Heart Attack

I like this idea /signed

As for the mechanics of it, if they add this as part of the cossie selection in ICON/FACE they can build the deley into the cossie swap for the effect to occur.

Not knowing the code of course I've no idea how much work that'll be.

Good idea.

Only issue I can see is ensuring people go through the sewer, but a team of 7 competitors with 1 offical should allow the offical to make sure people stay underground.

Should the offical be low level (allowing leveling) or high level disallowing it though?

Any holes in this? Any interest in it?

And Faultline has been revamped too

BTW Welcome back

Edit:for spelling

Welcome back too! I recall teaming with you amd Miss M back in the days of i#5 or was it i#6, not 100% sure now.

Might be a bad question but is Miss M back too or has she never left.

As my wife and I always team we've found the LP very nice. If she gets a little time in an afternoon to play when I'm at work my alt keeps up and we can play together again in the evening with the alts in line. I suspect this is more the way it was intended, but your points are interesting.

I can't really see how a pause or a split of the XP would work, after all the two alts are LPed to stay in line. Change the split of XP and you no longer stay in line, which kind of negates the LP altogether.

Allowing them at a higher level would be great and I'm hoping this gets put in because theres a load of alt we'll probably not play now as they aren't LPed.

As for when person gives up and deletes perhaps their LP could be given some of their XP. Not sure how that would work, perhaps just enough to level twice or a percentage. That way although they loose their LP they gain something. Problem is I suspect it's open to abuse. If you delete maybe they'll just be happy as they'll get all their own XP now

What does the "Mo" bit in the title mean?

I was actually thinking of Van Pelt from Jumanji when I thought of the hunter.

Good ideas everyone. Like the opt out, like the mission to opt out, like the zone spawn.Like the idea of the AT being like a players, though an MM hunter sounds dangerous!

In retrospect I don't like my original idea of it being when you zone. The idea of them appearing in a zone and hunting any hero/villain appeals, maybe using the Rikti Invasion code. minion in the lowest level zones, Lt in next set of zones up, boss in next sets and so on.

I know theres issues with the invasion code and very low level alts but a single minion in atlas shouldn't be too bad, even for the lowest level alts. That said if we went with level 10 then Steel and Skyway and up would be the zones that this would occur in. Most alts should have a chance by then.

Good point, the vet awards are a huge advantage at the low levels, I know they are end heavy, but I dont think that balances it.

I know if we had enough mentors they could make sure people didn't use vet powers or the other possible cheats that have been discussed, BUT would anyone really want to hang about watching someone else have fun for hours on end, I wouldn't.

Overall I think anything invovling defeat badges is a bad idea.

Could you do this by leaving your character AFK with an AOE heal on auto?

I was trtying to avoid that by starting at lvl 1 thinking that would stop them getting skulls, in my head I remembered they are in Perez and the Hollows both Hazard zones. However you're right they could go with a 50 to kings and get the skulls. I'll keep on thinking.

Just glad I thought to ask BEFORE setting it up

I recall seeing that before on a link from a redname US sside, though I can't find it now <sigh>

Oh how I hate to when I can't find a hole in someone logic

Yea maybe the AV was a step too far.

Bear in mind if you are just hanging about you wont be zoning thus no issue.

Thing is, as soon as they're out of sight, some will jump on a team of 7 level 50's, and have those badges in next to no time...

You could fix that by having everyone form teams, with the team leaders not taking part, but simply being there to make sure no one was trying to cheat.

Alas everyone on a teams arrests go to the whole team, thus they'd need to be solo.

How about a group that specialise in hunting down the super powered and taking a trophy from them, a mask, a bit of the cossie etc.

Rather than appear in missions they always ambush the players (Hero or Villain). Perhaps once a hero/villain become known to many of the population they could become a target for one of these, say level 10 (though that might be too early.

The Trophy Hunter would attack the player in the same way as a normal ambush but would be a alone.

Level 10-19 Lt Attacks
Level 20-29 Boss Attacks
Level 30-39 EB Attacks
Level 40+ AV attacks

The chance would need to be perhaps 1% each time a player Zones (so it could happen entering or leaving a mission).

Odd they didn't add a special enemy for VEATs you'd have thought some kind of Longbow doing special damage to them would have been obvious. It's not like your "normal" villain would come across such an enemy as they're not after "normal" villains.

It would also have ben amusing for an NPC Fortuna etc to say "Did you hear XXXXX was taken ot by a YYYYY"

Cheers thats clear now.

Shame you can't level them up again, I'd effectively have 10 more slots

Doh, should have thought to look there too, many thanks

Do you need to lvle up the second build or just pick powers and slots up to your current level?

Looking at the videomaps it's minimum level 7, trouble is at level 5 you can go to the Hollows and there seems masses of bone daddies there. Maybe this Idea wont work. Oh well back to the drawing board.

Anyone got a link to the vet awards page I can't find one on the US site and the links on the EU site seem to be sending me to the home page.

I suppose there could be a no teaming rule. If I made every contestant a golbal friend I could make sure they stayed Solo.

Edit: Can trial accounts have global friends?

I'm thinking of running the following event.

Would people be interested?
Are there any holes in it?


All Characters must start in Atlas Park Under the statue of Altas and be level 1 and cannot have any of the badges listed below.

The winner is the first Character to return to me Under the statue of Altas with the following badges.

Kill Skuls – Defeat 500 Skulls
Hellspawned – Defeat 50 Damned
Bonecrusher – Defeat 100 Bone Daddys

Exploration Badges

On the second build do you count as being lvl 1 again initially and thus can play though any arcs you missed the first time around getting XP etc as if it were a new toon again?

Which blue side zones can I find Vaz Embalmed to hunt? I know I've seen them in small numbers in southern Hollows since it was changed, but where else do they hang out?
