FAO Samuel, Easter event.

[Raider]

My whole post is intended to be constructive criticism and to help improve the Easter Event or future events. I hope that other members of the community will voice their feedback in a respectable manner.

Lets start with what we currently have, Easter eggs, rabbits spawning which provide decent exp for lower levels and a chance of a rare item or book. You are also able to craft the Easter set which provides MC/SC/DC on par with mid tier kit which can be used at any level. The final item you can craft is the Easter medallion which is a permanent item kept after the event and gives minor stats. All of this is a great starting template for an event, it provides useful things for all levels that par take in the event, however it is missing one core aspect, fun.

When it comes to Mir I feel I have a great grasp on what makes the game fun for people, so here are my ideas to you.

- Its half term for a lot of people so extend the event till next weekend.

- Adjust the Easter eggs and up the spawns, remove or lower a lot of the items and books that they drop and change it to WarGod Oils, Benedictions, Gems, Gold bar(EXTREMELY RARE). This will make sure the economy is kept in check since all of these items are not permanent, it will also allow people to have fun improving their own kits.

- Adjust Easter Bunnies, we have eggs for free low rate drops and good exp so now lets make something more fun for the group orientated player. How about an Easter bunny that spawns on a 6 hour spawn with a global announcement for when it spawns/dies in Orc province, make it the same strength as Orc Warlord and have the same drop file. If you replicated this in all provinces for say WT/ZT/MirKing/ZT/King Hog/QueenAnt/BL/MTK/DD/OmaKing/Orcs/Jinchon the bosses would be spread so thin that a lot of guilds would get the opportunity to kill some. I think it would be hilarious to see a little white rabbit wiping out whole groups while we fight to kill it and with the double spawn time it would not flood the server with items, you could even give the bunnies half the normal drop rate for the bigger bosses to help keep things under control.

- Carrots, we all know if you eat your carrots you can see in the dark! Well I have seen complaints about caves being too dark so lets kill two birds with one stone, how about we trade 100 carrots for an epic torch which covers the full screen, sort of a mega eternal flame. Plenty of these lovely vegetables going to waste at the moment,

Just a few of my ideas, the ones I thought would be worth posting, I hope you will seriously consider extending the event and adding some more creativity to it!

+1 to this

Well said, definitely needs to be made for fun.

 

[Stormbird]

id agree with that. there needs to be more items that are common like wgos you can shop rather than just rare items, or its not tht fun and its just grinding a different mob for an unlikely reward.

(i understand you have the easter kit which is great for noobs but not so much for me).

First of all thank you for posting a thread that had some thought put into it. Along with Koriban's thread on his opinions on warriors and taoists it is a welcome change.

The items that are currently given are useful to lower levels and give them a noticeable power upgrade compared to lvl 20 items. For higher level players it is not much of an upgrade over the standard DG corals kit. Gaining a few percent extra damage is not fun at all and is something that other games have started to phase out in skill trees etc. Perhaps if the items had scaled with levels, everyone would benefit more. I would consider a temporary weapon to be better than standard items and it is the piece of kit that I feel most would enjoy seeing.

Like you said the event is not fun at all. It is not enjoyable competing with all levels of players on the first floor of caves. It feels claustrophobic and causes unnecessary tension between players. I would suggest spreading it out slightly more in future.

I agree that the event could have been extended to a week in order to allow as many players as possible to participate.

The books dropping could have been handled a bit better (shadow step anyone) and limited to a lower level of skills for certain classes. I do not agree that the items you suggested are not permanent. WGOs cause gold to stay in the economy as you do not have to repair. Benediction oils and gems can have permanent changes to your kit (including negative), and are currently sub boss or above only items currently. That said I would agree that they would be more fun to have than the current drops for the most part. Gold bars are introducing one million gold into the economy and this should not happen at all.

Easter bosses that drop permanent items I do not agree with. I would not mind if they dropped good items that were temporary however considering they would be easy to get to. They would be monopolised by the stronger guilds unless managed correctly also.

The full screen torch is actually a really good idea and would fit in with the spirit of the event.

Events are hard things to make fun without ruining a community. it's also hard to have a balance where low levels will enjoy it just as much as high levels.

