Title: Coming up with an idea
Post by: dovoxove on Nov 23, 2004, 10:48 AM
Post your thoughts on your ideas for the next upcoming event.

So far i've gotten:
More mobile event <--- not likely

I've talked about the special jewel game in irc. First team to destroy the special jewel will win the game

Map drawing contest

Mobile drawing contest

-That is all i got so far-

Also Softnyx is planning on renovating the freeboard to a forum *i suggested that* and they tell me to lay out the specific ideas on how this is going to work. And honestly i don't really know :O

There must be and ups and downs for using forum instead of freeboard. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

suggestion for the jewel game (I missed the conversation) a jewel game with one jewel that's worth all 100 points (10000 hidden hp or so without regeneration every turn). ..maybe? :)

the free board is nuts, I agree. there should be a forum like this, moderated by english speaking persons and split up into subjects. or maybe a hidden forum within the public forum, where the people who seem to post relevent posts get access :) it's almost impossible to keep up a forum for so many people, where a large part of them are spammers. do you get the idea? :)

10k is a bit too high. I mean, unless all 1k+ damage bonuses are turned off, 3 people could get 3k+ easily (Which I guess really would not matter, but... @.@), maybe more about 4k or 5k life, minus the ability to bunge the jewel.

As for event ideas.....er, get back to you on that, need to work out the kinks on the one I have in my mind...

And about the free board, I'm glad there'll be a change (hopefully) for the better.

The last-year Puzzle Collecting event was IMO one of the best events ever. That would be a nice event for the Christmas and the prize could be... hhm... Snowman Avatar :P My sick imagination...

I'm trying to think of an event that would have minimal cheating. The halloween one was good for that but it wasn't that fun trying to get in those rooms hehe. Something involving guilds might be cool, But it wouldn't be fair to exclude teh guildless.

Honestly. Make something similar to the old bear suit puzzle event. I liked that event a lot, since literly every single player had a chance at winning it. So another puzzle piece event would be cool.

I don't want a repeat of it =/

Maybe something simmilar. Like a scavenger hunt, where you have to find things, and you find them buy completing various tasks, like say winning in a 4v4, earning a certain amount of gold etc. but the tasks you need to do will be kept secret from the users until they discover them.

Actually I think Rizz did something like that once =p

Aspect of the free board which doesn't work:

- Too many members, no categorized forums besides regular chat and guild chat, that creates a flood of messages
- Poor regulation, any message with an URL gets eliminated immediately, but we have people calling each other niggers and stupid dicks, and those messages stay
- Character limit on replies, also, topics don't get bumped.
- No ban system specific to the free board
- A sense that if you post on the free board, only a couple of morons will read your thread...

And as I said earlier... Do something about Ice SS, nerf A.Sate, add more maps, and do something about lightning and cake ruling over avatar on. I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I think you're better off fixing/adding fundamental stuff rather than thinking about brand new stuff like an event and a message board... I know it's what softnyx told you to think about, but they don't seem to have their priorities straight. You're the only one who can stand up and say something to them...

Oh yeah and... Official gunbound message board = no more growth for fan sites.
Title: Coming up with an idea
Post by: uberbacon on Nov 23, 2004, 03:48 PM
mm, I agree. Ice SS and more maps, for sure :)
I'm not sure about A.Sate, it's not THAT good, plus most people can't hit correctly with it.
Title: Coming up with an idea
Post by: CommunistBus on Nov 23, 2004, 04:27 PM
I liked ruk's suggestion that the A sate should have a time release SS, so more air time = more damage. That would put a stop to those "Teleport in front of you and dual SS for 500 damage each turn with minimal delay" players.


QuoteI'm not sure about A.Sate, it's not THAT good
shot 2 only has a delay of 880. It should NOT be able to deal as much damage as armor or nak. Sure you can't hit correctly at long range but when you teleport right there its not hard at all. Thats the reason turtle got changed too...

Post by: SLdK on Nov 23, 2004, 04:56 PM
I would an event that doesn't require you to go insane and devote days of playing. The puzzle event which lasted for quite awhile was something I was able to do, despite the fact that I was a noob and didn't even have a good avatar back then. I like that alot, then came along the rabbit and turtle event which was plain ridiciulous.

I would LOVE new items and maps. And with the maps, you can input many many winners so that everybody is happy.

I agree, the mobile-piece event was probly the best I've done (I wasn't on for most events =P)

Something hard, but not impossible would be your best bet. That way, you wouldn't have to play obsessively to win the event, but every noob and their grandma won't have the prize...
The map idea seems nice. Everyone who makes an actual attempt (judges decide wether effort was put in or they googled it..) gets some sort of an event avatar, and the grand prize winner will get their map implimented and some sort of prize in gold.. Or maybe an extra-special event avatar for the winner. I'm thinking...

