Running a test now with 3 players, i will see which properties to change etc before doing a fullscale event of this =P.
But this is the event for those old enough to feel embarassed about wanting to play pokemon, which would result in 82.5% of all the players on Pandora.
All players that wants to join, gets a easy to kill creature. (i will prob. use a ferret for everyone, same resists, dmg etc for everyone) Which has a) unlimited skillcap, 2m wrestling skill, sure go for it! or b) a rly rly rly high skillcap, like 2k wrestling?
The players may choose how their pet may look like, but do remember, you may not keep your pet!, i will make em self destruct after X weeks.
----
For Y week(s) the players needs to train there creatures to become the best of all, then there will be a showdown in form of a pet tournament when its done. I will see during this test if i should enable magery or not on these creatures, since perhaps a single flamestrike could instant kill it (perhaps).
Feel free to drop suggestions and/or which creature you want it to look like!
*********************************************************
Ok after this time of testing, we can conclude that even the smallest animal can be the most awesome =P.
I will construct all the pets needed today, and will deliver em on thuesday, everyone will get tils Sat the 15th of February to train their animal as best as they can. I will have a skillcap of 6.5k in each skill.
Each animal will be a ferret, with same resists and stats as the rest, but you may select which hue and form it takes, (do note that i will prob. not do any monster look on em, try select a small and cute animal.) Feel free to pm me ingame or in forums, regarding which hue, pet type and your account name so i can give it to you, even if you are offline.
edit: also, spread the word around for those that wish to join, but aint frequently using the forums, tell em what it is, and tell em to pm me which desired pet and hue.
this is definitely a cool idea, iv always wanted a hardcore pet spider myself :D .. might i suggest also running a more normal pet tourny where players use thier own pets but the heats are based on categories using hit point and/or pet slots..
for example one round would be 2k hp with 6 pet slots or 4 pet slots unlimited hp or 10 pet slots but only 1k hp etc etc.. players choosing any pet combination they want as long as it adheres to the hp/pet slot threshold for the round, i think we'd see all kinds of wierd and wonderfull combinations :D
sounds nice, but that would req. that players got high-tiered pets and/or got 10 slots
For a 10 slot fight yes.. But not for a 5 slot bout.. Either way your temporary super pet bouts will be the main event, I still want mine to be a spider :D
bumped for more info
very exciting stuff... been some great working getting this one rolling.... i am really praying for a good responce from the server... i would like to see this one become on going... leader boards etc
Please let us all know when this event will happen, I will make sure to make this one.....Nigel
pm me ingame or forums what type of pet you would like (any sort of pet will be fine, since i will just remodel a ferret, but not larger then a horse is my rule), and tell me hue you would like, and your acc name.. The more i can complete now, the less time i need to deliver em this thuesday and everyone can start train em at the same time
K what? UO pokemon?! Sign me the eff up!...Mind you I'm rarely on the same time as most members of the shard, but I'll pm you anyway and try and join!
...I sat here staring at the screen trying to think of a way I could promote my shop with this, and i got nothing...Errr, POKEMON!
I wish I could figure out why I lose connection when I`m afk. Go to bed thinking my pet will train up a lil and when I get up,lost connection and barely got any training. My lil birds gonna be first one out if I have to sit at the screen and watch every bit of his training
Seems that ALOOOOOOT of people have pm'd my backup characther about pets. I only use my backpack charachter when something is rly bugged with my main. So please resend all pms to my main characther and ill sort you all out as best as i can
added a magical teleporting training elemental of awesomeness in insula.. will teleport to random locations in insula, 3k in each skill... Active trainers will get a better training excercise.. but a note to everyone, you will have to Feb the 15th (or even a week more, depending on avaibleness of me), to train your pets.. dont go nuts in insula now and get sick of it =P
I am really enjoying this thus far. Its great to see a lot of the server rally behind the idea. I can not wait to see how it grows!
added "strange llamas".. randomly spawns somewhere in umbra and insula. 100 in each resist, but same hp as a regular llama. So keep an eye on its hp, and if too many comes and cluster on llama, it will die.
edit: also removed the teleporting elemental, since it was annoying to some =P
edit2: apparently u cant attack nor heal a llama in insula, there are now 2 spawns of "strange llama". One is in Umbra, that llama got 50 hp, but all resists at 100%.. Safer, but u gotta find a new llama after those 50hp is gone. (2 llamas each location, around 1min respawn time).
Then there is one spawn in felucca - buccaners den, normal llama hp, but u can heal it. But since its in fel, its a bit risky
Haha, one flamestike it was toast. Good thing you have that short respawn timer.
Edit:
Looks like if your pet curses the llama it will drop its hp to 1!
aaah cheers.. will make it so it has 3-6k magic resist or so
Resisting spells has no effect on damage spells, it just prevents curses/poison etc

ill let u think about that for a while ^^
Dont really understand.. Jo said one flamestrike killed it, then you said Ok ill give it loads of magic resist. Then I said magic resist wont prevent flamestrikes.. If im missing something just ignore me lol

100% in each resist means every damage it takes, will result as just one hp hit, doesnt mather if u hit for 1m dmg or 10 dmg, it will still result in one damage. (apart from armor ignore)
A flamestrike that does 1000 damage, would result in 1 damage on the llamas, the instant kill part is where the llama was cursed down to 1hp.. More magic resist would mean that they wouldnt be cursed that badly, and wouldnt have 1hp after a curse.
my pets wrestling has risen to 362.2 :D bring it on mofo's!! :D hehe *rolls up sleeves*
I think im avaible Saturday the 15th of February..
The tournament will start around 4.30-5pm EST, so 1h earlier then usual.. (might take a long time)
Please spread the word around about the times.
Also give me suggestions how you would like the tournament to be like.
-Random opponent setup
-if you loose once -> you will not be 1st
-battle setup regarding total pet skills, so one with 20000% total skills will be battling the one next to it, with 19999% for example
-Everyone battles everyone, then there after the winners will battle it out.
-Shall the pets fight once with everything they got, or 2 times with magery, and one time without, best of 3?
Round Robin!
I'll be at work, but i'll do my best to join in the action anyhow. (Cause I clearly have poor work ethic)
Also if they don't say *pets name* i choose you, they're disqualified.
>:( trained my pet 4 days but birthday/ valentines day weekend = me doing dinner/ hockey with the woman. maybe do event on non holiday weekend.... anyone else but me hope 4 this?
seems like there is always some holiday, or im not able... But if i see a low attendence, i could split up the tourney, do the most part tonight, then do some personal fights after.. Depends on whatcha all think..
i say we do the event anyway people knew about the event for a while now
I will have to bow out. I have had little game time or time to train pet so he`s still not much over new. Got hired at a new job and just been real busy. After 5 days finally able to play tonight w00t!!
I'm just about to log, but either day i'll be at work. My pet is weak, so i can just participate to the best im able, and just let people use me to get to the next stage.
Ozum
Big thanks to everyone who enjoyed this, an even bigger thanks to those who accepted defeat...
First event that took 5.5h?
Anyhow, big gratz to Johana.. I will deliver the event prices when ive slept a loooooong looooong time
Thanks for everyone tha came out thanks to noll for putting this on and loosing sleep its good to have new things to do a break from the normal things in game
