Direct Assault
Direct Assault is a custom PVP system where two teams compete for the destruction of the enemy crystal in a specialized map. Participants acquire points which then can be used to purchase unique equipment, pets and consumable rewards.
History
Launched in 2009, Direct Assault endured a lengthy period of testing of staff directed battles and immersive Pax vs Rek roleplaying. It has since evolved from a 10v10 guild vs guild system to a 5v5 Faction pvp system as of a 2012 revamp.
Participation
- Join a Faction.
- Join Direct Assault (prontera 44,212).
Outer Deck Waiting Room Areas
Each faction has its own waiting area. Upon entering this room, each new player will receive 500 Direct Assault Coins which can be used to buy special items that can only be used in the Direct Assault map. Once each side has 4-8 players, party leaders can start the match manually, which prompts the barricade to drop to allow players to the next area. You can leave the waiting area anytime by talking to the exit NPC.
Players can do a server wide announcement through the DA Control NPC for 500,000z. Only 1 announcement can be made per 10 minutes per faction.
Inner Boat Waiting Areas
The inner section of the boat has a Kafra NPC which can let you heal, open storage, and even repair your gears. There is also a Tool Dealer NPC and a special Shop which lets you use the Direct Assault Coins. You will have three minutes to prepare and then the final barricade leading to the fight will disappear!
Direct Assault Rules
Each side will have its own crystal to protect. You will only have 30 minutes to destroy your opponent's crystal 5 times or else everyone will be warped out of the map. If you die, you will be sent back to the boat and be fully healed. You won't be able to move for 5 seconds though, so be careful! At random times during Direct Assault, two incredibly powerful buff crystals will appear. Kill them to obtain one of two items which can boost your ATK by 1,000% or even reduce most types damage you take! All healing items are banned in this map. Players can re-join if they DC during a DA match.
