rasberrybeard Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Ok so i was thinking what if we had a major disaster happen? That would be awsome because lately it is hard to stay focused on just harvesting hunting etc (at least thats what everyone keeps saying). So I have some ideas to keep the game interesting. 1. A natural disaster (maybe an earthquake rips up some buildings somewhere or a tornado appears that sucks players up. 2. A goblin invasion! On a pk map or maybe a normal one, have goblins overrun the thing, only they are stonger than your average goblin and dont respawn, then it could be a status symbol to own some of their skin! 3. Unleash a murder bot, make him super stealthy and super quick, so that the person who finally catches him gets a big reward. Just some ideas, I think we need some big event to happen so that people stay intrigued! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desil Report post Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) 3. Unleash a murder bot, make him super stealthy and super quick, so that the person who finally catches him gets a big reward. seems to futureistic. Maybe like a rogue but not a bot Rogues are stealthy and quick. Edited March 30, 2005 by desil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted March 30, 2005 The invasion thing is actually my idea, and I started to implement it but then I gave up the programming for EL, and it was never implemented so far. But it is on the todo list, so it will be implemented, eventually. 1 and 3 are a little but too drastical, many people would complain (and rightfully so).

rasberrybeard Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Well like I said, just spouting ideas here, a tornado would be really freaking cool though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lachesis Report post Posted March 30, 2005 1. A natural disaster (maybe an earthquake rips up some buildings somewhere (...) I suggested some similar things (medium-term changes) in an earlier thread. Unfortunately, implementing such things is complex. With regards Lachesis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Piper Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Lol, i like 2 and 3. Gobbies invading maps sounds nice. And for #3, an assasin who kills every hour a player and then hides somewhere. Find and kill him to get some nice drops, that would be fun Piper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puntif Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I was going to suggest that mining could trigger monster invasions. I'm thinking more like folklore Kobolds and not Balrogs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Astrocreep Report post Posted March 31, 2005 plague. Illnesses would be cool in general. Uh-oh... /me's gotta go... yay, plague would be neat.. and even nicer if it's contagious to other players and even monsters/animals. also random chance to get tapeworms from certain types of foods... effect could be similar to power hungry perk, but cureable.

The_Piper Report post Posted March 31, 2005 or "the pest" illness - dont know right english word for that Yeah, the black death. Lets get Satan infected for a test run I was going to suggest that mining could trigger monster invasions. I'm thinking more like folklore Kobolds and not Balrogs. Lol, that would be fun. Opening by accident a way to the home of the kobolds, gnomes or gobbies and 5 of them attack you Piper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Monster invasion is an old idea, but I still like it. As far as major disasters goes; they are difficult to implement and the 'after effects' would prolly take a new map to be implemented. Cp. Isla Prima after the natural disaster of winter. However it is feasible, but I am not sure how useful it is part from the fact that you create a feeling of living in an ever changing world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