Everyone who attempts legitly: Snowman avatar (head and body are a snowman xD)
Grand Prize winner: Map implimented, Snowman avatar, with a crown or something on the head. Or maybe a golden carrot nose xD

And an actual forum would be a great idea. FAR less spammable, more organized, and the important topics will get attention. Special forums by rank would be nice (KFC to Axe, Double axe to Double Gold Axe, Double-sided axe... etc...

While that would be good, it would suck for people like me who play many accounts. Meh, I always quit accounts due to the avatar gifting system. My highest is 6900gp, but if you combine my accounts, minus the 1000 starting gp, I would be atleast 12-14,000  :rolleyes:

That aside, an actual forum would be great. The forums could be organized somewhat like this:
[ ] = cat, " --- " = forum, "--->" = subforum

[Front Desk]
--- News
---> Forum Rules
--- Bug Reports
--- Hack/Abuse Reports
[General]
--- General Gunbound Chat
--- Market (When/if an actual trade system is implimented)
--- Off Topic
[Strategy]
--- Avatar Discussion
--- Bot/Mobile Discussion
---> Specific forum for each bot, maybe?
--- Strategy Forum
[Gunbound Art/Tools]
--- Gunbound Art
---> Gunbound Skins
---> Gunbound concept art
--- Gunbound Tools (Stuff like avatar planner... Not hacks/etc)
[Rank]
--- KFC to Metal Axe
--- Double Metal Axe to Double Gold Axe
--- Double-Sided Axe to Double-Sided Gold Axe +
--- Wands and Dragons

A few things to keep in mind for making a forum, especially an international one like GIS is:
- Take out the postcount part of the skin you use on the forum. Trust me, people spam WAY less without postcounts
- Maybe make regional forums, or language specific forums?
- Do not impliment a user-rating system, unless it is high-rank or moderator only. Grr, those get abused too much
- With the amount of bandwith I bet gunbound uses, and the fact that a lot of GB users are dialup, keep the skin efficient on loading time (colors, not images!). That way, it won't discourage people with slow connections or a distant location from posting.
- Do NOT let low-rank people use PM's! It will be abused like none other! Maybe even a minimum rank requirement to make a thread would be useful (anyone could reply)
- Let some non-gms who proove worthy become moderators, too. That way, the community feels open, and with the scale that GB is, the more mods the merrier.

Hope this helped a tad xD

For an event you can have a game similar to jewel mode, but you could include airborn and moving targets too.  Then you can have a small chance of winning something.

For example.  Flying Santa.  If you hit the sleigh, a present drops out.  Grab the present for gold, puzzle piece, event question, riddle, whatever.
Title: Coming up with an idea
Post by: uberbacon on Nov 23, 2004, 07:15 PM
Event ideas:

Pass the ball
The event starts when a GM with the ball attached to himself, enters any 1v1 game. He repeats this on all servers. If he loses the game, the winner gets the ball. It goes on like that, and everyone who gets the ball also gets the avatar. If the winner doesn't play any games within 30 minutes or leaves the server, the ball goes into a random 1v1 game on that server.

Destroy thor
This takes place in random 4v4 games. Thor gets a tough hp bar, and you need to hit him. Everytime you do so, he hits you too. Like you'd get shot by an aduka SS. When you die, you get revived like in score. Winning team (dealt most damage) gets one avatar each .. unless he/she already has one :)

Confusing event
Change server 7 into an event server. Nobody gets to know what to do, but they randomly get assigned avatars as they make 666 damage OR gain 1337 gold OR win 15 times in a row. But we never get to know what it's all about :) (Note: the numbers were example numbers)

suggestion maybe:
i think we should have an event where: you would find rooms with gm's in them (the gm would not be in there gm rank)
by winning you would get an power card, or item at or above 150k (not choosable) btw cash items anthing above 5k cash

I'm thinking of a skill-based puzzle event on a dedicated server:

Setup: Random Map, Random Mobiles, any items, any death, 3v3 or 4v4.

Target:
A floating stationary target board (mobile sized) that
-  teleports randomly to any spot on the map every turn, both airborne and on land.
-  Target has unknown HP that doesn't regenerate.
-  Respawns after being destroyed.
-  Target cannot be bunged.

Objective: Regardless of HP inflicted, only team that produces the killing shot scores the points for the Target. Be the first team to destroy 3000 HP worth of target boards.

Winning team members get a puzzle piece.

Prize: A 'Sharpshooter' Avatar, probrably a (sniper rifle).

