Live event in Delera's Graveyard this Thursday

[TiranBlade]

Bringing my Pally for part and my main Firryl for all the goodness!!

ok just wondering if this can be answered ahead of time... as per what i think Fernando said something about this being crafting involved also.

This isnt going to be a kill a mob, it has a chance to drop a crafting component or something like that. If it is, I see one major problem right off the bat. Any time an event of that nature comes around in any game people will just run around trying to grab stuff off the ground constantly.

I sincerely hope theres no loot drop and its up for grabs in either the first or second part. If there is, change it before you even implement the test.

With the Risia stuff it automagically appeared in your inventory when you dealt a killing blow.

Assuming this event goes well, will you be putting the word out enough ahead of time in general to do a Stress Test type thing? (sort of like what happened in LOTRO a couple of occasions?)

I'm sure the population on live servers exceeds the average Preview Population on Lammania, so isn't it better to "KABOOM" on Test than on Live?

... meaning that if you are a Cleric that's healing-oriented, you get diddly squat.

That's Ok, you probably didn't need any Icy Burst or Glaciation items anyway

[PNellesen]

looks like I've got a reason to roll up that half-elf ranger I've been thinking about now. Will be there.

very true very true, im just worried about this being different since just about every event of this nature ive seen over the last 12+ years of playing diff mmos on and off, most events of this type end up like that and end up as one giant greifing field.

Of course that doesnt mean Im not gonna be there to smoke me some undead and hopefully one big ass...hmm... summoning chamber... it could be extra planar or undead... how about an undead pitfiend

On the other hand
Implosion /destruction trigger happy clerics…

Hopefully this tidbit won't turn away more of you than it attracts, but expect the presence of Tarrant the Terrible too!

I'm in. I REALLY want to know what that door in the back does!

For those that havent been in Delera's for a while, this is an oddly disturbing combo.

Make a reflex save to avoid reading those two things together, then a will save or die after seeing disturbing images. DC 50 for both.

Just for clarity: Non PvP zone, right?

IIRC, yes. Don't have the quote handy, though.

Give a lowbie a chance will ya.

Looking forward to this one. If it is as good as the image you draw up, it should be a nice addition to the game world. We need more crafting things to do. It personalizes what we are spending our time on.

[Ovrad]

Will we get to fight the Great Pumpkin?

[Marupal]

It used to be. We had to buy the devs so Glenalth and flynnjsw could get pics of Tarrant the Terrible doing the half-elven princess twinkle-toes dance.
They aren't saying what they've got planned with the pics though.

psst....don't tell Tarrant though.

[knightgf]

And I'm working on some neat prize ideas for those attending. More details on that in the coming days.

Count me in if the prize involves live points to DDO for participating...

[rjedi]

im downloading just for this!
sounds fun

[arkonas]

count me in. i hope that everyone has an equal chance of pulling gear or whatever it is. it would really suck everyone who went to join killed it and only one or a few got the item. it would be unfair to the other who tried since this is going to be a rare thing

[Saaluta]

Will spells,that are normally not usable outside of quests(like blade barrier) be turned on for this event? I remember when the market was overrun, you guys turned it on for us
@sirgog-- Delera's graveyard, Halloween type contest to me means undead...heal spec clerics will still get prizes or to misquote the old game show "Name That Tune", I can kill that zombie in 2 CCW's

[redgod]
