What is it?
———————————-
Dimension Clash is my idea of what i think as a great new, and fresh event for Tyria.
And this is how it works:
You have 2 servers, A and B. On A there suddenly spawns a massive portal somewhere in the world. This portal creates a path way to server B. On server B there comes a runic tower out of the earth, with the portal where hostile forces from server A should pass through. Both servers has 15 minutes to prepare and stand at the portal/tower. Once the 15 minutes passed server A charges through the portal, moving to server B to destroy that tower. \
How would people know that the event starts?
Once the portal spawns all people in server A will get a broadcast that it actually spawned, and a marker on his/her map. ( which can be used as a more expensive warp-point )
What about the pvp balance?
——————————————————————
Because it is in the PvE world, your level would be automaticly downgraded. Making even people from lvl80 weak to a lvl20 player. And you may not forget the potential hostile envirioment it might spawn in.
What if A destroys the runic tower, or B defends it succesfully?
If A manages to destroy the tower, they will get a %5 experience boost for 4 days, on the whole server. But, if B defends it succesfully. And it has killed all the participating players from server A, then they get the bonus. In that way you are fighting for a goal.
What happens after the 15 minutes of preparation time?
After 15 minutes the portal opens for 2 minutes, making all players there being able to enter the portal. On the other side, people can take position behind some mortar pods, or just from a nice spot to attack them.
What about the player balance?
It certainly would be unfair if 1000 people fight agaisn’t 100. So this is how the balance works:
The amount of players being let through the portal to server B, depends on how much people are registered at the protection/event zone around the runic tower. If a 100 people are standing there to protect the tower, within the circle. A 100 people will be let through the portal at server A. The others would simply gain a message: “Event is full”.
How would we block off other players from the protecting servers?
There won’t be, as the runic tower will spawn at a instance like your main storyline. The attackers from A will be teleported there, and the protectors from B as well. If the battlefield is full, or already happening, people would simply be blocked off the instance. the same way as with the portal. ( and deserting the battlefield would be impossible )
Would the players from server A be stuck in server B?
———————————————————————————————————————
No, once the battle is decided, all players are teleported out of the instance. back to the portal/instance spot.
Would you earn exp from slaying a enemy?
Yes, each enemy will give you a 100exp points. and destroying or defending the tower, what will be harder then you might think will give you 500exp points.
So how would B “Defend” the tower?
-
The tower is defended if every enemy is killed from the attacking server, the tower is defended. But afcourse, the tower has to still stand.
But jeraziah, this is like WvW!
-_-
This exists in the PvE world, which means it counts as a server-wide event. You don’t have to w8 for the qeue, or to have a big kitten guild to mean anything like in WvW.
Importnant details:
~The warp-point, will be seen in unexplored areas as well. and is click-able by everyone.
~the max level will be different each time.
~The lower levels, are not being upped. But still can be usefull as suppression, distraction or to use the mortar pods
~mortar pods, these are small cannons doing bigger damage to the enemy, but it takes alot of time between shots.
~The landscape can vary between 3 maps:
1. A swamp, full of obstacles and blockades. Hell for a ranged player, but a playground for the melee
3. A duel ship battle, 2 ships around the tower in the middle of a sea. Climbing through the ship like hardcore parkour, cannons firing. The true paradise for the jumpy/fast players
4. A village, a bit of everything. Climbing roofs, annoying trees, open fields and close alleys. A good arena to start, with equal chances for everyone.
Any suggestions, or issues with this idea? post them as well,.
Thank you for reading my idea.
