Event - The Purple Fever!

[Frosk]

The PURPLE FEVER has come!

Destroy the Purple Spiders to avoid the outbreak.


Help to cure your infected allies. Don’t allow the disease to reach 50% of your Realm’s population, otherwise it’ll change to the Outbreak status.


If you don’t fight back the Purple Fever, your guards will die and your Realm could be invaded!

[AMPZORD]

sounds interesting just not an event for my hunter

[HidraA]

sounds interesting just not an event for my hunter

Play your barb then :D

Hmm sounds interesting...but when this event fisnish?....i saw begin in 31..but not a end date...

[VimRanger]

3 hours late :P but ahh well I cant wait! :D

Sounds like an amazing idea :D ;)

Hopefully theres a costume incentive too? xD that would just make it almost too good :D

Btw Frosk May I say you are doing an amazing job so far :)

~Vimranger

[_Enio_]

lol that actually sounds interesting, nice!

[NotScias]

If you don’t fight back the Purple Fever, your guards will die and your Realm could be invaded!

Ha ha... Like if guards were helping against invasions anyways :tsk_tsk:

Anyways, what are the rewards if we succeed ?

[Wield_II]

50% of the population?

If that only count's for active players, we only need 4 infected players.. xD

[isgandarli]

50% of the population?

If that only count's for active players, we only need 4 infected players.. xD

lol Donato you made my day xD

[bois]

Will be interesting. Well as long as the cure is not a kiss from my allies. I am still in therapy from Valentines Day some years ago. xD

[AMPZORD]

Play your barb then :D

which character do you think im leveling atm? ..

[HidraA]

Ahahah well there was ppl that was not able to play they chars till next Valentine event :D

[_Enio_]

Well, as far as i know the ro-engine, you cant see active debuffs of poeple who come in your sight - so, is that fixed for the fever debuff?

[magic_gandalf_007]

Play your barb then :D

...i saw begin in 31..but not a end date...

Yeah, i also would like to know the end date. Just stopped playing RA. Must be because of the event, but the warzone in RA is as good as empty.
So what is the end date of the event ( when will warzone in RA be norrmal again ) ?

[NSer]

Not kill 500 spiders quest :D?

[Moorhuhn21]

Well, warzone dead. spiders dead. Too much action for my little heart:facepalm3:

[NSer]

Well, warzone dead. spiders dead. Too much action for my little heart:facepalm3:

And server restarts XD

[HuntShot]

lol we, alsius, were last haha but server restarts... now what?

[HidraA]

... now what?

Good question :D

[Nekoko]

I am impressed NGD, well done having lots of fun though I hate spiders ;p

[_Enio_]

We were last? how you know?

[isgandarli]

I am impressed NGD, well done having lots of fun though I hate spiders ;p

Btw you're infected already - look at your signature xD

[HuntShot]

We were last? how you know?

Because precisely when we killed the last spider the restart started. I don't think it would restart if Reds or Greens would still have spiders... do you?

[isgandarli]

We don't have any left

[HidraA]

3 hours late :P but ahh well I cant wait! :D



I think you won. :D

[Kitsuni]

And then nothing happened. While I was impressed with the event, I have to say it is the most anticlimatic ever.

[Frosk]

And then nothing happened. While I was impressed with the event, I have to say it is the most anticlimatic ever.

Why do you say so? :(

The purpose of this is to develop a little bit more the interaction between high- lvls and low-lvls.

For example, high-lvls chars can take advantage of the enemy's situation, considering the fact that they'll be looking around for spiders in their map. This should be used whether by invading or just getting thins moving out in the warzone.

On the other hand, low-lvls chars can help out by completing the brand new quest in every realm's main city.
This way they'll be getting medicine that can be used to cure high lvl chars so they can give their best out there in the battlefield; and of course they will be helping by reducing the percentage of infected population, since if it's goes up to 50%, the realm will be automatically turn to a Vulnerable status!

It's all about cooperation, guys!

Best regards!

[_Enio_]

Because precisely when we killed the last spider the restart started. I don't think it would restart if Reds or Greens would still have spiders... do you?

We had 3 left when the restart was announced. On my screen.
THe restart probably mainly was due to some bugs (i.e. it gave +health instead of removing).

[HidraA]

Sorry Frosk...but becomes boring after second wave...

First was interesting...after got bored to run all over the map and kill spiders...

Some features as medicine and number of spider make the event to stuck at 15-20% infection.....
Maybe 1000 spiders and 30 seconds medicine will make more interesting this event :P ..or even 15 seconds.

Just lemme know when event finish...i will take brake till there ...sorry but killed even action in War Zone...at this hour wee had usual many fights :P

Hmm that's ok, thanks for the feedback anyway Hidra! We'll keep that in mind ^^

Regards!

