nines Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) The Keepers of Forsaken City Alright, since I was reading topics recently about woe and stuff and idea came to me to make the server even more unique that could attract more players and keeps a fun sense to it. It would be some source editing but not that much really <.< Now onto the idea! The basic idea is like having a War of Emperium but for Fcity. The King of Fcity has announced a new game to the whole world where he will be holding a contest called The Keepers Cup In this contest that will be hosted two times a month guilds all over the world will come to prove there worth in a competition of valor and might. While in the Keepers Layer ( Basically is a woe map ) which is inhabited by legendary beast that used to be pets to the gods protect the Grand Emerald ( Basically an Emperium could just be recolored to be purple and maybe made to look like an actual emerald not hard to make a stationary mob think Barbie could do it ) The guild that has proven their worth and conquered the legendary beast and succeeded in claiming the Grand Emerald will be known as the winners of the event. ( Could actually be set up as an event to take out source editing ) The guild that has proven to the King of Fcity will be granted access to the Room of Unknown Treasures ( A Treasure room....dur ) Side Ideas Monsters: The monsters inside the layer could be golden recolored mobs like, metal archers, gryphons, chimeras, and hydras. The monsters could all have maybe 1 - 3 million hp and do 10k hits with 190 aspd with 50 monsters on each level. ( Would be wise for players to just kill them instead of waste yggs trying to tank and run past them. ) Metal Archers: Could use focus arrow strike level 20 Hydras: Could use Close Confine Chimeras: Could use Decrease Agility Level 15 Gryphons: Could be int based and use KamatchiMap Layout: Could be setup like the first level of the pyramid to get to the theif guild on each level, people will have to find there way through a maze to get to the next level ( Would require to be done every time hosted but maybe 2 portals on each map and Genesis could interchange which portal warps to the next level to make it so people have to actually kill the monsters and check every portal. ) And if you get sent into the wrong portal you fall into a trap room where basically you'll die. Once the others get to the next room ( Suggesting be 3 rooms to take to the players to the Grand Emeralds Chamber ) They will have to go through the same process as before until they reach the Grand Emeralds Chamber. Room of Unknown Treasures: This room could drop unreleased emperiums, golden valkyrie helms, introduce new items, Etc etc etc.~Edit Section~ Edit 1/18/2011- Suggestion for a lock in on the event. So when players die they can't get back into the area making more of a requirement for having a party and participation in killing of monsters. - - Suggestion for GMs to be on the watch for Lone Man breakers this event is meant for participation and not for snatching methods everyone should be in a guild either dedicated to this event or in a main stream guild- ~ Consumable Suggestion From Monsters ~Legendary Moss: A mossy substance found on creatures of the old times, It is said to be beneficial for increasing many powers. Increase all stats by 20. 35%. Drop chance from Gryphons and Chimeras. Forsaken Tentacle: A tentacle that has been broken off a golden hydra, It is said to increase attack strength greatly. Increase Attack Power by 200. 20% Drop Chance from Hydras. Mythical Endowment: A fur from the mythical Chimera that can greatly increases your thought process. Increase Int by 40 and Dex by 20. 20% Drop Chance from Chimeras. Emerald Chip: An Archer has snatched a piece of the Emerald when no one was looking the power this chip holds is immense. Increase all stats by 20 and cast lvl 10 assumptio till dispelled. 15% Drop chance by Metal Archers.~ Drops From the Room of Unknown Treasures ~Maybe class cards? Or a new cert drops 20% chance from each box and can turn them into a gm for new class cards like master forger. Tell me what you think :O I know genesis said he would do woe 2.0 with a server update before but this would be something interesting also a player attractor yada yada Edited January 18, 2011 by nines
Masahiro Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) i love it..do it..please Gms Geez, its too boring these events pvp tourneys whatever just do it but this is a good idea 9s hope it gets accepted (btw 9s u got an ACTIVE imagination lmao /no1) Edited January 14, 2011 by Masahiro
Veracity Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 I really love this idea and think it would be very fun/interesting. It actually gave me a really good idea and we could maybe even work it into one of the future storyline updates (I've started working on the next one already). I think it's creative and the more custom things we can add, the better. However, if we do this, it would have to be as an event since we unfortunately cannot do any source editing.

