The main idea is to give more things to do in-game and at the same time to make a better use of all the maps.

I try to use things that we alredy saw in the game and over all to make use of the events we alredy have.

Invasion

This is something we alredy had in the living story with the Scarlet’s invasions.

1) A first kind of invasion would be done by the same kind of mobs that we can find in one map, for example the Flame Legion, the Pirates, etc. Could happen at random maps each x amount of hours.

2) World Boss invasion: this kind of invasion would be leaded by a world boss (mainly dragons like the Claw of Jormag, Tequatl, etc) and would happen before the boss event start. For example, with Tequatl the bone ships and risen could start to attack the map and could be events to kill them or defend specific places. The dragon could fly all over the map and help its troops by landing in some places and attacking the players or simply throwing its poison breath. For example, when the Claw of Jormag breath, it could deal damage over the enemies and turn the allies (for example the Sons of Svanir) into Icebrood. When the characters win the invasion the dragon land and the final fight against the boss start.

Reputation

The idea is to create a daily/monthly reputation that let the players unlock seller npcs when reach the maximum. This could be similar to how the npc rewards are unlocked in Dry Top (the new map).

1) Map reputation: the map reputation could be based in the implementation of repeteable renown hearts. Each day the players could be sent to gain reputation in a specific map or region. The players could win reputation with that map by doing repeteable hearts, jumping puzzles, killing bosses or completing different events.

2) Faction reputation: this could be linked to the first one, the different factions could send us to do different kind of tasks we must complete. This would be similar to the daily achievements but related to the choices we make when we pick a faction.

Duels

The idea would be to add npcs, like the Queen’s Champions (from Queen’s Jubilee event) or the ones from the group known as Modus Sceleris. This npcs could be challenged to duels and the player that beat them could get rewards. This duels could be part of the daily quests, daily reputation and/or faction reputation.

Thx for read, sorry for the bad english, and i hope people give more ideas about how to make a better use of the maps or improve this ones.

Reputation is a bad idea due to Megaservers.

The World Boss invasion idea sounds pretty cool to be honest.

@Phoenixlin.8624 i am sure there are many ways to make it work. They could make it as a daily achievement which would be saved, once the achievement is complete the character would have access to the npc no matter in which server they are.

In any case, the idea is to have faction/race/map/etc daily achievements (dont need to give points) which send the players to different places to make a better use of the maps.

@Cotser.7015 yes, since Scarlet came with her invasions i am thinking in something like this.

About the duels: could be 3 kinds of duels.

The 1st one could be a more friendly one and when the npc is defeated they could surrender and give the reward.

A 2nd kind could be more agressive and fight to death, this kinds of npcs could be blocking roads (in this case they could ask for money to let the player pass and if the player dont want to pay they could try to kill it).

A 3rd kind could be more like the Belcher’s Bluff: could challenge masters to duels with special skills, similar to the bletcher’s bluff but with combat skills. If the player wins the master could teach them new skills.

Invasion idea is awesome, would love that. Reputation is just another grind, see WoW for example, bad idea. Duels, awesome idea. While they are at it let us duel other players.

Sounding dangerously close to a rep grind like in WoW (which was hellish). Love the invasion idea though, really miss those types of huge random map-wide events from at least one other mmo I used to play.

I would like to have the invasions too, i think they did it well with Scarlet. It is just a mater of have the dragon minions to start to do the same.

About the reputation: maybe was a bad idea to call it like that, it is more like an extention of the daily achievement things. The idea is to give people reasons to go to different maps (visit diferent places) and do different things than what we do now.
