Future change ideas: Items of Rank (in General)


Revs October 19 2006 10:17 PM EDT

**If these have been suggested before, sorry. I'm not often on forums, so don't freak out if these are repeats, I have no idea.**

For next changes, I think it would be pretty cool to add some small items, think of them as incentives, that would enhance game play and community consistency. Or maybe not, but I thought I would share so do with them what you will.

Items. (Note: mainly token items, like a trophy, but permanently named and automatically transferred to the player at the top of each category. More for the fun than for some special bonus. Although, that would be interesting too. 1% increase in cash reward or something, no stacking.)

1. Wings of Faith - Player with the most battles fought.
2. Gavel of Justice - Player with highest strength.
3. Victors Crown - Player with highest score.
4. Aura of Command - Player with highest Minions PR
5. Platinum Circlet - Player with highest NW
6. Midas Touch - Richest player.
7. Diamond Hilt - Player with most powerful blow.
8. Ethereal Chariot - Player with highest dexterity.
9. Vial of Life - Player with highest HP.

(Hmm, mind as well keep going at this point. I've nothing better to do and we need to be fair with the mage teams.) =]

10. Horn of Calling - Player with highest phantom link.
11. Hanso's Ki - Player with highest unarmed combat.
12. Golden Fletching - Player with highest archery
13. Goblet of Power - Player with highest bloodlust
14. Silver Hourglass - Player with highest evasion
15. Scythe of Death - Player with highest decay
16. Phoenix Ring - Player with highest fireball
17. Energy Ring - Player with highest magic missile
18. Glacier Ring - Player with highest cone of cold
19. Crystal Mirror - Player with highest antimagic field
20. Wand of Dampening- Player with highest dispel magic
21. Wand of weakness - Player with highest ethereal chains
22. Deliverance Barrier - Player with highest protection
23. Shell of Life - Player with highest ablative shield
24. Vesper's Speed - Player with highest haste
25. Angelic Host - Player with highest guardian angel
26. Herculean Belt - Player with highest giant strength
27. Cape of the Lich - Player with highest vampiric aura
28. Golden Anvil - Player with highest forging NW.

The cool thing is that these would all be different players. Changes the mentality and spreads the fame a little, instead of "Who's the top guy to beat?" And they could be items given per realm. Just a thought.

And yes I know, people could copy the names, which is why they would need their own minion slot.

I'm sure you can improve the idea. Have fun with it, share thoughts, kill it, whatever. =]

ha, sounds cool...I could go for that :p

I do like that idea, and I suggested something similar to it before. I would think that this could work well if there are only 10-15 of these items, and each is realm based. The person with the highest stat on monday after the cache flush would get to keep the item for the entire week, or for an entire day, and then it would go to somebody else, if they deserved it. And a different bonus based on the skill/spell would be cool.

Wouldnt they just be going to the same people all the time though? and just be changing occasionally

Most battles fought - would/could change quite often mostly between the same few
highest strength doesnt change drasitcally
etc (will not even go into the probs with a reward for most money .. though it could change quite often)
etc
etc

I know im not in gondor realm yet but i've had the highest UC in my realm for absolutly ages and been climbing the next realms ranking for a while (same for gondor) and the same goes for my haste and GS but not climbing so fast in gondor

nice idea but barr a couple of them i don't see many of them changing that drastically

ie who will get a bigger MM that ranger in the next few months

I'm not sure if they would go to the same people consistently or not. For some, yes, I suppose highest score is pretty hard to beat, but that's no different than sitting in the #1 spot now.

As for something like VA though, it might give someone a little more incentive to train the heck out of it just to be number one. Which in turn translates into more fights, more time, more investment in the game, more ownership, etc. I think that's a good thing for people.

Overall it gives more options for where people can set their own goals, or even find a little notariety that they might not have been able to achieve any other way.

Plus forgers and those people going for the highest protection, get a little more love this way. ;)

why not just give the forging clan that spends the most BA in a week at the forge a bit of money off the forge .. betting they would be much happier.
Its a nice idea but i honesty i dont see the top five spots changing v often for each ranking
