Apocalypse

Post by DK114 »

I was pondering world resets and how people were pissed due to lack of warning and I thought of (what I believe to be) an amazing idea.

A world reset is kind of like the end of days right? So why not make it feel like it?

I think the programmer for this game can really have fun with this. '

Near the end of a world stuff like this could happen:

- rivers drying up
- trolls spawning in the world's strongest cities
- all the fields becoming barren
- rabbits, and chickens becoming as strong as boars
- all the black skills are given to everyone
- desecrating corpses enabled

Basically all hell breaks loose :)

The reason for this idea is twofold. Firstly, if people see rivers of lava they could reasonably assume that a world reset is coming up :P. Also, it would be fun trying to survive in an apocalyptic world for a bit :). It would be a good test for all the experienced players who find the normal challenges of haven and hearth too easy.

It'd be alot of fun, but I don't think we quite have time to waste on it. :)

thats a shame but I understand
perhaps instead just a continuous night or reddish haze for the days leading up to the reset?

how about bloodrain and maybe a slight red in the sun/moonlight?
(oops, suggested before)

anyway, would implementing random trollspawn be that much work?
