(NEW) Baradin's Hold

[Candyhigh]

Baradin's Hold
Baradin's Hold has been redesigned to a non-lock out free for all PvP raid.
Baradin's hold has had a change in direction with the Ethereal's now controlling the containment areas.

Baradin's Hold will be exclusive to Apexis grinding with the introduction of Apexis Dust.


This Apexis Dust will be rewarded per kill while in Baradin's Hold, in addition to available free for all boss loot and various quests within Baradin's Hold.


Apexis Dust will also be exchangeable at a higher rate to turn into Apexis Shards or Crystals.


The 3 original bosses will be under the Ethereal control but can be repelled against to gain some extra loot!

Baradin's Hold will be encased in PvE bosses with FFA mechanics with separate triggers occassionally activating an Event within Baradin's Hold. These events will vary from;

II. Randomly spawned out of rotation bosses or non-elite invaders.
III. Chests for varied loot and Baradin's Hold exclusive consumables.
IV. Bombs and traps around the floor and up against the lower parts of containment walls.
V. x 1 Quest NPC that will allow any user to have a 1 hour time schedule to complete this rare quest while in Baradin's Hold. - The quest npc in question will only be spawned at random when theses triggers pick it, it will remain available in stealth for 60 minutes until it comes back around on the selection pool.
VI. Buff related game objects for personal benefit. (Will only be active while in Baradin's Hold, teleporting or unstucking will remove these effects).


This content is still under-going development and is due to be ready by the latest of Monday 26th June 2017.
Any updates added to the list of designs already in the works will be updated in this thread at any given time. Announcements will be done in-game if or when this thread gets updated.

Feel free to comment and discuss, but please remain on topic. Going off-topic or flaming of any kind will result in lengthy account suspensions.

We look forward to releasing this project to the public. Please be aware that this is a first for Destiny for this type of content so is open to change and restrictions to ensure fair game play and equal opportunity.

Hey, to be honest, it seem really good and I'd like to be there !
Also, i'd like to suggest something... Since that's a PVP Area with bosses, why not adding a quest which require to kill each bosses five time and then the quest rewards would be a chest that contain a random part of gear with Apexis Dust aswell...

Quest example:

Eradicate the Jailers.

"Hello <name> you've proven your value many tome... The tome has finally come for you to make your dreams into reality, kill the enslaved creatures that are controlled by the Etherals in order to get the Baradin's Hold back under control.
You may get attacked and trapped by many things, so be careful !"

Rewards :
[Cataclysmic Chest of Value]
"May contain a random piece of gear"

[Apexis Dust]
"WoWMortal Currency"


Objectives:

0/5 Argaloth slain
0/5 Occu'thar slain
0/5 Alizabal slain
0/50 players slain

Click boss name on "Objectives" to get more informations!

Rewards :
[Cataclysmic Chest of Value]
"May contain a random piece of gear"

I like the idea of a difficult weekly quest rewarding players with a box which has a small chance of containing a piece of gear, similar to the World Quests in Legion. The items themselves can have a small percentage drop rate in the box and can be useful or useless depending on the players specialization.

Full support.

Further update on details.
This list is still not complete, but filling in more blanks as days go by and the content is worked on.

Loot Information
Bosses
Souls, Spirit Shards, Apexis Dust and Shards, in addition to any relative quest items (if any), and rare low % value transmogrifications only available in Baradin's Hold.


Invaders
Potentially each invaders death will offer Souls, or Apexis Dust - This has not yet been decided.


Quests
Listed in order of progress.
1. Welcome to Baradin's Hold.
2. Apexis Dust
Occu'thar
Argaloth
Alizabal, Mistress of Hate
Trigger Quests
Eliminating Mike Mysers - this will be related to Personal Improvement's event.
Glorious - This will be related to Glorious Chests's event.


General Boss Information
All 3 bosses will be scripted to their original spells and text setups with the additional of some AoE spells and actions to ensure that the free for all containment setup can allow the boss to ensure that all players or invaders in the containment will be effected by the bosses actions.

