Event Idea!

Haylooo everyone. ^^

I'm here to bring your attention to a special lil event of mine that I just thought up. ^^ Incase you don't know me (On CrystalAion), I usually try to think up events different from the daily RvRs/1v1s and Trivias because they can get repetitive eventually. And so, after thinking for awhile, I was able to make an event, which I call Special Delivery! ^^ It's actually pretty simple, fun, and it uses both races. You take one race, and label them the Carriers. The other race will be the Interceptors. The Carriers start out with a group of 5 at the beginning of a map, and one of these 5 party members will hold a random special item. The goal of this party will be to escort the party member with the special item to another Carrier at the end of the map, so he may trade it to him, which will win the event! Now be careful, there'll be several Interceptors scattered throughout the map, in groups of 2 or 3, and some lone assassins in Hide to spice things up. Have no fear though, if you're a Carrier, because your group will always have atleast one healer (Interceptors will usually be pure offense, or pure slow/root groups, like 2 templars). If you're brave, and determined enough, you'll be able to push through the Interceptors (and occasional mobs) and deliver the item to the Carrier at the end, and win the event for your race!

Rules

• The starting Carrier group may choose who they want to carry the "package".
• They are not allowed to trade the package to another party member.
• Interceptors are not to leave the designated area that they are ported to by the AM hosting. (With the exception of "patrolling")
• That said, if two groups of Interceptors are placed close-by, they are not allowed to move to the other group if they see the Carriers moving in on the other group of Interceptors. They must stay where they are until the Carriers move into their general area.
• Interceptors are NOT allowed to attack the Carrier waiting at the end of the map.
• To prove the Carriers have made the trade at the end of the event, the Carrier who received the item must link it in public chat, for the AM to see.

Suggestions

• Try to make the carrier group as balanced as possible. (1 cleric, 1 scout, 2 tanks and a caster)
• Make only the Carriers who aren't holding the package ressable. Or if you want the event to be quicker due to time-restraints, vice-versa.
• If the Carriers are better-geared, try making the Interceptor groups a little bigger.
• If the final Carrier IS guarded by Interceptors, bum-rushing (running through the Interceptors like a suicidal maniac screaming "LEEROYYY" :3) and trying to make the trade before you die IS allowed.
• Use groups of 2-3 people for the Hide Interceptors as well, or else they tend to go out fast against well-geared groups.

Prizes

• Lately, people have been asking for mats, so rewards would be balic mats/carved fragments (With the standard kinah bonus, and maybe a special item, should Ash see fit ^^).

Of course, the AM hosting the event can always add some catches (like time limits, or having the Carrier at the end of the map be defended by more Interceptors, or giving enemy rangers time to set up traps) if they want.

[I know we have an Event Think Tank Subforum, but that's only for Gamez and we don't have one for Crystal >.< So I just posted here]

Thanks for reading!

EDIT: I figured a good starting test map for this would be something like Esoterrace, as long as nobody uses the bugged Fear Shriek. e.e

 

Make it alsow at gamez aion this sound fun :w00t:

 

Haha, thanks! ^^ I'm trying to see if I can get some opinions on it before I try it out, so far I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

Sounds like a great idea, when will we see it? ;p

 

great idea ryry ;D i wanna be an interceptor

 

I love it
hope it reaches Gamez

 

All these event ideas are nice but don t forget that the best event is to port asmos and elyos in the same area let em use kisks and let nature do the rest...

 

How about an anti AFK event.

Send a group of Elyos to Panda/Asmos to Sanctum and let hilarity ensue.

 

Nice ideea <3 . I'm looking forward to see this ;p

 

that idea is legit as hell :O +1!!

 

+121965187256187219561 hope this reaches lumiel.

 

make it instead a protect the player ****** instead. Players should be left to decide who they must protect. The advantage of this over a protect the gm event is that the players can choose a more tricky route than the obvious

 

oh yeah Thats good Idea

 

Well, Carriers suits me.

 

I think we'd have to up the "groups of 2 to 3 Interceptors" to "10 to 15" for you. .-. I'm on Crystal and I still know how hard you are to kill.

 

Sounds like a nice idea Ry. Write up the rules and what prizes you'd like to give and I'll look it over so you can host this.

 

I like eeet! Les do it wen it get bk ! >.<

 

I was wondering if interceptor would be allowed to give chase if carriers see they are losing and decide to run for it? lol

 

Event approved for a trial run. Let me know how it goes and we'll go from there. For prize let's go with 100m + 1 item (GM choice) from this list in amounts no higher than are listed there to start out. If it's untradable I will need to mail it.

 

50 lustrous balaur meat?
