Content

Rage of Bel was mostly composes of 2 things. The Bel fight and the Insurgencies

The Insurgencies were a unique type of heroic encounters, where players had to slay waves after waves of enemies. After slaying all enemies, a boss had a chance to spawn, and whever it spawned or not, the players could close a portal to finish the insurgency and earn it's rewards (100 Chaotic Writings and a fewSeals. The Bel fight was a difficult boss fight with multiple mechanics

Server wide cycle

Rage of Bel had a cycle of sorts. Each time an insurgency was completed in the whole server, it added a few %s to the Bel's rage bar. Once the bar reached 100%, insurgencys stopped spawning and the Bel fight spawned instead, and could be defeated for rewards (Infernal Secrets, small amounts of Refinement points and Rough Astral Diamonds, and a chance for a Ring of Bel (Combat Advantage and Accuracy stats, when you are hit you get a chance to summon a devil that strikes an enemy for 70,000 damage, can only proc every 30 seconds). Bel stayed for an hour, and then left and started a cooldown hour with neither insurgencies or Bel bring around. After this hour, the cycle started again.

Ranks and Rewards

In the Rage of Bel storyline, the players joined the order of the riftwardens. Then, they were given an amulet and could progress the ranks of the order. When a player killed an enemy in an insurgency, they had a chance to charge of amulet with 1% (limit of 20% per day). Once they reached 100%, they progressed to the next ranks. There are 5 ranks, so progress from the 1st to the 5th rank takes at least 20 days. Each rank opens new rewards for purchase for infernal secrets, including a new vanity pet for every rank, modeled after the insurgency bosses, for 55 infernal secrets each, and a special boxes to open, with rewards that increase base on your rank, for 15 infernal secrets each.
