DARK DEMON

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Gratz Mya! [/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] [/color][/font]

[quote name='Dragual' timestamp='1357906352' post='130224'] I've mentioned a War feature which was, not entirely shunned by the community. Actually, I think it was well accepted. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I wonder why my post was shunned [/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] (the one below)[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I suggested to replace it with HC, if possible....[/color][/font] [quote name='DARK DEMON' timestamp='1354877033' post='127772'] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#008000]Wars/Tournaments.[/color][/font] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Everything would be based on a new thing called "Land Influence" or LI. [/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Keep wars (tournaments) of 6 lands (namely Marinds Bell, Loreroot, Golemus Golemicarum, Necrovion, MDA, and East) every 3 months a year, kinda like the heads contest but on a massive scale. A land would get LI for winning these wars. 3 of the strongest fighters from a land would participate. Winning a battle against an opponent would not only increase LI of the respective land but also increase land loyalty (i.e. landscore which reduced AP cost when travelling through a land) by 25 or something like that (can be decided on later). [/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]LI would determine the strength of a land. At the end of the tournament, a win/loss ratio would be used for this. Total LI throughout the realm would be 100%. The land that wins the tournament would have the highest share of that, lets assume it turns out to be 40%. This would mean that the rest of the lands together would have 60% LI, but obviously less each individually. (for example: Necrovion has 40% in this case. Loreroot would have, say 13%, GG would have 9%, MDA might have 13%, East might have 17% and MB might have 8%. All make up 100% together)[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]The land with the highest LI in the realm would gain a certain stat bonus for all its members. Second would get half of that, and so forth.[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]I dunno, just something to encourage activity, teamwork and most of all, competition. Also, I've heard some people say that these days the purpose of lands and alliances has completely degraded and they are nothing more than methods to make walking through the land easier. I want to change that, and I believe this will do that trick.[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]What will this do?[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]1) It will create that "spirit" of teamwork. You'll see people of the same land in groups, learning and training hard together to win the next tournament.[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]2) Competition between lands. The "bragging rights" if you know what I mean [/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]3) Something to attract new players.[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]4) Competition not only on the global level, but within lands too (to become one of the 3 fighters chosen)[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]5).......[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]I'll even state the flaws of this myself if people want to discuss them:[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]1) If a land is too strong, such that there is no competition against it, what then?[/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]2) Would this actually increase a person's loyalty towards his/her land, or decrease it by causing them to switch sides? [/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]3) Such a large update of introducing LI and also organizing such tournaments will take along time to code and be implemented. Why do this when there are still bugs and other problems? (My answer to this would be that it will attract lots of players and increase activity. And I believe that more players and more fun is more important than some bugs which can be tolerated meanwhile.) [/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]EDIT: [/font][/color] [color=#008000][font=comic sans ms,cursive]I thought about the battle system... as far as I think, there would be 3 fighters from each land and 6 lands in total. 2 lands would face each other at a time (obviously) and that would be one round, which means that 3 rounds would take place simultaneously. It would be best if one of the 3 fighters from each land are MP4. Lands have a choice to send whichever player they like (out of the 3 chosen at the start) to fight their opponents. A win would score a point, but no negative points for losing. One by one, all lands would face each other (this will take 4 days if there are 3 rounds per day simultaneously like explained above). To give fighters time to regenerate vitality/talk, the fights in a round can be kept at different times of the day. After the 4 days of contesting, LI will be changed respectively according to who won the wars. This would also mean that it wouldn't matter how badly you got beaten. In a war, the side which wins 2/3 fights would be the winner. If two or more lands win equal number of wars, then yes, the "how badly you lost" part can come into play. [/font][/color] [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]After reading over, I think 4 lands would work, not 6...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]...and twice a year would be best [/color][/font]

[cquote] For the next 7 days every player that thinks he deserves an usable item, a certain spell (doesn't matter if the spell/item functionality exists or not) tag or name change, can request it. We want PERSONAL requests so wanting an item "to help the community" will not be accepted. This is your chance to be selfish. You will also need to provide a good reason for it in order to make the community vote for you - please post on this topic your wishes. Once the time is up, please vote which items/spells should be made. We are looking for a "grading" vote meaning all the requests should be graded (from 1 to n where n is the number of requests and 1 is the highest mark). The first 3 requests with the lowest score (remember that 1 is the highest grade) win and shall be granted. However, we still hold the veto right as certain things cannot be done due to technical restrictions (broken features like mp7), rules (name change that has no base) or simply interference with the currently existing plans. You have 7 days for voting as well. At the end of the 2 weeks please close the thread and we will make a list with the ranking of the wishes. Thank you, MDC [/cquote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I request for an item, "Staff of Restoration", which will restore all resources in the current scene I am on when used. This should have a cooldown of 1 day.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I intend to "cure" depletion using this item.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I also request another item, "The ShadowBlade", a sword which teleports the target to the Trial of Agony and movelocks him/her there for 30 mins when used (like Lock in chaos). This should have a cooldown of 30 days.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I will use this as a weapon to prevent depletion, and for RP-purposes. I already use this sword in role-playing, but so far it's only "imaginary"...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]It may seem weird, and it certainly is saying this, that I've always wanted to be the "Restorer". The whole Death thing was stupid, I know. But this what I've always wanted to be, whereas Death was only for a few days. So please do help, dear Community, to get these items for me. If you all feel I do not deserve these items yet and if I do not get this wish granted, I will struggle and work hard on this role to get them, even if it takes a looong time.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1357892870' post='130195'] Im not entirely sure how you can this with this such certainty when no one has any clue of what it actually is based it. It could be based on that... [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Apologies. Thanks for pointing that out [/color][/font]

[quote name='Menhir' timestamp='1357817781' post='130106'] My opinion on this: I was always against features which supported "player" with more free time than others, in all MMORPGs I ´ve ever played. The more you play the better you`re automatically over time - you don´t need an additional extra bonus for being here. I was here 99% of the last year but I would not like it to get gifts for that. Xmas Gifts are similar but once a year, that´s enough. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Xmas gifts have nothing to do with logging in [b]in a row [/b] [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I'd say it's a small challenge to log in for many days in a row (for many), so it's not like the rewards are given out for free.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]!7! once more [/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I wish I was there [/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Ah, okay Chew [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]And another suggestion... Log-in bonus everyday! (not the minute amount of stats...)[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]This would be for logging in on days [b]in a row[/b].[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Log in for 7 days in a row and get something, maybe [/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]random crit with a little heat and age[/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]. Log in for 2 weeks in a row and get a silver coin perhaps. 3 weeks would give a spell stone, etc. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]And so forth...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]If you do not log in one day, the counting gets reset and you start again from 0 days in a row.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Just like there are empty aramors in GG, there can be "monsters", i.e. players who do not interact, all over No Man's Land.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]They should be set with easy rituals for newbies to attack and train on. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Oh, and they would reset everyday [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Yep, even took a printscreen of that [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Just a question... do you actually get heat raised by 82?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Or does it just show 82 but actually is 80?[/color][/font]

[quote name='Shemhazaj' timestamp='1357556182' post='129889'] [color=#808080][i]for me it says:[/i][/color] [color=#808080][i][heat raise] Heat [b]raised by 80[/b], influenced by viscosity (-80) and land (outland x0.00) [/i][/color] [color=#808080][i]same location, pretty much same time.[/i][/color] [/quote] Happens most of the time for me too, just this once I got -82.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]This is impossible [/color][/font] [img]http://i50.tinypic.com/2u88cjq.jpg[/img] Location viscosity is -80, but "influenced by viscosity" is -82?

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]3 gold then for the Nutcracker [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]2 gold and one silver for the Nutty if Udgard's right [/color][/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]How can you beat the same first guard twice? [/color][/font][/font]

*TV turns on* :Piri! Piriririri! Riri!: *The camera pans in on a news reporter at a desk, as he neatly organizes his papers* Ah! *looks up* Good evening, Civilians of MagicDuel. Investigation has begun on the case of Mr. Archbane. We have a even witness here who claims to have details on who committed the murder. [i][i]"The murderer, who calls himself DARK DEMON, was known to be interested in this Assassination Rope, usually carried about my lashtal.
