Gary Gygax Memorial Shrine

[cpito]

I know it's late in the game for this suggestion and maybe it's already been made but can we get the Gary Gygax Memorial in Delera's turned into a functioning shrine for Mabar?

[der_kluge]

That's an awesome idea!

Though, if you have access to the Delera's pack, you can hop into Delera's part III for a quick completion and come out fully refreshed, or you can go into the quest where you have to light the funeral pyres - there's a shrine right by the door, but you have to use it quickly before the zombies interrupt you.

Yea, it is simple to just hop in that quest and just shrine, but.. I do like the idea of making Garys memorial into a working shrine.

Great suggestion!

Alternately, you could have it generate an aura (like the guild ship tavern amenity) that regenerates SP and HP over time. Not as effective as an actual rest shrine, but that way you wouldnt have dozens of people sitting on each other around the shrine.

With maybe an additional top tier shipbuff ? (Not all, too laggy) Have we ever seen a functional shrine in a public area though? Is the code already there? if not I think this is unlikely

Brilliant idea

There are the Rest of the Eladrin statues that can summon a shrine anywhere. They work in public instances.

Ah, yep. /signed

What might be nice is that it restarts buff timers.

Meaning if you stand within the shrines "aura" for say 1 minute it will act as if all your current buffs were just cast on you.

I can imagine it might steer people into the area on a good day. It should be faster to jump off ship, run and visit Gary, and get back on ship than it is to get on there and run to all the buffs.

And for those who get invited to a higher level ship this would be a place they practically live at!

[Hoglum]

Mr. Gygax wouldn't like that.

Rather, he should spawn occasionally during Mabar and whoop the crud out of everyone in his path.

That would be more his style (read: tomb of horrors for an idea how he was as a DM).

Yea, I know about the quests (you can even get motes/collectibles in FBTG if you do it right) but with the different level instances, you always recall to the shared instance which means running to Joe or House J to get back to whichever level instance you were running in.

A truly epic idea! And, in its way, a further tribute to Mr. Gygax.

If they epic voice of the master and mantle of the worldshaper then it would be nice if those shrines became quest entrances to collect the seals, shards, and scrolls for them.

We need more randomness in this game. Lets put in the Deck of Many Things.

Splendid idea!
