Clan Arena

[13]

I would pay a lot to find out who hades plays, if she even plays. It would be worth logging on for more than an hour or two at a time to give her the ole fyrstenheart salute.

I hear Hades other char is Bag but maybe thats just a rumour. Also, why pay someone? Pkilling is against the rules and strictly enforced.

Sorry, I got off-topic. Please stay on topic 13 or start a new thread. Anyone else have other ideas for this area?

[quote="Tap":10t8znof]Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. Understood it's a proposed clan area. Also mentioned that just because it's clan based shouldn't keep someone who isn't in a clan out. What about 4-5 people who don't wanna be in a clan but want to group for a tournament or whatever. Also, certain guards could be placed to keep someone who wished to 'solo' from leaving area before time was up etc etc would prevent cheating for someone who plays a pthief. Don't be so damn paranoid.. I'm not calling people pussies for not wanting an 'unknown' variable thrown in a mix. Just some people, not YOU of course, get all worked up when even a hint of psteal is mentioned.

Good day to you sir,[/quote:10t8znof]

If you want to join a clan tourny (if one should ever exist), then join a clan - nobody is going to stop you 'un-joining' the clan afterwards. If you really don't want to join a clan, then you have no reason to go to a clan arena - there are already existing solo arenas ingame for you, so use them. End of story.

Well, on that note, how exactly does one go about joining a clan. Last I heard some clans were expecting immediate dues from players to join etc. Am interested in joining a clan but not sure exactly what the procedure is on sloth. Does it vary clan to clan? is there an easy way to see who the clan leader is to talk to them? What about newer players? Is there a clan to take on newer players just getting in to sloth? This might be a question better suited to a new topic but to be honest very few crier topics seem to last 10 comments before they are about something else. Well...ummm....and that's all I have to say about that.....<---best forrest gump impression I can muster.

The process depends on the clan. There isn't a set group of circumstances.

The clan board (on BH at least, don't remember if there is one on every continent) should list the different clans as well as the clan leaders. The clan leader is the only one who can actually add people to the clan, though anyone in the clan might be able to give you information about their processes.

Indeed, each clan has their own methods.

Some require financial support, some have extensive deliberations, some take bribes, some just take anyone.

And then there are some that are just plain impossible to deal with

For Clan Priate you need to beable to touch your toes. If you touch Jason's
toes it's more like a bribe (BEERFEST)

I believe the standing guidelines on Sloth for clan related stuff is that being in a clan should not provide any substantive bonus to the player and that not being in a clan should not restrict a player from any part of the game. Thus anyone can participate and on anyone else's team. If a particular clan wants to field a team and name themselves the DS, DoW, Pirate, Sapphire,...etc team thats fine. But ultimately anyone is free to be on anyone else's team.

Regarding Tap's suggestions:
Pstealing will be on or off depending on the the master switch. It won't be "enabled" or "disabled" in this one zone. Taking anything from someone's corpse however is disabled. You are only able to loot your own corpse. However I did make it so that when you kill someone, their gold automatically transfers to you.

Regarding Resouh's suggestions:
A trophy is easy enough to make and give out, but I'd rather see trophy eq. There are already the Mantour Gaunts, but it would be nice if the admin could be talked into making some new tourny eq. Seems kinda unfair that the only tourny item is stabber eq. Perhaps something ACish and something with nice mana regen+spellbonus could be added.

I will try to make the arena automated as you suggested tho, perhaps where you can challenge the top team for the trophy eq and they have x number of weeks to respond before their eq poofs. Perhaps you would have to pay to challenge them. This will have to be further down the road tho, it'll be a coding challenge. The board would also have to wait as I don't know how to do it yet.

If teams want to wager eq on on a fight, I could just do it manually. Teams give me the stuff to hold onto and I give it to the winners. I could try to automate this also down the road.

Thanks for the ideas.

Any volunteers for player testing on Sunday afternoon or evening? Send me a private msg via the crier and pls give me your char's name. I might also do some mob testing sometime soon. So if you hear some new mobs talking smack on gossip, I'd appreciate it if you'd dispatch them. They should take no more than 3-5 players and some are even soloish.

the tourney eq was updated a couple years ago and most of it is awesome
i know there are extra margn items and extra out of cap spelldmg items

wrist and shield respectively iirc

[Shazuko]

maybe add a few more clasp types for the hands, arms, waist, and body...

+1 hit (iron studs added to brass knucks, etc...)
+1 dam (claws added to gloves, etc...)
.1ac (bronze plating added to body armor, etc..)

and/or a nice item for the <loaded> slot that does NOT require a counterpart weapon...perhaps some of those 'monk only' weapons...(imagine that)

<Shazuko Roku Ryuu>
<Shazuko Six Dragons>
<~Chaos~>

[Tap]

Hrm.. to steal an idea from movies who steal them from books..

Random goodie bags during tournament would be interesting.. item's could be Temp-zone to keep them out of normal play and have affects like full-mana restore, extra-oomph heal etc etc. Maybe even temp-eq one could
gear up in or wield to up the odds...

Also.. now that you've announced gold would be transferred upon death, peeps will bank before tourney....maybe make a requirement to have 'x' amount on them to enter area.

Seems like things are starting to come together... last thought.. how can we get psteal enabled or is that dependent on time and whim of Imm?
