Okay here is just an idea that came to me about a Halloween Boss...

Boss----
a Wicked Witch
a Jack-O-Lantern
etc...you get the idea

Area----
make a area called Haunted House...
maybe have like 3 floor's and each floor ya half to kill something to move on to next floor...

Drop----
you could get something like a Halloween Staff..

Base damage: 26, Can be used by: fighters, paladins, berserkers, Description: Happy Halloween!! Level needed to equip it: 20, Magical: Yes, Vamparic: No, Armor: 0, Strength modifier: 0, Intelligence modifier: 0, Dexterity modifier: 0, Constitution modifier: 0, Wisdom modifier: 0, Charisma modifier: 0, Poison chance: 0, Poison/30s damage: 0, Monster damage table: , Mana leech: .

or Amulet of Halloween

Armor base: 2, Can be worn by: clerics, druids, mages, paladins, pacifists, Description: Happy Halloween!! Level needed to equip it: 30, Strength modifier: 0, Intelligence modifier: 0, Dexterity modifier: 1, Constitution modifier: 0, Wisdom modifier: 1, Charisma modifier: 0.

Well this is all i have for now. Hope you guy's like my idea who knows this could be used for later use on maybe next year's Halloween or maybe even this year..

Thanx --Air--

[Squee]

Seems like an awful amount of work just for one day. I mean, 3 entirely different floors?

[Outbreak]

sounds good to me

[alone]

Open the area on the Friday, close it midday on the Monday - Nice few days for people to explore - Have no final boss, but there could be a form of 'elite' monster in the house, that has say a 0.1% drop rate for the item.. If no one gets it, hard luck. if someone does, yay for them.

[Air]

It doesnt half to be for a day it could be like a 2 day thing day before halloween it will be open..and whole day of halloween it will be open and boss spawn's every hour!! ...and % of drop could be at like 10% percent chance of drop or wut ever would be good...

[Satterlee]

MAKE IT ONE ALT!! We need one alt quests.

[Bun]

nice staff better than CB

[Air]

Floor #1

Boss to get on to next floor!!..Dracula/and have like haunted bats that attack ya the whole time your running thro the first floor or something in the affect of that...you also have a 25% chance to get key to go on to next floor boss spawn every 30 minutes or an hourly thing id prefer 30 minutes..

Floor #2

Boss to get onto next floor!!..Wicked Witch/Evil Cat's attacking ya on that floor while running thro the floor area..You also have same percent chance of getting key off the Wicked Witch as ya do off Dracula..

Floor #3

Boss to get onto next floor!!..Jack-O-Lantern/Pumpkin Head's that attack ya while roaming the floor..This boss will give ya the main drop and has a 10% chance of getting it...

Maybe...

Secret floor...
could have a boss down here that drop's something dunno wut it could drop yet...ill think of something to add in later...

Thanx ---Air---

[Ryuku]

Well, how powerful the drops are, 1 a year doesn't seem too bad..

[Stigmata]

Believe it or not creating a 3 floor area wouldn't be much work at all, if each floor contained say 15 squares?

from my experience once you have the main descriptions done, and a basic outline of the area it's only a matter of copying a pasting (using macros for each desc/monster etc) the descs onto each square.

As an example, me and al made chronos in about 4 days from scratch - that included thinking the idea up, designing the maps and monsters etc.

[Shera]

I think this would be a lot of fun. I totally support the idea. Halloween is my fav holiday though so I doubt I'd be on nm for it much at all so ya more then one day of it! Like the Evil Santa place!

[dillinger]

cool idea...and of course ill be one of the people who will probaly whine over not getting one of the drops lol...but itll be fun

[shadow_skulk]

i like the idea but i do agree with

Satterlee: MAKE IT ONE ALT!! We need one alt quests.

if it was only 1 alt not as many ppl would be getting the drop cuz them weapon/items seem awful strong for a boss to drop, that could drop more than 1 then there would be a over power kinda thing going on........but other than that i like it just think it should only be 1-2 alt thing!

[alone]

You all have this illusion of it being able to be a limited character area - But there is no grid command to achieve that!!

The only way to work it would be to limit the entire game.

[frosty]

lol u guys sould make the last two bosses the hardest one like the frist one drops a the frist one a candy blade and a amulet of halloween its be cool stuff

[frosty]

and double exp too dont for get taht cuase its a haloday

[Shandor]

Sounds interesting.....would be fun.
Good idea.

[combusta]

sounds like a good idea but i think they should keep it and only for halloween they can drop that'll be great

[Tanis]

good idea, boss and boss drops need a little more thought though.

[Air]

Okay well i got a better thought to the boss/boss drop idea thing...

The Haunted House...

Floor #1= a maze... you half to find your way thru the maze till the end at the end of the maze is a boss and a spot were you can go up to next floor...Monster to kill to go up is Dracula..Monster drops a Halloween Key 1...% of drop is 25%...(still trying to figure out wut should be used to attack ya as you going thru the maze...)

Floor #2= a maze... find your way thru the maze till you find the next monster to kill to go on to next floor except this time this monster is harder to kill then the first 1...Monster is a Evil Witch... once you kill you will get a Halloween Key 2...this will allow you to go up to next level...percent of drop on key is still 25%...

Floor #3= a maze... yet another maze except this maze is the hardest of the 1st 2 as you go along in the maze you will half to kill small monsters to get past...when you hit the end of the maze you will see a Boss this Boss is called a Jack O' Lantern
if you thought the first 2 Monsters were hard wait till you try this one...when ya kill it it will drop a Halloween Blade...drop % is 15%..so you will get lucky if ya get drop..though you dont know it there is a extra floor the Jack-O-lantern was blocking the way...Get a Attic Key

The Attic= a short maze... as you go thru this short maze at the end you will find there is another Boss... this Boss is harder than the other 3..when you kill the Boss you will get a drop that drop will be a Amulet of Halloween...% of drop is 15%...this Boss's name will be(still thinking of a name will get back to it)..

Thanx ---Air---

[Vodka]

Okay, you go to the place... anddd...

You enter the Corn Field/Maze. This is where you can have good ol' fun.. 'riding' Hayrides.. etc. You find the boss... and that boss will be called... The Scarecrow! Killing ... The Scarecrow.. it drops.. The Haunted Key!

(The) Haunted Key.. allows you to work your way into.. (The) Haunted House of Horror! From here on out, you stick to Air's idea.. BUT!...

Once you've made it to the top floor... the last boss you kill is. . . a Trick or Treater! This will drop the. . . Amulet of Halloween!

Mwahaha!

[Gaddy]

Air likes boys!

I like the idea of having good items dropped as quest items again. I mean frikin look at the old items like Ruby Rings, Inquis. Ring, Bracelets of Speed, and other old ones. I think it'd be nice to see items like those put out every so often. Last superior item that was droppd were the Boots of Haste, and before that I can't even name one from the time I started playing on.
Muchless, all of the items I named above are owned by 2 accounts...Seems like we'd be rather well off to allow some more into game, maybe not with things such as magic boxes also ya know?

-shrug- I probably won't even log on Halloween so please don't think I'm just trying to get a nice item or whatever. I really do think we need to start evening out the old quest items with new items that compare well to them. Though it could also be argued that with the new styles of play those old items would be overpowering for someone to get many of, and the people who have them now don't tend to use them too often.

[Momba]

Brilliant idea.

With a few changes to the area used at Christmas we could have a slammen good time. Include Demonskys idea for a shop and we could have ourselves a Halloween Village.

I would strongly suggest making it paci friendly tho. We have alot of players who choose to play just pacis.
