Server Daily

Normally I am opposed to things like this, but with the right amount of tweaking, I could see the potential benefits. It would take a lot of work on the staff's end to come up with monster ranges for every player, daily, without repeating too often. But it would be nice for unfunded new players, people who like exploring, and people who enjoy questing more than training. As long as it isn't too OP, I am open to the idea.

 

What is the difference between this and most/all of the quests that come with the game?

 

Or..someone who is knowledgeable on all training spots for all level ranges make a guide. If someone asks either redirect them to the forum or tell them yourself.
There's no reason to put the admins to extra coding work when a much simpler alternative can be made.

Or a command taking your level range into account and answering it for you. Not quite as much coding. Simple if s

Say....level 10 mage...
@training
HH1, Slime tree (obviously with map names)

 

There's a crap-ton (<- that's an official term of measurement) of quest in the game already, I see where you're coming from but there are resources everywhere to find out where to train/ quest/ etc. So I don't see the point in spoon-feeding information.

 

Latte has a point. I take back my idea on the command. There is always obtainable information. If you can't get it that way, then ask. =/

 

I disagree completely. This sounds like a great idea, but all the servers that have tried something like this (sorry Adam!) haven't pulled it off.

 

Wot lol, Kalyb/I have never done anything like this. ._.

 

I'm thinking of the monthly scavenger hunt

 

This could be kind of fun. There are many possibilities. Although, I have to say that "beat up 100 of these things" quests are not so fun. Jump quests are probably my favorite. I think that a lot of time would need to be dedicated to make this work well. It makes me feel like like this is much better off as one-off monthlies or even bi-monthlies that go for a day or one week. I guess I have stepped into the territory of events, so I'll just say that I do not think that dailies could be kept fresh enough to warrant the creation of such a system.

Also, it would be nice if any special quests that are added to the game involve the community in some way. I didn't play in Royals for very long, but I enjoyed their GM events while I was there.

 

That has worked though, for nearly 2 years now lol. At least it's gone fairly well throughout that time, it wasn't even intended to be a routine thing until the robot became the event GM back in the day. ._. Though one thing that could fall under your example would have been the last 2 revamps of the event bosses that the robot did, we both can agree that shit didn't work out so well lmao.

OT: Idea sounds interesting, it reminds me a bit of something similar that was done on a now defunct server years ago. Though considering how Kimmy wants Legends to be like, I'm not sure how far this idea will go since that particular idea would be in the custom territory.

 

Would you be willing to exchange the picture for a black outline and call it "Who's that monster"?

 

The main thing that I was referring to about the scavenger hunt was that it just felt like an annoying grind that people did just for the rewards. But we can build on that and mix it in with a mechanic from later versions of GMS, like v75 or some tits like that. Gonna tag @Navi on this so he gets pinged.

It would be interesting to see something like Adam's scavenger hunt, but you hand in the items to the event NPCs in Orbis, Henesys, Lith Harbour and somewhere else. But instead of doing a boring grind on boring monsters, you could make it so all monsters have a certain chance of dropping one specific item, and you need a handful of them to hand in to the NPC. Maybe it could be something super rare, where you have to collect 10 of them in the whole month or something like that. That could be a good idea so that it doesn't take up so many slots of your inventory.
In order to stop people from just grinding at HHG with mob skills in order to get all the items, we could combine something from the later GMS versions, that they used for medals: You could make it so only monsters within a few levels of you (+/- 5? 8?) will drop the item when you kill it.
It would also be interesting to see the drop rate tied with the monster's HP/DEF to EXP ratio. That way people won't be deterred from grinding at high HP/high EXP monsters.

Just my 3 cents.

 

Fixed.
