Event Suggestion!

[Phenomenon]

Event Suggested : Novice Survival

Concept : This event is borrowed from another server I used to play. Basically, it's Survival, but with Level 1/1 novices, and no gears. The spawns are slow and rather weaker than the ones in regular survival. It's like Drainliar, Zombies, Bigfoot, etc. Any slow walking monster would do, with varying difficulty.

Reason this event should be implemented : Reduce amount of events won by geared people. Give new people a chance to win regularly-held events besides Hide & Seek and Dice. This event is less boring than those 2 events as well, as you have to be more involved and use more strategy to get around the slow moving monsters to win.

NEW Event Suggested : Novice Last Man Standing

Concept : Level 255 novices going at it with their best gears, fuck yeah! I love the idea tbh. :D Lets give versatility to PvP Events. A novice oriented one would be fun IMO, and would encourage newbies to join as well.

Well, this is a nice event.

Agreed on the topic, Cause :

1.We wont get to waste 1 Char slot with Novice char 1/1 just for Dodgeball Event.

2.In this event, It would be more challenging rather than the Dodgeball, Since the dodgeball monster got cast time to make us

easier run as far as possible from the monster.

3.Phenomenon "Reason this event should be implemented" is already mention most of em.

Nice. :)

P.s : Wasn't this event liek the "Run Novice Run" Event? I remember once that some Gm is hosting it 1x.

and well, if you can, Please remember to Divest all player in the Dodgeball event / this new event.

and please put ur effect on to see which novice use item like speed pot , etc.

Reason for Edit : Typo.

I like it. I wouldn't enter it though lol.

But divesting doesn't divest accessories, shoes, garment, and middle/lower headgears. Maybe there's a way to code an NPC to divest EVERYTHING upon entering...idk.

Do the GMs have the @who/@who2/@who3 command (whichever is needed to reveal who is a High Novice vs a normal Novice)?.

I probably wouldn't enter it either but It'd sure be an interesting idea. If there isn't a way to divest everything upon entering, then maybe it'd be better dispelling all buffs before entering and from there the GM's will da manual way of stripping people? And yeah, the GMs do have the @who command which shows a person's class so it's only novices, not high novices.

Also to make it easier for GMs to accept the suggestion, I think you or we as the community should come up with a list of rules/guide-lines/the waves of monsters for the event?

I was going to say something else, but I totally forgot... LOL.

[Poringly]

^Uhmm.

Well, Phenomenon said that the monster will be Drainiliar,Zombie's,Bear,Etc.

But i think what about :

Wave #1 : Zombie ( Agressive and A bit slow for the beggining)

Wave #2 : Orc Zombie ( Agressive and A bit slow )

Wave #3 : Roween ( Agressive and pretty fast )

Wave #4 : Marc ( Agressive and fast )

P.s : No ranged or skill monster please. >:

I cant think of anything better. xD

I pick for small monster so we wont accidentally hit them when we're movin. :\

^ I think those are good choices. I just went on a novice character and ran out on the maps with those monsters, and it does seem pretty evadable. It can be dangerous when there's a mob of them.

Although one thing that keeps coming to mind for me is that this Novice Survival will be different from the normal Survival. In the Normal Survival, you have the ability to kill monsters. But in this case, you don't. So my thoughts are kind of scrambled on whether the monsters will be fair enough for the Novice Survival.

Anyways, I think the map should be completely different from the normal survival. Personally I think that the normal Survival map may be a little to small, so here are my map suggestions thus far:

1. The PvP map that looks exactly like prt_maze02.
2. Possibly orcsdun01. I find it that it has a lot of obstacles and it could provide a challenge.

To make it easier for the GM's, here's what I believe the GM's to broadcast:

[GM]InsertNameHere : The NPC for Novice Survival will be enabled in 5 minutes!

[GM]InsertNameHere : Warning: the event is strictly for level 1/1 novices only! High novices or any other classes are not permitted.

[GM]InsertNameHere : Also any equipment will not be permitted in the event. This includes all equipment that could benefit you. (Unless this rule changes, feel free to ignore it.)

