It would work more or less like this:

  1. Players submit their entries when we're running a contest.
  2. We pick our favorite when it's over.
  3. We contact the winner and discuss the details, such as balancing the rewards, adjusting the requirements, etc.
  4. Once it's done, the achievement/mission is added in-game, the winner credited somewhere and awarded with something.

 

To avoid dealing with half-assed entries such as "kill x mobs, receive z exp", players are asked to put some creativity into it and state the purpose of their entry.

Purposes such as: make players revisit old maps and dungeons, promote doing quests, make a certain item available, create a hard challenge or simply add something that could be fun, etc.

 

 

Thoughts, ideas?

Mmm, well I was a fan of some of the ideas I heard a while back.

 

One that I really liked was the one in regards in dungeon access. Having a special achievement for the first player to complete the quest that gives access, and then allowing everybody else to access it from then on.

1. Items made, such as food, runes, and poison. Making "x" amount without failing

This encourages people to farm for their said items and can sometimes add serious suspense

2. Upgrading gear reaching +10 and +20 (either by blacksmith/whitesmith,mech or Payon/Prontera upgrader)

Adds to the satisfaction after having broken hundreds of the equipment.

3.Making a headgear through quest 

This one is just for fun considering everyone loves headgears. Will encourage people to actually do the quests.

I'm not asking for entries, that will be done when we run a contest, I just want some input on the whole idea.

Id be very interested in this. A perfect way to add something to any part of the game. Be it endgame content, challenge or im even okay with certain grind achievements as long as the time/=/reward is properly set up.

Very important is to know how far we are limited. I know that server side limitations are easier to work around than client side. (For example the aura thing would be a borderline task, because we would have to use something like @effect to achieve this, because as far as i know the aura handling is pretty strict)

I have millions of ideas and im sure others do too.
