April Fool's Event - Bristlebane Mayhem Feedback & Funnies

[Kirdan]

Some ideas:

• Instead of making most guises fake, just make them only work for non-iksar and it'll have roughly the same effect. Live with your choices, lizards.
• Introduce fake manastones that take health when clicked but don't give mana. Plant a single real manastone on a random mob in the level range of evil eye.
• Love the idea of including completed quest items like the PoM flowers as mob loot, perhaps expand on that with spirit wracked cord, garzicor items, essence lens items, etc.

Thank you for not including warder loot. If people want that, they will always have the next iteration of green to try.

Very much appreciate the time and effort that went into this event. There was a resoundingly positive response from our guild. The biggest takeaways were the jumbled loot tables and the staggered spawns. I think a "shockwave" Quake in the future could be fun where Velious quakes first, then Kunark, then old world with a random time between continents so that guilds can't just sit and wait knowing exactly when Kunark/ Old world will quake. Speaking from someone who can play EQ while working from home but not as much on the weekend's due to family commitments it would be great to see an event happen during a weekday as opposed to being prime-time weekends like the last couple have been. No complaints just offering feedback. Thanks again to the CSR team for the time they put in for our community.

Thanks GMs and Guides! Any GM events are good things, but especially creative ones with some serious thought and/or time put into them! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That idea was toyed with, but it can break mechanics of the fights. Even something simple that I wanted to do - Move Talendor from Skyfire to Lavastorm (Bristlebane screwed up and put him in the wrong place) wasn't possible because it literally breaks the mob..

Is it possible to make GM summonable raid mob pet gear? Maybe do a Poison Breath proc dagger, Frost Breath proc dagger, CH dagger, and a dragon roar proc dagger.

Then just give Eejag a Talendor illusion along with the dragon roar dagger and an immolating breath proc dagger. And some type of GM only pet buff that gooses the stats significantly and lasts for like 7 days. Preferably something so difficult that it would require mass server cooperation.

In lieu of dragons being moved to different zones (since they present technical issues), it might be worth spawning named drakes like the ones from the classic Mayong event.

If that isn't feasible, other classic options come to mind such as Faydedar in LOIO.

Perhaps Classic and Kunark Fabled mobs could be used. They drop the same loot, just slightly upgraded. Like kunark mobs drop loot upgraded to be on par with velious loot, classic to kunark, etc

Personally, as someone who tries to get outside more [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] , it would be nice to know a rough time when events happen/supposed to happen. Trying not to stay up till midnight in case of a quake and spend all day on the computer waiting for something to happen. But was a fun event, thanks!

I love this idea. I'll ask if that's a possibility.

Can we not tailor make events to give riot as much loot as possible? It's such a disproportionate handout. So many ways to work around that. Lockout timers, bag limit events, qualifying mob or events to earn other mobs, etc. Many previous events did not just award the largest zerg the most pixels possible.
