[Event Idea] City Annihilation

Very interesting, i would definitly give a shoot

I think it would be good for weekends only.

 

Great Idea im on it xD

 

Yep, we have the most players from Friday thru Sunday and I think we can get enough players to do it at least once a day on weekends.

 

this does sound like a very fun event but yeah the NPC thing would be a problem like people have suggested, an AM taking the place of the NPC would be better

 

An interesting concept although I see a couple things that would need to be considered.

1) You seem to be misinformed as to our level of control over NPCs as staff. They can be slain, they can be deleted (destroyed from the database) however they can't be temporarily despawned. We "could" kill the NPCs but they'd probably respawn in about five minutes on average.

2) Another possible issue is going to be the same thing that happened after the old events Bull and I did in Sanctum/Pandae. How many people are going to log off in those cities and then log back in later and slaughter some lowbies. They'd get warped out fairly quickly by a GM I'm sure when the rage started but what if one isn't online at the time? What then?

3) New players to Gamez (lowbies) or people in places like the Auction House are going to rage something awful when they get their heads chopped off while minding their own business in their capital city.


Those issues would have to be given due consideration.

 

Thank you for taking your time to respond to this post.

Perhaps I'm wrong on that. I just took the word by a fellow GM that an HGM (Alente) could respawn/revive/restore a dead NPC. that's why I made the suggestion. Thanks for clarifying.

I believe that if the NPCs could resurrect in about 5 minutes, then killing them would not be a problem.

I thought killing an NPC would require for a more drastic measure to bring it back. (just thinking of 2.1)

My thought on this would be that once the event is over, there should be a headcount for event prices and all of those players should be teleported out of the city once the event is over.

Since the event should be organized, at the end of the event, AMs/GMs should know who's on and who's not by keeping their names on a list.

You sort of caught me off guard on this one. I'll sit and rethink this part. (I guess I have faith that participants would be considerate enough not to stay in Sanctum/Pandaemonium)

Well if you're willing to consider this event, then I'm more than willing to also come up with alternatives or solutions to what has been mentioned above.

I will send you my other suggestions by private message as long as you believe that this is do-able.

 

Vidar is so much easier to get to than Fasimedes.
Can you imagine 50 asmos on that tiny elevator?

 

Oh lord... I love it!

 

red, you come up with some great ideas. I'll see what we can do with this one. I've been itching to do a massive home city raid event for a while now. +1 sir

 

i could probably ask 20 asssassins on shadow walk go directly to target have the target's head cut of in minutes. but that's just me.

 

That's one of the things that made me ponder about this event XD. it would be awesome to see Elyos and Asmos fight in that tiny elevator lol. or watching one faction defend the elevator to prevent the others going up there to kill or save NPC.

 

Well thanks =)

I'm just trying to find fun stuff for the staff and the community to do and enjoy.

I'm still trying to figure out those lil' perks that Alente mentioned.

I don't want to do it on a different city because it would take away that "unique rush" from it.

Players like to go to places they normally can't, it just gives it a sense of excitement, it's like taking a bite of the forbidden fruit.

 

You'd need 20 asmos just to survive them bosses. You'd need another 80 to survive the elyos. Can you get 100 asmos in Sanctum?

 

1 h of event in sanctum,i guess the new players that want to level up or something can tolerate 1 h but im thinking that elyos can respawn every time in sanctum @ obelisk and others can come using teleporter..the ideea is not bad but how about we limit the amount of elyos and asmos in sanctum? like 100 elyos and 100 asmos,teleporters and scrolls be disabled for 1 hour (too much work imo but the result would be indeed satisfying) (and about the 100 number.. i know its too much for sanctum but it was just an example xD)

 

Or... get in a sanctum from a different world. As you can go in instances in different worlds (So that two groups won't get the same instance), I think they can get into another world, in Sanctum.

 

Problem in doing it in Sanctum/Pand is players can DC and relog later there, would cause problems.
I Suppose we can do it in Heiron/Beluslan, but it won't be much different from the faction raids we're already doing.

 

That's why Sanctum/Pandae has NPCs and 70-80 Elyos/Asmo
