After contemplating the idea of quests where the enemy was YOU (dont know how to add link), the Obvious problem is the game AI. Our characters being a sophisticated sort really need to be challenged by live AI. This prompted this for an idea.
'A special event whereby players fight live Dev controlled characters inside an actual quest.'
Time is money so this kind of event may need to be p2p.
My thinking is:
1) a live quest that includes the usual trash mobs but where the end boss would by a human controlled boss character (or several human controlled toons waiting to stomp on you). These human characters (say WF barb, Drow Mage etc) would have their own GS/twink gear to boot depending on level.
2) Pick one of the existing quests (say Shroud Raid) whereby end boss Harry gets special help by having a human controlled body guard(s) hehehe. Likely this one will be impossible to implement anyway.
Either way this event may require a type of que or limitation to incorporate the mass interest. Therefore a timer is placed on the toon after each completion. Perhaps make it a 1 time deal.
Defeating the human controlled boss character will drop a special chest. The chest will have excellent loot such as Tomes, store like items(elixir pots), and Large ingredients/or GSblank.
Just brainstorming this atm. What does everyone think. Too much?
