan. Granted, he does not sell any set pieces, which are important for later game progress, but purchases of gear from Gornathan would make a big difference in early leveling up times.

Gold is also a limiting factor during the original LOTL, which made converting gems not earned by the LOTL hero into gold off limits. I am guessing that this will be allowed under the revised STL since those elements of the game are baked into the code.

It would be nice to clarify these things in the announcement, so players can understand that they are not being held to the original LOTL rules for this event.

This probably needs some clarification. I was assuming that Travis was talking about the three green boxes for making Rare jewelry that are part of the in game rewards for trial completion. It sounds like you are referring to the Epic gear boxes. If those are still part of the game, it does change the game significantly from the original Live off the Land, which did not allow players to use the Epic gear boxes.

Ephemeral boxes will be available during StL.

this is sad... will there be set items in the boxes to choose from? Then most players will play with these set items.... not what was expected...

Рубины сохраняться? Может стоит дать всем , например 1000 камней для начала испытания!!! Этот шаг поможет ещё больше уровнять шансы.

[Travis | Support Mgr.]

We're working on that. A new announcement requires a new build, which we're releasing as quickly as we can.

[Travis | Support Mgr.]

Ephemeral boxes will be available during StL.

[Tin Man]

Any chance to get the in-game event announcement earlier than later? Kinda stinks to only see the announcement minutes before the event begins.

Having the announcement so that players will be able to see the milestone rewards will answer many questions and allow for planning.

[Travis | Support Mgr.]

Morgan won't be available, so no jewelry fusion. I'll double check on ephemeral boxes.

[CannibaL]

Jewelry can be fused?
Ephemeral box and etc - I hope it won't?)

[Ozymandius]

Will we still be able to sell dropped gear for gold?

[LodWig]

I would like to be able to salvage material in StL, even if I can't craft. It's quicker than selling items for a few gold, and can help to achieve some of the Season Bounties. More importantly if I had only a few Marks of the Oracle I would not like to have to sale a Legacy item instead of salvaging it.

(Edit: Legacy items could be stored until the event end, and salvaged after transfer. That still is not optimal because of the "Collect 10 Mark of the Oracles" (sic) Season Bounty.)