[DonnAy]

Well .. I know atleast 5 ppl that said in lat 10 sec that this is worst event ever ... + 1 that will take longer break,so long as event lasts .

So who all hates this event ?

and from me and friends ... REMOVE IT !!!!

[time-to-die]

\i will take brake till there ...sorry but killed even action in War Zone...at this hour wee had usual many fights :P

yap no war :(

[SirHiss]

Fun event!! :D

[Raghn]

lol very fun event.. leaving game to read a book

[ufkn]

C'mon calling it a worst event and all that is too harsh. They are trying to alteast break the routine rut that RO addicts go through,, see the same forts, same world everyday, however may it be.

I for one think it was innovative and realm chat was alive like it hadn't been in months. Don't deter NGD with too much negativity.

It was a nice approach Frosk. Hope future events will be more fun once the game has been rid of its ailments and get a nice ebb and flow to it. :)

Have to agree is something new not the usually grinding and warring like usual. Was fun at 1st trying down to 0 (even though everyone left forts while invading ignis lol). 2nd time with restart though for syrtis.... well upset some people with eve dead when only respawned only couple mins before restart

[TheMessenger]

that will take longer break,so long as event lasts .

and nothing of value was lost...

[Torcida]

What sh*t event NGD you really think losing 1.2 k hp will... omfg im speechless XD

[Zas_]

Leaving game until event is ending (if there's a mean to know when, PM me).

I played 10 minutes, and now i'm infected with 1/2 health -> major disadvantage at war

Really, NGD, stop with events, you're bad at that. :thumb_down:

[NotScias]

I have to admit it's nice to see something new than kill x things, and especially not a "premium-only" event where you absolutely need to buy a participating ticket...
BUT still it's half broken because it's impossible to see if someone is infected if he got infected out of the visual range, like it's impossible to see buff/debuff animations if people got them out of range...
Also it's making the WZ even more boring than usual, as people fear to get the plague while warring and are hunting the 2 remaining spiders in the inner zone for their quest...

Also would have been funnier if the disease could be transmitted to enemies, but doesn't seem to...

[_Nel_]

Yeah, that sucks to get infected by pig/chicken/spider flu each time you meet someone.

Especially because visual spell bug is still NOT YET FIXED.
> Bugs list (http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?p=1406398): Buffs casted out of sight or from camo/stalker don't have a visible animation.

I dont want to be forced to war with -1700 hp even if I don't want to take part of this event.

[standistortion]

Cool idea, co-operation is a good thing and needs more life inner for new players to stay.

[TheOnlyAmasar]

Yeah this event sucks, by the time I logged on, all the spiders were dead, so all I got was infected, so i had to run to gate, get quest, run to alt, then back to gate, then find 5 mushrooms then i finally got my HP back, but then we had dumbasses in ignis running around TRYING to spread the damn fever, pissed me off so I logged off tell me when its over i'm not coming back until it is.


BTW if this was to create cooperation it was a complete fail, i didn't see any "low lvl - high lvl interaction" all i got out of it is, screwed over in WZ and then had to run around and fend for myself. Besides we would have to have an actual population for there to be a "low lvl - high lvl interaction" because almost all the low lvl toons are just alternates of high lvl players

Clans are what cause low lvl - high lvl interaction, not stupid events, if it wasn't for clan chat only time a low lvl player in inner realm gets to talk with a high lvl player is if they are coming in to pick up WM quests, or reskill but thats for all of ooooh 2 minutes maybe.

I duno I found the whole thing to be annoying not fun at all, enough that I actually posted about it and I NEVER get on these forums, so that should tell you in of itself how much I disliked it.

[lunedor]

Do people know that, after the quests, they have a nice potion to heal themself each time they are infected ? :D

[_Nel_]

And? You can do it only once, and medicine only lasts 10min.

After you did that quest once, you have to run all over the realm to find someone who still has a medicine available to cure you.

If no one has, then good luck to fight with -35% of your hp.

What will happen when everyone will will use potion and there will be no one to cure? Hello invasion? -.- Stupid event...

[HidraA]

That was the point ...that "Hello Invasion" ...
I think need to be more easy that "hello invasion" :D

[bois]

... but then we had dumbasses in ignis running around TRYING to spread the damn fever,...


That more than anything else in this event pissed me off in a big way. Imagine my supposed allies are actually more debilitating to me on purpose than my opponents. I actually found my self having to mount horse and literally run away from certain individuals in my own realm to actually keep my HP intact and prevent infection.

After a while I went and shacked up in the mountains because there was no medicine left and all they were doing was trying to infect people by going AFK while infected by the event quest NPCs and all around the realm gate/Altaruk / Medenet. So I had to exit via the portal at Allahed beach and could not come back in. Eventually, I was forced to fight in the warzone with 3200~HP after being intentionally infected over 13 times.

