Bay Under Attack (BUA)

Hey folks, GodsWar Online is ready to roll out another delightfully difficult  instance, Bay under Attack.
 
Instance Backdrop
Before Christina threw herself into the arms of Medusa, she plotted a clandestine attack on the port that was the center of the economy in Ancient Greece. After elaborate and dangerous  meetings with groups of bandits, mercenaries and Persian cutthroats, she had banded together a small army. After securing the talents of the Skeleton Lord, a menace plaguing the suburbs of Sparta, she had assembled a truly fearful force. They set off to raid and seize strategic ports along the Greek coast in an attempt to shatter the Greeks control of their own shipping lanes. The leaders of the Greek city-states came together and have called on warriors to fight this evil force while they still can. To lure in more soldiers, the leaders have even promised large rewards for those instrumental in the defeat of this bandit army.
Requirements
A party of 3-5 players Level 50 or above.
 
 
Heads Up
 1. Each player has 1 chance per day to be teleported into the instance, which will last for 30 minutes. Players will be teleported back to the main city right after the instance closes.
 2. After being killed, players will be revived at the teleportation point.
 3. Each entry counts. Once you are in the instance, you cannot exit the instance before times runs out.
 
 
 Details
 1. After a team has been formed, a team leader must be selected and is then obligated to talk to the Instance Caller (137,-40). There is an Instance Caller in each of the two major cities that will teleport players into the action.
 2. After the Instance Caller has been contacted, an instance entry button will be available for each member of the team. After the button has been clicked, the team will either be teleported directly into the instance or placed in line for it, depending on traffic. In the latter case, the team will be given a queue number indicating how many teams are ahead in line. While waiting in line, the makeup of the team cannot be altered, but other gaming operations are allowed.
 3. If a player fails to be teleported after the 60 sec countdown runs out, the instance leader (the first player on a team to enter the instance) has a choice to invite the player again by going to Instance in the Interface panel.
 4. All monsters in the instance will drop treasure, with the higher level monsters promising higher quality items. Killing the end boss Christina signifies the end of the instance.
 

Instance Drops
Drops in this instance include a full range of skillbooks catering to the needs of players of different levels, a variety of regular gems/crystal/exp pills, costumes (limited), high end gear and other high quality items. Refer to the table below for the skillbook drops available,

Transferring Responsibilities
The team leader is not necessarily the Instance leader. The Instance Leader is simply the first member of the team to enter the instance. Once a player has been designated as the Instance Leader, it does not mean they have to keep this exalted position. It can be transferred back to the designated team leader chosen before the team entered the instance. To transfer the position to another player, the Instance Leader must follow these steps: click Check on the team button on the left side of the mini map, then  right click the player who will be taking over the leadership position, then choose the Appoint button to finish up the transfer of power.
Instance Termination
The instance can be terminated immediately after a vote among all team members. The possible reasons for a vote to end play would be the greater-than-expected difficulty of the instance, or undesired progression (players drop-off, or a team wipeout). The Instance Leader has the right to hold a vote to determine whether the teams effort should be halted. If a majority (more than half) agrees to terminate the instance, they will be able to walk away with a certain amount of rewards depending on the team's progression.
Note
The Instance Termination button is on the left side of the mini map. If a vote is ever started, the Instance Leader will be automatically considered to be in favor of termination. 1 chance to enter the instance is then consumed for each player on the team.
Good luck!