Moving free board to forum is good but u need huge amount of webspace. And u get constantly spammed by off-topics, site promotion, trade, and hacks msg. Even 5 mods couldn't handle that much amount of workload.

Thats why you make the skin mostly color-based with simplistic and small graphics. Saves webspace =P
PhpBB2 is probably the best forum type if webspace is an issue. Secure, huge amount of modifications, low filesize, etc. On my old fansite I had, I hardly went through 1-2mb bandwith every 2,000 hits.

from Halo, but might work, Halo's game mode called Odd Ball, pretty much for X amount of turns someone is "it" if the person is not destroyed by that time, you give X punishment or it can just be whoever hits the person that "it" more, and set the game for like 10 mins or however. this is semi-fun because your not restricted to hitting everyone one the other team =D

Okay, this is GUNBOUND we're talking about here. If they didn't have very much webspace, the game wouldn't exist. Think for a minute.  :rolleyes:

On topic: The puzzle event from last year was cool, but maybe something like 1 out of every 20 puzzle peices gives you an avatar (like just the helmet, armor, or flag), on top of getting the set for completing the puzzle. Might be interesting.
Title: Coming up with an idea
Post by: Cakensodomy on Nov 24, 2004, 12:53 PM
I'm thinking bandwith and loading time efficiency. Gunbound.net loads somewhat slow because of its location and the amount of people viewing it. Adding a full-image vBull or invision board (the only two other real choices when it comes to security and modifications) would be hell on 56k users, and very slow for dsl/cable or higher users =P

I bet they could handle the space, but load times would be an issue because it is international. My last phpbb2-based forum was under 1.2mb total, including images and database. Most invisions run in the 8-15mb range, and vBull runs way high (I don't have exact numbers, been a while since I used it. I think its like 20mb). All three look great (vBull's and invisions tend to look better, because more people make actual non-recolor/image skins for them, but with minimal html knowledge and php knowledge, you can make your own skin and make them the same.) As for features, vBull is #1, but invision and phpbb2 have loads of mods/hacks made for them to have the same features with less space needed. phpBB2 is also free (no issue to GIS, I would believe) but it supports open-source, and open source kicks arse. Most people see phpBB2 as newbish, but that's because the phpbb2's they go to are unmodified... The only real diff is stock features, filesize, and security. vBull is the most secure, I would say, but there are third-party security patches that make invision and phpbb2 equal or greater =P

There are other good boards I didn't mention, but that is because they are insecure, uncommon (little to no pre-made mods =X) or inefficient. Or I forgot =P GIS can choose whatever they like, but I support phpBB2 for gunbound, due to the fact that loading time is critical. You can get a phpbb2 under 1mb if you use a few banners, and ofcourse icons and buttons like the reply buttons here, but you make all gradients 1pixel wide and have them tile and you use flat colors with html code for the normal stuff and can get tiny load times. Problem with phpbb2 is that some pre-made scripts have a hard time with compatability with others, but it's all fixable =P As for databases, I know vBull and phpBB2 support quite a few kinds of databases, but I'm not sure on invision, never looked into it since i had mySQL on the server I tried it on. Then again, thats not the issue here =P

Anyways, to the other part of the topic:
I like 404error's idea on the puzzle event. This time, make it on the maps or something, so people don't always choose the maps they like, and spread out a little. Also, if you do a mobile event, make it only work on 3v3 and 4v4 or something, so people don't play hours of 1v1 to get pieces. or maybe, a few different pieces for each game type :P

Post by: Cyberquad on Nov 26, 2004, 02:25 PM
Ooh, I've got one that isn't just an addition suggestion.

God Battle Mode (Based on Pockethouse Comics):
Both teams battle a giant version of a mobile. The Giant Mobile has 2 times the attack power, and has way less delay than a normal mobile. They also have 2 times the HP. Both teams shoot at the Giant Mobile. The team that kills it gets a card of the mobile killed. The Giant Mobile is randomly selected. Any human player that is killed cannot come back, but can drop stuff on the Giant Mobile or opposing team. The game doesn't end until the God Mobile or both teams are dead. Shots from the same type of mobile do extra damage. (IE, a Nak would do more damage to the Nak God than to the Turtle God)

Ok, fist off, since christmas is coming up, why not swap out Dragon and Knight for some ......holiday vehicles. Like for Knight, you could put in Rudolph (that damned red nose menace), but instead of swords, you could do some sort of horns or something. Dragon, on the other hand, you could do Santa's hovering sleigh, firing off gifts that, when they hit, explode (Ok, maybe someone could thing of something more.....santa like...). The rarity of these vehicles on Random would be about twice those of Dragon/Knight, BUT, if they do get them, they would get a random ticket with a 5-digit number (somehow, like on their account or something). And you may have to let this event go for about a month so people can rack up the tickets, but, at the end of the event, you hold some sort of raffle/drawing for rare/event avatars, either new or old, and/or gold. I dunno, just a suggestion for a holiday event, it could work...