*Continue until NPC opens and then 5 minutes for closing or whatever time the GM wishes.*

In the Novice Survival Event

[GM]InsertNameHere : Welcome to Novice Survival everybody!

[GM]InsertNameHere : In this event, your mission as a novice is to evade all the waves of monsters I will be summoning and be the last novice remaining!

[GM]InsertNameHere : Here are the rules for the event:

[GM]InsertNameHere : Being above level 1/1, all classes excluding novices, any equipment that could benefit you, and using skills are not allowed in the event.

[GM]InsertNameHere : Any equipment that could benefit you include: gears that improve your walking speed, defense and allow you to use skills are not permitted.

[GM]InsertNameHere : As a pre-caution, I or we (depending if one GM is hosting it or multiple) will be Full Divesting everybody to make sure all gears are off.

Divesting time here.

[GM]InsertNameHere : If we catch any of you cheating, you will be killed on the spot. This is your first and final warning.

[GM]InsertNameHere : The event will begin in 5 seconds. Good luck to all of you!

Event begins.

Notes about above ^:

• Feel free to remove the part about the divesting if it's possible for all equipment and buffs to be removed when you click the NPC and when you enter the event, no equipment can be worn.
• Make sure the map allows NO skills to be used.
• The rules or the dialogue for the GM seems a little long, so feel free to shorten it.

Continuing on about the event, here are a few NPC suggestions:

1.

Source: http://kalen.s79.xrea.com/npc/npce.shtml

NPC Name: 4_f_nfdeadmgcian

NPC # 792.

2.

Source: http://kalen.s79.xrea.com/npc/npce.shtml

NPC Name: 4_m_nfdeadswdman

NPC # 796.

3.

Source: http://kalen.s79.xrea.com/npc/npce.shtml

NPC Name: 4_f_novice

NPC # 729.

4.

Source: http://kalen.s79.xrea.com/npc/npce.shtml

NPC Name: 4_m_kid2

NPC # 716.

5.

Source: http://kalen.s79.xrea.com/npc/npce.shtml

NPC Name: 4_f_kid2

NPC # 703.

I don't know if the NPC Name and NPC # will help, so I just put it there just in-case it does.

For the NPC locations, I think it should probably be placed at fcity 88 106.

But if this event does get added and a new NPC is going to be added in, I think the Novice Dodgeball NPC should probably be moved as well to make the organization of the NPC's more neat. So I think I'll add in a suggestion to make the Novice Dodgeball NPC be placed at fcity 90 106.

I think that's all for now. :) I know, it's a long post. I have a lot of free time.

[Hannah]

What about that divesting thing like when you enter that building in payon (@go 3)? You get stripped. I want the GMs to agree with this suggestion cause I'd like to play Novice Survival. (:

[Kittie]

@Ami wow that's really thorough!

But you forgot my favorite NPC!

422 4_m_babycat

And that divesting thing just takes off your equipment. You can put it back on right after the map gets done loading lol.

[Phenomenon]

The map used should be a small map. The maps the Warp Portal Events are held on are perfect IMO. We don't want the event to drag on. And yeah, it's not about killing the monsters, but surviving! The event was a big hit on the server I played it on and I think our players would thoroughly enjoy it. I like Kittie's NPC to be honest, it's so kawawa! (cute)

EDIT : I BELIEVE NPCs can be coded to prevent the bringing in of ALL equipment, such as the annihilation NPC filters out our custom items. I would hope this would also apply to consumable items.

[Sorrow]

The idea is pretty good.

i think one good mob to add a bit of flavor to the event would be Geographer ^^ a kind of 'trap' instead of just a full on chazing army of mobs.

Also if the monsters AI could be programed to change targets every so often could add even more 'surprize' to the escape.

[Phenomenon]

Edited First Post, Bump.

[Guest xonchu]

i would like to suggest for baby pvp too :) hehe....

anyway... the best map suited for this is poring_w01 :O coz the are.. uhh novices :)

[Annie]

Novice LMS would be suckish, all the pros would be 1 hitting the rest LOL.

[Veracity]

Personally, I really like the idea of the Novice Survival Event. We can definitely look into adding this, though I don't know how soon it will be added. Thanks for your suggestion!
