Now let's move on to the possible special events and the seasons.
How about a fair/circus that comes to the world of Aragon every 3 months. The circus is run by a shady tamer. With the circus also comes a special raid/seasonal raid. Namely, as you guessed it, the raid will take place at the circus. Little lore about the circus: ''No one knows exactly who the people from the circus are and where they come from. All that is known is that the circus simply appears out of nowhere. When the full moon night falls, it becomes foggy. You can't see anything except this dark mist. All you hear is laughter, screams and bursting balloons. Are they clowns? Freaks? A polite but very strange man appears out of the mist and welcomes us to the freak show.''
Raid bosses: The Headless Painter, The Juggler, The Acrobats, Beastmaster, Jester, The Drowned Child, Furie, The Tamer, The Circus |
The Tamer is the final boss, once defeated the Boss unleashes the true power of the Circus. The visitors to the circus are eaten by the circus and their souls are drained. We learn that the circus is the true evil and that the circus staff have been under the spell of the tamer's cursed spell for many years. But none of them were really alive. The circus rises and reveals itself to be a giant demonic creature that devours all the circus visitors. The battle takes place all over the fairground and the whole area is integrated into the fight. The demonic creature destroys the whole fair and the players must try to survive and defeat the creature. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
For Halloween I thought of a ghost train, you could also make a raid out of it, where you are driven through the raid on a train and let out at the bosses' spots.
Phantom Train
Raid bosses= The Ghost, Zombie, The Doctor, Spider, Hellhound, Dracula, Skinwalker
Next to the raid, there is a whole Halloween town where you can meet creatures like the headless horseman etc. Trick or treat events, pumpkin carving mini-game. And many more fun mini-games.<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
As a Christmas event, players can visit Father Christmas at the coldest point of Aragon. The players can wish for an item they have always wanted. They can fill in a list of what they would like to have. But now comes the crucial point. There is a rating system for this. If many players have rated a player as positive, he is entitled to receive an item. A good list and a bad list. Those on the naughty list get nothing but a bag of charcoal. Besides, there are many Christmas quests and a wonderful Christmas town. A special event could be an ingame donation event. For example, an institution for sick children. For example, a fountain of happiness where we can throw coins into it that you can buy with real money. And for example an ingame teddy bear/online website that we can also buy for a donation.
There are many more ideas in my head and also many more Lore stories. Let me know how you like the ideas, then I'll start writing several pages about lore and other areas and so on.
I must say seasonal Raids are indeed a cool idea. The circus raid and the Halloween Train Raid would be a nice thing to look forward to.
What I liked most about your ideas is the good and bad list for the Christmas event and I will personally alert the Game Designers to think about it. That is a very good mechanic to battle the toxic people and the gankers.
Good stuff Kashjir š
