It seems that the Global Events seem to be devided between Fragments and Potions.  Whenever there is a Fragment Global, those who don't compose get a little frustrated as the rewards are basicly useless to them.  Whenever there is a Potion Global, well at least this time around I really could use a LOT more Common Fragments personally and I am sure there are plenty other composers out there in the same situation.

 

My proposal is a Global event that benefits both types of players.  The reward can be a stash that gives the usual types of potions.  However, the creatures required to kill for the event should drop the Common Frag Stash like in a Composing Global.

 

This is almost certain to spark more interest in the Community achieving more than the Ruby Tier as composers will keep hitting for the drops and non-composers will want the potions.

great idea, or have chests which give you a choice, frag stash or an epic potion?

I like this idea, but I wish that the cows would also listen to the request to change the contents of the composing global chests so that they were in the area of 95% commons and the remaining 5% split between the others.

 

So many of us have a plethora of RARE, UNIQUE, LEGENDARY, CRYSTALLINE & SUPER ELITE that we'll (currently) NEVER use ...

 

Ho Hum.

 

Any compromise that pleases more of the player base is a great suggestion :)


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

There is only potion for the chest reward according to your suggestion. In frag global event, you can get frag from chest too other than the drop.

 

Edit: The intention is to hold global event more frequently at small scale so we can get medal tick. In addtion, stamina and gold sink during the event, even if it is short.

This doesn't work for those of us who are not at EOC and are leveling in Composing. More events = more activity. If I don't want to participate in an event; for example, cave events -- I have no luck in the caves, thus I don't participate. No skin off my nose.

To me this is the every little Johnny & Janie has to have a gift when they go to a birthday party nowadays mentality.

I don't want to chose between Frags and Epic potions and get less of both. I'd rather use more stam and get more of both.

Agree w/BK! I like the different events ..I dont want the game to become stale ( to me)... However I respect different oppinions( 50% of the  time..lol) Maybe if they had a "universal" global integrated into the current ones ..one that offers u a choice like WWWolf suggests ..that would be acceptable to me.... and welcome ..but not necessary :)

I am not at EOC and I am leveling in Composing (currently at level 32 while writing this) but I do see your point.

 

My idea was not to REPLACE the existing Global Events but for an ADDITIONAL type of global (hince the title "New Global Event Idea") like bloody18 suggested.  My idea wouldn't really make sense to the theme of the current Globals.  As far as the story line goes, for creatures to start dropping frag stashes or for chests that used to give frags to start giving pots just wouldn't make sense.  It would HAVE to be a new type of Global Event.

I like global events, I think they are fun, but they utilize a lot of stam.   Everything we do costs stam. .  More globals means I need more stam and have less to use on day to day play.  Something like this would have to be very very infrequent in order for the general public to have extra stam for it...

I was thinking what if we had a recent global event that was frags or just potions.  Most of us as mentioned are tapped out from the event and if we qualified we automatically get a stamina reset for another type of global event.   I am think a bonus round of sorts.  This event is global to all that got qualified from the last event.  It could be almost anything like a grab bag event bonus round including experimental items that are being worked on to be tested.  

 

The reason I am suggesting this is because I think there should be a pvp event, that could be like a pirate event or perhaps some kind of special arena event or even scavenging surprises all could be thrown in bonuses.

NO arena... NO caves (both are crap shoots imo, and cost lots and lots of gold)  

and if we have pirates, we need ninjas too...

Not really global events but kind of:

 

1. A earn 2x or 3x composing XP event/weekend/week/whatever?

 

2. A 2x or 3x frags extracted from items event/weekend/week/whatever?

 

3. A frag free weekend to make composing potions event/weekend/week/whatever?

I did change them so that they are mostly commons. That'll have to do for now. Composing is one of the big tweaks we'll be looking at.

 

WE should be able to sell our frags!!!!!!!!!!!Implement this in the game. 8k common,11k rare,3k unique 1.3k legendary, 1k crystalline,1k SE. all the frags i have and i don't even compose.

 

I seriously doubt we'll do this. There are plentiful ways to gain Frags and selling them is something Hoofmaster and myself have been against from the start.

 

Global PVP Event anyone?

 

This is something I want to look at once changes to PvP are in place. I think it could be fun.

 

Not really global events but kind of:

 

1. A earn 2x or 3x composing XP event/weekend/week/whatever?

 

2. A 2x or 3x frags extracted from items event/weekend/week/whatever?

 

3. A frag free weekend to make composing potions event/weekend/week/whatever?

 

1. I like!

 

2. Would replace the need for Frag Stash events. Not so hot IMO.

 

3. You mean Composing without needing Frags? I think that would fall under No. 2 answer.
