Guild Airship Battles

[Lord_Spank]

Thought that having a guild airship would be cooler if it moved and could engage in battles with other guild airships. otherwise it is just a guild hall at roof level instead of street level. you could equip weapons and challenge other guilds for loot? or territory ? or just as a rep boost for the winner? if not for pvp-ing (which i am not that into) maybe for pve against air elementals and related creatures. it is an airship, not an attic. seems like there are possibilities to explore there. would give the big guilds another way to spend their money (equipping there ships). we'd have to protect the small guilds from getting swallowed up by those bigger guilds (but they risk it all if they tackle air pirates). again, i would rather not play pvp, but for those that do there could be some sort of air arena. or just dungeons in the sky. maybe some unique gear that is air-related like sword of flying or magic carpet or ring of freefalling or such. just kind of free associating here. hope anyone who comments on this can contribute something with a bit more focus. any thoughts ? like ? hate ?

and if we can dungeon in the sky are the oceans not also tempting ? i saw a sunken ship near the harbor of stormreach. does it hold treasure ? sea monster eggs ?

That would be one big update. I think we should have a pvp arena on the ship, where players can fight.

All of the other things you said i would not want in the game, yes they are awesome, but then its just another thing turbine makes money off. Coming new to ddo! Epic airship battles!! FREE to VIPs, but first pay 60 dollars.

Now that we have elevator and moving platform technology in game, I would like to see some airship battles with moving airships.

Build a PvE quest around the concept and then throw a PvP arena together out of the resources already used for the quest.

edit: Grease becomes a kill spell...

While I think ship battles would be kewl, the PG guilds would own the server. If you made Air ship battle quests... that I would sign on for. Provide Air support for the invasion in Lordsmarch would be a good one. I forget the name of the House D quest where you blow up the ship but you could *board your ship* and pursue/destroy the other ship. Have cannon mounts and those would be your weapons and you could earn cannon upgrades (quest optionals). There's a lot you can do with it.
