DPS rotation COMPETITION

    You know the l2 olympiads? we need something like it.


    HOW ABOUT DPS rotation COMPETITION, the winner of which will get a title that lasts for 2 weeks, the title can grant stats like in the l2 oly.


    What do you think? discuss! :)

    We already have the online ranking for PVE, and we used to have bunch of pve and pvp rankings back on retail (be it via events or in-game system) but they mostly lead to toxic atmosphere and ppl cheating/abusing rules

    which is why i didnt suggest a PVE RANKING. nor did i suggest a pvp pve tests. it was literally a dps against dummy competition.


    WE NEED EVENTS (That arent just hey we gave you stuff). this can be one of them

    Well, could you elaborate further on how exactly that would work? Not everyone there played l2 you know.


    Would you have no gear, or would that be more like a gear ranking?


    What about stigmas, some of them are very essential for dps rotation, would you have to use what you have (hence be on disadvantage if you miss any) or would you have no stigmas (then that literally force players to change their rotation) or would you get temporary stigmas (which would be kinah sink af due to shards and reequip price)?


    What about other consumables, would i be allowed to use them, or once again i can just buy the most expensive food, shards, etc from broker to boost myself?


    Will it be in a solo instance or in open world?

    If solo instance then how to handle ppl cheating like they did in the past?

    If in OW what about team members buffs or other ppl debuffing the dummies for me?


    Like how exactly do you measure the dps so it's different/better from pve ranking (which is also based on dps, provides entire rotation for you to learn from, allows you to check what buffs/team comp the team had and even verify if anyone in the team used noani?

    Well, in lineage 2 the olympiad pvp infrastructure was a complex mechanism;

    it was an arena where people can register to with instance rooms, the registration was divided, players can go for "same class" or "mixed choice" and the winner would get some of the losers score rating for that week.

    at the end of the period, the lead player of each class would be granted the title of hero, a perma glow while the olympiad period is on cooldown access to hero weapon, specialized buffs in form of skills and an offensive skill.


    additionally players could trade some of their olympiad passes (which you get whenever you win a match) for some rewards that can only be achieved that way.


    overall the system was not abused much in retail but very abused in private servers because players would trade wins so it had good days and bad days, but like anything ncsoft did back then, it was VERY FUN TO PARTICIPATE IN. i look at any olympiad match i joined in good light, the matchups were always based on who signed up so you might get someone better or worse, so its very similar to existing systems.


    when i proposed this training dummy dps i had only a few aspects of this mechanism that i thought to suggest, mainly because i dont know what gameforge can actually achieve.


    let me elaborate then.

    the way i thought of this idea is that there would be a competition (i have no clue how game forge can achieve that, because again, they may be able to instance it, or just a gm standing with a dps meter and a stopwatch, thats really all up to what they can actually do, optimistically they can also have actual developers from ncsoft with a dummy that records incoming dmg and then reports it, and then everyone can read it, maybe it can even keep score of the top of each class).

    at the end the dummy would crown the victors as "CHAMPIONS" and they get a special title with whatever ncsoft allows gameforge to grant as a reward, the title will only last for the duration of the competition, and it could be a biweekly reset to give players a chance to catch up and work on it.


    ofcourse, i publish it here, and forfiet any rights to this idea, and anyone (NCSOFT, GAMEFORGE, i'm looking at you guys) is free to OWN this idea and make something fun from it.