I don't blame NGD for this. Even I could not have imagined how retarded this could become due to actions of some in the name of fun. I simply logged after that. I will try to come back and hope the IQ of Ignis rises by that time.

Regards

[_Nel_]

Don't worry Arty, we have the same dudes in Syrtis. ^^
I got cured and logged off quickly right after.

I don't know if I will log in again, because we don't know when this event will end.
I remember all those dudes asking for kisses after Valentine event because they were still cursed and cannot fight with -100% hit chance.

I bet on a new bug right after event:
"Hey NGD, I still have purple fever on my char, but medicine is not available anymore. Could you remove it please ?"
then... waiting for reply from NGD ticket system. :D

Seems you take this game to seriously.
That is the fun :D
Actualy i made same think ,tryng to infect ppl to make this event more interesting.
So what if my realm get invadet,so what if i have low hp?At least to have fun.
Remember....is just a game.

[NSer]

Well what happens when 50% Infected? event ends xD?

[_Enio_]

Well what happens when 50% Infected? event ends xD?

I got told at 40% the realm gates break. Could be funny.

That is why I logged. I was tired and sometimes these things grate on raw, tired nerves especially when it is done in excess of 10 times in short order. At that point it really is no fun to me. If a spider does it, or an ally does it unintentionally, or an enemy gives it to me , no problem.
When I have my own allies running after me to give it to me excessively, well that is another story. It is the long awaited friendly fire button that so many want I suppose.
When I got back I was fine. A little rest does wonders. That and a long range marks I could use xD

I don't think I take the game too serious but, I am still human and everything that goes with that.

Edit; 40% is going to be tough to get. Even in the height of Ignis infection mania we never really got it past 24%.

Aslius got 30 mins ago xD

[isgandarli]

That's why when i logged in i've found that every realm's saves were empty... Shiiish Event...

[lunedor]

And? You can do it only once, and medicine only lasts 10min.

If no one has, then good luck to fight with -35% of your hp.

Yesterday before logging off, I had in my inventory a potion with always 10/10 doses, and this potion removed the purple disease.

Today, when I log on, I don't find the potion anymore. So I will spend my free time in another place until the end of the event. :facepalm3:

[Pnarpa]

I raged at first, but I kinda like this now... Needs some tweaking though.

[PT_DaAr_PT]

Needs some tweaking though.

I agree. When the event first launched, people wouldn't go mad about getting the fever because it increased HP instead of decreasing like now, they'd be more worried about not to reach 50% and they were pretty serious about it... Maybe if it was reverted back, people wouldn't go "hurr durr i no wonna fite wit low hp".

So, if you wanted the infection, you'd have to be careful not to contribute to reach 50%. And that is where low level players come with potions and save their realm!!!11 wutevur

It would definitely stop most of the whining.

[VeterKh]

very nice NGD! ty!

but what we got for this event?! premium items?! or what?!

[NSer]

very nice NGD! ty!

Ur realm not being losing door^^ better than any premium crap imo

[Ricksa]

Syrtis gate broke at 20% yesterday, so unexpecting that the gem pretty much strolled out with little resistance.

[Anpu]

Question for NGD:
was this quest inspired by the bug in WOW from 2005, Corrupted Blood (http://www.wowpedia.org/Corrupted_Blood)?

[dsdeiz]

Well then, looks like this event is a fail... :crying1:

[Kitsuni]

The servers keep going down several times a day, and there's an issue where when the server goes down, the realm gates open up. This is because there is zero players logged in due to the server being down, and then a few players log in and one or two gets infected by doing something dumb. So you instantly reach the 20-30-40%-50% or whatever it is that is required within seconds of the server coming back up and the guards die.

[Kellindil82]

This event has some issues but i still like they try something new.

[magic_gandalf_007]

Asked before but did not see an answer yet.
When does this event end ?
I'll try the game again once the event has ended.
Hope someone knows the enddate.

What can you do with these imperialist things?

[kasper10]

lol ignis gate is also destroyed and now alsius gate is safe.. and syrtis gate still in danger

[Kellindil82]

Anyone knows something about imperialist zombies?

I don't know if that behaviour was intentional, but it looks strange to me.

[Darcyeti]

Could we please get friendly fire during this event?

I hate being infected over and over again by some players who think it is fun to infect as many players as they could to get the gate broken.

This event is showing the difference between egomaniacs and teamplayers.

Sadly to much egos in my realm.

[standistortion]

This a good event, co-operation is just as important as the forts now, we don't co-operate our gate goes. Looks like the event is being tweaked as it goes on, if it was toned down a bit (maybe takes 1 sec to catch from another player) it could be good as a permanent feature.

