It is not possible to die at full health or for them to insta-kill or one-shot kill you. Your health cannot fall below 400hp, or you are "bitten", at which point you die and a walker spawns in your place.

Enjoying the event, bit of feedback

Spawn level needs to come down a bit would try 25%- 50% in none building areas. Reason being running from one area to the next gets you killed and typically you are fighting 5 walkers at a time.

Might be worth having the rewards as a weekly option to entice more players into the event. i think some players don't want to put a months play time into an unknown reward.

Also make the bite zone at mid health around 200 HP currently at 400 8 hits from a zombie and i'm dead

It would be nice if the chance of being bitten depended on how far below 400 you were, or something similar. Actually, I kinda thought it was like that.

That being said, it's fun.

Is this area blocked intentionally (no stairs)? It's W of the exit sparkles.

I wasn't sure about this event. But now that i've tried it, i really enjoy it as all players are equal. Ressources are not unlimited and you have to move around to get them. I've seen a lot of collaboration and yeah i die sometime be cause of heavy spawn...but i like the fact that Its realistic. If Its a example of what Touria is. Or elysium.... Count me in. Thx staff !

As I mentioned previously, if you encounter this issue - send a page. If you must log off before I'm able to assist you, escalate the page (go back to the help menu then select the option).

There's meant to be a ton of spawn on the island. It'll naturally be a bit more difficult to kill / hunt there when few other people are, but the event as a whole was meant to be challenging and full of danger. Rewards won't be made weekly, it's intended to be a cumulative event. If someone is playing just for the reward, they've missed the point entirely and I'm not particularly concerned with their desires. Regarding hitpoints - again, intended - if you let a zombie wail on you, you're gonna get bitten before long, regardless of how healthy you were before.

We wanted to handle it this way, but as the functionality stands currently there isn't a feasible way to do it. A hard number had to be chosen. I have one standing idea on how to make it chance-based but I've not been able to test it.

No, not intentional. I'll look at it later today when I have a chance :)

I'm glad you're enjoying it! We have been slowly moving our events toward more challenging tasks, this is because Elysium and Touria will both be far more challenging than players have experienced before, and we want to get folks accustomed to using their heads as part of the gameplay as much as possible before the facets open. That way they won't come as quite as much a shock :)

That's insane! I've been enjoying the event, but I'm clearly rubbish at it! 5 deaths 50 kills lol. Best weapon I've picked up so far is the metal pipe, I've seen Aryck with bow, crossbow and katana though, just yet to find them myself!
