Events

[Arsen]

i know there r like 10 billion threads about it. but iam enough pissed right now to write a new thread. add more no tourney events, its getting really strange. most of the time i logg in i have to wait 17+hours for an event and tourneys r dominating those. i know there is a handfull ppl who bitch or will bitch again about this thread but i rlly dont care that much. all i say is 2008-2009 500+ clients on when there was way way more events out. ppl who r only able to play like 2+ hours per day are automaticly fuc*ed. derrick,yoda or who ever is able to fix that please add more non tourney events (ctf,dd,bagball"yoda",survive,monster bash-town invasion). i rlly dont see the need in reducing things ppl enjoy here to 95%.
almost every person i know since i started here is mostly inactive or quit because they r borred as hell. again plz fix it. and dont let it get tons of pages until we give it up again for a other six months.
ty much,
arsen and community

if you are against more none tourney events, please tell us why. no trolls plz

i think if you don't like events, then you should not go and not complain about additional non tournament events
all the popular servers have events, and some have events every hour; i think it would be great to increase ctf/bagball/survival for people who enjoy non tournament events so they can actually attend them without waking up at all odd hours, or waiting days to attend and event

i have not yet been able to attend a bagball in the 10 months ive played

i think i have only seen two games at times that were no good for me

[Sandro]

Agreed with Arsen

Either restore them to their natural run times or remove them completely..

What's the point of pushing all events to 12:00am - 5:00am (EST, for me) when nobody even shows up, anyways? A couple weeks ago I actually saw a tournament with only 1 participant, and the guy automatically won. Can somebody tell me the point in that? Why host events during times that we obviously know nobody/minimal people will attend.

[Arsen]

again to the 2 ppl who did vote for no. dont be so ignorant and let us know why.
ty much

[LifeForce]

i really do not get why we need yet another thread on this topic. the pros and cons for both sides of the argument have been discussed ad nauseum. so i suggest everyone uses the search function and only posts here when they have new insights to offer.

i go first...

I voted no (just now).

My reasons:
1. Automated events happening in a trammy zone and giving away free trammel silver with zero risk to participants is not only inaccurate, it is completely against T2A. If events require some sort of player investment and/or risk, I may be for them.

2. There are much more important issues that the staff should focus on without wasting time developing new event types. The dexxer inaccuracies (whatever they may be), for example. Core features of T2A.

[xevec]

I voted Yes, but would like to see more town invasions and monster bashes where there is risk.
Also how bout more events like the Arrest Chumbucket event?

[Pringles]

I voted no, because I think players should interact more with eachother to get action going and not rely on the staff for some fun.

[Ronk]

FYI: I am looking for a tower or preferably a keep to set up as an event staging area. The location is important but obviously I would have to find something affordable.

Provided I can get it up and running and there is interest, I plan for it to host auctions (like old school rojo diablo auctions). Tournaments. Sieges (if its a keep). Have rentable vendor space. Rentable space in general. And more. Also, it won't be "orc run".

So on the topic of events...there are definitely people interested in hosting them.

[McSchnurke]

I'm with Ronk and Pringles. Wouldn't it be possible to move the auto-events into the actual game world, though? What's wrong with that?

Then you'd be bitching because you keep losing your stuff at events so why bother playing?
The mortality rate in games like CTF are simply too high to have a loss of items. Plus, then you would need to add a bank so that you could restock items, which would take time and prevent people from actually playing. And who cares about trammy pixel crack? Some people enjoy it. Not everyone on the shard is all "kill everything that moves or get out". I don't pvp/pvm. I run a shop and deco my house. Why? Cause pvp/pvm bores me now after doing the same thing for 12 years.

Each person has their own playstyle. Just because they don't play the same way you do doesn't make them wrong.

2. There are much more important issues that the staff should focus on without wasting time developing new event types. The dexxer inaccuracies (whatever they may be), for example. Core features of T2A.

And they do. But who are you to say what they should and shouldn't be doing? If they want to spend some time on a new event, then that's their choice. It's their game.

It would get trolled continuously. Heck, you can't even have player events on this shard without it getting interrupted by people who want to ruin the fun of others.

Why can't you just let us have our fun by ruining your fun? It's more important that we have fun than you.

Yeah, this is era accuracy! We've got an endless SotR debate because the patch notes aren't understood perfectly and most of us think melee is broken. All I see here is era accuracy this and era accuracy that. I wanna see the patch notes for the OSI auto-events. Show me that and I'll change my mind about events and quit being sad that I can't compete as a dexxer.

Also, there was obviously a lot of work put into the events in Trammel. If we put in the brainstorming hours I'm sure we'd be able to come up with non-Trammy events that would work efficiently and effectively. At the least I think there should be more in Britannia or the lost lands. I'm not saying remove all events like some have suggested in the past and I'm not trying to take away your CBDs. All I'm saying is that we could theoretically have auto-events and no Trammel instances and it's worth some thought.
