mutilixus Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Hi FRO, I know there has been heck loads of Thana Room suggestions but I would like to suggest a different one. I've had this wild idea in my mind but I don't know if it's bright or dull so I'm sharing it to you guys to know your opinion of this matter, YOUR CALM, HUMANE, EDUCATED OPINION of this matter. So please don't be a keyboard warrior (not pertaining to the guild) and keep your rage comments about this matter to yourselves. Again, I need decent opinions and critiques. One last thing before I start with the suggestion proper... YES, I've been inside Thana Room more than a couple of times and I know how it works. Okay, so here is my suggestion. First, I don't care if you use 3rd party or you say you "practice" a lot so you sorta' "perfected" the timing in entering the room. This suggestion is about Thanatos himself, why not make him uber stronger (even stronger than Wounded Morroc, and put higher resistance to Demi-human attacks) to the point that it requires a team (not 2 ppl, not 3, but a whole party) to beat the card out of him so that the ridiculous price of 15k+ can be any of its worth. It's like a raid but it's Thanatos. img source: Google How it works. If ever: • The party leader, let's call him/her "Thana Junkie", speaks to the NPC just like how it works now but this time only party leaders are allowed to talk to the NPC. • Once the junkie is in, he then talks to the NPC inside to E-call his party members and start the adventure. • @commands are still allowed, except @warp - 'coz it's freaking annoying when you accidentally warp out of the room. • All skills are welcome except Basilica/Warp portal/Teleport. Edit: Oh, and Land Protector, so that everyone in the party is obligated to have their GTBs on. • If the whole party is wiped out, your Thana card quest dies along with your character. • The 120~130 min countdown to re-opening the room starts when Thanatos dies (Another suggestion) The reason behind this is to players in knowing the exact time when the room will re-open thus, making it hard to cheat (I don't know what kind of cheat but I know that it'll be hard because Thana room is all about timing) and giving all players a fighting chance in entering the room. • Instead of announcing whether the room is opening in 10 mins, 5 mins, 1 min, and 30 seconds, why not make it announce something like; "Thanatos summon room will be opening soon." but it will randomly be announced 10~30 mins before the room actually opens, the main purpose of this is just for a heads-up and not to feed the exact time to everyone. So it can be announced 29 mins before or 17 mins and so on and so forth. (Another suggestion btw and is it possible? scripting side) • Ofc, the random captcha is still there. Pros: • It won't limit the benefits to only 1 person, if they decide to dual client in one go, then they won't be lurking around the room for the next 2 hours. Edit: And if Thanatos is made uber strong enough to the point that a party w/ 2~4 players (all hitters and no support) isn't enough to take him on, then dual client-ing would be a pain in the ass. • Other players earn tokens. Just like in raids, by helping the Thana Junkie, they can get salary once they got in and successfully defeated the MVP. Ofc, the card goes to the junkie OR they can have parts of the profit when the junkie sells it (basically, it depends on their arrangements). • This can also add camaraderie between players. Because teaming up with other players creates connections. And who knows, maybe if it works out the first go, the Thana junkie decides to keep the team and maybe put up a guild with his/her Party members. • Makes Thana's price worth it. Although 15k+ is still a ridiculous price for a card, the thought that the seller paid a bunch ppl to get it can be a consideration for having that kind of price. OR MAYBE, this might lower the price of Thana Card (Theoretically speaking) since people will know how much the junkies pay to get a party. Cons: • Some d*ckheads might consider inflating the price of Thana because they pay for a team to get it. But I don't get it. Why?! Thana price is already a joke, why make it even more funnier? • Erm, 1 team might hoard it? If they considered making alts just to hoard the card, this suggestion has nothing to do with it. It's already happening, the only difference is that only 1 person is hoarding it atm. Sometime or someday, we will think of a way to make entering Thana room hoarder-free or cheater-free or whatever-you-call-it-free. • I don't know... Is there something else? I personally think that the cons are in the people, not the Thana room or Thanatos or Thana card or the way things work in Forsaken RO server. That'll be all for now. Thanks!