nines Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Lol if you want some one to help with ideas I could do that. Like Mario said I've got an active imagination, Eh well more vivid imagination lol. Plus since your working on norse mythology I know quite a bit about it :P Edited January 14, 2011 by nines
Masahiro Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) lol yeah even i actually wouldn't mind joining in here on the storyline and other parts, i too am into norse mythology a lot hence why i still play Ro :P etc etc( but that's if this gets a thumbs up somewhere along the line) good luck!

Halion Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 The story and the events are ok but getting emperium auroras, gvhs? no that would mess economy more than now, so i disagree!
nines Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Posted January 16, 2011 Mess up the economy? So would you rather have new emps never come out? would you rather the server stay the same way it is forever. Because emps and other color emps have been out for a long time and there price is still at a stand still. Introducing a new color would actually decrease others in price because people would be wanting the new color more. How does adding more to the server make prices go up? You know what a clearance is? Its when a supplier has so much of one thing they put it on sale because no one is buying them, Just like how emps are now, no one is buying. Your point is null.
Masahiro Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 i disagree halion, now if we add in e.g some of the rare-er emps liek black and rainbow/ red etc droppable ONLY in these events (even if by epically low chance) that may make these events immensely popular, and boost server participation. what if some of the mobs nines thought up dropped helpful consumables e.g candies etc or other simple things, it could be liek a major fun and serious event at the same time. im 100% sure that server-wide participation would increase dramatically for these events. this is a really great suggestion, 2 thumbs up
Rayray Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Yeah, I disagree with Halion too. I like Nnes Idea. Thumbs up :)
Ryuk Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Really like the idea, There's only one problem (in my opinion). This is once again a "high tier" event. Meaning the already strong and geared people will surely be winning this compared to the less geared and newer players. This would mean once again the already rich people would get the new items and the newer people would have an extremely hard time to get them as well. I think there are more than enough unreachable items for new players as it is. So I say +1 for the event but -1 for the chosen rewards. However the useful consumable idea is a very nice addition to the event.
nines Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Posted January 18, 2011 Well, I see your point Ryuk. I usually try to think of things that will mostly be noob friendly but just like how non donation last man standing is supposed to be new player friendly we will always have more geared people going towards it. Even in the Anhillation event the people who win are the people who do have more gear outside of that event. While this event having good rewards would attract more geared players it would probably also decrease many things. 1. The problem we're having with woe guilds. In this event it would be needed to have a big guild to get to capture. Increasing the size of guilds would increase the size of participation from guilds in regular woe to maybe instead of smaller guilds joining in. 2. Introducing bigger rewards would like I've said before decrease the price of emperiums, golden valkyrie helms, and some of the other ones. 3. This could actually be useful to new players as an event since now reading some ideas and thinking of this response already found some plot holes in benefits. (Thank you for the brain blast :P) Ill be editing my main post under the ~Edit~ area with some possible item drops and Idea fixes.
