Yeah, I here of the tombs alot, and see the awsome pictures and movies, however, nobody has cared to explain how the tombs work ~_^.

I see alot of PvP action in there, and have determined that it is PvP action followed by very difficult PvE action and then PvP action again.

I also have guessed that it is like a ladder. You hold an area of the tombs, and then get sent against the team holding the next area. If you win you hold that new area now.

However, none of this is actual fact, just speculation. Could anybody fill me in on how the tombs work?

Does it support Guild vs Guild action?

did you get the pre-order? there is a mini-strategy guide in there that tells you exactly how the tombs work. it hasnt really changed all that much since then, from what i can tell.

here is a short primer:

I am overseas with the Military >_<, and don't want to get a European version of the game. Also, with no piece of plastic I was unable to order online.

Thus >_<, I don't have a preorder.

Thanks for the link, I am checking it now.

it is very much a pvp tournament.

You form a pvp group and enter the tombs. The first level is basically a pve, defend your hero map while you are waiting to be matched with your first group. From that point on it is PvP all the way.

You progress through several different PvP maps of 2 teams, 3 teams, and 6 teams (if I'm remembering correctly) until you get to the final map, the hall of heroes where you stay and continue competing until you lose.

There are different goals for the maps, some are king of the hill type maps, others are kill the ghostly hero, capture the flag, etc...

I would love to take yoru gratitude, but, in fact, the thanks goes to my dad ~_^, not me. I just came along with him. We are not actually MIlitary, but contractors with the Military. So, though he won't go ionto combat, we do keep the soldier boys in-shape with equiptment etc.



I just finished reading the article ~_^, sounds totally sweet!

If you win, do y ou get that ugly looking "stick" thing in your off hand while in-town?
