Here is a special type of suggestion thread, write up whatcha want to see ingame that could be made without scripting any new items/stuffs. If u dont know if its do-able without scripting new stuff, put it up aswell.
Describe it as much as u can, if its something sneaky/suprising, pm me on the forum about it.
So this thread goes for those who got lovley ideas, and want me to try put em togheter ingame, aka you say idea, i create and sit back, laugh and watch as u struggle with "your own creation"
If there would be a flooding with several nice ideas, there might be a poll, but feel free to comment on other players event ideas.
But keep in mind, events that req. things like special armor and weapon pieces will take up alot of time when the event is about to start (*sigh* my class pvm event did take alot of time)
this is an idea I posted a long time ago, I still think it would be cool so im gonna copy paste it straight here...
Ok how about this for random events..
Every hour, on the hour somewhere in the world, a crack opens in the ground and a system message telling us only the facet. Around the opening of the crack a group of random monsters spawn, and in the crack, more monsters and a boss. when the boss is defeated the crack seals but if the crack is never found it seals anyway. after the hour is up a new crack opens randomly somewhere else.. Anyone still inside the cavern when the timer runs out will remain in there to finish the battle but no newcomers will see the crack or be able to get in and if the current occupants leave they cannot return either.
The monsters that spawned above ground will remain under usual despawn timers so as you are running through the lands you will encounter monsters you never would expect in that region.
In the interests of pure randomness it would be cool if the bosses could be given a random model, skillset and loot so you might fight a lady mel thats called a drake, looks like an edyn and drops a sand robe or whatever mad combination.
I think this would encourage general exploration, add some randomness to the predictable wilderness and just generally be cool :)
ok, a little bit of what i had NOT in mind here =P but i guess it could be created, but then it would be me more of an automatic pvm event sort of.. I guess its possible, but if you want random caves, and random loots, that could be a tough one. I might learn alot of a certain game mechanics atm, this prob. aint impossible, and shittons of work =P
The thing i was thinking about if a player wants a staircase maze event, a pokemon battle event, a tower defense event (you are either archers or mages, trying to kill monsters before they reach a certain point) etc =P but good idea none-the-less.. Though i have to put it on the shelf at this very moment, since i need to learn the mechanics a bit better first.
hehe, yeah I get ya man, just thought id resurrect it as an idea seeing as there's a board for it now :) ill keep thinking, but definitely anytime spawning one of the bosses that spawn on a daily or longer timer or your own unique creations like the other day (Canada day) will draw some kind of a crowd, especially if there's a hunt or a riddle to get to it...
stay pimpin!!

well that was rather too easy tbh =P best of all worlds would be something that contains:
-"Fast & smooth" when the player arrives (like a classic pvm event in an arena or so, without event equiptment, but shitloads of strange monsters that has been altered in advance)
-Something new/different
-Equal to everyone
ah well, i might produce a jumping puzzle race tils the weekend, but cant promise anything ^^
(and yes, you might think why i put you all to agony by a jumping puzzle, then u wonder why a jump puzzle, u cant even jump in the game... we will see!)
Events can be simple also, scavenger hunts, find a npc or gm with clues where in the world is noll :), naked racing from point A to B, event tokens can be used for rewards to a special event store that has deco items or an event theme item, the more event tokens the better the item you can get, the player can choose the item, also make the tokens non transferable so you have to actually attend the events to get the tokens.
Or make the tokens just blessed for the player like checkbooks. No one else can use them except the one who earned them. For example : Event Token [Blessed For GrimReaper]
Oh and yes, would be awesome to see scavenger hunts again. I miss those days when Lucky Lady was always on trouble. ^^

