FAO Samuel, Easter event.

[warblade]

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!

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.

You don't need to go as extreme as those events, having a replicate boss that spawns every 6 hours for a few days with the same or half drop file would not break the server. It would give a lot of players to experience the strengths and drops of those bosses and hopefully some fights along the way. Anyway its just an idea, I am not expecting him to implement my ideas, I want him to get creative with his own.

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.

As per Bold.

It was euro. Cave entrance was just inside Oma Caves if I remember correctly.

One of the best events I seen that one, was in an RMV style map with a King Easter boss I think.
I remember getting a Hero Necklace from something. Poo memory.

Trying to kill you (a Forever-Red NowhereMan) and JerryTheBerry with an entire guild... lol

EDIT: Is he around these days under a new name? or lost contact?

Good times!

One thing I would like to add before I hit reply. Next time an event like this is had, add in the function that whoever gets the kill, gets the drop, regardless of a time-frame My dad was on yesterday (he literally plays for nostalgia feel and isn't in any position to do any PvP at all), killed an Egg and some peanut dropped jumped his level 40 robe. Literally stood there for 5minutes until he could pick it up, quite pathetic for a level 40 robe only worth 100k...
