Battleground (BG)

[ChaseyLane]

Is this in this server..?

seen it in a few servers, think you needed x3 of each class to enter on euro (not 100% on that) and it would spawn mtk, CS, izt and a few other bosses ....

As I remember this was also a good place for leveling due to the amount of mobs that spawned there

If it isn't it game would it be something you could maybe look at adding at some point..? Even as an event map and just put it in on special occasions would be quite cool

Obviously I realise this isn't really a pressing issue just more of a general wondering

There are a few threads about this in the past.

Afaik most people reported the BG was bugged on most servers they played and that it was never really balanced so it was decided not to add it to Chronicles.

As always I am happy to hear any ideas players have related to it.

Do you think its something you could maybe look into then as these are different files to other servers arnt they..?

Just thought it could be somewhere people could unload their mir testosterone lol

BG is one of my most enjoyable cave's in Mir and if the spawns and drop's are done right it could be great and bring load's of new players as it's a good place to get power leveled.

I loved this on euro, of I remember rightly there was a 1 hr timer on it. Cause u cud only get to 2 bosses depending which way you went.

Please put this in?

Maybe up the grp limit so 3 of each class is needed. Great for bosses/XP and guild pvp.

The most expoited map on euro and usa. Not seen a mir that had a good version. Find the other threads for a list of some of the abuses.

I enjoyed it here aswell tbf. Was always a good laugh! I realise it had its problems but done correctly I think it would be great to add it back in either full time or special occasions.

Might entice a few people back due to the good exp, choice of bosses and the fact that you wouldn't drop items or break stones if you died. Also the hour time limit was good as people couldn't setup shop in there for days like they do in other places.

 

[ChaseyLane]

The abuses are simple fixes .... The being able to add then remove people to get a group full of wizs etc was due to the fact that in the script it allows u to change group before you reach the tele in screen (simple fix as far as I'm aware)

If its packed with mobs then people won't be able to get through it so fast .... Think of it like bdd but if every room was absolutely packed it would take a lot longer to clear the bosses in there simply because the ordinary mobs need clearing first

These are just 2 ways off the top of my head in which with abit of common sense it could be fixed so it isn't so exploitable ....

3 Wars/Wizs/Taos/Archers/Sins - would that fit in a group? :P

Fantastic concept imo, which could and should be expanded upon. Needing 1 of each class alone makes it unique and adds its own difficulty to organise hunts. All bosses should require a group, BG actually enforces this, and imo should reward players as such.

I'd like it expanded to give different experiences depending on group level. A sub 30 leading a group would get WT/EC etc as bosses, while a lvl50 leader would give very high level bosses. With the mobs inside scaling to suite. Ideally scale mob density based on group size and mob type based on group makeup, ie a group with 5 (or is it 7?) wizzies in addition to the base 5 would spawn more magic using mobs.


Just because something is exploitable doesn't mean it shouldn't be added. Mining is full of AFK/bot miners, and yet pickaxes haven't been banned. The amount of added stat items are far more damaging to the economy/server than people lvling faster imo. Getting a power ring for a boss is seriously devalued when half the power rings on TM are added stat... But that's just a pet peeve of mining on mir.

2 of each would be the best combo and making the place harder non rtable and non drop would be sick. Tons of lvling and bossing would be done there due to no risk of stone loss or pk etc.

Orgasmics will finally have their own carebear hunting zone

Pie don't turn this into a flame thread please .... I'd like this thread to be taken seriously and it doesn't exactly take much to get a thread closed here does it

I used to love the old BG hunting parties on the old mir's. Such a great way to level up and have fun in big groups. Maybe lower the requirements to enter the cave itself? IE: minimum of 6 in a party, with 3 different variations of classes (non specific classes) So you could have 4 warrs 1 wizz 1 tao to enter, or even 2 wizz 2 warr 2 archers. The possibilities would be endless and would allow many people the chance to enjoy the cave, if you decide to put this in.

On another note, I have only recently joined the server, and would like to say thank you for making one that is really enjoyable! brought back so many memories. Now all's I need to someone to hunt with...... haha. (is the Ancient Oma Cave in Chronicles?)

Killing players is far easier than killing most bosses. If killing players gave EXP and decent drops, I doubt many people would actually bother with normal hunts. World PvP on mir is pretty pointless anyway when they can just TT so I'm not sure I get the point about carebear hunting zones. They can instantly tele and go somewhere else right now, having a difficult to access cave wouldn't change that much.

Plus how can you call a guild that owns Sabuk Wall a carebear guild? That's like a complete oxymoron. If they couldn't PvP surely they wouldn't own it?..

Would love to see BG, spent many hours in that place on euro.

 

[Martyn]

It'll only be exploited, as with everything. But I guess it makes archers have a use..

 

[Clintus2]

I enjoyed BG i like Casino too

 

[Paloma]

Bg was exploited in too many ways to list. See other threads.
It was also easy as fk and no drop no risk. There were players and guilds who only went bg.
Maybe can invent a levelling map with some bosses that only a group can enter. Other threads said make it zo that soon as one player in group dies all are tele out.
Be easier to change bdd go giroup only.

 

[Mystickiller]

I never saw bg being exploited on euro. Lol. Maybe on other priv servers. Casino room and challenge was but couldn't really do much when mobs teled on top of ya.