Could do with a not-friends list too though and some indication above players if they on either list, a lot of folks deliberately infecting other players.

[Seher]

lol that actually sounds interesting, nice!

That's exactly what I was thinking. An ... event? A real one, no endless mob hunt?
I'm impressed, really, for the first time since last year's balance update.

Why do you say so? :(

The purpose of this is to develop a little bit more the interaction between high- lvls and low-lvls.

For example, high-lvls chars can take advantage of the enemy's situation, considering the fact that they'll be looking around for spiders in their map. This should be used whether by invading or just getting thins moving out in the warzone.

On the other hand, low-lvls chars can help out by completing the brand new quest in every realm's main city.
This way they'll be getting medicine that can be used to cure high lvl chars so they can give their best out there in the battlefield; and of course they will be helping by reducing the percentage of infected population, since if it's goes up to 50%, the realm will be automatically turn to a Vulnerable status!

It's all about cooperation, guys!

Best regards!

Interesting concept. It sure needs much tweaking, but the idea is indeed nice. I'd love to see an improved version of this event one day!

[bois]

In the initial stages I must admit I was a bit worried about this event. I am usually biased against many NGD events so I decided to not be too negative.

When the infection boosted HP I found it very odd. It was then fixed and HP was cut due to infection. Yet again I thought that NGD had a nice idea and just failed to take it to a win.
Luckily, I think they did actually make this a great event. Rumour has it that happenings in Raven caused the adjustments but they ended up to be pretty good.
No malus for infections and your gate goes when the rate hits 35% or 40% (not sure). We can fight, people are going after gems, hunting, defending and even occasional fort action. End to end stuff. Very exciting , a nice pace (not too fast or slow) and good action that does not need a zerg (although it helps). There is no malus or punishment of Negative HP so everyone is happy.
In the end lots of people chatted and interacted with inner realm and a general good time was had by most. There are still some no so happy folks but for me, it turned out pretty nice (after 3 revisions). At least in Ignis it was so.

I will chalk this event up on the win side for NGD. That Halloween event is still #1 in my mind though.

As far as I know I think the Imperialist Zombies may be an accident that came from a Raven only event.

The irony is that, this may be the most relaxing and enjoyable type of invasion system that NGD has come up with so far.

This is rediculous, Frosk said this was to create cooperation? No all this is doing is making me HATE my fellow igneans. People running around purposely infecting others should be banned. Purple Fever = FAIL. Please remove this stupid event as soon as possible, at least you all removed the HP loss, which makes it tolerable, but people like Daar are treasonous, and I don't want them in my realm, please address this issue.

Stay. Away. From me. It's not my fault there are people who prefer no action all day. This event is starting to show its potential(read bois' post) and you're just trying to prevent it.

[Southbound]

For me personally, I was never a fan of any kind of event.
I know NGD has the best intentions for us, trying to bring something new into "the daily routine".. that's however is not why I log on to this game, every day.

I like the "ordinary" wars and fights we have! Only complaint about it (as a Horus player) is that we have too little of it.
Some realm takes our fort, u make 2-3 runs at it.. but can't seem to gather more then half the strenght of the opposing realm..

But this post isn't about that..
I'd just like to thank NGD for giving us the +xpbonus/droprate!
Like I said, I'm not a fan of most kind of events.. so I'll be grinding throu it (wich I dont mind at all) So I might as well take this opportunity to get some xp on the chars I have left to make lvl 60 :)

[Psynocide]

A mock black plague.. I'm sure it was fun for those in 1350 so lets make an event of it.

Brilliant.

[TheOnlyAmasar]

I would stay away, but since you intentionaly parked your infected rear at the gate, I had no choice, when asked to move by serveral Igneans you refused.... so give me another option. You know the event may have its merits, but purposely infecting your fellow realm mates is not one of them. I never said I am opposed to action, but I am opposed to you bringing down our realm instead of Alsius or Syrtius. What are you some kind of multirealming spy logging in only to bring us down? Wouldn't surprise me. I really don't care if you hate me forever after this, but know this, it was your refusal to quarantine yourself for the good of the realm that brought this upon yourself, so you can consider me to be a hate-monger or whatever you wish, but heres a good saying "Don't start nothing, won't be nothing"

[bois]

I actually ran around for a while trying to disinfect him and certain other vectors with medicine. That yielded mixed results. The medicine lasts only so long, but it did keep the infection in check somewhat. Fortunately, we do have others that make the effort to keep the infection rate in check.

Invariably, the balance tips when we go and get infected by enemies either by fort taking or going after their gems or even war in general.

But I can certainly understand why you may get disturbed by this action. Hidra was so kind as to remind me that it is just a game. I try to keep that perspective.
Luckily there is an XP / drop rate bonus on so that those who don't want purple fever action (irritation) can maybe take advantage of this. Of course war goes on sort of so that anybody can tag along at any time if they so choose.
I wager this event lasts a week.

