How Do you feel about events?

[iamisom]

Goodness. That was so simple. Are you saying you could lock the item... similar to the chicken or PS+ pets? I think that would definitely help the situation. People wouldn't be in the event unless they actually wanted the item.

NVM. It just occurred to me that doing that would essentially punish the people who couldn't get into the event but still wanted an event item. There would be no way for them to get it post-event.

Again... unsure of a solution.

We could definitely lock the items to the account, should that become necessary.

I think a better solution would be to make it so that duplicated items don't disappear.

Locking the items would mean that if u miss the event that you have no chance of ever getting to have it.

[mcwolves71]

Though if you can lock an item to an account is it possible that you could make it so that your account saves event weapons to an online save file...kind of like your ranking in an online shooter, so that the player has no access to the save involving the event item?

That way u can still trade but can't duplicate it.

I just realized that locking the items wouldn't be possible. Our hosts wouldn't be able to drop the items. The event item would be like the Chicken.

Well if you did trendy hosted events you could modify the reward of the map to be the event item no?

therefore it could lock like the chicken

Perhaps something like "self detonating" items. Ones that would start of OP but degrade over time until it's essentially worthless. Literally becomes a trophy after a few months. Pretty but useless. There would be no way to duplicate something like that because it will still have the "internal" clock ticking and all of those event items will lose their OP stats at the same time.

This mechanic would also limit the comparison of new event items to old ones. It's always starting from scratch and you never have to worry about out-doing yourself in the future because the new event items will ALWAYS be better than the old ones... for a few months at least.

I don't know if that's possible as I'm sure it would take a patch or 2 to write that code into the game. Or maybe it would be impossible to write.

Just throwing out ideas.

IMO that is a very BAD idea pretty much ruins the whole point of handing out items if they lose everything they were

99%of event items, new and old, are just tavern decorations anyway.

I like the idea of degrading items, but think it would be much too dificult to add in.

Cmon....99%?

Cmon....99%?

I think he rounded up from 98.625
