Many interesting ideas in that post Once.
Some things I want to comment on from the past few posts.
1: Deed List. This sort of goes along with what Molly was saying, and with what I was saying on Viri's original post of deeds. First, I like having a master deed list, as well as a clan deed list. What I said I wanted to see (and it seems others agree) is who in each clan got the deed. I know Loran and I have been sort of competing against each other within the clan... friendly competition is great! I suggest the following:
Show Deed <clan name>
Deeds Collected by <Clan Name>: <number of deeds>
- <Deed Name> <Who Collected it>
- <Deed Name> <Who Collected it>
.
.
.
This shows a number without having to go through and count them all, as well as who in the clan put that deed in the box last.
Show Deed All would show something similar to what there is now. You probably don't necessarily need the actual person who collected the deed in this list. The number would be nice, but again, not necessary if you can see it in 'show deed <clan>'
2: I think deeds should not reset every so often. It should be a constantly ongoing thing. You should either reclaim the deed through the zone, or through a clan raid (when those become an option). The zone flag idea once posed is an interesting one. But I think that excludes a large portion of the pbase (which isnt that big to begin with). Perhaps something else that would accomplish the same effect? Also, not all zones with deeds have zone flags, so it wouldn't always work.
3: Whats wrong with adding some perks to the grindfest? Grinding sucks, that much is certain. At least NOW there is a little bit of incentive to grinding. I think its sometimes a good thing to add a feature that try to help boost our weaknesses (grinding). We just need to make sure there is enough of a bonus to make the deeds through grinding worth it.
Newbies and non-newbies who still want to level automatically participate in deed collection through leveling. The extra xp that we get now for owning a deed is tailored for these players. Although oldbie have the current advantage of earning more deeds, at this time, oldbie participation has to come out of the goodness of their heart to help their fellow clannies as the xp perk isnt really helpful to them. This is where the milestone idea should come in. The milestones that will provide some buffs and extra stuff is the incentive for the oldbies as well as noobs. Bonus damage, spells (innates?), stat boosts, etc. Different things at different levels. The higher the number, the better the milestone boost. My question... should they stack? So if a clan gets to 40 and you get a milestone every 20, do you get both milestone from 20 and 40, or does the 40 replace the 20? I seem to think the stacking is preferable, but thats my opinion.
The extra gold bonus is a little pointless now too just b/c there is no use for gold. Hopefully that will change with raids.
4: I dont find there to be any need for global announcements for deed shifts. I guess i don't mind it, but if you go that route, at least add a toggle to turn it on/off.
I'm sure some of this post is a little nonsensical as I am currently very distracted, so for that I apologize. However, the points should be clear enough to understand.
