[New Event Suggestion] The Troll Invasion!

Mon Jan 23, 2017 1:56 pm

Hello Misters and Misses!

It’s me again, to show how I love this game I need to participate on this Event Suggestion Event (?). I’m not doing this for the prize, 100 Gems won’t matter for me, so If I win with this suggestion I’m going to make a giveaway with the gems prize!

Alert: This will be a long wall of text.

The Troll Invasion!
The Troll Invasion is a new Event suggestion for Valiant Force. As some of my guild mates have expressed, we don’t have much player interaction. The Pillar Event was designed for this, everyone fighting to help people achieve something. But that event had some real problems, the games was too young and many people were not ready for that. To die for your comrade’s?When you can just grab some more points for you ranking in ladder?! Yeah, one part of the system really tried to sabotage the event itself, high level players would need to clear the same trial over and over again in manual (because of the difficulty) or just die to help lower the difficulty of that specifically trial for the good of weaker players.

Fear not, this new event, the Troll Invasion is easy to implement and was made with co-work in mind. So, let’s talk about how it works, shall we?

Back-Story:
As I don’t want to prolong myself writing story things (leave this to devs), to put things simples, Trolls are invading Arathos, fleeing from Elves that are fighting against them in their territories. Without many places to run, trolls are hiding in Arathos and is our duty to chase and eliminate them so they don’t disrupt our peace!

How will the Event Work?
Well, we just have 4 Maps in story mode, each one has 6 locations (one chapter each), totalizing 24 locations, each location has 3 quests each. Ok, Trolls are a terrible species, they like to hide themselves in different places around time, so they will hide in each location randomly each 60 minutes.

Unexpected Encounter’s.
Sometimes (2/10) you will find more than one Troll in the boss area, this is good for more drops and more kills to the event. The additional troll will only appear in Heroic and Legendary. In Heroic the additional Trolls will have the same status as in Normal. In Heroic the additional Trolls will have the same status as in Heroic.

Formation for 1 Troll Encounters

Formation for 3 Troll Encounters

Troll Status (Subject to change)
One Teeth Troll (Spawns in Normal Difficulty)
HP: 25.000
ATK: 6.000
DEF: 1.000
CRIT: 20% Chance
MAG: 0
Bad Status Resist: 0

Two Teeth Troll (Spawns in Heroic Difficulty)
HP: 50.000
ATK: 8.000
DEF: 2.000
CRIT: 25% Chance
MAG: 0

Bad Status Resist: 30% Resist
Four Teeth Troll (Spawns in Legendary Difficulty)
HP: 100.000
ATK: 10.000
DEF: 4.000
CRIT: 30% Chance
MAG: 0
Bad Status Resist: 50% Resist

How to Team Work:
Each new hour of the day the trolls will change their locations. When they are in a certain location you can fight them in all sub-levels, like 24-1, 24-2 or 24-3. The Trolls will replace the boss of the area, so everything will be the same till the boss stage, there will be only one Troll to fight.

Example: It’s 09:00AM Server Time, Trolls are hiding on Spinal Vale Location (Chapter 8). Every time you do a quest in this time and location the usual boss will be replaced by a Troll (or three if you face an Unexpected Encounter!). When the clock passes to 10:00AM Server Time, the Troll will move somewhere else, in this case they will be at Blight Grove (Chapter 19). Players will not know about the right location so they will have to look for them on all maps until they find them.

This will generate more talk about the game, the forums, the in game chat and the guild chat will be fully active with people trying to find the Trolls. Players will probably post details where to find the Trolls, as this is community driven, bringing more player Interaction and life to this game. This event will also bring group Milestone rewards (more about it below), so everyone need to help each other to achieve those milestones rewards.
 
Event Hero:
For this event we will have a new 5* capable Hero to help face the Trolls. he/she is on a mission chasing them. There will be conversations the first time in each difficulty the player finds a Troll. This Hero will gain 150% Boost to his/her status.

Suggestion for Hero (elf race)
Grand Ranger
Active Skill: (up to) 180 % of Hero Attack as Magic Damage, Roots Enemy, Immobilizing affected for 2 Turns – 6 Turns Cool Down
Aura: When Hero Lands a Critical attack, there’s a 40% of chance to refreshes turns of Others in aura

Royal Huntsman
Active Skill: (up to) Cast’s stealth to himself, Raises ATK by 50% of Hero ATK, Roots Enemy, Immobilizing affected for 2 Turns - – 5 Turns Cool Down
Aura: When others in Aura attack there’s a 50% Chance for this hero Attack with 80% of this Hero ATK.

Besides the Event Hero, Aria a 4* Hero already in game (CBT) will help too, she will receive 150% Status boost too and will be possible to get her from 100% Event Completion or from 1-5* Troll Hero Ticket. She will participate in the story of the Event, with text when fighting the Trolls (start and end of encounter)

Viability To Implement Event
This event reuses a lot of assets already in the game, we only need:
4 new arts for every new piece of Champion armor.
4 new arts for every new piece of Guardian armor.
1 new Monster Troll, three variants: 1 Troll with One Teeth, 1 Troll with Two Teeth and another one with Four Teeth’s. They can differ by size too, from small to tall (2D Art+3D Model + Animations + code)
1 new art for Troll Teeth drop item.
1 new hero (2D Art+3D Model + Animations + code)
1 new code (similar to timed daily boosts) to implement the moving locations for the Trolls

PRO’s: We can do the same event again in the future, using new maps and changing Trolls for Ogres.

So, that’s my suggestion, thanks for reading until the end.

Please comment!

I think you need to post this in the contest thread for it to count as a contest entry, along with your in-game name/friend invite playerID.

Thanks for your kind words Mr. Gunfrey!
Ladder is competitive, we shall never have ladder in cooperative events, unless it's guild wars!
Last Pillars of Unity event really was against the own idea of coop by implementing ladder

Oh waw this would be really great event!
Awesome, the devs should add this in their to do list..
XDD

But with the existence of bonus encounter it may be little risky to auto the battle..
Especially in the Legendary Map which is featured with Troll like Balthor stat..
XD

Thanks for your kind words Mr. Munilet, I really appreciate it.
You have a 20% chance for unexpected encounter, if everything was 100% auto doable then where would be the fun?

Ahaaha..
Yes, but you know..
I'm just thinking about the current event, auto doesn't work as we expected..
And some people need time for their life..
But if it's only 20%, then it's okay..
Auto can handle it, and we can take a peek sometime to check if there is Bonus Encounter appear -while doing work..
XDD

That's exactly why I designed this to work like that. A 100% auto event is kinda boring for everyone, so even if you have a failure of 20% by going full auto, 80% success can still be good if your squad can manage to always win when facing a single boss encounter.
One problem I can think of right now would be if the energy cost is too little for the time consumed to clear the quest. I hope not. But still, there are some ways to deal with that.
Thanks again for your feedback

I think 25k Health enemy will take quite some time to take down for newer player.. even more so if it appear in large number (more than 1). Imagine a new player (having only Leon, Theia, and a Valiant, perhaps one more extra hero) encountered something like this while doing story maps to complete guide quest? ;)

But nice idea! Although the milestone seems somewhat a bit too hardcore with 50k kills for the lowest tier XD
