Riders Of Icarus Details Manastone Battles - PvP Capture-The-Flag
In the latest community post to their site, releasing with the next update later this month.
To participate in Manastone Battles, you will either need to be in a Guild Alliance (requires rank 3 guild) or the Militia. PvP is for experienced Riders, so your character will need to be level 28 or higher to enter the Exarahn Badlands. So level up, forge an Alliance and get ready for Manastone Battles; coming soon to Riders of Icarus!
Manastone Battles are scheduled events, occurring twice per week and there will be a server wide announcement when they start. The game is somewhat like capture-the-flag. A Manastone spawns at random in the Badlands, and guild alliances and militia will contest the rights to loot the Manastone. I can't help but think of the paranoid gun fights that happen over loot crates in Rust.
Once a player obtains the Manastone they're at a disadvantage: gaining a defensive debuff and becoming unable to mount, attack, or use items. Teamwork is required to get away.
If the Carrier is killed any other player can loot the Manastone, like a deadly game of tag. If a play successfully returns the Manastone to the Oracle then their team wins, opening access to a variety of rewards such as Guild-exclusive mounts.
Are you looking forward to PvPing in Manastone battles later this month? Are you playing Riders of Icarus or has another MMORPG swept you away?
