Calyth mini-game

[Haenir]

The mini-game from Windstone queen is pretty neat.

What would be even neater would be to move it to The Arena? and instead of competing for loot set it up as a thing players could bet on (with competitors winning some percentage of bets) or put up items to be won.

Add in a plat fee to compete and you've also got a potentially fun dynamic plat sink.

You talking about the pokemon event? I totally agree. I thought the GM run PoWar event where ppl bet on game bosses fighting each other was the coolest thing this game ever had, so something like what you suggested would be totally bombtastic. Maybe implement this, and then down the road (once 2.5 settles and we can refocus back on content instead of stability fixes) add in shrouds? So like you can level mobs and use them in the Arena a la pokemon battles? My ju'bor destroyer versus your baldakan necro type stuff!

awesome idea haenir!

I think Slaar (who made the mini-game) shot this idea (or similar to it) down back when Windstone was released. I recall Woldoff talking about moving the event or copying it somewhere else so it was more accessible, but Slaar had declined to do so. Below is what I found, I'm pretty sure Woldoff/booster are refering the Calyth Event.

i just wanna say that the end boss "event" thing is pretty fricken cool and should be a standalone thing with player betting.

I yelled to the heavens for this to be the case but Slaariel just laughed at me.

Slaar is such a party pooper. He still owes my bstlord 20 defense.
