[UI] P.E.T Anniversary event

There hasn't been anything new for P.E.T since it came out, and many have waited something special to come out concerning about P.E.T For example DESIGNS.
Date of event would be during two weeks after P.E.T release date
(What's the date it was introduced first though.)

I have come up several basic designs and two ability desingns for P.E.T so far and i am waiting like crazy them to be out some day ( If ever ) Here is link to show what i mean if you are not familiar with these yet. : http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/future-p-e-t-designs.49166/

To the point. I came up a way and time to introduce some of these with fun way (Might be also profitable for Bp.)

This will not be complete idea, i just wanted to bring up what i had in mind, and hopefully this will evolve to something cool.




Lets start with items you could obtain during event.

I haven't really come up with main enemy of event, but i have one enornous alien, (Icositetrahedrokon) that i have been desingning (Might be too powerful as it is now )

To give some picture about it's size: It has 24 sides and one side is equal to cubicons one side.
This is it's shape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoidal_icositetrahedron
And about it's power: It's like Mega cubikon with a few twists.
I will propably introduce it when i have more time, this isn't my job after all

Personally i think Boss alien should be group portal kind of boss, since i think PVP kills fun of it, and it will be very very hard to kill anyways.

Don't get mad... because same time i think there should be some kind of PVP side too, since it is part of game, and you shouldnt be able to obtain all rewards without any PVP.




There should be atleast two kind of portals

Group portal, where you could obtain one ofitems earlier mentioned, when completed.
I was thinking P.E.T design.

Solo portal where you could obtain Special laser or shield for pet if you are top ??? (Resets every 6 hours when rewards are shared)
I was thinking that nature of port could be survive without taking any hit as long as possible. Aliens will be appearing more, and more as time passes. Area would be limited, so you can't just run.
There could be also different kind of challenges concerning about this portal

There could be also something that has something do with pirates, since pet was introduced kind of like solution to win pirates. Maybe new Pirate invasion, and new kind of pirate ship class or individual pirate.



And Ice metroid ofcourse, not to mention other kind of activities that already exists

Thats all i have came up so far. Waiting for your feedback, and hopefully this will evolve ​

 

No please god no to penetration that design will have 25% penetration with moth with a bonus 10% Hp still lol. Yes to rest

 

I was first like "what? Plain no" when i started to read, since i went through lot effort for this text,
but got soon relieved after i readed your reply to the end "Oh it was just the Goliatg design."

Would you change it in some way or just throw it to thrash bin? ​

 

Using separate ammo for the PET and ship is going to be difficult for DO to coordinate. As stated with the NEW 3D formations for drones the special ammo is a NO for me. Having designs and special guns/shield generators for PET is a YES. And for the SPECIAL EVENT I say NO as these only benefit the UFE players and they already have too much of an advantage over the FE/NEWB players. Make rewards HANDICAPPED so a NEWB has as much of a chance as a UFE and I would say yes, but then this would be hard to accomplish so it would still be NO.

 

It's not hard to implement. You shoot same ammo, but only pet can benefit the ammo specials, and cast perks. You would know this if you read my text carefully.

That's nice to hear.

It sounds, that you didn't read my idea completely, because im not saying "Make it event in old fashioned style"
It's true that newbies and FE players are struggling hard, and i too think, that most events as they are currently are too much to handle most of them, but only because they are mixed PVP, and PVE in same place. And that was one thing i was trying to avoid here, but same time try to make it also fair to UFEs, since it needs to be fun for them too.

If you have something to make it sound better feel free to suggest.

 

Solo portal where you could obtain Special laser or shield for pet if you are top ??? (Resets every 6 hours when rewards are shared)
I was thinking that nature of port could be survive without taking any hit as long as possible. Aliens will be appearing more, and more as time passes. Area would be limited, so you can't just run.
There could be also different kind of challenges concerning about this portal

Sounds like any NORMAL event, a UFE goes in every 6 hours and wins the rewards, they have more speed and can avoid longer than some slow NEWBIE and the NEWBIE looses again.

And the special use ammo is going to be so much more that the players are not going to want to buy it and shoot it from ship if PET is only beneficial shooter, so again using x3 on ship and x3 PET would be the proper way of doing the ammo but then like I said would be too difficult for D O to implement.

 

Fat lasers !!!

 

I would say add absorption for pet, like 10% such as pincer, but not penetration please. Lol

 

That would be cool, if fat lasers could be obtained too in some way ​

You mean shield strenght? That's what special shield for pet does. ​

​

And +5% shieldpenetration isn't so much since only pet recieves that bonus making its power 1/4 of moths power, and with special lasers 1/2 of moths power.​

Then buy motors ... they re cheap.

And anyways your text starts to sound like, that you want to have everything from the start. If your ship doesnt have even basic FE equipment's i guess your pet doesn't either have. You can start from getting basics done before starting to cry, that you lose. Ofcourse you lose if you are newbie.

But anyways i am trying to get this newbie friendly as i can, and you can try to help me by suggesting things.​

It's not gonna be unwanted if pricing is right.

And as i know, it shouldn't be that hard to implement. i'm sure Bigpoint could do it, and if they cant, let them say it. I believe you aren't expert of these things?​

 

Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

Enjoy the game.
