Great idea! I sign too!

Sign me up! Great idea!

The fact that once you get to the compound everyone heals each other anyway. It would make no difference if you got directly there by Null or spent an hour fighting to get there.

As usual you'd have to fight to get there the first time to activate the crystal so people still have to "earn it".

Great idea.

Holy hell, yes please. Sign me up. xD

That sounds awesome, not only for the endboss speedup but for the plotline adds that it could make, and a kick a** mermaid group

Iz wanna sign

lordy. sign me up for this idea. I HATE having to slog all the way back through SS if I get robo-pwned or disconnected.

it is amusing that they've pretty much nerfed everything else in ZOMG except for the endboss and final dungeon. it's like a bicycle ride through the park and then you get chased through a junkyard at top speed by a bunch of slavering hyenas. who happen to be on fire.

I believe I saw someone post (the creator of this thread has it in a quote somewhere on the first page) about endboss being too close would mean no one would need defibrilate.

Why not, since its the endboss and all, make it so crew members may only go in once, and thus are locked in until the fight is over and a winning side is determined.

Either locking them in (unable to awaken unless everyone dies and is kicked out) or locking them out. (if one does awaken after going into the EB's screen, they cannot reenter)

I mean, you'd think an endboss to a game (or a chapter even) could have some sort of power to do this. And he's already proven that he can lock people out with some fancy switch combinations and kick people out when they all die (or so I've heard...), why can't he lock people in as well?

sign! I think it'd be nice to have the Shallow Seas back where they used to be --- do solo for SS and need a crew for EB.

This is where I am at now in the game, and I've enjoyed it up to now. Now it's like you need a crew for every boss run, like it or not. (One exception: Gauntlet, with the Fleet Foot ring.) *I'm with you until this passes or Qixter tells us to give it up. But given the way Gaia runs, if we get enough folks, they'll go with it.

Also, I have an idea about the map: make it shaped like a shell -- either like a scallop (with the NC at the flat end) or like a Nautilus (NC in middle). If you need me to draw what I mean, yowl in PMs and I'll show you what I have in mind.


*Sometimes my brain gets ahead of me. Sorry 'bout that!

Ideas (besides the one I posted earlier - about the Map.)

* After you rescue Marshall, make him a DC character. Folks will still have to fight off a few smaller, easy monsters to get to the Village, but if Gaians are that powerful, it shouldn't be a problem. (This is similar to Rubella, Marcy, & Jerry.)

* Make the "Robofish Invasion" a "game event" happenstance - that way, no one knows when it's going to happen as those things are completely randomized. (Perhaps, like the "Lawnshark" invasions in Village Greens - only three of them to take down as they go after Gaians.) A prize would be like an underwater scooter (similar to what divers use in RL) for your avatar to zip around in while in the water. (This way, they can use it in the waters off of Gold Beach as well.) If anyone can think of anything else as a prize - go for it, but make sure it's diving related.

* A Musical minigame to play either solo or in a team format for "rare" SS items. This would be complete with musical notation so that those who are deaf and/or have their computer sound off can play the game. I was thinking of something similar to the Fountain game or the Tombstones in Dead Man's Pass, yet end up being a whole "sea song" you'd have to play to get the prize. Those in teams would get the most rare items as each member in a team would have to learn a line of the song at a time, then have the song played in sequence, with each member doing only their line at the right time. Players would have to use the keyboard to enter notes. wink Maybe use your new NPC for this?

For now, that's all I can think of.

ill have to sign as well cause i see the value in this, cause the fact that ive been in many crews for that an half the time people leave cause they dont have enough time or lag an that causes problems more so if it happens right as things for eb have been cleared out

though might i make a suggestion, instead of havein people down in this village, its a clan of mermaids/mermen that way if any quests are added in then it can be to help out that village rather its clearnin away a area they use, rescue someone or anything else that way the quests would make more sense

plus if to add a new null to the area it could be something simple as a different colored null crystal in the null chamber so that its apparent that its for the area, this way rather ss an sealedge are kept instanced or not the creatures in it could be made stronger or with a nice mini boss as well

i like Ketira's ideas to could make things more fun, cause then more badges could be added as ewll -mew

[snape victorious]

i still have mixed feelings about this, but with the new ss i'd say yes.
sign please.
