I wish...

Post by Kenekeo »

Request for a Group dungeon/event. (I know it sounds like a WoW instance and the coding will be horrible to create. However, I can wish)

Could we get a dungeon that requires a party of at least four people to enter it? Have it kind of like Doom’s Gauntlet and Felucca Wrong dungeon into one. Here my suggestions;

1. Requires a party of at least 4 people to be form – ie a Portal check to make sure there is a party formed, and no pets. The Portal would be somewhere that is markable (having to run to Felucca to meet up and group up, would discourage the usage of the dungeon).
2. Before and inside the dungeon, pets cannot be summoned.
3. The Dungeon could be layered out like a series of 4+ rooms.
4. Each room would have group of mobiles which would have to be cleared before the next door will open. No respawning
5. As the group progresses the mobiles get harder and more would spawn.
6. The Mobiles could range from normal or paragons or maybe a Peerless boss at the end or whatever. It all could be random spawns, so people don’t know what is coming (like a +Veritas event  ).
7. In the last room, there is a treasure chest (locked) with varies loot and gold to be shared by the party at the end.
8. Once a person complete the dungeon Challenge. They cannot do it again for another 23 hours. 23 hours due to possible server reset and save delay. And if a person doesn’t complete the dungeon, and tries to join another party, the new party would have to start where that last person left off. To help prevent farming of mobs etc.

The dungeon design idea is similar like Prism of Light. However, if we make that pets can’t be use and a party is required to enter then maybe we can have more of an endgame established.

My reasoning: there are too few concepts in the game that requires any teamwork. Champions, Harrowers, Peerless, and Doom gauntlet are the only features that are designed for teamwork. However, those features are also over worked, camped, competed and argued about the most. If people had a chance to enter a dungeon privately as a group without worry of interruptions, maybe we could encourage more team play. Therefore, guilds could setup an event for themselves. I just feel events like these are great for bringing people together for more than just afking at banks, etc.

btw: will Ice dungeon in Felucca ever open up again? I miss that place :)

I like the idea, and I like the idea of it being used for guild events. Maybe some of the rewards/loot could be something specifically for lower level guildmates. Something for vets in the loot but also something to help the new guy. That way the vets will have some incentive for going through it with younger players.

But if you need to party to do it then i wouldn't be able to solo it.... and it should be in fel. All good things should be in fel.

go back to playing WoW. no kidding if you really need to be in a party well that counts me out. also, people will be fighting over spawn rights and blah so forth and blah. oh wait that's like champ spawns. same 4 people running around in there camping the loot. yeah it's bad to contend with standing in line for 1 spawn to pop with 1 person in front of you but now your saying waiting in line for a spawn with 4 people in front of ya.

you can always party up to go hunting. kill some crystal hydras they are hard but beatable, also no pets?

to do so forces you to a different game play... a party game play which a lot of the vet don't use. then again maybe i could join a party then leave the party to kill solo :)

Well I have never played WOW, and amitidly there is a portion of the normal UO experiance missing from our shard. The motivation that drives ppl to hunt together. I mean ppl used to get together to go hunt pargon anchien wyems. now you can just kill them yourself as you read the news. I don't want everything to change but a place where team/ hunting partys get to funtion/ be needed I think is a good Idea.

I like this idea maybe one reward could be the flag or banner the NPC is holding at brit bank but with awardes guild color and name on it?Kinda worthless but neat imo.
HACKSAW
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
