RE: Update on Trials and Missions in CoH/CoV

I'm planning online events for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day.

I need to confirm if these trials are still active:

1.CoH
Sewer Trial - I know this one is but it says minimum is 4 persons(wiki) but what's the maximum users that can join? The old Prima guide says 8 max users at level 36 or higher.

Hive Trial - Is this one still active? I see on the Wiki it says minimum 4 persons but what's the maximum users that can join? The old Prima guide says 25 or more users at level 40/Prima Guide(or 45 Wiki) or higher.

Shadow Shards/Storm Palace - The wiki is the only place I found information on this but it was minimum. I'm assuming this is still active because I've seen and been inside the Portal Corporation.

But I would like to get this information(minimum Level accepted, Mini/max users allowed) about these Portal trials:

Fireball Zulu
Cascade Archipelago
The Chantry
Storm Palace

2.Still SG only Trials(according to Prima Guide)?:

Faultine - up to 25 users with minimum level of 19?
Eden - minimum 8 users up to 50 users. Minimum leveled accepted is 38?

If still only SG, can SG users that I have coalitions with participate?


3.CoV

The Abyss - The wiki was the only place I could get info on this. It says level 45 is required to enter but no details about min/max users.

Cimerora - Is this accessible to villians and heroes? Also, what are the min/max users and minimum level accepted?

Thanks for your comments in advance.

My advice: ignore the Prima guide entirely. It is laughably out of date.

Up to date information can be found at Paragon Wiki.

The 'Faultline Trial' was never implemented.

The 'Hive Trial' is commonly known as the Hamidon Raid. It pretty much requires 50 people and a very specific mix of archetypes and powers. The level range is 45-50 but 50 is preferred.

The Sewer Trial is still active, levels 38-40 (however, players higher than level 40 can join but they will be de-leveled (exemplared) to level 40 for the duration of the trial).

Many people have given me the same advice as you have. The only reason I still read it is to see how the game has EVOLVED from the beginning. It's like looking at yourself when you were a kid. Thanks for your comments

There is an Eden trial, given out by the Woodsman, but it's a regular TF-Style trial - so max of 8 people (don't recall the minimum).

I'm used to using Red Tomax's guides:

Has anyone attempted these PvP events:

Bloody Bay - Shiva Strike Mission
Siren's Call - ?
Warburg - Missile Launch Mission
Recluse Victory - Temporal Anchors

How long are these TFs/missions and how many people can be on a team?
Also, is there a mission/TF in Siren's Call?

Those are not so much events or missions, as they are mini-games.

The Shiva Strike is really an individual thing. You can be on a team, but the only thing that counts is what the individual does. A person must go and get a sample from each of the 6 meteors (less if you have 1 or 2 pieces of Prototype Element salvage), then go and clear one of the firebases, and convert the samples.

Siren's Call has the Battle for Siren's Call. There will be a hotspot that will show up on the map. At the hotspot, Arachnos and Longbow groups will stare at each other for a long time, and then finally rush each other and fight. Heroes/Villains can get involved and reduce the delay before the fight and even turn the tide of battle, depending upon their skill. Each of these battles is worth 100 points to the player on the winning side and these points to purchase a few items. These battles will also, very slowly, shift control of the zone to one side or the other, allowing the winning side to be able to purchase temp powers from the zone vendor.

Warburg, see the Missile Launch Mission.

Recluse's Victory, see here.