I've tried here - Low levels just keep getting pk'd for a drop or even just an Egg.
I've tried Arcadia - Low levels again just get pk'd for the sake of it.

Neither server have I seen anything worth putting the effort into, nor have they made me want to play.

Should have made "eggs" drop, that you double click for the chance of an item. This could be anything from Nothing, EXP, HP/MP bun, EXP Pot, Gem, Item (Nothing too drastic), Bene, WGO - The list is endless.
These eggs would also sell for a decent amount, like Xmas Boxes on Euro did for the rich people willing to take a gamble. This is the kind of thing that keeps people interested. People would hunt eggs all day even if they get nothing all weekend.

 

[d1craig]

all of that is entirely agreeable apart form the bunny boss being as powerful and as worth killing as OrcWarlord. only one guild has killed it so that guild would get everyone from every province.

this even was fine when it started. but it was changed too harshly. atleast when a change like this is made it should be sorted out as if the problem never happened. should have deleted the items they where not suppose to have dropped.

I agree with some of this thread, parts about different aspects. But in regards to Length of event, as much as im enjoying it, I dont think it should last too long. Short and sweet is always best imo.

I think if you get rid of certain negaivity, there are lots of positives to take out of the event.

 

[Shank]

Make one EvilBunny or something like that spawn in a random province once every 'xxxxx' amount of eggs or bunnys are killed or something?

 

[grimlife]

an end event boss would be good, one that would take a server wide effort to kill like the Lords use to in the old days of euro. (bring us all together for easter :P and would make a good video of everyone together to advertise for the server)

like an evil uber bunny thats come to claim back all his eggs and revenge for his bunnylings

Thats a great idea!! +1

what i do agree with - fun is key on any game. things that make you want to log in and think about when you can next play. i personally couldnt give 2 flying fugs about this event.

i think it was euro - but some server had an easter tele in map full of eggs / mobs and such - pvp was enabled - with lvl range maps. that was a lot of fun.

most people seem to like pvping, and would agree with perhaps 1x easter boss with a similar setup to oks to encourage fights. people would have a good laugh with this i imagine. make it drop good too so that its worth the fight.

full range torches seems like nonsense, but consumables over items and books makes a lot of sense.

the duration of the event probably should have been discussed before it started.

i would suggest any multiple boss ideas should be dropping the crap you can craft for easter rather than permanent gear though.

dont expect anything in this thread to be looked at or actioned though.. apparently you would need to make an individual thread in the 'suggestions' forum for each topic mentioned - and then you stand the risk of 'Samuel' throwing his toys out of the pram even if he does skim read it going in to no detail.

No permanent items should drop from events. The ones that dropped should have been deleted if they were an error
USA had giveaway events but that was to cover up the bugged/incorrect/cynically manipulated drop files.
No to the big evil bunny event mobs. Events should seem to include everyone. If this server reaches the same stage as euro where most players had a char with all skills at level 3 making a level playing field then yes big bad event boss. Until then its sounding a lot like more greed.

Of course permanent items should come from events otherwise its not worth investing your time to do it. I don't understand how its a greed suggestion when I already have the best kit around, but okay.

I know i wouldn't get any items and i wouldn't care, but regardless of what would drop or who would get the drops, Wouldn't it just be a really fun to get 300 odd people in the same place? all having hella fun, pvping and pveing? making another mark in history for us all to remember

 

[Brad Radical]

Well said and couldn't agree with you more, especially with the whole carrot thing

The only events I can remember on euro which gave permanent items didnt do much good for the game. The famous para ring event the sowg event and the tele into the island/cave events which gave out books and items for 40+.
To me those looked like ploys to keep the subscriptions rolling in.

 

[LightBringer]

Crafting Perm items in events generally are a bad idea IMO but in this instance the medallion isn't overpowered, may as well just farm levels till the next event comes round then farm event mobs for the drops you require

I like how it is now, they should however, have the event stuff in provinces as well, always liked it more that way (personally)

It's been a good event to get more 26-30 weps and skills into the game without overloading it and killing the value of everything.
A Boss would be good in some aspects ( fun to hunt e.c.t.) but would also end in serious blood baths over drops e.c.t. :P