You can find the basic boss mechanics on youtube or wowhead.


Trigger Information
As written in the original post above, the trigger will activate scripted events on a scheduled timer of 3 hours (Open to change before release) but picking events at random from a pool selection.


Events and their information will include:
Personal Improvement:
A spawned stealthed quest giver spawned in 1 of 12 potential spots per event selection which provides 1 single quest with unusually high rewards that can be done once per day, even if the event triggers more than once throgh a day.
This quest will include the requirement of an amount of Apexis Dust a long side items which will be obtainable through bosses and exchange quests at other Ethereal npcs.
The stealthed npc will remain stealthed for 1 hour at which will then be forced to disapear. This will not allow the trigger to activate the next scripted event pool.


Glorious Chests
This event will be purely chest related. It will spawn a large chest in all 3 containers at the far back behind each containers boss.
These chests will have varied opening times to ensure that it allows for people to fight over these chests, similiary to Gurubashi.
The chests will be exclusive to transmogrifications, currencies for Baradin's Hold and the Ethereals, including some miscellaneous items.
A side bonus to each chest, if you are the player to loot the chest, it will reward you with a 30 minute champion's buff! (This buff will be separate to the buff related triggered event).


Buffs Galore!
Healing buffs, damage buffs, damage reduction buffs, AoE aura buffs will be spawned in mass quantity around all floors and lower walls in Baradin's Hold. These like the bomb event will be invisible so you cannot seek out any singular buff at any given time, and each buff will be invisible to ensure that specific buffs that are considered better cannot be just picked up over other buffs and effects.


Destruction in Baradin's Hold
This event will trigger varied non-elite invaders around Baradin's Hold and its containment areas.
Once non-elite invaders have been triggers they will patrol small areas from their original spawn location in any section.
These will be hostile to every player and have the potential to start fights with the Ethereals to whom you are there to protect and help. Under no circumstances should you let these invaders kill your Ethereal kind.
If an Ethereal npc dies within a limited distance from your character, this will be designed to give you a reduction in up to 25% of all stats.

(Please note, loot has not been designed for these invaders yet but may include soul loot upon release).

I. Apexis Crystal
II. Apexis Shard
III. Apexis Dust


Apexis Crystal - Used as a resource currency for;

I have setup all the necessary data for our first custom scheduled server-side Baradin's Hold Event.
This will be activated in the way you would have experienced the Booty Bay Fishing Event, however tomorrows testing is purely for staff purposes to ensure things go smoothly before progressing forward.

Testing will proceed between the realm hours of 6:00 and 18:00.
This test should also include a broadcast saying it is now active, which may occur at 6:00 but that is not a definite.

[Candyhigh]

Delusional Conspiracy Theory:
This will include bombs, more bombs, even more bombs, traps and even more traps. These traps and bombs will vary from effects from simple things like temporary freezes, stuns, incapacitates, aoe damage, and single target damage.


All related traps will be invisible which means none of them will be noticable to players and VIP and will trigger once stepped on.
This Event has been taken out of rotation.

We're looking alternatives to this event, if it in-fact gets replaced. We will still have the remaining 4 events activating through Baradin's Hold.

[Zizarus]

Awesome! Pretty excited for some more new content.

[Candyhigh]

Release Date has been pushed from Monday 3rd.

The new release date is up to - 10.07.2017 due to some further internal testing of events is required.

[SuperZombie]

We are waitng 10.07.2017 BH comes again

[Candyhigh]

Events have been tested and I am satisfied to where they now stand and how the rotation works.

I will be concluding Baradin's Hold development period today with tests to the 3 main bosses, and the quick touch-up of the questing series.

Players may be asked to help test bosses in an FFA manor during today, and Baradin's Hold should be live before midnight tonight.
Thank you for your patience on this piece of content and we're happy to get the release going.
