Level 50 free for all pvp arena match in pocket d, tonight at 7pm with huge influence prizes.
Both new pvpers and experienced pvpers WILL be there.
If you want to use a villain thats ok, but will have to give you the prize fund (if you win) to one of your heroes. NO restrictions = max chaos.

Enjoy

(edit: Sorry about lack of details there, but in a rush today )

Us illusion/rads would still destroy ya

I think the prize money is to much!

1st 10,000,000 (ten mil)
2nd 5,000,000 (five mil)
3rd 1,000,000 (1 mil)

Thats plenty really!

[/ QUOTE ]

If im completely honest, iv got the influence prizes at such a high level to try and create more of a "competition" feel to it. If i did put the prizes at a reasonably low level then;

A) Not as many people would turn up because these days you can earn **** million quite easy on a high level
B) Some of the events will feel more real and thrilling if everybody really wants to win For example the skyway city dash (since most people seem most interested in that one), that one is going to be the most thrilling because everybody has an equal chance to win.

As much as i would love to be able to keep the influence low (would hold it today otherwise ), its just a fact that a competition with higher/better prizes will get more participants than a lower competition.

Just my attempt to try get a large group of players together again and have a good genuine laugh

(also if this one goes well i'll more than likely hold a winters game event, depending on whether the feedback from event 1 onwards is good and the ski slope re-opens or not )

Does this count as a form of advertising?

I miss the days you could join a PUG in the hollows and one of the members was a lvl 50 exemp'in down

If you die the enemy takes a salvage off YOU!!!!

I'll pop in at the evening time most likely, will try get a few people from the supergroup in there too

[ QUOTE ]
Question - Would the Skulls event be limited to outdoor mobs, or do missions count too? as this would disadvantage casual players completely, as 8 man farm teams could easily get over 1m skulls (or more) in a 24 hr period?
Answer - You can't differentiate between the two, without having the devs alter the game coding for the day. Farmers will prevail on that mission, so that's one that I won't even attempt to start.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wanted to have a mixture of events that some low levels will win and some higher levels will win. For example a low level character is going to win the skyway city dash while a high level character is almost certainly going to win the Skulls event. I am going to be very interested to see what the highest skull figure is just to see how badly someone wants that influence

hehe well i havent exactly got a farming toon I use my main, my illusion/rad troller so not exactly the best to farm with . . . . . . . although i do have a secret great method/mission to have 3 npc characters clear the map for me *gasps at the secret*

[ QUOTE ]
I wonder if there couldn't be a sort of swimming event the winning being the first to get the Whitecap badge and return to a given point. Perhaps from Rikti Hill next to the station in Talos to the White Cap badge and back.

Unsure what level or restrictions though. Level 14 means no swimming (all have tarvel powers, but lower levels might not be able to get to Talos.

One restriction would have to be that you don't have the white cap badge. Only problem I can see is I'm not sure there's enough danger.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did think of a swimming relay in Perigine island where you have to swim PAST monster island and back. The danger wouldv been either take the safe route around the island (and thus a slower time) or risk going through it (and if you survived a better chance of winning), however due to work hours and time with gf i can only raise roughly 150 mill per week on casual play.
If by the end of it all i find i still have spare cash then i'll make an announcement a week or two prior to it. Wouldnt be until august that though (IF it happens).

[ QUOTE ]
I think I may be the only one, but I'm starting to get annoyed by constant Rikti spam wherever I go. How long is this going on for?

I know some people may wish to argue, but hey, it's my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

i kind of agree, i like the invasions dont get me wrong just wish they were spread out more instead of every 5 minutes (well thats what it feels like )

[ QUOTE ]
It would be nice if we got a quick overview of all ongoing events when you log on with a character (just a simple if-event then-notify check on all the possible events just after MOTDs etc.) Another small QoL feature please devs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Would this be worth it though really? AFAIK most events dont last that long.

[ QUOTE ]
Only thing that came to my mind is about quoted part. Siphon Speed anyone? It can be gained on a Kinetic Defender at lvl 6 which is one level lower than Super Speed. I think you should not allow this power to be used. If this will be seen as cheating you better point that out.

[/ QUOTE ]
This power should be fine, since the mobs on the bridge will be around lvl 15 and ur only lvl 6. So first you need it to hit, GL with that at lvl 6 on a +9, and even if it does hit your most likly gonna die from the agro, so yea GG

I will definitely be showing up at a few of these events, more the pvp ones then anything but ill be there

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't think of that. So better give up Kin defender idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe, was actually hoping some players would try that 2bh. Tested it out and well lets just say the 15 times i did attempt it . . . . it never worked (well apart from one but then got hit running ).

I know there are powers out that that WILL give players advantages over others but each advantage will have its own drawback.

