King/Queen of H&H

King/Queen of H&H

Postby Brickbreaker » Tue May 25, 2010 8:53 pm

Frederik and Bjorn will place a crown somewhere randomly in H&H.

The crown can:
-Be put on just like how you put on a gauze
-Not be able to be stored in your inventory or stored in a storage medium (your either wearing it or it's on the ground)
-Do absolutely nothing at all (unless the devs want it to)
-Not be craftable
-Leave your character visible and just standing there from when you logged out. So if you logged out in the middle of the woods, then your avatar just stands there
-Make it so you can't be killed without a scent but the crown can be stolen off of you by any random noob
-Be tracked down by anyone, anytime, anywhere by simply using a special craftable scent that is very easy to make

I actually thought and briefly mentioned this a while ago. It could be a fun endgame kind of thing.

Basically, it gives you some level of prestige and possibly a buff, at the cost of being hunted for it? Interesting concept, though I don't quite see how it would fit into the game.

Sounds like it would be fun actually...

I just hope by the 'can't kill you' thing you mean when offline. :)

What happens if it's dropped into the water or the wearer drowns himself?

I'd assume it would either randomly spawn or be 'gone' until a new one is up for grabs.


'Twould truly suck to have that happen.

I love this idea. It's like the One Ring. People would fight wars just to possess it. If it is implemented I think it should give a learning rate buff to everyone in your village, that way people would want it for more than bragging rights.

Yeah I would like that buff.

This would be hilarious. The amount of whine on the forums from noobs who get this and then have their entire town raided by griefers coz anyone can track the scent of it. Heh, implementing it just for the lulz. No serious village would ever use it. Its the perfect way to paint a target on yourself. Only the most powerful village could hold it for long and I doubt it would be worth the effort. Except of course that it does make the strong even stronger.

Agreed

This doesn't make any sense and seems pointless and trivial.
Brickbreaker wrote:-Do absolutely nothing at all (unless the devs want it to)

Seems a bit stupid to include an in-game item that would make somebody a King or Queen of the entire hearthlands if it is merely cosmetic.
Brickbreaker wrote:-Not be craftable

This doesn't make any sense and seems really dumb. I guess what you're saying is that there should be only one "King's Crown" so to speak, but if you are going to include crowns they should be able to be made much like any other item. Having easier to make crowns such as Bone Crowns, and the more complex Bronze Crowns and what have you, just make it so only one crown actually effects the wearer and gives them King/Queen status.
Brickbreaker wrote:-Leave your character visible and just standing there from when you logged out. So if you logged out in the middle of the woods, then your avatar just stands there

Useless addition.
Brickbreaker wrote:-Make it so you can't be killed without a scent but the crown can be stolen off of you by any random noob

This makes no sense and needs to be re-worked, kings and queens all throughout history have been killed off and their murderers surely didn't require any scent. Why make it easily stolen if the wearer is unkillable? Why not just put in forcefield technology while you are at it since this is basically what you are describing.
Brickbreaker wrote:-Be tracked down by anyone, anytime, anywhere by simply using a special craftable scent that is very easy to make

So what you are saying is that the Crown would be used solely for simple meta-game purposes, giving people something to do without really affecting anything? Why make it a crown then why not make it a special Fox's tail or something. Using a crown evokes images of a person who rules over other people, this would be impossible to enact in-game save for the roleplayers out there who would gladly play along, however the number of griefers v. role-players probably weighs heavily in the griefers favor. If you are going to add this I say go ahead because I'd be glad to steal the crown and take it to the most southern point of the game world forcing my pursuers to waste a great deal of time and effort for no apparent reason.

Also if the Crown wearer is invulnerable while they wear it, but the crown is easily stolen, all I can imagine is people running around each other in circles trying to steal the crown. Moreover, someone simply stealing the crown and then killing the previous crown-wearer. This idea is poorly thought out and I don't particularly care for it but if it is added it will not affect me or any others who agree with me because we will simply not play along, save to ruin other peoples fun by taking the crown a fuck-all distance away from civilization.
