SillyNeverwinter. Flowers are supposed to randomly spring up out of the ground, not horrifying monoliths that corrupt the land and cause madness to anything nearby. Obviously, the natural order of things is being upset in the MMORPG’s worldwith the Monoliths of Madness update, and it’s up to players to handle the problem.
The tentpole attraction for this patch is a 12 week-long event that will see strange altars erupt in one of several of the MMO’s zones each week. Players can progress in a related campaign and contribute to a server-wide progress bar, all while facing corrupted enemies in an altar’s area of influence, corrupted heroic encounters, and a boss fight that grants a buff specific to the altar area.
Naturally players can expect a variety of rewards from the event that include an Umbral Widow mount, a new epic artifact, and a Staring Cat of Uldun-Dar companion among them. Take a wild guess why the cat is called that.
While the monoliths make up the main meat of the update, there are some other additions too, like higher stack amounts for several items, the ability to equip two combat enhancements at once, a new calendar of events, and of course some new gear and items to cross your fingers for. Now get out there and start cutting the awful lawn. In a manner of speaking.