Stealth - You wont die, but unless everybody else dies along the way you wont have the speed to win.
PFF - AFAIK theres still a chance for their attacks to hit through (will test the ratio against those mobs tonight)
Swift - Figure every1 will take this 2bh
AM - This is the only power atm im thinking of banning, although i suppose the drawback is that your buffing everybody else around you.
Trick Arrow Flash - Even though its auto hit and a good way to negate agro, i think the cast time will be too much of a downside to let that person anywhere near the top 10.

[ QUOTE ]
Why is end at maximum in Point to Prove? This makes my best PvP character a whole lot less effective.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im always up for ideas on how to improve each event if the playerbase thinks it would be for the better. The point you mentioned was because i personally feel it would be more fun if the battle was constant and thus the more experienced pvpers would have less downtime to regain their health. Of course if enough people think i should remove that then i'ld be more than happy too.

As a side note, theres going to be mini events just for fun after each main event. These will consist mainly of;

*hellion repel football
*GM hunt
*Mothership Raid
*Zonal pvp event
*Auction house lottery (will bid £10 million on a rubbish no bids item at a set time)
*Plus many more we'v got lined up throughout the events.

Mender Silo's first 3 missions:

Arachnos enemies

Help from manticore (for players who need that extra help)

Good drop rate (especially the striga part - 2nd mission)

On my ill/rad without taking drops into account on solo its roughly 1.2 mill per 10 mins (run through the 3 maps, quit tf, repeat). Selling each enhancement at the ouroborus stores = roughly 100k, plus the generic recipes do too.


Not the best map/tactic for farming, but for people with slow computers who cant team as much i do suggest this tactic.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm probably going to get lynched for this.... but.. Implement negative XP for defeat, and de-levelling!

[/ QUOTE ]

Dont even go there, i'ld be level 1 again so fast my 70 second chilli hot rustler burger (which btw is now a special £1 bargain in a supermarket near you) wouldnt even be finished.

QR

I gave up on a couple of old toons back in the days of super debt because due to being a new player back then i thought i'ld never clear it. Do agree they need to raise the debt again though, not as high as it used to but a nice middleground.

[ QUOTE ]
Entered. Though if I win, I'll probably keep some of the innards, and donate the casing. I mean, do you know how hard it is to (pretend to) keep white things clean?

[/ QUOTE ]

Give it back to NC so they can auction it off at the next player meet? Bound to raise a fortune.

[/ QUOTE ]

Charity begins at home I just want the case hehe

ill/rad
mind/ta

Entered

[ QUOTE ]
Hehe, well this certainly looks like fun and I hope I can get in on some of these events.

The Skyway City Dash Of Doom sounds like it will be just as much fun to watch as to participate in X3

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe yup Going to be lots of screenshots (with captions) from that event let me tell you. Nothing says youv earned that influence than a trail of defeated heroes behind you.

[ QUOTE ]
perhaps our GR could dip into the chest and help some?



[/ QUOTE ]

Well thats the guaranteed amount of influence i can earn up to then, will almost certainly rise by hopefully 100mill per event. But not saying exact increased figures until the day Better to have people suprised the prize is bigger than they thought than to have less than i promised

Hello and welcome to the paragon city european official forums.
Quite a lot lately i have been asked whether my summer event the "hero olympics" was still going ahead. Well if im honest i was thinking about not doing it last week due to two of my influence helpers pulling out. However due to the number of people that did ask me to go ahead with it, and still hearing the crowd ask for more events i have decided to do the event with 100% my own influence (although any extra given is welcome ).
Originally the event was planned for July 21st - July 27th as a week long event, but i have now decided to spread out the events so i can bring it forward a bit.
The following are the events that are CONFIRMED with their relevant details/rules/dates etc. If you want to request any events of your own for either myself or yourself to create then feel free to PM me to add to the list. (all events will be held on union server)

A Point To Proove.

Players will start at a designated starting point on the overpass and have to RUN to the finishing line. Fastest player wins. However paragon police have stated that there has been a high number of clockwork/trolls/lost lately on the bridge and have warned skyway hospital that most heroes will NOT survive it. There will be a number of people watching over this event to make sure no cheating goes on, if it does . . . . your out. Peacebringers/warshades not allowed. All other powers are.

2nd place = 50 million influence
3rd place = 25 million influence

Bow before the king/queen!

Date: 20th July

He's a what what of a what what?

Date: 27th July
Time: 7pm
Information: Hamidon has been spotted in paragon city?! Yes thats right and its up to its finest heroes to take hami down once and for all. Only recently thought of this event due to a number of players saying they missed raids in the memories thread. No actual prizes except for the HO's, just thought it'ld be nice to finally organise one.

