Arena at the Edge of Time: Frostval Legends!
Hey there, heroes!

This month's Arena at the Edge of Time is here! The Frostval Legends board has appeared, and it's a festive one!


The first challenge on this new board is the Theater of Frost! Right out of a mysterious Frostval legend, the Frost Moon Harvester and Shining Blade of Frostval are here to do battle! But it seems like something's not quite right... Are these really the entities of legend? Or is it all just an act?

The Frostval Legends board will be updated infrequently, but will also star some of the past foes you've faced in Frostval stories! (Not including this month, of course)

If you can defeat both foes in the Theater of Frost, you'll earn yourself a new cape, not only perfect for PumpkinLords, but also acts as a Customization Catlyst, unlocking the Frost customization for PumpkinLord and Evolved PumpkinLord!

Head over to the Inn at the Edge of Time to face this week's new challenge!


Also this week, December seasonal specials have returned!


New this month, the Frosted Death Helm is available for 300 Dragon Coins! Check it out in the Book of Lore!


Minor Evolved PumpkinLord update:
  • The Empowered Cleaving Thorn and Bramble Shield animations have been updated.

And that's all for this week!


It is pretty clear that things are reaching a tipping point between the devs and the playerbase. So, before anyone dares make this thread an extension of those "discussions", let this be your challenge: contemplate instead of being swayed by influencer mindsets. Not to shut you fellow players down, but to detox on your urges for instantaneous gratification or your sense of being special in your contributions to spread the game of DragonFable. If twice should be enough for wise men, then two threads should be enough for you to invest energy in your frustrations and restlessness. If you're just going to use this thread to rehash your dissent, then maybe it is time that you instead consider playing quietly instead of wasting energy on a borderline broken record, or to broaden your horizons outside this game.

In my case? I've already reaffirmed my resolve to continue to believe in the devs, no matter the long game needed.

Did the Frost Moon Harvester get custom animations? It has some stuff I don't recognize (like the snowball attack where it does a fake Spirit Bomb). Hope Sling Thorns gets replaced with whatever other move, and maybe we could get that as our animation.

Also it is incredibly insulting and cowardly to try and shut down players for (understandably) growing impatient and tired, while making weird insulting remarks towards "endgamers". If you can't post Design Notes in the forums without seething, then maybe you should leave it to someone else.

 Anyways, while the start of this board does not have the classic Frostval villains we have dealt with and have yet to see, an indication of things to come in the same way that Duskbolt and E have for the classes they represented. Might as well find some time to acquire Frost Moglin's Artifacts. Could use a bit of a diffuser to dojoing AARGH.

Although it is odd that this multiversal piece of legend is trying to tie two seasonal events that was only done once before. When the Cultists decided to summon Croft off-season. Well, seen weirder stuff, and the awareness of a multiverse does tend to make things all the more bizarre.

Finally got around to beating this - I was dead set on using death knight for the light/dark resist but the skill timings really don't line up well. Won it in the end though, and it wasn't frustrating at all with some extra potions. The visuals were definitely the highlight, especially with the new EPL custom. I'm glad the bosses were given some unique animations too, was not expecting the Shining Blade to pull out a laser on me.

Also, I'm with Laeon here, the last thread eventually devolved into random insults at the devs and it was just uncomfortable to read. Good constructive criticism is not just precise, but also impersonal.

Side note, in the small chance this does end up being a hint at a future Moglin class revamp, I'm really gonna regret being too lazy to train that class for all my characters.