But i guess i could do a scavanger hunt is even way funnier =P
Noll, don't forget all the awesome rewards tho. :P
Noll, if u wanna do a Scavenger i would really love it.
Scavanger it is, i have to check with vorspire first, so i dont ruin his suprise, by having players run my scavanger hunt..
also add some v v simple quest npcs... (u think u just woulda get the things from a corpse? no no no muhahah)
This was one i did way back on my old shard; Basically its a 1 time custom harrower type event. Players would have to locate 5-7 mini bosses, loot a special key and bring it to an alter to activate the main boss. I used lord blackthorn, as he isn't really used in game that much and has cool graphics/smack talk.
I also enjoy the battle royal type events. Its where all players that show up remove all their gear and items, and are given a bag with some simple weapons, a few regents, couple bandages and a random spellbook (no chiv, because you cant control their tithing points). Personally i prefer doing this as a one on one tournament style, but you can also make it a free for all in some Forrest that is blocked off.
People love a good deco contest, and i haven't done one since xmas. Its great for more passive style players
SoP did a scavenger hunt race not to long ago that was a blast. Those are always popular.
Marty from SOUL did a house collapse event over the holidays which was well received. Filled the house with loot and dropped it at a specific time.
...I have some ideas i've banked for when i have enough time to do some more player run events. But those are gonna stay secret as usual :-X
Sure a deco contest would be fine, then i got time to work on other things ^^
Maybe make a themed deco contest, hmm..
A "We Love Saturn" event is always a huge hit!
I basically sit in the throne and people come pay tribute to my awesomeness (all currency, rares and doni items accepted. Please, no more macaroni pictures);
LOL...Nigel
I did come up with a pretty good idea and it is a traditional Noll Koll type system "Off the wall not game related awesomeness"
Where's Waldo!!
Waldo spawns in either Fel/Tram Dungeons randomly throughout the day you find him you get chance for prizes :)
Anything from lesser Arties, lvl 7-8 tmaps, runic crafting kits, etc
Than of course the paint of it all:
1,000 gold
lvl 1 tmap
Spawned monster
cooked bird
etc
I thought of this and thought of your wicked mind Noll :)
Would be nice to keep in game forever :)
L....O.....L....
Forgot to mention if its in Fel it gives Drag a chance to hide and Pk people lol
The "Where's Waldo" thing sounds fun, and might be a great way to get people out into the wilds again, rather than congregating in the same places. A world announcement could be made that Waldo was recently seen, letting everyone know he is, in fact, available to be found, and perhaps even a timer until he disappeared again. Spawn times might be randomized, or put on a clock like the Tokuno items, to be checked periodically. I'd love to see the UO animated Waldo...
I might be able to pull this off and have it as an ongoing weirdness thing in Pandora :-P
Give a random something, if it's Jason it kills him hehe jk
He will walk around for 1-5 hours or tils someone finds him, then randomly selects a new map n location
Make it in fel! In order to participate there has to be a little risk involved. If there are like 10 or so people participating, I'm sure I'd be less inclined to take that many on at once. Not saying I wouldn't try, just that I wouldn't be as eager about it.
Everyone grab an event buddy and run together.
Risk is always a good thing thats what games are for. Coming up with this i thought WWND "What would Noll Do" And in turn came up with a great idea haha. This will get more people out and active rather than killing the same champ 10x per day or sitting around in Luna all day. I added in the lvl 8 tmaps because they are probley the rarest thing to get period so me having 120 lockpicking is kind of pointless lol.
Prob. will make it spawn randomly on all maps... with or without a broadcast
I like the totally random aspect, as it should prevent anyone from marking runes at all his spawn points and just porting in and out to find him. Maybe block him from spawning in towns, if we have to kill him, but everywhere else could be fair game.
You cant kill Waldo he did nothing to you :)

even tho im not 100% sure i could make a completly random location except towns etc, but i could make so many locations it would impossible to recall to it, due to the X amount of hours it exists, its bound to walk randomly
edit: ofc u wont be able to kill him, you can't kill what you can't find =P
Do i get a lvl 8 tmap for the wonderful suggestion and to test out my long hours "and paid players" to do that terrible lockpicking 120 quest?? :) 1,000 polar bear skins is no joke.....I will sit in your chair again :)
you can get 1000 polar bear skins in a few days without buying any easily
go to the t2a entrance of ice dungeon and clear the whole area of polar bears left and right of the entrance, do it in fel also (careful round the champ region) and you will net 30-50 skins per run. then wait 15-30 minutes or so for it all to respawn and go back.
20 trips and your there :D that's how I did it
Added polarbear spawns in ice isle in fel that would help out
LoL but i already finished it its ok i got people with not to much money hooked up i figured i would pay people to do the work for me :)
Ty Noll.....Nigel
So......Where's Waldo? :)

He is hiding obviously.............. from my mind... totally forgot ^^
Oh sure can spawn zombies in my house but you forget about waldo :P
Maybe Waldo is skipping around Malas with Slenderman LOL....Nigel

I also added one... in Fel... Right outside the road in the mountains to Deceit.
Tread lightly.

