So I had this idea for an random event and it goes like this
A Weird Noise
"You hear something disturbing the animals outside. For a second you think it is not worth your atention, but you feel in your guts that this time is different as you hear your animals panicking."
The idea is that this event would occur if you have built a Chicken Coop or a Rabbit Hutch and it would make 1 of your chicken/rabbit dissapear (maybe more? Im not trying to make a toxic event here, just something interesting so lets stick with only 1) from the building and fox tracks would spawn around it and going away from it (using the scent machanic is how I see it). Then you would track the fox down and kill it (maybe finding what remained of your chicken too, like bones or guts).
It would be a rare event that happens when you are online and near your rabbit hutch/chicken coop. Youl would have to be in a biome where you normally find foxes (duh). You could even find something cool like a curio. Maybe you could take a trophy off of that fox that invaded your base or an curio like "big fox brain" because the bastard was smart enough to steal a chicken right under a player's nose hahaha! Or even a way to find the entrance of a future fox dungeon? (just saying).
What you guys think?

Re: New Event Idea (A weird Noise)
it would need to be very uncommon or people will not enjoy their animals getting swiped for no explicable reason.

Re: New Event Idea (A weird Noise)
I like this idea! Again there'd have to be a certain balance to ensure it didn't become, as you say, a toxic event. But overall I think it's a great flavor addition.

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Sure! It would be a quite rare event. Having 1 of your chicken being taken away everyday would suck.Vigilance wrote:it would need to be very uncommon or people will not enjoy their animals getting swiped for no explicable reason.

lol. I like it! Make the curio "Swiper's Swipers" and it's a pare of paws with large, spindly claws on it. Make it a gilding that gives like 4-5 DEX and 2-3 Stealth at q10.sabinati wrote:swiper no swiping!Vigilance wrote:it would need to be very uncommon or people will not enjoy their animals getting swiped for no explicable reason.

Re: New Event Idea (A weird Noise)
I like the general idea of more events and the fact that this would enable tracking mechanics outside of the pvp field (let's face it: prospecting atm isn't a challenge).
Good one!