[PT_DaAr_PT]

I would stay away, but since you intentionaly parked your infected rear at the gate, I had no choice, when asked to move by serveral Igneans you refused....
Who owns the gate to decide whether or not infected players have the right to stay there or not? Have you even played on Ra? The first thing you will get when you respawn at the save altar or at the gate is the infection. Wanna complain about them all being "realm traitors" too?

You know the event may have its merits, but purposely infecting your fellow realm mates is not one of them.
You mad? Everyone decides what they want to do in-game, whether you like it or not.

I never said I am opposed to action, but I am opposed to you bringing down our realm instead of Alsius or Syrtius.
How dare I to bring so much action into our gates! :O
(Fyi: I've been infecting enemies too. Less mad?)

What are you some kind of multirealming spy logging in only to bring us down? Wouldn't surprise me.
I'm flattered but no, I'm not. There's just pure and proud Ignean blood in me.

I really don't care if you hate me forever after this, but know this, it was your refusal to quarantine yourself for the good of the realm that brought this upon yourself, so you can consider me to be a hate-monger or whatever you wish, but heres a good saying "Don't start nothing, won't be nothing"
Who are you? I've never seen you before. O.o
And looking at the screenshot you posted, I did not refuse your brute commands, I did move from my original place so I don't see why you're here claiming that I refuse to do what you want...

[maximus-decimus]

level 60 conju, nice to be infected, having 2.4K HP and be a onehit for barbarians. Nice event again.

Please just let go of events in the future, you dont have a clue about the game any changes make are just facepalming the rest :facepalm3:

On Server niflheim the gates are always open, because players always crash when the infection reaches 50%, unfortunatelly anybody has to handle with this negative event, you have no choice, so you have to wait a week to be able to play again.....

At least No one takes care for the Bindrollback anymore.

[_Enio_]

All in all i found it quite amusing. There were much bitching and stuff but those open gates (and boats) combined with overall quite similar numbers from what i saw lead to lots of funny gem attemps, Realms Generals kills and overall much wz traffic/action.

So from my perspective, the 3rd version, with all realms havin open gates once evry hour been lots of fun especially because the realm numbers seemd to be quite in balance while i playd.

I love going camo and infecting all my enemies at save :)

And who said this event was not for hunters?

Stay. Away. From me. It's not my fault there are people who prefer no action all day. This event is starting to show its potential(read bois' post) and you're just trying to prevent it.
Just to let you know, I've been infected by people barely in sight range. It is highly contagious, and you were still well within infection range of everyone there even after moving. This is why I said the event is a bit unfair to those who don't want to participate, because they don't get an option. Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of the event. The outbreak can't be controlled well enough on Raven so gate has been down 90% of the time. Haven't tried Horus or RA, are they fairing any better?

I'd prefer if the gate would at least stay up for 30 minutes so the realm could get some R&R between invasions.

By the way people, please complain in complaint book, its there and you're free to unleash your rage in it. Some of us are kind of tired of seeing the official threads all filled up with this stuff. Its not too hard to talk about it civil here and save the drama for a complaint thread, even I do it now. :p

[BudapestKnight2]

well .. I know atleast 5 ppl that said in lat 10 sec that this is worst event ever ... + 1 that will take longer break,so long as event lasts .

So who all hates this event ?

And from me and friends ... Remove it !!!!

+1 yes, remove it !!!!

It's not fun cause alsius is winning <3

Overall I agree with Enio, this event is hilarious xD Makes "invasions" way more fun :clapclap: I don't get why people are complaining, it's mass chaos in the warzone, go have fun with it. Take a gem or two, kill some nobles, who cares :p

[TheMessenger]

I love this invent now.

Thank you NGD <3

[harrrr]

this event has killed fort wars entirely. instead of having any kind of structured battle, or fun of any kind. the entire time is spent at the realm wall trying not to get infected while waiting for an enemy to grab a gem so we can get it back.

we had a nice xp boost thanks to frosk, but all that did was encourage people to grind rather than war, so then when the realm gate inevitably breaks (because people think its funny to spread the infection), there are more people grinding than defending the gate.

the only thing good i have to say about this event is: at least it's not the St. Valentine's day event.

[ufkn]

Syrtis zerging every fort and spamming everything... hmm structured battle., I beg to differ. I would take this event any day over that.

[harrrr]

Syrtis zerging every fort and spamming everything... hmm structured battle., I beg to differ. I would take this event any day over that.

this event completely negates the purpose of forts or realm gates. why don't we just get rid of forts, take the gates off the wall and let the players go nuts? because that is basically what is happening. the realm gates break every hour or so and player can just walk in and take gems and whatnot. normally i wouldn't have such an issue with it, but it happens so often that it makes the game boring to play (especially because usually when i am on, there are only 2 or 3 other people). instead of having fun with the game, it becomes a chore.

