Fortress Event - Think Tank

Hey guys, I was humming over a new event idea and have decided to get the thoughts/ideas of the community for its creation.

Now one of the things today's major update added was the ability for admins to assign fortress control at a whim. Needless to say this opens up all sorts of event possibilities.

Now if I decided to host fortress control events where the two factions would fight over and eventually kill the guardian deity, the winning faction claiming the fortress and perhaps even assigning it to a guild although that would be hard to make fair so perhaps no on the legion part, then the only problem would be motivation.

Owning a fortress currently only gives you the benefit of being able to teleport there directly from your landing, now I am able to delete the Balaur NPCs inside these fortresses and assign new faction ones to the spawntable however there's still the motivation.

What would motivate people to own these fortresses since we don't have the fort instances working yet?

What do you think I could do to make this worthwhile for the faction for anything besides a bloodbath. Don't get me wrong, people will show up for a bloodbath but if possible I'd like to make it worth something more than epeen.

Suggestions are welcome, I'm all ears. Lets see what you guys can think of!

Good luck.

 

Cool!! I approved!!

 

Zomfg this is so nice go for it !!! fortress xDDD

 

yah so cool.. i approve to

well fortresses give gold medals after the group/alliance kills the deity and take over the fortress right?

so why not reward each take over with medals? that's enough motivation for me. don't know about other people.

 

Yes i agree

I agree with that GM


probably many players AGREE too!!!

awesome idea Alente but how about making this either a legion vs legion thing or a new type of group.
For Legion vs Legion: summon up some rank 10 and under legions from both factions and have the winning legion own the fortress and all of that legions members receive rewards

For New TeamvsTeam: ok how about you summon the first players that whisp you ( like you normally do) and just have like 3 or 4 groups from both factions battle it out for the fortress and each person on the winning team gets a new title ( the title would be the name of their team but they can wear it like a normal titlelike TeamX or TeamHero ) and everyone wearing that title would receive the rewards

Rewards: maybe alot of AP and the winning team wins Balaur armor, also why
not have the players vote on an MVP and that MVP gets Governor rank?

just some ideas hope you like

 

i agree but how dose the event worke withe gms summon us or like at linage 2 tnx thet ther is a npc thet u register and evry 10 minets u can go ther ?

 

weiiii good idea alente..we will be there..

 

i have no idea what you just said, quite distracted. i just know that i saw a custom title and custom balaur armor? lol

 

Sounds great alente! I think the motivations comes in from the prizes u give out

Maybe even some sort of system where the top legions own each fortress and this updates every time a legion gains a rank or losses a rank.

 

Great idea give Elyos and Asmos something exiting to do instead of camping on Obelisks and Teleporters. Thank You

 

finally fortress siege xD

 

not to be a sore sport, but had to ask.

if the losing side will get nothing as a reward, will that make you people fight harder to win or go "meh whatevs" ??

 

for the motivation: you could raise the ap gain to the race that have to fortress/fortresses like x15 for non premium and x25 for premium users

 

fixed post read it again XD

 

i can see a good fight in that event.

what will motivate? -Huge Prizes. and AP's

 

Well the thing with fortresses is they're not closed off instances or maps, they're right there in the middle of the abyss.

Anyone can show up, teleporting select people there doesn't really work when it notifies the entire server that the fortress siege is now active.

Therein lies the genius of mass-pvp and the problem of trying to reward people.

I was thinking spawning some sort of useful NPCs you can't get anywhere else or something but I'm drawing blanks.

 

how about if evry one can be in the event just fly to the fortress then give a race award to the team that take the fort like retail where you get HP bost crit boost atk boost or like i said a AP gain boost

 

true but the ppl who whisp you get the opportunity to have the title like that asmo vs elyos event where the entire community participated but only the ppl who whisp you got rewards sort of like that but with my custom title idea
