Zombie Attack!

Notice:

Zombie Attack! is an event that will run occasionally, but not all the time, beginning early November 2012. Please watch maintenance notices for details of when the event is turned on and off.

 

The Zombie Attack! event is not like other campaigns: it does not reward Marks of the King or Marks of the Lord, and it runs on a separate timer and notification system.

Zombies are spreading their disease by biting civilians around town. Behind it all is Alestina the Zombie Shaman, who seeks to gain power by impressing Shilen with her dark arts. Imbuing willing adventurers with her magic, she has given them the ability to spread her gift of pestilence. In Alestina’s path stands Seira the Exorcist, who has long been an opposing force to the Zombie Shaman. Spreading her gift to adventurers who stand to defend the town, she has erected the Guardian Crystal in the town to suppress the disease.

Process

In this event zombies will invade some towns for a certain period of time. You can choose to fight against the zombies, or to become a zombie yourself and spread the infection. Zombies must infect humans in order to increase their numbers, while humans must cure infected humans and attack zombies to slow the spread of the disease. (By “Human” we really mean all the six character races; you play as yourself unless you become a zombie.)

  • The event starts randomly but it can happen up to 8 times per day, with increased chance of occurring during peak hours. It is announced with on-screen notification 30 minutes before it starts.
  • The event takes place in one of these towns at random: Aden, Rune, Talking Island Village, or Gludio. The two event NPCs (Alestina and Seira) spawn in each of the towns. A Guardian Crystal will spawn near Seira in the center of the town that will be attacked.
  • You will see a notification icon appear, similar to a regular campaign notification. Click on the icon to be signed up, teleported to the event location, and given event items. When you are signed-up you are randomly assigned to one of the two factions. If you’re assigned to be a human defender you are teleported to the center of town where the Guardian Crystal is. If you’re assigned to be a zombie attacker you are teleported to the town entrance where the zombies spawn.
  • Zombies spawn at the entrance(s) to the town and wander inwards to infect characters and NPCs, and attempt to destroy the Guardian Crystal. If a player character is infected they could turn into a zombie if they’re not cured. If a NPC, for example a Grocer NPC, is infected, they do not transform and join the horde, but they are under an infection debuff.
  • Use the Consecrated Demon Eliminator event item to purify zombies. Use the Nevit’s Holy Water Flask event item to cure infected humans.
  • Towards the end of the event, the Festering Zombie Lord boss monster spawns with the other zombies and enters the town to wreak havoc on player characters and to try to destroy the Guardian Crystal.
  • The event ends when one of the following conditions happens:
    • The maximum event score is reached. (You can watch this in the event progress interface window on-screen.)
    • The Guardian Crystal is destroyed.
    • 30 minutes pass without reaching neither the maximum score nor the Guardian Crystal being destroyed.
  • When the event is over all characters and town NPCs are de-zombified and zombie monsters are removed.

These zombies are NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) run by the game.

This is what a player character looks like when they are transformed as a zombie.

He spawns in the last 10 minutes, or when the score reaches the final 10% before completion. He focuses only on attacking player characters and the Guardian Crystal (he does not attack NPCs).

Skill: Zombie Bite: Debuff that creates a zombie after 2 minutes if left uncured. This can be used on player characters as well as NPCs. If a human is bitten by a zombie they must be cured within 2 minutes or else he or she will turn into a zombie. If you become a zombie, your score as a human will be reset and you must start accumulating points anew as a zombie.

Skill: Zombie Leap: Dash skill. Zombies may be slow, but they can move fast when it counts!

Skill: Zombie King’s Festering Storm: AoE debuff that decreases Spd.

Skill: Weaken Crystal: Decreases the Guardian Crystal’s HP by 5%.

Skill: Zombie Hide: Hide skill
