Live Hot Fix Notes
Doppelganger Invasion Event
While each realm has been pre-occupied with attacking and defending each other, their attention has been away from other things, things more dark and sinister.
Taking advantage of the realms distraction, Doppelgangers have begun increasing their numbers, and their territory. Expeditions across the frontiers today report far more Doppelgangers throughout the mazes, while Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland seem almost infested with them. One such expedition captured one of the Doppelgangers, perhaps a little too easily, did he give himself up? Not all Doppelgangers want to see the light of day.
Alerted to the danger large Doppelganger numbers present to their realms, the kings of the realms have placed a bounty on Doppelgangers in order to dispel these forces, before it's too late.
RvR Bonuses
The following bonuses are active for the duration of the event as well!
Doppelganger event and bonuses will run until May 5th, 2020.

The reason people hate to PvP is they are afraid of failure
Regarding the Doppel event, can EC accounts participate and claim the rewards?

RP/XP no. Crafting yes technically-speaking but EC accounts can only use Bountycrafting. The only RP/BP/XP bonuses that apply to EC accounts are from the Mithril Shop potions (which are also free rewards in this latest event)
What % of a chance is it they drop becouse I killed 60 doppelhangers and I sident get 1 drop.

Where you try to solo? Breifine/pennine/jamtland has been dead i think.
You can find many solos now i think running around doppels, so I dont see a big problem.
I have been loving the solo aspect of the game idk what you are talking about...
25 seals = 2 Elixirs of Conquest
Find the joke

Yeah, they clearly nerfed the spawn rate on 4/1. I think they went too far and wish we could find a happy medium.
