Bring Back the DvL event and add it to the round

Easy thing,

Bring Back the DvL event AS IT WAS and add it to the round with the others

You bring so many canceled (supposed things and items) why not and that ?

Because *as it was*, it would make no sense in the "for just one week" format:

* It was necessary to create and level new characters to participate.

* It included no content / achievements for KotET and beyond because it predated them.

* It assumed that max level was 65, which was appropriate for that point in the game's life, but is not appropriate now.

* Probably other bits and pieces that I have overlooked, but primarily those things above.

 

That doesn't mean that they couldn't release a new event that would be a post-JUS equivalent of the pre-KotET DvL event(1), but it wouldn't *be* the original DvL event in its original form.

 

(1) There's a good case to be made for such an event, but, just as DvL was a one-off to get us warmed up for KotET/5.0, the new one should be a one-off to get us warmed up for Onslaught/6.0.

 

Or it should be a new thing to slot into the approximately monthly one-week event rotation, but in that case, even if there's a DvL theme, it wouldn't *be* the DvL event. And of course the one-week rotation is getting pretty busy, so it would be a pretty good idea for them to solve the problem of running two different one-week events at the same time. (Example: Gree and Rak use the same terminals for access, so they would need to be modified to run together, while either of them can run concurrently with BBA because BBA uses the carbonite dudes instead of the terminals.)

As I read the OP, the main desire is to bring back the DvL gear, and enable those who didn't get the complete set to do so now. Not a new set with the same or similar XP bonus, but the same set.

 

I am two pieces short on that set myself, because I chose not to do the content for those pieces. I would like a bit of rotation on content types to get the pieces, especially if it became a recurring event. Heck, tie a revised DvL into the new "play your way" philosophy so that you can get the pieces from the content of your preference.

 

Those who got the set the old way have already enjoyed the benefits of doing so. I have enjoyed the benefits of the incomplete set I have. We would lose none of what we have already enjoyed if the gear were brought back and made available under "play your way".

Bring it back...

 

As someone who did it, I won't do it again. If set up the same way, all classes are done. The DvL was incentive to complete those last two pesky classes that escaped me for years.

 

If players want the pain of it, and as I just came from the bring back Ranos thread, and I think the only fair way to bring her back would be to bring back the event.