Masahiro Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) hmm i think it would be cool if in this event you could not form parties but instead of an awesome prize in the end (you would still get a decently attractive one, say Woe Tokens as someone mentioned in a previous post) you get more of a recognition prize as having come first out of everyone at reaching the target area or defeating some thing etc (much like a ladder) imagine if there were a custom type mvp at the end and it would be like an emp aura just an mvp so players in this event would need mvp gear im pretty sure even the poorest of players could afford mvp gear. OR say there was an npc machine that gave players the gear needed for the event (at a price of say 1mil z per item so players would farm and use their zeny in events like these instead of just accumulating it without any need) (this would have the double positive of encouraging new-er players to mvp and thus improve themselves) if this were a non-pvp able event OR say the GMs activate pvp and de-activiate it during random times to make it more exciting, but make it a race to get to some custom Mvp Emp aura type monster (cannot fight back, decent hp). with traps and pitfalls in-between delays etc e.g there are millions of normal npcs that delay your character with chat OR warp you back to some random area or throw you into the fray of some survival type room for which u must last a set period e.g 15-30 second of like 15 thanas or something LOL *edit* (or the 35 zombies mentioned below by yourself) idk. or e.g their could have npcs randomly positioned that sell you special speed pots or buffs for 1mil zeny each or something. or there could be npcs found randomly that improve your weapon (like how a +10 weapon in low rates is Godly etc) an npc can give a similar feel to such a weapon and hence boost your chances of being better, you just have to be lucky enough to find this npc. (e.g the Gms can put this character cloaked and somewhere out of the way that players wouldn't go to on the map or have to detour to find, but not too badly say players always over-look it) and say before that there was this npc that gave you something before-hand you would need to before you can speak to this npc [i.d.k] Edit: say the above npc were in e.g 1 of 5 possible areas so experienced players to this event would have to detour slightly a max of 5 times looking for this npc. Say some maps you can only Melee and the Gms drop like 100 porings with consumable or cool items or something inside them or like a zombie round where they summon 35 zombies and they 1-2hit kill you but move SUPPPER slow so you just have to avoid them and not get cornered (they take 10hit ea. to die, they have 10 hp and you do 1 damage to it (like a plant or something) others you can use skills and they drop 1-5 hp buffed up monsters etc...mixing it up another fun thing could be that in random maps Woe guardians or sword, archer guardians etc spawn with insannne pvp ability to simulate the enemy forces attacking Fcity or Rebels or w/e etc and everyone has to cooperate in defeating them. the consumable idea is good because even those players who do not wish for their glory can still come out positive what this event should serve to do is boost participation for fun, and help out players alike. don't wanna steal from your idea 9s but, the event could be called "Death or Glory" or something "the War for Fcity" prize rewards: woe tokens (credited to Xtopher in the "improving Woe" post) or some special Theodore II tokens, which if you get ENOUGH can allow you to get these prestige items as 9s set out make it so that the reward isnt TOO TOO high and that you cannot trade these tokens but if you play the event enough just maybe you can get something cool the difficulty of this event is to be debated, but in my opinion it should be fairly do-able but not a sure thing for players. e.g you can still play annihalation with a good team and come out on top solo or LTS, LMS etc etc this is a stand-alone project but you can sort of work together with others but you'll all be gunning for the prizes so you either Die, or Achieve/ Attain Glory. (i'll edit and clean this up later i have to rush into school atm for sem registration and did the above in 1 min, srry brb to clean it up later) i have more ideas! tell me if you like it 9s! good luck with this event Edited January 18, 2011 by Masahiro
Halion Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Who will be the FIRST ppl who are going to obtain this?, drax, som, you, and others... lets say some of the rich filipinos wich are like 4 buy these, ok..., then thai comes and get some of these new emps ok.. then people will be getting emps likeif they were a quest! my point is no matter what emps you release or how many new customs you give, people won't buy like before! GMs need to lower drop ratio of all castles so that way emps won't drop so often and people will start buying them to higher prices !
Crack Baby Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 I like this idea, but I would rather it revolve around parties instead of Guilds.

You do realize since this is a event based on numbers your guild is at favor...............please think before you speak <.<. And why in the fuck do you want to increase prices. No being a jew Mario.....your basically suggesting a whole different event. Don't stray off of topic. What your suggesting is like something I suggested a year ago didn't get accepted. But try making a topic for that and make it so......its not like im reading it in trinidad lol was confusing me x.x And crack baby I put in the edit area about that also Edited January 18, 2011 by nines
Perishable Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Er... no? War for F-City? Dis ish n0t a dem0cracy.
nines Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Posted January 18, 2011 Do you know what a democracy is lol
Halion Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 no m3n i try to b3 c00l but now i say dis idea sux!, and i don't have any guild i only GVG with trans cause they just random invite me!
Veracity Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 I'm going to accept this though it's not 100% certain we will implement something like this. If not, we can always incorporate some of the ideas into future Storyline updates. - Accepted -