With these amounts of polarbears and polarbear skins, treading lightly would be a piece of cake
Here's an idea...
How about a Paragon Champ Spawn. It would without a doubt test our mettle, mixing both PvM and PvP together into one chaotic event.
I did post this already but under the wrong thread hehe.
Bounty Hunter Missions
You can post bounty on players heads 1mill min+
Once you kill target take their head and hand it in to receive the posted Bounty.
After you accept a bounty you will get random messages telling you where they are.
"Bounty Spotted In Shame"
"Player in Safe Zone"
Etc
i think this would need to work like murder counts to avoid griefing, so for example when somebody pk's you you can give them a murder count, at the same time you would get the chance to place a bounty along with the murder count, maybe the more times said person kills you the higher the bounty limit you will be able to place..
otherwise it would be very easy for someone to continually put bounties on the heads of those that annoy them to make sure that everyone wants to pk them.
cool idea though
Chances are though if someone Is up for bounty it is because they like PvP. The people who don't rarely do. Also gives you the option to have friends put you on the bounty so you can get some more action.
I know a lot of people would put me on it heck more fun for me.
I am sure Noll would be the first to post me :)
What happens when a murderer gets an alt to claim the reward?

How dare you say something that cruel, im a extremely professional staffmember who doesn't fiddle with the affairs of the mortals except to help those unlucky souls who have stumbled upon an issue.... Shame on you!
@jo... Good question, I guess it would need a similar system to what we have in place for PvP coins, we cant farm them by killing alts, there seems to be a limit on how many coins one can attain from any given player in a given period of time.
@electro.. Not necessarily dude, I could for example, just place a bounty on Nigel horns's head just for the crack hehe. I think it would only be right if he had to kill me first before I could embark upon such malice :)
Quote from: Johana on September 10, 2013, 06:11:20 PM

Yah would have to be some tweaks on it good call We all know we have exploiters.
For Instance
Same IP cannot collect reward
Can only have 1 bounty posted on you per day
Same guild cannot collect reward
Must be a PvP kill not following someone around who gets killed by a monster.
There is still things that can be done obviously to exploit but this will limit
I like this idea....Nigel
My first post would have to be
Noll Koll
For invading my old house with zombies :)
Are you sure this is the right thread for this? Makes the impression to be a one time event. Thought it should be a forever thingy?
Suggestion board?^^
I like the idea as well but think it should only apply to reds or someone who has killed you. Not just random people who you feel like putting a bounty on. Plus this could be exploited so many ways. Not sure how you could make it legit.
Agreed, reds or recent killer....Nigel
Can we PLEASE get a bomberman arena set up??? It's so much fun. And play it once a week hopefully. Thanks!
Agreed, +1.....Nigel
we had a bounty system a couple years ago or so, and it got exploited so it was removed.. it was a fun idea if it could be made not so easy to cheat..
Waldo get lost on an Island with all the Neira's? :)
I would like to see the old game Frogger adapted to an event here if possible.
We used to do seahorse races on old shard. Obstacels and random tele's made it interesting.
Maybe a rugby type event. Have two teams with team captians that choose their players (like dodgeball back in the day when it was socially accpetable). Wait Dodgeball, thats a good one too!! Anyways, when one picks up the ball they turn a certain color. First to 10 points wins!
Also, have team uniforms so we dont kill our own players
Maybe a Pirate Wars! Make small lagoon, group up in teams, and last boat standing wins.

Can't help it..chicks dig the rainbow look. :P
In honor of America's birthday, sometime this Saturday July 4th a Red, White, & Blue Slasher of the Veils will appear in a random city. But this is no ordinary, beefed up, re-hued monster. Beware the rockets one-hit red glare, the crushing blow bombs bursting heads in air - it will take all the mighty Pandorian warriors to send this beastie back to the abyss!!! ...and will there be deco?
Maybe?
Remind me ingame Friday/Saturday.. I might even add a rainbow colored one :-P
And welcome to the club!
