Choking Palace Challenge:

Postby Cyric » Sat Nov 05, 2005 11:17 pm

Seems the deep mobs of the Choking Palace are lonely! So we have devised a bit of a challenge:

There will be 2 opportunities for groups of 20 to legally go in and try the zone...one for the good raced folks, and one for the evils. Since group-size limits are hard-coded, you'll have to form two coordinated groups each time, but you can figure that out amongst yourselves.

So, who will do better? The goods or the evils? Who will be able to gather a group first? If it's the goods, will the evils learn from their mistakes and get an advantage? Hrmmmm...inquiring minds want to know!

See me or Eilistraee for further details, but that's about all that there is to it...bragging rights and an opportunity to litter a zone with 40 corpses.

Good luck!

Sigh. 52 weeks out of the year...

We'll try to schedule around it if we know when the two groups are going to make their attempts. We were trying to plan arena events for Saturday night, but will reschedule those, as we won't want to conflict with Sarell's attempt, since the ChP event is a great opportunity for players.

20 evils on at once? Tiamat must've come back in when I wasn't looking!

I'm just not understanding the logic behind allowing a one-time supergroup to try and rampage the zone. Why not just fix it so its doable?

20 evils on at the same time is becoming an increasingly regular event and isn't related to Tiamat at all. On the other hand, most of those evils are probably not doing choking palace yet.

*bump*

We're still waiting! If a group of 20 evils and a group of 20 goods both do the zone (successfully or unsuccessfully), as a reward to the MUD I'll give classes and redo XP on all of the grid zone mobs (see another thread).

Ha!

Would 20 evils = 10 evils and 10 humans count?

Also, what do you mean "you'll give classes"?
It will be fixed in Toril 2.0.

grib mobs are classless mobs which I have learned means that they reward less exp when killed.

aside.. do certain classes yield more exp than other classes?

oh "i'll give classes to the grid mobs and redo their XP". Yea, classed mobs are given an exp modifier or some crap. You can also change the exp value given to a mob too, which is why DS and Randars gives more exp than some zones.

Part of that may have been our fault Sarell, but we had been working on our challenge for a better part of a month before this ChP thing came up.

Was really pleased with the turnout. :-)

Due to a lack of enthusiasm, the challenge has been rescinded, and the group size limit is back down to 15.