[BudapestKnight2]

Do not remove the event! I like it :clapclap: It brings such a lot of fun to the gem :D :D :D

Cheap gem-taking methots are not fun, Wizi. Otherwise how could you size it up, when you never assisted any invastions? :facepalm3:

[wizardmagewarlock]

Otherwise how could you size it up, when you never assisted any invastions? :facepalm3:

I like the invasions on RA and i usually help my realmmates to take/defend the gem there :play_ball:
And, I'm sorry i wanted to write "game" instead of gem. I was a little tired :)

[Seher]

I played a bit again and have to admit - I love it. :D
Sure, it's dumb as fuck, but it really is something different, this event completely changes the gameplay. Ignore any infection, and enjoy this open door stuff xD

[bois]

I have been through all kinds of events and was here before invasions began, through all kinds of invasions and iterations from NGD and I personally find this event to be a nice change of pace.

I do find this event lightens the game up if you allow yourself to not take it serious. Personally, this is far superior to the terrible game play that I experience with the current save system and fort wars as is.

It is a drag when the server goes to sleep or one side is on a low ebb I must agree but, that is a population polarisation issue and not so much the fault of this event.

The fact that you do not lose health and you are able to cure yourself means that you do not have to participate if you don't want to. Indeed I did some good grinding on an alternate . There is a choice.
The only downside is that eventually (if event goes on long enough) one realm is going to get a malus. This will bring complaints. NGD really needed to put a 'dispell' type wish to remove all malus placed on the victim realm.
This is only a quick and dirty fix though. Not elegant at all.

It shows the weakness of the invasion reward system.
In time they should improve invasions to eliminate all malus and only give benefits in wish system. Devise an alternate system that gives malus/ benefit. That system will involve holding of artefacts which can be smuggled out by boats or gate. In such a case the malus will be very small and affects elemental powers . Optionally, all Realms have a slight bonus for having their artefact at home. If it is stolen they lose their realm special bonus. If they steal the opponents artefacts, they gain the elemental defensive bonus of that artefact. Something like that. This is for another thread. I stop here.

[Kellindil82]

I felt this event started like a beta but for now it's cool and i like it. In my opinion fever should be end when 50-100 spiders left, because it's real hard to find the last ones and this encourages people to kill them at all.

Would someone please wake up when this nightmare will be over?

[wizardmagewarlock]

What an amazing event :D It gives some active hours to the War Zone because we are trying to take each realm's gems.
What's more, everyone could kill nobles, so don't remove this event till the noble quest resets.

[Klutu]

I personally love this event!

Makes the game a lot more relaxing

It's a nice change of pace from the usual fights!

+1 NGD :)

[standistortion]

What is it with folks screwing things up for their realm with this event? Something new gets put into RO and players appear from nowhere to abuse any weakness. It was the same with warmasters, they where OP'd and this was abused every night.

Sure, its a game and the aim is to have fun, but getting a kick out of spoiling other players fun until they quit is just messed up.

[Dome]

This may be the perfect population balancing tool for regnum.

Weakest realm only infects on contact (range 1), mid strong on range 4-6, and the most populated infects in an area of 7-10.
(A clustured population increases the chance of infection after all.)

Lower the chance of infection and the hit to HP and this can be a permanent balance tool in wars.

There have been some wars won or lost because of plagues.

[AariEv]

The HP malus at the beginning of the event was annoying, but once removed I actually like this update. Dunno about everyone else, but I've seen wars more like before we got the new saves.

Taking it a step further, the concept behind the event (how something bad happens when a certain amount of the population is under some effect) is something I'd like to see added to Regnum......or not. To be honest, I have no set idea as to how this can be added permanently to the game, but the concept of the event was great

kind regards

[andres81]

Actually you don't need different ranges for that. Higher populated realms are easier to be infected just because there are more players close to each other. If NGD would implement a more natural way of infection (=not instantly) you would note this effect. xD

I am agree with Klutu.

After a few tweaks of event finaly he works how it was supposed to work.
Yes i love this breacks of usual fights that was boring.

+1 for NGD from my side too.

Daily log in begined before with camp Meni...now noone it's safe anywhere :D
Hunters and enemys everywhere ,random thiefs that stolen gems etc ...action it's a lots better and with more options than before :D

And this event gave more life to realm chat that some ppl complaint about...it's very interesting anyway.

i think the action (with this event) has screeched to a halt. i have to put up a banner and wait for 5 minutes to get 3 people together to take a fort. and when someone finally decides to go into the realm, gems are completely forgotten as people go nuts over going after the goddamn noble.

i can't wait for this event to be over.