Y'see, thats why my idea is (at least imho) pretty good, because it would not involve any gm hunting (Hell, no GMs needed at all for this, 'cept to regulate the prizes being given out..), basically no Hacking possibilities (that I can think of), and would go with the holiday theme. ^^

AND it would encourage people to play random more instead of abusing certain bots.

The only thing I can think of is that it might be pretty hard to create two new bots, escpecialy if its just for a week long or so event.\

QuoteYou have a 99% chance of getting a Red Nose, 1% chance of getting a random item 100k+.

Actually, what if it was like:
50% chance of red nose
25% chance of any avatar under 50k
15% chance of any avatar 50-100k
3% chance of any avatar 100-200k
1% chance of any avatar 200k-whatever the most expensive is
0% chance of cash only avatars

That would also stop people from cheating sort of. If they tried to make new accounts to get more avatars, they will probably jsut get red noses XD


Or maybe it could be merged into some sort of find santa event. Like every time you play a game theres a chance to find santa, and if you win you get a present from santas bag of gifts (only one per person).

for  easter you will hide eggs all over the map in hard places so in miramo town in the ground and maybe some telefall places they will be 40 000 eggs so alot of people will get them or at least 75% of the cummunity so noone complains if you get an egg you have 1 week to get 200gp and if you get 200gp by the end of the week you will get a choice to keep you're egg as a egg or hatch it into a surprise which will be a cute little bunny! you can only get the eggs in 1vs1 matches if you see an egg in ur game the two people will attack the egg till it finally reaches 1k of damage then the egg will dissapear and when you leave game you will get a bouncing present thign then you go to avatra shop and says gift sent by GM avatr egg and a msg saying you now have one week to get 200 gp if you do at end of week or when ever you next sign on after the week it will say keep the egg the same or hatch it then you click the button you want to do then ur done and very happy !
P.S keep it in mind i think it is kinda cool

maybe it should be like 500, that way it's not too easy, but players who can only play for a little bit in a week can still do it.

For a GP event, anything less than 400 a day would be way too easy...

Drk = spam whore.

Anyway, as long as it isn't: Finding some non-existant GM, Gaining obscene amounts of GP in a set time period, or anything which requires any amount of faith in the GunBound Community. Im willing to try it.

I gave up in the first hour of trying to get into one. I was checking to see who was in the room and several members of the same guild were the only ones getting in the room. It led me to think that all of them were using a spam bot to get in.

I Think that a new Non-Corrruptable contest should start, Such as a second avatar drawing contest or a full-scale tournament(Nah, scratch that, too much hassle).

I wonder if dovo is disgusted at all with how corrupted the cartoon contest has gotten.

From the beginning my friend. From the beginning.
The cartoon contest was a bad mistake.

Ohh you know what would be cool? If you took the christmas present event idea I had, but instead of getting chirstmas presents by winning, you would get the in the slots in solo/tag game, and drop them on your teammate. If course it would be easily abused by people and their friends, but hey so was the puzzle piece event and no one cared about that. One gift per account of course.
Title: Coming up with an idea
Post by: pointblanket on Dec 06, 2004, 11:33 PM
NOOOESS you destroyed my gift!!! D: D:

Something implemented in the slots would be nifty though.  It could even be part of a 'scavenger hunt' kind of thing, where you have to collect something that's randomly dropped from a slot.
A map-creating contest would be good, but...you're gonna get alot of crap entries like before.  But hey, it only takes a few good ones to make cool new maps.  (Just...no user-voting... >_>)
And I definitely agree with the fixing/tweaking of some things in the game that needs fixing.  (like bugged boomer shots and other previously mentioned things.)

Dovo, how about something like this:

4v4 Game, but once the game starts, randomly it can be an event room-- like the collect the mobiles event. In that game, every man is for himself. (8 people, 8 seperate teams.) When you win--when you are the last man standing, you get a prize. It could be made more difficult to obtain by making it so you need a certain number of wins, or by giving the winner a token representing the mobile they won with-- collect the main 14 mobiles and win a prize. (Im suggesting that because so many people liked the collect the mobiles event--self included.)

Just a thought.

or maybe i was thinking and talking with my friends... random rooms get transformed into a tag-score game ^^ it would make for some long and very interesting agmes, cuz u can tag, but thwen u die u can just redrop with ur mobile and a "half" .... just throwing it out there. :^_^:
