Suggestions & Ideas / Bounties

« on: March 07, 2013, 07:38:24 pm »

Ok, i had been thinking about this for a while and I just happen to have been discussing with Xeriuth this idea.

Bounties could be a fun global quest, increasing rewards for harder mobs to find and/or kill (similar to the cosmo canyon fighting arena meets roger young).  Here are just a few ideas I had about how to implement them...

1- Have a bounty hunter somewhere in space or in star wars who gives you these global contracts around all 4 dimensions.  He can move as he is also a bounty hunter off killing for rewards.  You kill the target, you bring him what he's looking for (head, item, whatever), and he rewards you.

2- Rewards range from low gold/statted equipment to much gold, tokens, and good equipment, etc (anything really that fits into these things)

3- First bounties are mobs with specific names and locations.  As you get higher up as a bounty hunter, you get higher level mobs to kill, assignments with no specific names, only descriptors and general locations, riddles/clues to find them, etc.

4- One specific idea for a harder mob... this person was seen fleeing into the mosh pit at the punk rock concert.  they had green hair and a small tattoo on their back shoulder. (or something very discrete)... wander into the mosh pit and there are tons of people, you have to find the right person matching all the clues.  Attack one, everyone else flees (is purged) so its just you and this person.  Hopefully you are killing the correct one because the rest are gone and you have to wait if you mess it up to try again.

5- imms can also use the bounty hunter to do a current global quest that mentions any given mob in the game to pit players against each other to compete for the mob's scalp (like zedd but for killing).  could also be fun because players would all be there trying to kill the mob, but also killing each other to claim the scalp.  (could temporarily make the mob's room an arena until the mob dies)  Again, the bounty hunter (as played by an imm, RP leader, Hero) can give either clues or a specific mob/location

thats all for now.  ready, set, discuss!

I didn't get capitalized?  What do you mean, Jaros?

Also, I've been here since around the middle of 2000 or so.

If people are worried about abuse. Then simply can add a lock to it, a way for hero's or imms to blacklist people who abuse the machine.

We still have heros?  Why?

As someone who DID participate in the socials contest, I think its a good idea!  And jaros is right, it's not going to cause any problems, just perhaps make some people some money and give more interaction as opposed to non-targeting emotes and poses.

After 50 remorts on one race, you could be 'reborn' into another race and start collecting races like you do with classes.  Then maybe you could get the bonuses of each race on top of the bonuses for each class.  I start as a spacewolf and complete 50 remorts.  Then I am reborn as an elf.  I could keep whatever dam bonus perk a spacewolf gets, but then also have the stats of an elf as i am that class.  Say i complete another 50 remorts and turn into a gringo.  Then I get the perks of spacewolf and elf, but now i also have gringo stats.

I guess in doing this, you'd be reset to tier 1 level 1 with 0 remorts each rebirth, and would essentially have to reach GM and get to 50 remorts.  This way though, you're collecting race stats as opposed to just adding bonus points to already buffed stats, and you're starting over which helps level the playing field a little bit for newer characters.  Although, being reborn, you should get to keep everything you earned up to this point.

Also, this would give us a chance to look at races and make them a bit more unique if need be.

I'm not going to mention any names, but someone said something like this online yesterday about this topic...

If you're getting anywhere close to 500 remorts, its not 4D that needs incentives, its real life.

I've been around 10+ years, and for you to call us lazy for not getting over 100 is actually a little sad...

Now that timers actually work and things crumble when they're supposed to, that fixes part of the problem.  But there are still artis on people who are never going to log in and have their equipment crumble, which causes a problem.  Unless you don't have to be online for them to crumble, in which case, ignore anything after sentence 1.  Hell, you can probably just ignore this post all together, I'm sick and half asleep while I'm writing this.

Does cybering with one's self count?

It depends on what you mark for the poll

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Some thoughts about Clans in 4D

« on: July 23, 2011, 08:30:48 pm »

Yes, it helps retain newbies because it makes sure the current CL is actually active!  It also rids clans from having too many unnecessary CLs.  Which in turn means those people have normal (clanname) flags in the who list.

Also, please scrap Retired CL flag, no need for it!  With as few people as there are, we dont need tons of CL and Retired CL flags flying around.  One or two CL and everyone else as normal members will just make the clans look bigger. 

Its like getting a physical from a doctor with small hands... *cough*
