Christmas Event Ideas

[Ares]

I hate to say it but Christmas is coming up quick!

It can't be Christmas on Mir without a Christmas event, thoughts have been passed around but with the delays on the test server being in opperation things are still floating around in the things to do.

Please post what you would like from the event and as long as its suitable we will do our best to incorporate as many of your ideas as possible.

[Lone]

the game wont go down over christmas (at least not taken down by us)

>.< the swines.

*On topic*

Ideas for christmas could include,

Present boxes - Both dropping like the hallowpumpkins, or spawning like the Event/EXP/Gem boxes
Mob Spawns
Mob Invasions
Boss Invasions
Event Armours, Weapons, Accessories.
Christmas Tokens??

Possible new maps

what else would you guys like to see??

I, personally, liked the idea that the Halloween event was based on. Halloween looking mobs running around the provinces etc... But maybe with a christmas twist and some additons:

One big Boss (a santa gone bad :P) in selected provinces, spawns every 4? hours - This HAS to take more than 2 or 3 people to kill, make it pretty tough to kill but worth it, try to make it a group boss

Five or Six Semi-Bosses per province that give a chance of good enough drops- Evil Elves or some such (any skin really if you don thave a christmas mob in DB)

If the presence of these bosses will deter smaller people from making the most of event, maybe just designate just the normal mobs to 1 - 40 province and, say, serpent valley or another province

"Normal" christmas mobs that everyone can kill, but a higher rate of these than there were in Halloween as it was annoying running around just to find one or two TrickorTreats at a time

I would like more emphasis on exp on the normal mobs, maybe just leave items to the Boss and semi - bosses. Have these drop ExpBars, Orbs and tokens at a rate you deem acceptable

One big Boss (a santa gone bad :P) < -- love it
Five or Six Semi-Bosses <--- again love it

with regards to the bosses scaring away the noobs, we could make it so the boss doesnt see very far at all - so the noobs could run really close to it and it would fail to see them - something like that.

"Normal" christmas mobs that everyone can kill, <---- How about with this we add in Christmas tokens and there would be a server wide challange to see who could collect the most tokens by the end of the event - the winner could get a prize of some gamegold or something like that?







the problem that usally arises for us is whether to have Lots of mobs spawning with low drop rates orrr not a lot of mobs with good drops.

sooo would you prefer loads of mobs - or better drops?

[Dashiva]

Myslef, I would prefer a large number of easier mobs, with decent exp and lessen the drop rate. It would be much more fun with big lures rather than running around searching! I am not a huge fan of the server wide challenge for amount of tokens, as obviously the level 70 + wizzes will rape this. Or Deity as he won't sleep until event is over :P

loads of mobs and good drops y not make the normal mobs the deers and like christmas trees and elves

[Lone]
