(Siel) What do you think about this event?

Kill the GM with a twist

Mechanics:
Only one map will be used for the duration of the event.
GMs will be in group. One GM will stay vulnerable while the rest will stay invulnerable.
Your goal is to figure out which GM is vulnerable and kill it.
Invulnerable GMs will fight back to protect the vulnerable GM.
GMs are not to use any skill outside their class.
Invulnerable GMs will stop attacking once the vulnerable GM dies.
If the same player kills the GM more than once, he would need to select someone to give his award to. That someone should be present during the event.
GMs are not to use any items not available to players.

Benefits:
This will hype the PVP in that certain map since they would need to put up a good group to kill the GMs. (I'm thinking of silentra, gelk and inggison. reminiscing the old times)
GMs will be able to PVP at the same time both factions. 3-4 GMs vs 20-50 participants is fair enough I guess. GMs are still vulnerable in sleep and silence even if they stay invulnerable so participants still has a big chance of killing the vulnerable GM considering their numbers.
This is something new and has never been done (As far as I know)

 

Seems cool to me,
however think about again and make it perfect

 

but what are the items of an GM's ?

 

We typically have whatever is wished on GM toons.

 

Same items which are available to players. I have arbiter with same stats as other players use.

 

Well first you need 3 gms that can be online for 3 hrs straight at the same time seeing as the rules are still the same that is....Thats probably the biggest issue.

Aaaaand the event is over in a 20k piercing rupture

 

1 illusion chain = event is over, no point

 

Edited.. added "GMs are not to use any items not available to players."

 

So the idea is 1 fully geared player gets supported by 1 or more with invuln.....sure is gonna be fun when invuln is a cleric or a temp and uses bodyguard. Won't be any way to do this outside of zerging.

 

Sooner or later, vulnerable GM will die. It's part of the challenge. Invulnerable GMs can still be feared or slept or silenced. Players need to use their CC wisely and need to work together.

 

There is no challange that's the thing.
If there are 2 gms, you'd need at least 2 people on the invuln to keep him disabled while another one tries to 1v1 the vuln gm. In theory its barely doable with 3 "skilled" players who know what to do.. and nobody here does.

Will just end up as 20 people pressing random stuff and rolling through the gms

 

Well, all of these are theories. Would be better if we would try it. If it doesn't work, it will never be run again if it does, it would be a good thing. The percentage of damage it would bring if it does not work is lesser than the percentage of benefit it would bring if it works.

 

If you do it, you also gotta keep in mind that you gotta do it race by race & you can impossibly host the event with crossed factions. If you're porting ely players your GM chars have to be asmo, or you could use the command to change race (not sure or it's available for you guys tho). Since they should be able to attack you, and not by sending a duel request..

& 3-4 GM's against 20-50 participants is too much imo. Since GM's can only use their class skills right? Which ofc they'll have cd on as well. Even tho they're invulnerable, it would take a dumb player a few secs to find out who the vulnerable one is. I'd make more 'fair' groups. If you got 3 GM's, do the event against 3-6 players.

Well give it a shot. The idea is there, I think you just gotta think all parts over again o.o

 

The event will be hosted in an open map. A regular one and GMs will not port the participatns. They will have to come to the map so there's a possibility that there will be 100 players in that map with both Ely and Asmo. Which again goes back to the goal which is to initiate a PVP in a certain map.

 

Yeah. But you still got the race thing. Then there should be at least 2 GM's in that map which are vulnerable; one asmo GM which can be killed by ely players & one ely GM which can be killed by asmo players right?
Possibility indeed. Small thing tho, right now there ain't even 100 players online & 50% is probably afk, if not more.

Anyway it's nice having the idea to bring PVP back how it was before. & I hope the new AMT's keep their enthusiasm.

 

We can set our selves to be enemy to both factions. Don't worry, my goal is to be an event whore.

 

1alliance with all sorc membes , that would be devastation to the vulne Gm . hehe

 

LOL?.. why don't you guys host real events like KOR?

 

Elyos and Asmos vs GMs at the same time? I don't think you can be an enemy to both Elyos and Asmodian at the same time. 1 faction will always be unable to attack you. You can host it inside FFA if it's up, but that ruins the idea of the Team Play. Besides, only SAM can use //changerace, you guys will need to keep logging to chara select to switch race. On another hand, //invul should never, eeeevverr, be used against a player. Instead, you can have Puddles change two of you into to Tiamat and Beritra and have her change your //set hp to the same amount of them, if it's possible. //Invul should never be used for pvp, even in events. I'm not even going to mention using it in PvE, GM's are not allowed to PvE, period. You don't really need to morph the two, but still, having 900k hp is better than not getting hurt at all.

Also, you forgot to mention which commands can and can't be used. All GMs will need to log to chara select to reset all previous commands used, and upon logging in, CANNOT use //speed whatsoever until the event is properly finished. Trainee's can't use //warp, but in the event that Puddles or XiKo attends, it is also needed to be put out.

With 20-50 participants vs 3-4 GMs, there's no challenge whatsoever. You might as well just give the rewards to the fastest people who can pm you "good morning ser". Something similar has been tried, and it didn't work out. One thing you might want to consider is an event somebody did before, maybe Akikaze or Razor did it, I forgot. Like in Guardian bgs, players spawn on a cliff. Find a small map that has 2 of such cliffs and designate them as spawn zones. Spawn Obelisks there as well so players can resu themselves. Put Beritra and Tiamat in the middle. Get 24 Elyos and 24 Asmodians. Rewards will not only be whatever they can get from either Tiamat or Beritra, but also the event prize of your (or puddles) choosing.

Unfortunately, it won't hype up Gelk/Inggi/SC. Only way you can do that is to do what Ari did and put Stormwing, Tahabata, and Tiamat in the map every hour for people to kill. People love PvE. It's easy, they can camp for it to respawn, etc. Having a GM group run around killing you while you can't kill 2/3 of them isn't what you want when you wander into Silentera Canyon. It's a good idea, but just no.

What's probably in your best interest are KOR events. Problem is, with the playerbase Gamez now has, I highly doubt most of your participants will understand the rules, get disqualified, and qq. As they always do. Try to find a list of some Aion KOR events and see if you can dumb it down a bit.

On a separate note, here might be a fun idea. Have a GM (preferably someone besides yourself so you can observe the event incase of any would-be hackers) stand in Ophidan Bridge. This shouldn't be //bk tele since that puts you in a map with no mobs afaik, but you should actually //goto ophidan bridge or fly there yourself. In any case, it needs to have it's mobs. Kill the boss. There's nothing that they can get from that anyways and it's just annoying, has a big aggro range, deals too much ranged damage, no point. Give yourself the HP of a boss and have Puddles //morph you into that Boss. Should be something with very, very high hp. You don't need to attack them. You actually shouldn't. You can even spawn the boss itself if you want to to up the rewards. In any case, turn Ophidan Bridge into a Dregion. Ophidan Bridge works in a way that you need to disable all 4 of the reactors or w/e to open the bridge to the boss. Buuuut, given enough time, the Balaur will spawn and re-enable that reactor. Spawn 5 Elyos and 5 Asmos. Either watch them work together to kill the boss, or kill each other. Either way is okay. If you want, you can even port 10-12 each depending on if you're going to spawn more mobs to make it more difficult, and which boss you want to spawn/turn into. Run will have both an easy, and a hard mode, so to speak.

You can name it Ophidan Clash or some shit like that. Prizes are up to you, but preferably high since it would prolly be a long event.
