Suggestions/Comments:

My suggestion today is that PA completes the promised update to the game mode Altar of Blood. As previously mention in a patch:

"[August 25, 2021], the Altar of Blood was temporarily suspended pending upcoming updates to the game mode."

It has nearly been two years, and the rework has not happened or been spoken about. Here are some suggestions that can help with the rework:

Wave 1-10 suggestions:

These waves are well done, but have some issues with repeatability. Every wave spawns from predetermined portals, making it very predictable and less fun. Randomized spawns of things like the catapult in wave 8 as well could mix things up and make it more interesting. Additionally, once a wave is killed, the next wave should instantly spawn. A problem with the old AOB is waiting for waves to spawn in the lower waves when you have an over geared party.

Addition of wave 11-20:

As it stands wave 10 is very easy for todays gear, therefore I suggest an addition of 10 more waves.

Wave 11 - Stars End Creatures. Designed for players with 269 AP, 320 DP.

Boss for the wave - Incarnation of Corruption from Stars End Blackstar Quest

Wave 12 - Sycraia Underwater Ruins Creatures. Designed for players with 269 AP, 320 DP.

Boss for the wave - Sycrid, the summoned boss in upper Sycraia

Wave 13 - Tunkuta Creatures. Designed for players with 273 AP, 341 DP.

Boss for the wave - Ulutuka

Wave 14 - Bloody Monestary Creatures. Designed for players with 281 AP, 341 DP.

Boss for the wave - Muskan of Madness

Wave 15 - Jade Starlight Forest Creatures. Designed for players with 281 AP, 341 DP.

Boss for the wave - Dreadwinter Guardian Erebjork

Wave 16 - Mirrowak Labyrnth Creatures. Designed for players with 285 AP, 350 DP.

Boss for the wave - Vercedes

Wave 17 - Primal Giant's Post Creatures. Designed for players with 289 AP, 360 DP.

Boss for the wave - Gehaku

Wave 18 - Troll Habitat Creatures. Designed for players with 301 AP, 370 DP.

Boss for the wave - GigaGord

Wave 19 - Ash Forest Creatures. Designed for players with 301 AP, 380 DP.

Boss for the wave - Kavali

Wave 20 - Crypt of Resting Thoughts Creatures. Designed for players with 309 AP, 401 DP.

Boss for the wave - Raz'Nal

Reward Structure:

The loot bundles per wave are a great idea that give unique items, the most important part is that the rewards are competitive with grinding. If high end players can make 1b/h grinding there should be similar rewards for spamming Alter of Blood (AOB). This is perhaps the most important section of this post and whether AOB will be a success. It is also important that there are no lockouts on this content. If players want to play repetitively, let them. This can be a fun alternative to the standard grind in a circle that we currently have which will reduce burnout of players and increase happiness.

Side Edit: The idea of a normal mode and hard mode could be really fun too if you wanted to make all waves accessible to all players. Just like Atoraxxian, have the normal mode scale up to 281AP/341DP for wave 20 which summons less mobs that do not hit as hard, and have a hard mode that is for players starting at 281AP/341DP for wave 1, scaling up to wave 20 where even the most geared players will struggle. Hard mode can summon more monsters that are harder hitting. Hard mode should be rewarded with higher tier loot bundles, just like elvia Atoraxxian.
