Hi there everyone.

It's a time of rebirth. Of Spring! A new holiday has been implemented by the Monks and Sisters of the Cathedral of Ways. Eggs have been scattered in all but the smallest realms with baskets handed out to everyone to collect them. Yay! Fun!

An unpleasant Mage has see all this "fun" and decided he hates it. And if he hates it, he has to ruin it for everyone! He's conjured up Shadow Bunnies to steal the eggs and generally get in the way!

The Warriors of the Realms must gather together to collect all the eggs and duff up any of the Shadow Bunnies who get in between you and the eggs!

A Springtime Druid awaits you in the Springtime Forest (off the Mountain Path) with a new quest : Shadow Bunny Assault! (STF) This will earn you the Magical Egg Collecting Basket

Easter Egg (Level 25)
3840094735ce3db4726f9659cdd2ca59b487.jpg

All over the Realms, a holiday is being celebrated. The citizens are tasked with finding the colourful eggs that have been strewn around the country. All participants have to have a magic basket which they put the eggs into and they return to the Cathedral of Ways for counting. Good, clean fun!

Shadow Bunny (Level 25)
38411e5ac5da40256cffe21588bfd454aa63.jpg

Good fun until someone has to spoil it! An unpleasant Mage has decided that these "Fun" activities must be stopped. To that end, he has conjured up twisted, evil Shadow Bunnies that are immune to normal weapons! They are running around the Realms trying to steal the colourful eggs! They must be stopped!

The latest Global Event in Fallen Sword is now underway! In the Event, the Community must work together to gather the Eggs scattering the realms while beating up the Shadow Bunnies.

Each player must earn a personal target for increasingly bountiful Easter Baskets (mouse over the event info on the World page for more details) while also helping the Community to attain the best total kills possible, unlocking the rewards for all.

The Event shall be live until 14:30 hours Server Time 21st April 2015.

For each tier that the community completes the reward will be as follows:

Bronze:1 x Simple Easter Basket
Silver:1 x Average Easter Basket
Gold:2 x Modest Easter Basket
Crystal:2 x Fantastic Easter Basket
Ruby: 3 x Extravagant Easter Basket

If you qualified, the reward(s) will be delivered to your mailbox shortly after the event ends. Note that you get the reward for the tier that you have qualified for, for example if the community unlocks Gold, but you qualify for Silver, you will receive 1 x Average Easter Basket. You don't receive the rewards from lower tiers, only the tier you have qualified for.

Also if you are placed within the top 100 event contributors you will receive 2 additional Extravagant Easter Baskets.

Gullinkambi is a terror to behold. This monster is said to have been sent by the very gods themselves to punish mortals and its appearance signifies great doom upon the world.

Sir Vakalem was once one of the greatest yet controversial members of the Radiant Paladins of Karthak and a true warrior against Darkness. He believed that the best way to fight evil was to turn the weapons of the most powerful foes of the Order against themselves.

To this day he is hunted by the very order he once belonged to who wish to bring this blemish on their order to an end.

Yikes! 

 

The same 17.5 million kills goal except now we have to go to the CoW and LEs have spawned? 

I'm not complaining about the event, I like the theme and revitalization, but adding in another step (even something as minimal as teleporting back) will be enough to stop a small group of players from partaking. Maybe not a big population, but enough that combined with previous results and combined with legendaries spawning will make 17.5 million very difficult to achieve. 

 

Please consider lowering the 17.5 million goal.

Specifically in regards to the fact that LE's have spawned, which will pull many players stamina away from killing bunnies in favor of killing their respective LEs. 

 

Chris

I did not realize the eggs are counting as 5 kills for 1 stam- I think that may allow this to even out :)

Love the Shadow Bunny art!  :D Might make an awesome-looking set next year. ;) Or maybe just the head/ears. Like, an additional quest, where you have to go in disguise to gather the eggs, so you need a helm that looks like a Shadow Bunny.  :lol:

Hahaha! This global is awesome! Great job with the art too! That is no ordinary rabbit! You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared! However the Monks and Sisters of the Cathedral of Ways took 11 days after Easter to announce the festivities but I guess it is understandable since the unpleasant Mage wants everyone to be miserable like himself. Cheers!

They'll be around while the Global is active.

Already fixed!

Quite you ? LOL *passes over a dictionary ... *

Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

I've killed 50 of each global critter with no buffs and haven't gotten any frag drops, though a guildmate did get one at one point. Since the creatures aren't in the UFSG yet, will the Cows (or someone else with some empirical evidence) please post the drop rate? It can't be all that high.
