TOURNAMENTS

[Xanaroth]

i heard this great idea on another topic.

The devs should every once in a time make a tournament, players only ofcourse:P, in what we would have to fight eachother, or complete a certain quest that only 1 person can complete, the fastest to do it would be the winner.

PvP
in this you would get a tournament like idea, people fight eachother, loser dies and gets kicked out of the tournament and winner goes on to fight another winner. The last one standing, who wins the final, will get to choose a weapon or armor or so piece that is powerfull and rare: only 1 made since it is tournament price. And then you could chose between a weapon, or certain pieces of armor, and then you could have 1 of them as victory price.

Quest
On a day suddenly a giant dragon appears herasing the cities. The person that manages to give the final blow to the dragon, not the one that does most damage, but the final blow. The person that does this will right away find a dragon hide or so in his inventory. When he brings this to the devs in the city, he would be granted a piece of armor from that dragon leather, also a one of a kind with special power.

Rewards.
I was thinkin about you could chose a weapon, armor, shield, helm or leg armor.

Weapon.
The devs dice what, a sword, mace, axe, staff, etc. that will be the weapon you can choose from.

Armor.
a light, medium of heavy armor piece for torso.

Shield.
Also 1 shield from 1 of the classes; small medium or large.

Leg armor.
What is says, leg armor, also light, medium or heavy.

From each there will be choosen 1 price; 1 weapon, 1 armor etc. and the winner will then be granted 1 of these, ofcourse, the winner may choose himself.

plz give me some feedback about what you think and about what could be changed.

Feedback there are no dragons in PS nor will there ever be one, I did not make this up but the devs have said no dragons because they are over used in other games. So no dragons for you.

[Xanaroth]

i just used it as an example, of course it could also be other creatures or something else like a evil king.
it are just examples, the devs can change it of course, but i simply used it to clearify my point.

[Watcher]

Ok I understand now

Btw for anyone intrestied I have foudn the quote proving no dragons

We don\'t plan to make dragon, but your idea will work on more interesting beast.
We will not focus on classic ideas.

Xanaroth you heard that idea from me on the Rare Weapons topic... or was it that other topic...

[Xanaroth]

yep, the rare weapons topic. just worked it out a little but more.

[Deddarus]

when established the AGES guild will host various tourneys etc with prizes.... we will also take bets on the outcome

events should include:

Gladiator fights (pvp) of various varieties - mixed weps, no weps, wep categories, magic, etc

animal fights (enter your trained pet and it it against other peoples pets or wild animals the guild has found)

player vs animal fights

gauntlets (race through a variety of traps etc)

possibly quests (depends on whether we can make em scure without the almighty power of a gm)

[Xanaroth]

hmmm... why would you host tournaments yourself? you would also have to get the prices yourself, making every price you can win there, also available on a other location, but where you would have to fight weaker monsters/people or maybe even nothing, cause anything brought in for price, would make clear there is a stronger person then what guards the price outside of the tournament, so you would have to fight stronger enemies inside of the tournament to get something then those outside of it.

[Deddarus]

ok... erm... btw i assume by price u mean \'prize\'

yeah.. u could get the prize item outside of the tourney... but i dont like the idea of only being able to get certain items from a tourney...

also... yes.. if there was a single item in the prize that could be obtained through fighting then u might as well go fight... but if there were a number of items it may well be easier to obtain them thru tourneys

additionally... tourneys (at least gladiator tourneys) would involve pvp... which should be quite different to monster bashing... therefore someone who is good at pvp may not get the best loot cos they gotta get it 2nd hand.. + a lot of ppl wont take their best items into a scenario where it can be looted from them

im not saying dont have uber GM run tourneys that give extremely spiffy prizes... im just saying that i plan to have guild hosted tourneys regardless of whether there are GM ones or not

[Xanaroth]

srry, it is prize yeah... i aint a brit or american, so my english isn\'t the best thinkable:)

[DepthBlade]

We definately need a survivor tournament last man standing or last team standing on island covered in monsters/human opponents

[Dalec]

I\'d like to see some tourneys involving skill and intellect as well, instead of just having the highest lvl character with best items winning. There could be min-game tournaments (if they include them) like for card games, or things you have to figure out (like a hide and seek) so that any player could have a fair chance in winning.

[Deddarus]

AGES would be happy to host gambling tourneys (having a deck of cards for poker.. and maybe some chips would help)

also i would like to be able to safely host the following:

Treasure hunts
Quiz nights at the local tavern
craft/fight combo tourneys (each player is given a set amount of basic resources + has to make their own weapons... then fight with them)

etc etc

once we have the functionality i will look further into what ppl would enjoy

for the meantime u can post any suggestions that u would like AGES to consider in the forums at http://agesforums.suddenlaunch.com/

[Xanaroth]

and how were you planning that into time? If you want good tourneys you would have to do it when most people can be online. Meaning not late in the evening, not in the night and not in the morning. How were you planning to do that? or were you going to do a touney muliple times a day so everyone could join.

[Deddarus]

we would host tourneys when the player count tends to be highest... (thus more income for us thru bets)

however as the guild population rises i see no reason why guildmembers of different time zones couldnt host their own tourneys (I used to be a GM and hosted an awfull lot of tourneys by myself... its not hard)... in fact Master Accountants (LVL5) have hosting events in their job description.