[NSer]

i can't wait for this event to be over.

I too those damn nubz who instead of grinding and curing urself run in WZ and spread infection makes me wanna fire those :/

Ah well personaly i got bored to hear at meni 10 hours/day "22/30",.."i need 3 gelfs"...."i need 10 reds... " i am not a adict of fort camping(farming) and "30/30" action that is a usual daily from at least 6 months :P

This kind of action is more complex and it's more random,more hunt partys around.

And btw ...what for to take a fort when gates open theyself? :D

Dont worry ...alll will be back soon at daily farm at Samal/Trelle/Aggers/Alga :P

A breack of 1 week or two from daily shity camp fort for more action(diferent) action seems to make ppl angry...somehow this kind of complaint are default for fort campers/rps adicts/W coins adicts...this kind of guys will never have fun ...just play for rank...or OP items.

the gates opening themselves is the part of this i don't like. it requires no skill or coordination to get a gem. it only has to be one idiot that gets really lucky. I've gotten a syrtis gem that way. all i had to do is take the boats, walk over to the gem, grab it, and walk out. i should not have been able to do that. but it seems people are so obsessed with warcoins and nobles that gems are a secondary objective now. and this event is only a catalyst for that.

instead of risking your chances by spliting forces, that have to be closely cooperating, to take forts and attempt to hold them. then meet at the gate and try to break it down while constantly being battered by the entire enemy realm, its is now: get a group. go to boats. go to gem. get gem. go out the front door.

at first, that does seem a bit enticing, but after a few minutes of experiencing the actual thing, it is very stale and boring (from my point of view anyways). especially with syrtis' overpopulation. they just do whatever they feel like with no one to stop them because players have either stopped playing because of the event, or are too busy going after nobles.

[Frosk]

Event will be over this Wednesday!

This is the part what make your realm to cooperate,to comunicate and kill the thief :D

Not so much cooperate in fort fights...get a empty fort by breack a door.And camp him how much you can wile 20 enemys farm 5 ppl...awesome cooperation....:D

[Klutu]

I was actually thinking the same. Maybe instead of the disease make it Monsters

Ignis (Orcs)

Alsius (Trolls)

Syrtis (Cyclops)

Gotta keep the enemy mob low or the gates get destroyed by them. Would be a little more realistic then a purple fever that breaks down the gate ^^

Make fortwars give WM Coins so people still have a reason to take forts.

And make the saves respawnable whenever the enemy has the fort which your binded too.. >.>

its much easier to plan a time, tell people to be their and set up structured communication channels via teamspeak or mumble or whatever. its much much more difficult to communicate at random to kill a large group of baddies when the timing is completely random and when you are severely outnumbered.

its not too different to what is happening now. like i mentioned before, get a group and get the gem. get out. there is not even a need for cooperation. just stick in the same vicinity and you shouldn't have much of an issue.

i've thought a lot about this style of game as opposed to how the game is usually played, and some people like having the gate down all the time. so why not just take the entire wall out. hell, put the gems at the end of the nearest bridges to make it easier for the enemy to walk away with them. it's like saying that you have these 2 gems of unspeakable power and value, and you build a wall around your territory to keep them away from enemies. but you just decide to have a hole in the wall because why the hell not. "here, i'll just walk through this hole in your secure facility". even in theory it is just nonsensical.

The idea of adding mobs that you have to kill to keep the gate from coming down is not the worst ive seen, but it adds an element to the game that i'm not sure would be beneficial. would having to kill the mobs all the time be a fun aspect of the game? or would it ultimately become a chore? i predict that it would become a chore. although hindsight is 20/20, foresight is rarely so clear. this all depends on how often the gate would be brought down by these mobs and how well the realm population can handle these at various times of the day.

[andres81]

This is wrong, killing all the spiders you only get more infected spiders back. xD
It is easier to stop; the only thing you need is the healing potion from the quest (yes, the quest asking you to kill the spiders) - make the first section of the quest (getting the potion) and then stop (don't finish the quest) and you will have the possibility to heal you with a single mouseclick whenever you want (unlimited times).

PS: if you finish the quest the potion is errased, so don't do it.

Unfortunately bad news. I liked this event. Only - very short term. But it was all the same cheerful!

THANKS!!!!

[standistortion]

Gotta keep the enemy mob low or the gates get destroyed by them. Would be a little more realistic then a purple fever that breaks down the gate ^^
Still gives the advantage to the most populated realms though, this event favored lower populations and teamwork.

A few points:
Didn't like the way everything was reset when the outbreak was over, would have preferred the gate to open when infection reached 50% and to close again when infection has been below 50% for maybe 5 min. As it was folks didn't care about infection once the gate was down.

