FUCKING THIS.
I have never had so much fun in a seasonal event.. hell maybe one of my highlights of the entire game. I simply do not understand why they haven't repeated this event because it's sooo awesome.
I would love some more Ballista related events. It's one of the most severely underused features of the game and one of the most enjoyable imo.
Glad someone does ~.~ New Events people, NEW. I'm Mirroring my post on the other forum.
The only thing would be it would be incredibly hard to Implement :< alot of programing im sure. but still
Large NM Battles in Existing Zones for all Level Ranged (Twinkling Treants reminiscent)
Augmenting Additions
and a Besieged-Sized Super Battle on the Last day of the Event. (Against Shadowkupo)
PvP centric.
If not, make it competitive as fuck.
As a taru myself, and totally against anti-taru treatment, I would be totally for firing myself out of a cannon! Would be awsome to see myself flying in the air.
I can't imagine Twinkling Treants would be so much fun now that we're not all a bunch of level 20s who, until that point, had not fought anything more threatening than a goblin. I mean, Twinkling Treants was really not much more than besieged or campaign but with just the one mob in each zone. Exciting at the time, can't imagine bothering with it nowadays except maybe with the allure of a server-wide reward like the zone teleports we got.
Seconding a PVP style or competitive type event
Tempyst we are comrades now
Kupo! It's that time of year again! That's right, It's Faffest! Grab your third party programs and prepare for fun!
To participate in Faffest:
Talk to one of the moogles in Dragon's aery, Behemoths Dominion, Vale of Sorrows, Caedarva mire, Mt. Zhayolm, and Attowa Chasm! They will give you a magical monster target!
Bringing back the Ballista Royale would be awesome.
An event like the level 1 invis thing, where we have to go around and find "augmenting orbs."
Different places have different orbs, which we can figure out. Some of the orbs will be positive enhancements, some of them negative.
Give us a bare piece of armor, whichever piece SE wants to do.
You can place up to 6 augments on your item, and they can be 6 of the same augment, if you go collect 6 of the same orb.
However, for every positive augment you pick, you must also apply a negative augment.
Basically letting us create our own kind of old world abj gear. Want a body with +15 str + 30 att? Go for it, have fun in cauldron as level 1 getting all the orbs, just remember you're also going to end up with something like 30% slow and -15 int, which you'll have to go pick up from quicksand and fei'yin.
Take your pankration monsters and release them into the wild in a special zone where they battle each other and you. Yes i know ffxipokemon sucks. Or even something involving the monsters. make a pokemon spoof perhaps where you enter the safari zone.
Nation based Ballista at LV1 Cap. First place (The Nation with the most total wins) will be able to receive and use Sigil Bonuses (The whole Refresh/Regen/Other stuff Signet has to offer) immediately after the event. Second place will have to wait a few months. The last nation will have to wait a few more months.
Make the zone inside the walk of echoes and make the event a week to give everyone a preview of what we're waiting on for the end of wotg. That solves the familiarity problems and im sure the gargoyle statues coming to life and ripping people to shreds would qualify as fucking scary.
Taru punting competitions... anything involving abuse of tarutaru basically would be good.
Please NOT ANOTHER SPAM FUCKING EMOTES OR HAVE TO TEAM UP WITH A LEVEL 73 GALKA DANCER FEST.
