„Quest“-idea Arkims Brother

Post by ZdlN »

„Quest“-idea Arkims Brother:
Nobody knows this, but Arkim has a brother. Bothe lived long time together in the house of their parents. The crazy Arkim bugs his brother the whole time until the one day he decided to go into the caves and make experiments with bats (as we know him ;) )
His brother stay in the house and was overwhelmed by the lovely silence he now had. But then annoying players comes to his home and disrupt the newly freedom with their questions.
So Arkims brother decided to give money to the players not disturb him a day anymore to get his silence back. But if a Player breaks the rule and comes back anyway on this day he gets banned one week.

So – this was the story for my minds to have a new daily quest:
Every player knows the problem that he sometimes has no time for game cause of real life. So he has no time to hunt many bats that day, scorpions or something – the daily points are “lost”
Arkims brother gives the player money without doing anything – it don’t should be much, that you make a realy loss if you do this (maybe such as 1k gp or 2k gp for a lvl 50 player or less than this) – but you can go to him if you don’t can do the other quests … to have more money if you have time to play then.

Only one stupid idea – idk what you all mean to – and I hope you understand what I mean ;)

Wow, 100% agreement, ... rarely. :lol:

But why no other opinions? :cry:

Mh, I'm skeptical about the idea of giving a reward for nothing, but if it's balanced properly to be a losing deal compared to doing the regular daily quests, it might be acceptable.
And about giving a one week ban for returning... that would have to be very clear in the dialogue.

I agree - it's better not this quest when a not balanced.

But i think it is a lucky thing this story and if there is a rough calculation what you can make on money with the stingerquest (or Arkim) a day and give maybe "this money"/5 to a player with the same level or only "this money"/7 - only more when nothing...