The infection was too contagious, if a single member of a war group had an infection the whole group had it almost instantly. It would have been better if you at least had time to move away from the infected player.

Needed some kind of negative effect on the infected, as it was there wasn't enough emphasis on getting cured. A steady health reduction over time would have been nice but there could be a variety of sicknesses with different effects.

With a variety of sickness there could be a variety of cures, from simply buying it off an apothecary for gold through to quests requiring some otherwise useless mob guts, maybe the harder potions needing guts from another realms inner mobs.

Infection is a great weapon for hunters, there are a lot of ways this could be expanded on such as buying a disease from an apothecary or a poisoned arrow for a huge amount of gold.

Species of mobs could get diseased as well as plagues of infected mobs spawning. Could catch bear flue from any species of bear or cock rot from a plague of leprous cockerels, the town criers could warn of outbreaks.

Enough brain farts, liked this event a lot and see a lot of potential with the system (got a kick out of 'NGD introduces more bugs with every update' too :) ). Hope to see more of it in the future.

[bois]

I liked the event. I can't believe I am actually writing that about a NGD event.

Sure it was not perfect and maybe more complexity could have been added but I think that generally it was a good one. It was not intense and the action was good. Light hearted (for some) and made a new angle on warring.

For me it lightened this game which I find was becoming less and less fun and more like a chore without simplistic moments of fun. This game was becoming too serious and frustrating in parts.

Sure, I think components of disease would be fun to add to the game in more permanent fashion but I would prefer that such components remain in the war zone and affect only forts. Its effects should also be minor, operate by time of day and operate on the AI rather than the player-base as a whole.
Night blindness could be an example.

This event also suggested something to me. Invasions would be more fun and in the long run better for the game, if they were more light hearted and fun based rather that the mechanical, brooding, scripted ones we have now.
As usual I have a few ideas but, it has too many flaws to release yet. If I ever work them out I might put it out there for the critics.

I think that too..invasions was a lots more fun and better on event than in usual mechanics.

I think this event must gave some ideas to NGD how to tweak a bit more invasions mechanics.

It was more PvP than Player vs AI(PvE).

And from my point just because so many spots what need it to be defendet balanced a lots more easy weack realms.

There was like was not any kind of imbalance of realms.

[NotScias]

I was first very doubtful about this event, but after it got tuned (no more malus especially) it got kinda fun and really breaking from the usual fort wars routine.

Also the problem of invasions was that very often it was requiring a very large amount of people to be successful, while this event made it possible for small groups to have a chance to get the gems, requiring more strategy and teamwork and resulting in very thrilling and fun fights everywhere on the map.
The fact that enemies were able to transmit the disease was also a good thing and gave a nice but nasty roles to hunters.

However, some things still needed to be tuned. The Quests (and items) had to be fixed and made repeateable after a short amount of time (the medicine one especially), the infection was way too infectious making it extremely hard to be cured, as using potion would give only a second of rest before being re-infected again.
I think the potions (if working correctly tho concerning the limited uses) should have given a short immunity period.

Anyways it was cool to see a different event than usual, even tho it was not perfect. I'm also very glad to see you didn't fell into the "premium-reserved" events mood like for the last events.

Let's hope you'll make creative events like this in the future.

Now it would be very cool if we could get a reward for those who participed in the event, a hat or clothing from these new NPCs that were giving the quests for example ?

So thanks NGD and Frosk for this event!

[harrrr]

There was like was not any kind of imbalance of realms.

you must not either 1) play on horus. or 2) have an IQ over freezing. i really do hope that it is #1, because i really don't want to know that someone that oblivious can exist.

i've seen syrtis open the portal 2-3 times in one day because there isn't anyone to keep syrtis from taking the gems when the gates inevitably go down. when the gems are being taken out of the realm by 25+ gelfs, and only 4 people are at the gates to stop them, you can NOT say that there is not a realm imbalance. at this point, the imbalance becomes less of an opinion and more of an empirical fact. however, this may not be the case on other servers.

[HidraA]

Wuahahaha you made me to laught a lots :D

Drama queen ? :D


You know what at least at hours that i played there was no issues.
At least in Alsius.

Was a damn good cooperation im my realm.
All alsius defendet they spot and gems.Wee had many hunters that finaly played they role.Wee had people that camped gates/portal where was gems/and noble in Montsognir.Nothing moving in alsius without hunters to report or not get killed.

That why i was talking about cooperation of realm.

Heyy heyyy!

The event, as I said a couple of days ago, will be ending today at 4 pm (GMT)!

After it's finished, I'll be proceeding to close this thread; and I might just give you guys some 24 hs. bonuses for you to enjoy while the last of those spiders get wiped out, and the infection gets properly handled and depleted. :D

Stay tuned, and best regards! :thumb:
