First of all, please do not find my words here offensive towards the past LS
This topic only aims to represent a way of making a long-live Living Story that entertains users until the next one cames out. Here we have a saying ~“It’s easy to be smart after.”,
but it is nothing like that. As said above, now Devs & You can both see/imagine how should been all of this happen.
This is how it was:
Assault update came out, you found yourself out of LA. Every hour you was able to get in and do the timed events, but here was way mutch, you gone back to “help” multiple times. Achievements were given to bother something with.
The Refugee Camp is such a happy, festival-like place…
Battle update came out, now you can enter to do some tasks and go through the chain to defeat Scarlet. Achievements were given to bother something with.
We’re at 4th Hotfix, things are still bugged.
The [iR] Design:
Assault update: If you log in first time outside, you’ll be informed. If you log in inside, a short self-instance or cinematics of escaping happens.
Day 1-2: Rally up, Get informed, gather the captured SOS letters from groups of Scarlet’s forces around the city, make the plan for rest of time.
Day 3-4: Clean the entraces with the help of Vigil, Escort anyone who possible. They’ll show the Lionguard what they know about trapped civilians.
Day 5-6: Escort the first group, families with children trapped in the sewers.
Day 7-8: Escort the merchants trapped in the pirate cave.
Day 9-10: Escort the remaining Lionguards captured by Scarlet’s.
Day 11-12: Now everyone should be out & safe, so gather things needed for the Refugee camp & the battle. The Groove’s Sylvaries shares a new medicine to heal up injured ones more quickly. Norns will hunt & bake more then share it.
Battle update: The Pact arrives!
Day 1-2: The take-back battle will be planned. Get informed to help the pact. Whisperers found something… Secure the entraces.
Day 3-4: Help the orders to have a look on LA, so they can design their attack plans.
Day 5-6: The Knights appear. Priory knows how to defeat them. (learned on marionette) But they’ll be hooked up to be repaired.
Day 7-11: The Iron Legion built up & adjusted their artilery. Defeated knights can no longer be repaired in time, opportunity to defeat Scarlet!
Day 12: Celebrate the victory! Pay respect to the fallen.
“We falled, but stood up stronger!”
The Refugee Camp is muddy, crafted junk, it seems to be huge (but not all accessable by players), the weather is always raining, local troubles happen to solve (AP)
As a sidenote: LA & Overflows designed for 50 players, so it will not be AFK’d, and lagg/player mass won’t be a trouble for low-mid PC users.
Every Escort event brings some additional trouble to deal with – Achievements!
~2 Days schedule for eatch seems to be balanced for casual players too. If Achievements are there, users can do it alone/party instanced once the time is past.
~2m Ingame cinematics at eatch move. New NPC conversations. Let us feal this is Real and happening!
P.s.: I have no solution for this LS “lore”, I don’t get it neither…
