Hey all, this is my first time posting in this guide and I felt like sharing to you a Boss idea for the Christmas event. Meet Gnome Santa  Not long ago I asked JK if there was a possibility of having a new Christmas for zOMG. JK responded by saying that it was unlikely and the event might be recycled. Now I wasn't having that and then a idea popped into my brain. Why not turn a Gnome to look like Santa. I mentioned this to him, but I doubt he took it seriously. This recolor is cheap and easy to do. JK even told me that recolors were easy to do. So do you think we could get ourselves a Christmas event if we lobby for it? Also what do you think of my Gnome idea?

First, is it permissible for me to call him "Sagnta"? sweatdrop
Second, I love the idea - it plays on something every zOMG! player is familiar with (gnomes) as well as something dstinctly Christmas-related.
I will note that the recolour would be even easier (and probably look better) on the original vector form of the gnome - so it wouldn't be an exceptionally difficult change to make (though, admittedly, there are a number of poses and animations to modify). I think the bigger concern would be getting the programming time to make poor Sagnta do something interesting - they could likely steal much of the Airshark code (making him run around dropping "presents" - a red-and-green Giftbox recolour, perhaps), and simply include it as a new mini-event in every area, for the duration of the the Christmas event. Then, make the Holiday Boxes drop normal Event loot, and Sagnta himself drop the big items (like the Event bundle, if they've got one)... 3nodding

That....
Isn't that bad of an idea. (Why would you save it as .jpg and ruin the quality though?)
Making this appear as a mini-event? Did Kutai just invent a way to make the hellish Santa from futurama to have a spot on zOMG!?
I wouldn't make a special drop fall off something that runs around screens, as you won't get them unless you're in the same screen.
You can however, make mini-event rewards, much like every single one barring orb spills used to have.
And I'll take this over a Easter/Orb Spill copy-pasta anyday.

Sagnta needs to be accompanied by 9 Flamingoes wherever he goes. One of them will have a red beak.

RafiCat Thard_Verad Sagnta needs to be accompanied by 9 Flamingoes wherever he goes. One of them will have a red beak. They should be pulling a lawnmower for Sagnta to ride in... AHA! And first you have to destroy the mower, THEN fight off the holiday critters. EDIT: Even better, the mower is a FLYING target, moving around the area when the event happens. If the devs can hammer out the code, the Lawnsleigher should be immune to melee rings (can't reach) and must be shot down by ranged rings. When it crashes, it explodes, damaging players near the wreckage. And just like FIRE BAD!, it can also be said that FLAMING JUNK HEAP BAD!

I love the ideas you posted. The merging the coding would separate Sagnta from ordinary gnome. JK could add a little more festive touch by giving the Giftboxes other colours.
Also making the event a mini event is a brilliant idea. We all know what happened in the Easter and Halloween event. I think making it a mini event would make it much easier for more people to be involved in the event, since it will be available to all layers within that area.
What I would like to see is the gnome being made fatter to look more the type. Maybe the Gnome generals could be re-coloured to look like its elves for lolz.
Do you think we could get JK to buy into this idea?

Quintafeira12 Why would you save it as .jpg and ruin the quality though? That was a lazy recolour done in paint, my laptop doesn't have photoshop like my computer does. So I just re-coloured and saved. Why not have different versions of the boss in different areas. For example the Village Green Santa has could have the flamingos patrolling with it. Where each flamingo must be defeated before facing santa.
Another could have a Lawnshark as a ledge.
Another having General Mayhem elves as its helpers.
Add variety of what is essentially the same event.

Maybe just have Santa walking along the path (or pathways) of each area surrounded by his various guards (maybe quick recolors of fluffs and other similar creatures to a christmas-y red/white/green accent color scheme - Tiny Terrors, Anchor Bugs, Mother Fluffs, etc. etc. ). When one event ended, the next would begin (so it would seem like he was travelling nonstop through the various maps) and then they'd repeat. It would be fairly regular and spread throughout the different servers, so hopefully no big lag-fests.
- His lil' helpers would drop various coal items when killed. They'd attack anyone who attacked them or Santa. Santa wouldn't fight back. The helpers would have lots of CC and would be invulnerable to crowd control.
- Santa would have extremely high health, invulnerability to crowd control (so his path is always consistent), health regen, maybe Reflection if possible. If he was killed, he'd spawn another Santa (like Gilroy spawns smaller garlics) who would continue the route.
- Santa would drop a modest gold, orb, and random presents drop to everyone who landed a hit on him when killed.

DrQuint *falls out of nowhere* Are we still on time to send this idea to JK? ninja I did show it to JK a while ago and loved the idea, but I dont know if he wanted to implement it. He said he wanted to add Mecha Santa into the game, which would be like fighting Jack. Frankly I would love to see both happening. I shared this to the AtA on one occasion, but as usual they tended to ignore my zOMG questions back then, only recently have they started answering. With DMS about to finish I think they'll have time to add these into the game, just need to rally more support. lol thanks
