Well might as well post them.. But I can't remember the last time either. I like it, but perhaps a different aesthetic? Zombies are a tad played out, and overdone.. Or maybe my friends just talk too much about TWD.. Cursed perhaps? Or plague?
The topic subject gave me doubts with the zombie craze of recent times, but after reading through, great job chaos! I support this as a holiday event for sure. It's basically the same pvp system we have now with a few minor tweaks that devs could easily change to their systems I bet. Just as a thought, because devs always include rewards, they should bring back the global award the way they did for vigor wisps. Once close to 100% ish of the opted in populaton is reached, we all get a shiny badge on achievements! Survivors at the very end get some other badge for making it. That's my 2 cents
I'm 100% sure that devs will invoke their own version for the Halloween event... Why ruin their original storyline with such a modern idea as zombies Maybe it'll be like ghostly apparations like the ones in The Haunting and Figure of Death
Chaos, objectively, what do you think the chances are of something like this being done? Not to take away from your idea, as I said, I like it, but we've supported a lot of forum ideas before, and meh.. They don't get done.
This event could be exploited if players opt in near the end of the event and try to avoid the zombies to gain the survivor achievement
Typically, it depends on the amount of resources it would take to implement an idea. Many players suggest ideas which are while an ongoing event is taking place. Something the developers already had planned in motion and unless the event is going terribly, they'll leave it as is. Feedback from this thread will say a lot, on whether it's a liked idea for them to consider! This thread implements and uses many of the current mechanics currently existent in game. Seizing a blade in a pvp event is something we currently can do, so is a pvp war knock out feature. Now, expanding and building upon these mechanics is what it would entail, for such a zombie event to go live.
That's why they make no opt in and have a limited sign up, like season5. Or an opt in within 24 hours of event start. Edit: OK not like S5 but more like the weekend thingy for pinions.
