April Fool's Event - Bristlebane Mayhem Feedback & Funnies

[drakkan]

Cool idea, I know a lot of people enjoyed it.

Ideas for next time: Bring back warder loot mixed into the equation or pop warders all together - this is an era a lot of people never saw because we all got cucked by Rampage. We get they made history here but I'd have to assume more than 80% of those in that guild are gone, and that loot never is even shown off anymore. You guys brought back a legacy item on the tunare drops (cleric staff), why not warder legacy items?

Also, the guise debacle. Why are they so rare? Average has to be less than 1 a year over the years. Even if 50 were given out a year, they'd still be extremely rare. And half the time I hear that someone gets one, they put it on a gnome cleric or something silly so who really is counting. Along the same lines, there's nearly 0 gnome illusion masks on the server, again, warder loot discussion above.

Anyway, I think the mix up really invigorates the server, it should happen as often as the drafts do.

I missed the event except for Tunare as well, so doing another one would be nice to experience. Thanks for trying to keep the server fresh.

Best fun I've had raiding in ages.

Some ideas:

• Instead of making most guises fake, just make them only work for non-iksar and it'll have roughly the same effect. Live with your choices, lizards.
• Introduce fake manastones that take health when clicked but don't give mana. Plant a single real manastone on a random mob in the level range of evil eye.
• Love the idea of including completed quest items like the PoM flowers as mob loot, perhaps expand on that with spirit wracked cord, garzicor items, essence lens items, etc.

Thank you for not including warder loot. If people want that, they will always have the next iteration of green to try.

Very much appreciate the time and effort that went into this event. There was a resoundingly positive response from our guild. The biggest takeaways were the jumbled loot tables and the staggered spawns. I think a "shockwave" Quake in the future could be fun where Velious quakes first, then Kunark, then old world with a random time between continents so that guilds can't just sit and wait knowing exactly when Kunark/ Old world will quake. Speaking from someone who can play EQ while working from home but not as much on the weekend's due to family commitments it would be great to see an event happen during a weekday as opposed to being prime-time weekends like the last couple have been. No complaints just offering feedback. Thanks again to the CSR team for the time they put in for our community.

Thanks GMs and Guides! Any GM events are good things, but especially creative ones with some serious thought and/or time put into them! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Perhaps Classic and Kunark Fabled mobs could be used. They drop the same loot, just slightly upgraded. Like kunark mobs drop loot upgraded to be on par with velious loot, classic to kunark, etc

I love this idea. I'll ask if that's a possibility.

Personally, as someone who tries to get outside more [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] , it would be nice to know a rough time when events happen/supposed to happen. Trying not to stay up till midnight in case of a quake and spend all day on the computer waiting for something to happen. But was a fun event, thanks!

Can we not tailor make events to give riot as much loot as possible? It's such a disproportionate handout. So many ways to work around that. Lockout timers, bag limit events, qualifying mob or events to earn other mobs, etc. Many previous events did not just award the largest zerg the most pixels possible.
