my idea of enlightenment - Endless Ages

Killjoy · 07-26-2008, 07:36 AM

i had an idea while bored training

i see that many of endless ages players are older and work... they dont have as much time to play as us youngens (im 16 so kinda young)
and.... i thought that on the weekends there could be a double xp timeframe so they can catch up on the leveling they missed. any kind of xp enhancer.
or an event to win an xp enhancer every weekend and 5 people can win?

or maybe they have a weekend based on ap skills and the next on blob skills where that skill increases faster... like one weekend hiding and ss goes fast and the next reveal and melee do

SO MANY IDEAS

oogie digested my pm yet? i have way more ideas

i see some possibilities here but that is the final say of the DVs but im enjoying the fact that you youngsters are looking out for us oldies LOL

BlanK · 07-26-2008, 09:06 AM

What?? Old people don't exist, they went extint ages ago....

But yea that actually would make a lot of sense. It should definitely be different types of skills every weekend though.

**GM Latnia** · 07-26-2008, 09:35 AM

great idea I will post in my logs today/tonight for review

weekends there could be a double xp time frame so they can catch up on the leveling they missed. any kind of xp enhancer. An event to win an xp enhancer every weekend and 5 people can win?

Why don't you set it up for say SATURDAY and SUNDAY 2X a day for 2 hours each time exp is raised by 25% or even 50%, this way you have 2 times per day for 2 days that you can look forward to a speed lvl for a certain given time. Much easier to set up for the DV's and still not asking for alot of programming changes.

Im 37 yrs. old and completely LOVE this idea!!!

Hellbinder · 07-26-2008, 11:47 AM

all iknow is i got to play yesterday and wanted to level WT some, trying to get from 14-16. after an hour of shooting shipron i gained 4%. That just flat out feels depressing.

i know, i know you cant level to 16 in a couple hours that would be stupid. but it just feels like such a draaaaag. makes me naucious thinking about how much time i am going to have to sit there at my computer doing nothing but hitting reload and aiming at the new boss.

It fully makes me understand why some people cheat.

Remember this isnt just for all people who cannot get on in certain periods of the week. Also latnia there is a problem with your idea of a set timeframe for the 2 days as there are different timezones and some people may not be able to make it on unless they go through the night. I was thinking like the whole of sunday as its the most likely day people would be on (religeous reasons make it so they cant over work people on a sunday i think). and also if its all day then everyone from each timezone can make it...

but the problem with that is people can use it if they do nothing all day to pwn their leveling :S omg nvm im confused :S. well some of my idea makes sense. maybe you guys can understand better than i can O.o

this idea can also take away a bit of the grindy 'second job' part of the game ^^

Maybe every hour or two the type of skills that increase change, maybe for x hours it's geared toward bl and human combat, then for x hours to ap combat, then trade skills and hide and reveal for x hours, or even this week is combat, and it switches between the two, next is trade skills, etc. etc.. The time frame should be small enough so even if you miss it, you won't have to wait too long to start leveling faster, but long enough so you barely notice it. But yea, even with that there's definitely flaws and a chance someone won't get the bonus.

Maybe a check so if you fight the same thing for so long the boost goes away until you're not fighting it for say an hour or so?

Visorak06 · 07-26-2008, 02:35 PM

Claps* Im glad someone is paying attention to those who have a job and such. I personally dont but then again im still in high school lol.

Killjoy · 07-26-2008, 03:38 PM

giving a check would be hard but its a good idea... like they must only use it on the day they are given or it becomes invalid and wont work just so people cant save up for weeks and have like 20 hours of double xp xD

so much potential with this idea...

oogie hurry up and read this so you can post and write a side note saying what you thought of my pm

when you tell me ill give you more ideas i just dont wanna overload you

Nicole · 07-26-2008, 03:46 PM

i like this idea. could be very beneficial to the game. =)
but Killjoy, remember oogie has a life outside of the computer and can't always be here =P

i would suggest just putting your ideas here and see what the community says about them

Renegade · 07-26-2008, 03:47 PM

I like that idea as I really only get the weekends due to work

and I would fall into that older crowed

Vigilant/Futuro · 07-26-2008, 04:21 PM

Great idea, I sure as hell dont have time to play as much as before when i was 17 playing EA. A few hours every week tops due to work related business. However though wouldn't this mean that players that has more time to play will level even faster?

Or have i missed a point here somewhere?

Killjoy · 07-26-2008, 04:47 PM

vigilant that may be so but the players with the more time leveling faster doesent de-benefit you in a way i can think of other than them pking you when they get better... but all you need to do is flash who you really are then they scatter like RAWR!

but in the long run it would benefit you thats what you need to think bout... considering that if your leveling faster then you will be able to own them quicker

if you catch my drift

Vigilant/Futuro · 07-26-2008, 06:23 PM

Yea, i recall your name from before. However dont remember if i were nice to ya or peekay'ed you

I used to help people though atleast since i joined swat

Killjoy · 07-26-2008, 08:29 PM

i dont know if you pked me or not its been too long man i barely even remember that time lol

but it was fun and i remember our pvping i dont know if i won much. probly not ^^

Sumdude · 07-27-2008, 07:05 AM

Here's an idea for an event. If they get the arena map back in, and it becomes a non drop free for all pvp map as proposed, then maybe every Saturday hold a spawn event in there. First, everyone who wants to participate, portal in, then the portal is closed and the spawns start. Not a mass spawn for fun and a few good drops, but rather something to challenge the players. If the players succeed in killing everything, EA gets 2 hours of double xp or something.

Killjoy · 07-27-2008, 08:55 AM

sumdude in my opinion i dont really like the idea... the whole idea and thread came from me thinking about how quite alot of players only have a limited time frame to play and they wouldnt want to spend it 'working' towards getting a double xp.

they would rather get on and just level. well atleast these are my thoughts

Sumdude · 07-27-2008, 01:54 PM

Well, xp isn't free either. The spawns shouldn't be so hard that it's rarely completed (that means no datro), but rather a moderately hard task before the increased xp. Besides, a grision orb pwns all the rune bosses, and I don't think spawning 50 tilidions would fit in as well as that first spawn event. (but a few at the end would be ok)
