My ideas that could help both us the players and HCS at this point where we're in NEED of new content:
:arrow: Create an "Alien Worm-hole", where people can use energy to explore. Have creatures appear there, items, credits. That way, while you're finishing new game maps, people can still use energy to DO something besides sub-lvl... Special rewards for such explores can be new Elite / HK creatures to hunt, with different set-ups like only helmet + helmet add-on, DEF / ARM settings, stims....
:arrow: Bounty "Missions". How would it work? Use special "credits" to pick a target (could be a player or a creature): iIf it's a player, one kill could do, or defeat at least "x" times a creature. Rewards based on your lvl vs creature / player's lvl. Could take time to implement but would work too.....
:arrow: ALIEN INVASION EVENT In that other game, we have LEGENDARY events. Why not here have some strange visitors attempting to take control of SS2 world maps? There's no point in returning to previous maps, save by Taulin City for stims, but if these ALIEN INVASORS came and began attacking at different low lvl maps, that would mean we need to travel and fight them off... Again, items they grant, don't NEED to be equipment pieces, maybe ammo (more DMG whe used in type of weapon), shield blocks (like a mimick of Mental Strength but for ALL classes)....
:arrow: Finally, I understand role-play for Elite / HK sets, but as many players have said (me included), make those sets FEEL different! A small skill boost (+10 to any skill is a HUGE difference!), higher stats than CORE items (rewarding time and effort to create them instead of normal items in content) or anything in that line.
The first 3 would be perfect energy sinks for us, HIGH level players, bringing fun and stuff to do back to the game. What's your call?

no.... bounty system sux if it is like FS. Yes, if you actually have to hunt the person down.... no tickets to accept though as many people would waste a ton...

Also,

I like this idea quite a bit ~ maybe throw in some mini-games or random events

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the bounty idea, but I know those who live for Pvp would embrace this.

LOVE LOVE this idea ... Not Sure on the method for this one, but for other options what about a prize stim (like the x-mas stims) that let you cast any class buff on another player

I know I love my HK set and I know the effort of many to help me make it, but for all the difficulty to make I was surprised it didn't have stronger stats when you compare it to the other Elite sets. Make something that difficult to obtain really worth the effort of making it.

I also really like the idea someone else had on another thread of more/different stim blueprints. Make some higher level ones (level 50, level 75, level 100) it will give the players just starting out something to work forward to, and give an alternative for those of us up to do while we wait for more content release. :mrgreen:

I know it has been mentioned a lot, but the HK sets were pretty impossibly difficutlt o make.... to date there are still only a few dozen floating around - they really should have had some better stats... a unique stat would have been pretty awesome.... I still think the HK sets should have the equivalent of the elite hunter bonus in FS.... would be especially helpful to the level 16 players in actually getting into the content.

reward should not be equipment, rather it should be unavailable stims. I mean they have tons of code from FS to draw stims from. and it makes it easy to hold invasion or reward for tough bounty. bounties can include items from previous missions item, in effect redoing part of a mission. most of these were large energy burners. but special reward can easily be made worth the energy spent. special does not mean overpowering. something traverse 100 stim would be very special. (because it is not available)

:arrow: artifact - and how about like 3 and make each specific to a faction level so the young factions can get one too....
:arrow: costume shop"

Item name->Level of importance
epic item-> 3/10
Faction Missions-> 4/10
Specificly leveled artifacts-> 8/10

a few months ago le events were mentioned but they said we wouldn't be having any due to not wanting the game to be unbalanced but in my opinion there are many ways around that they could give the sets almost exactly the same stats mabey slightly higher with say 6-12 hp added but what will make them legendary is that we could give them like 150 durilbilty

oh and also this would help the game in many ways as it would give the game a base rate for items that won't dramaticly decease in value infact they might even go up in value over the years and it'll give us all something to do and be a nice little money earner

There's just one thing about the Bounty Missions....
It's not just a PvP idea, maybe a PvE too.... Run to kill Elite creatures or Regular ones for some credits... Not too much of a reward in terms of Skill Points, but rather some additional credits granted! In any case, we've already brainstormed a lot about these things, we need someone from HCS to see them and give us some feedback.... :roll:

First time I've actually read the entire thread and she took the words right from my...fingertips I guess you could say.

Most of these ideas are good but I don't think PvP needs to be a big part of SS2 since it has nearly 'ruined' (for some people) Fallensword

:arrow: Seasonal Events. Based either in real life calendar or in-game calendar. Like "100 years founding of Taulin City" or something in that line, that helpus players be more immersed in the story behing this game, which has been so far great!

I still want to know an answer from HCS regarding ALIEN INVASION EVENT....
More thoughts on different topics:
:arrow: Built in b-day present for players. A bound item granted (like intensifier cake) when in real life you become older.
:arrow: BUFF MARKET. Usable by people selling / looking for buffs (very much like Marketplace). How to prevent it from going wild? If buffing, a player selects "x" times the skill to be cast, listing disappears if not enough energy to cast it. If looking for buffs, you simply select the skill from listing and pay amount. Simple, easy, effective. Could also create credit sinks and other ways to generate income for players.

:arrow: ARTIFACTS. My thoughts on the subject and a way to create a difference between SS2 and "that other game", HCS places a special square in some random lvl maps. Instead of that place giving bonuses, Factions MUST work as a team to achieve objectives and unlock the powers it grants. Only by completing all objectives the bonuses are given and artifact ownership is lost when the next faction completes them. Example: To unlock "Sharona Altar", a faction needs to: Kill 4 Sharona HKs in a row, Have at least 1 player with an HK Hunter Silver medal and Give 10 Sharona Heads and 10 Alloy Encased Arms. Once completed, the artifact gives +10 ATT, DMG, DEF and ARM to all faction MBRS. (Bonuses can change, but with these mechanics, ARTIFACTS become quite unique).
