Nordic Rumble

Shouldn't a 20 day event have an announcement and FAQ?

 

Hello there Pirate,

The Nordic Rumble is not an event as such, There is no event completion/season coins/etc. connected to it.
It is an addition to the game that sometimes coincides with current running events and there was an announcement that it will be once again becoming active within the patchday notes on Friday 30th January (last week).
It is also otherwise known as the Battle Royale.

Mr-Amber

 

OK, I see the reference to Battle Royale in the patch note, but still can't find an announcement that it was happening nor can I find a FAQ.

There is no entry in the bible under either name.

A search of the words "Battle Royale" finds an Line 4 Atlantis Quest and a mention of a map in the The Njord Saga event from last June. No info on what it is or how it works.

 

We have so many events, that it is hard to keep them straight. I found this much (see below) in the "Pirate Lords' Voucher Codes" announcement:

The Lords of the Sea have been sighted once again, their ships laden with treasures! Each one vulnerable to a different kind of ammo.

A challenge for the best pirates with the finest guns, to drive them from our shores. Do you have what it takes to defeat the Pirate Lords?

Starting next week - the Nordic Rumble map is back! Challenge fate itself once again in our Battle Royal feature and prove that you are the one who can withstand a God the longest! Sail towards fame and glory in the Nordic Rumble map.

Voucher Code: PIRATELORDSSF26

@The*Defiant I missed that too. Not any real info on what it is and what to do. Different names and different spellings makes it hard to search for it too.

 

I saw that I had asked at least one question about it like 6 months ago, and I (kind of) remember playing it, but yeah. I imagine I didn't like it a lot, or I'd recall more about it.

Okay - I found this from last summer:

Nordic Rumble

General Info

Nordic Rumble is a new PvPvE battle for survival set within a dangerous and shrinking map.

Players battle against each other, powerful NPCs, and time as they scavenge for equipment, complete missions, and aim to be the last ship sailing.
Time and Date

The Nordic Rumble will be active until July 23rd noon.

How to access

Joining the map is free.

Within every surface Safe Haven you will find a portal, entering this portal will place you within the queue, leaving the portal will remove you from the queue.

The portal looks like this:


The map requires 25 participants, however, after a minimum amount of players has been reached, the remaining participants will be filled with bots that will act as players within the map.
Match Structure

Each Nordic Rumble match begins with a wide area that slowly shrinks over time, forcing players into confrontation.

The environment becomes increasingly hostile as time progresses, both from NPC threats and reduced space to manoeuvre.

Player Loadout and Looting
All players start with a basic configuration and must improve by finding loot throughout the match. Equipment is obtained by opening chests.

Chests can be found randomly around the map, or spawn when defeating NPCs, or completing missions.

There are two kind(s) of chests:

Weathered Chest



This chest contain a random "ship modification" + Laguz Runes.

Gilded Chest



This chest contain a random (better) "ship modifications"+ higher amount of Laguz Runes).
Items come in multiple rarities and types, each giving you specific bonuses.

Loot Categories

Regular (normal)


Rare



Epic


Different shape of the items provide different sort of bonuses.

When you collect a Chest or Item, you will be presented with a window popup.



On the left side the item you currently possess is displayed (1), and on the right side the new item you have just collected is displayed (2).



You can only choose one item, the discarded item will appear next to you on the map.

Note: You can either click on a button "Keep this" or "Choose this", or simply use your key binds to move left or right. In this example WSAD movement is used so clicking A would keep the currently owned item while D would replace owned item (1) with the new one (2).

Note: Please note that the number above the item is the "item level" that mean Damage 27x will be weaken than Damage 28x.

Weathered Chest has the appearance of a Treasure Chest, and Gilded Chest has the appearance of an Event Chest.

Weathered Chest mostly provides common rarity items, with a slight chance for Epic items, whereas a Gilded Chest can provide up to Legendary tier items.
Missions
During the match, players may discover three types of missions scattered across the map.

Completing these missions grants rewards including Laguz Runes, Ranking Points, a chance to win the new Oseberg Design, or a Respawn Token.

There are three types of missions; Treasure Hunters Wanted, Wanted Pirate and Bounty Hunters Wanted.

Treasure Hunters Wanted


Use the treasure tracker to discover the location within the map, successfully finding and reaching the location will award you with loot.

Wanted Pirate



You are made visible to all other players on the map, survive for the specified amount of time to successfully complete the mission.

Bounty Hunters Wanted



Similar to Treasure Hunters, however this time when you reach the location an NPC will spawn that is aggressive and provides more loot.
Trader


Static traders appear in each match on islands.

These traders offer various upgrades, including extra Voodoo Points, Respawn Tokens, buffs and more.
Death
When you are sunk, you will enter a ghost state.


During this state you are unable to attack any players, accept any missions, or win the match.

Players may have a Respawn Token from other aspects of the match that allows a one-time respawn.



Should you have one, this will be used automatically and you'll respawn from ghost state to your normal state after a short delay with no items or buffs.

However, once the final phase of the match begins, respawning is disabled entirely.

Should you not have a Respawn Token while in ghost state, you can either Leave the Map by pressing the button, or observe the battle unfold and see how it plays out.
Winning the Match
The last surviving player is declared the match winner.

You’ll receive the most amount of Rumble Tokens, a new Title “Last Pirate Standing”, and Ranking Points.


Even if you do not win the match, you will still be awarded Rumble Tokens based on how well you performed within the game.
Ranking
Performance in Nordic Rumble contributes to a ranking system, with players earning points based on your final placement.

You can also earn points when killing a player, completing a mission in-match, killing the rare NPCs.

Be careful however, you can lose ranking points if you are killed early in the game, and if you leave the game while alive you will lose a larger amount!
Rumble Tokens
Players earn a special currency from match placement, and both daily and weekly quests provided on the sign next to the entrance portal. This currency can be exchanged for items within the regular shop.

Badges

Based on your ranking position, you will be awarded a Badge.

Every player who is within the top 10,000 in the Ranking will receive a Badge, regardless of your total points.

- Nordic Rumble Champion -1st place

- Nordic Rumble Challenger - 2nd to 10th place

- Nordic Rumble Expert - 11th to 50th place

- Nordic Rumble Novice - 51st to 200th place

- Nordic Rumble Rookie - 201st to 10,000th place
Important Note: The badges will only remain on players accounts until the next time the Nordic Rumble returns, at which point you will have to compete again for a new badge.

Oseberg Design

Within the Nordic Rumble, you have a design which can be won in multiple ways; a small chance from Gilded Chests, a slightly higher chance from killing Nine Daughters NPC and a higher chance still from completing the missions.
Oseberg

Ahoy Bawdyn!

As pointed out by my fellow colleague the Nordic Rumble is NOT an event but a feature that was implemented a while ago - and it will appear from time to time within the game (like Volcanos).

The FAQ for this PvP map can be found within our Seafight Bible under this link -> Click!

Rymar

 

@The*Defiant - Thanks for digging that up. I recognize it now from that event.

@Rymar - I see we now have an announcement with the link to the FAQ and a discussion thread for it too. Thanks.

You can close this.

 

Ahoy!

Since there are no further questions I will now close this thread.

Happy Sailing!