Lost and Found

Date: 31st July
Time: 00:01am to 11:59pm
Information: This event will officially start as soon as soon as thursday hits. A player (myself for the main duration) will go hide himself at a specified location (will PM the location to ghostraptor so theres no "i looked there though ") and clues will be sent out on the global channel (or the forums, depending whether im allowed that) once an hour. For example if i decided to hide myself near the terra volta nuclear station, one of the clues could be

"Every hero that comes here shows nothing but respec".
As time passes on the clues would get more detailed. Winner is the person who finds me first. (will be on maxed out hide so no1 can cheat)

Prizes:
Winner = 200 million influence

*Note this event hasnt been confirmed, need a DEFINITE number of people to say yes to go ahead with this*

Date + Time: To be confirmed
Information: An arena european championship knockout round. Depending on size of people that turn up it will be either of the following.
1) 4 vs 4 Team knockout rounds: A standard winner advances to the next round style tournie with the winners each receivin a high payout. The team that finishes second will receive a much lower payout obviously.
2) Group stages of hell: If a lot of people are up for this, then its a duo competition. Teams (with names please) will be placed into groups (group A, group B etc) by random with the top 2 teams advancing from each group into the knockout stages. If there is a draw between 2nd/3rd then a final winner takes all will take place between the two to determine who qualifies. Teams are allowed ONE substitute player. Level not decided on this until i know people want to do this, will leave up to the majority to decide the level restriction.

Go.Hunt.Kill.Skulls

Date: August 3rd
Time: 00:01 until 23:59
Information: Dont you really hate skulls? I mean come on they do nothing but wreck kings row and perez. So now its time we did something about it. Whoever kills the most Skulls during that time period wins. This will be judged via the city terminals scattered around the city. No level restrictions

Prizes:
1st place = 300 million influence (due to the length of time this could possibly take)
2nd place = 100 million influence
3rd place = 50 million influence

*phew* ok that is all that i can handle at the moment. Once again i am open to people adding their own events to these so long as they accept responsibility for it (i will be happy to provide funding though). To tell me about the event you wish to enter then either PM me ALL the details about it on these forums or you can contact me ingame via @Damz
Will be contacting a certain player now shortly to see whether they are still up for advertising/participating on air.

Hope you can all make it because it WILL be fun.

(had to lower the influence prizes from what i said last time due to sponsors pulling out)

With yet even MORE anti farming/anti abusive (i mean cummon people, friendly abusive is fun!) posts around again, im just wondering how people think the game SHOULD be played?

According to people there should be:

*No Farming
*No Fast levelling past the lvls youv done a million times
*No filling the market with a ton of items you deem useless
*No Overpaying an item YOU want because it makes it harder for others.
*No smacktalk in pvp zones/arena
*No PUG's
*No playing to your strengths in teams, you MUST listen to whatever the captain says at all times regardless whether theyr right or wrong.
*No moaning on the forums (does this count as a moan? hehe)
*Everyone should leave the mechs in RV alone until i let them have it.
*More penalties for death even though a lot of people complain when they do currently die (im pro more penalties btw, debt needs to be doubled at least).
*No farmers in the game because they ruin the late lvls for us because the devs nerfed the family!!! Farmers screwed the TRUE players of the game! Yet afaik isnt there just the ONE family mish?
*People should only use atlas broadcast to say when theyr lft or to announce important things, doesnt matter that some people use it to start a convo off in the zone and to make new friends. We have to play the way THEY want too.

Feel free to add you own hehe

Oh and for all the people that do think they play the game "properly" . . . . . . . . how'd you fund your latest toons? Did you sell that hami goo for (now) 700k? or that rare recipe for a few mill? because thats down to farmers too you know

/endrant

aarrgghhhhh!!!!

/seriouslyendrantnow

*runs into room with popcorn*

What no flamewars yet?

I wouldv probs let him kill me once if i was in the zone but i wouldnt go outta my way to help someone like that though unless i knew them.

Although it is a nice badge to have

Cant make any promises but if the gf heads out early tonight (not sure what time shes leaving) then i'll be there on Ultimate Damz.

If they occasionally pvp then i'll let them farm/grind their xp. However if all they do is grind, then i WILL show no mercy.

The mobs are there to pass time until a pvper comes along.

Hardly. Certain ones are great for grinding with AoE characters.

[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed. I really enjoyed Eden, Crey's Folly & Dark Astoria in particular when I duo'd my warshade with a friend's controller.

I don't want to see the spawns changed in size in any Hazard zones - they should be more dangerous than city zones - but I would like to see some storyline contacts added to them (and hospitals/stores/trainers) to expand upon the lore of those zones and the factions there (like Striga, Croatoa and Faultline have), starting with Boomtown.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am surprised to see that there are people enjoining the hazard zones. When i run through them i dont see anybody at all. Then again I am not in them a lot. But lets hope they can make the zones at least a bit more interesting for everybody then.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you have a good enough AT you can level faster in them than in missions. My Warshade farmed creys folly from 30 - 38 in record time (my record time obv ).

Edit: The good thing about hazard zones is that you have to keep on your toes otherwise you will die, dont want this feeling taken away from the game.

EDIT: WITH inspirations
