Summer Quest Ideas

Here are my 3 undeveloped ideas for quests for the summer:

http://i.imgur.com/TKmmzri.pngThe Descendhttp://i.imgur.com/TKmmzri.png

Between Northridge and Southridge, there is a maelstrom that descends anyone who is nearby.
The person is sent down to a confidential vast laboratory, created by Pyro Tech, testing on different kind of deep-sea creatures. Most were failures but made as minions to one successful invention. This invention is an ocoptus who is believed to be the ultimate weapon for Pyro Tech, but their mischief has brought chaos upon iEra and themselves. Many PyroTech members were killed thanks to this octopus.
There is one member left behind in the lab, and he pleads the player's assistance to eliminate this octopus.
Basically, the player is trapped in a labyrinth that can only be freed by the octopus. Therefore, passing through baddies, eliminating them, the purpose of this quest is also to stop the octopus from going to the surface. There will be multiple times that this octopus escapes intentionally.
A frustrating quiz with sorts of hints given by severely harmed members of Pyrotech to open the doors of the octopus realm.
It's a shame that this octopus has superior powers that he'd know when the player is going in.However,
However, the player does harm the octopus. Cutting one tentacle off- which can be used as a powerful melee. Probably the minion baddies drop raw fish (that can be thrown and poison another player, but not a fish-related baddy) and seafood used to eat. Sushi anyone?

Why aren't their lifeguards on duty? Oh, that's right... Chris Z and Caspar can't afford any new lifeguards, only the senior veteran ones. Well, guess what? They're too old to work!
The beach is calling new fresh inexperienced players to join the team and take care of the beach. However, the beach isn't just giving CPR to sexy well-made pixel players- no! It's fighting crime?
Inspired by Baywatch, the infamous organization, Morano Family, is trying to crash and reign over iEra once again. They have been dropping shipments, illegal ones, down to Northridge.
Investigate every mafia member on iEra (NPC) to find the base of the Morano Family and stop them.
Rewards are the basic beach uniform given plus an exclusive weapon that was used to stop the Morano Family.
It's a shame that the people that brought chaos and terror to the beach were these old farts that you took their jobs.

Summer can't wait, but for this malicious doctor, it can. He isn't a huge fan of heat and he'll do anything in his power to stop summer. Yes- including freezing all iEra until his death.
Stop this man and bring him to justice with the antidote that the Police Force has. Destroy all his despicable followers and bring this cold season an end, because it's summertime!
Fight snowmen with machine guns that shoot icicles, evil elves, and the minons of the madman's followers.
Prize? Summer's redemption and doctor's winter/laser gun. I suppose you can take the weapons from the minons after killing them, but don't tell the police chief.

That's all I had in mind. Hope you enjoyed. Just ideas, you can always contribute.

The last idea is my favorite. I really like the reward for it. I also like how it isn't "in your face" about the Summer theme if that makes any sense.

These are amazing, Kendrick.
Why aren't you staff yet what even.

I'm attached to all three of these ideas, how long did it take you to come up with this?
It seems flawless

Amazing!
I love the second one

Well they're not going in detail, but it was just some shower thoughts.

Thanks!
No clue whatsoever.

I love the three of them, it gave me some ideas, since you mentioned scientist why not to defeat the octopus, the doctor gives you a list of items that you need to find, they're hidden in the levels on your way to the octopus and when you find them all you go grab some sort of bowl or something to make a potion, this potion can either be used as the one shot kill or it can be given in a quantity that helps defeat the octopus.

these are great ideas. Im sure some if not all will be used

These are some.great detailed ideas. Would love to see one of them brought to life!

I like the last one, all of these are very creative ideas.

Whoa! Okay okay, so the octopus technically doesn't get killed, because he'll have a second part, a continuation.
Anyways, when you said a fish bowl, it reminded me of an amazing book named "The River Man". Basically it's about a kid who goes touches a fish bowl and enters a multi dimension that is a dream, but is real, it's an awe.
OT: After defeating the octopus, you find a strange fish bowl that is both beautiful and horrific. You use this to go to another dimension, which is where the octopus reigns but you don't know that yet, it isn't modern iEra, it's a place where dreams are born.
As soon you go in, it's nothing but pitch black and stars. You are given the choice of three classes: medic, warrior, or mage. This class will be with you forever when you're inside this dimension. (Players can't leave this dimension even if they try to log off or say unstick me.)
Inside, you cross different portals to different worlds, fighting cruel inexplicable disturbing monsters that gives leads to a doctor.
When you see this doctor, he starts off as a madman, but after you defeat him and lead him to the verge of his death, he surrenders and tell you his story: How he was trapped in there forever trying to stop the octopus. Doc gives you the potion to kill the octopus and after giving it to you, you start to be far apart of the doctor strangely.
After a while, you see a tentacle penetrate the chest of the doctor- it's him.
Thats when you fight off the octopus.
Guess what? The potion didn't kill the octopus, but it brings you back to the world. You receive a message from the octopus that says "You are not strong enough to stop me."
Then leads on to the second part which would be later in the year.

Maybe they could incorporate the water park and your quest ideas, especially the Descend.

@Kendrick

Since you wanted me to post this rather than pm you, here it is:

I wanted to suggest a bit of additional detail to your idea, "Winter in Summer".

I was thinking to include PyroTech within the theme somehow.

Since it's summer, you and I, along with the rest of the community here should come up with ways to link the company, PyroTech, with the overall theme of summer.

Let's, for the sake of characterization, call the malicious doctor, Dr. Sno.

I am pretty sure the admins can make sure that the entire map is back to the winter theme in the meantime.

The event can go on for about 2 weeks? (Starting from the "official" start of summer). I would assume it would give enough people enough time to participate in the event itself.

I think overall the quest should feature both a hot and cold item.

As you mentioned, Dr. Sno and his evil minions could drop weapons. I would assume that these are melees of some kind.

(I have an additional suggestion here. Instead of the boring old daggers that they throw out, it would be sort of cool to have a droppable item that kinda looks like one of those auction wizard staffs. It can shoot out blue lightning- assuming that the admins will figure out the stats- and one of the additional effects it should have is that if you are holding it while you run, it leaves a trail of snowflakes. If people that are chasing after you follow in your footsteps directly, they are slowed just like they would if they were in poison gas.)

So here's where my ideas will merge with yours @Kendrick.

I was thinking about ways to introduce PyroTech into the overall quest without being too abrupt or intrusive.

What if, we have another character, who is the exact twin of Dr. Sno, but the polar opposite?

As an example, we can have like a female Dr. Sunshine (it's an example), who is the director of PyroTech and it trying to fight against her evil twin brother?

What I was thinking is that she will send you out on a quest to collect a few things to "build" a flame/ heat/ fireball gun.

What I was also thinking is that this gun is the only gun that you can use to actually fight Dr. Sno and his minions, which in my opinion, really evens out the playing field for the entire era population. You don't want some chem guy farming minions as opposed to little Timmy and his uzi. (In other words, "normal" guns won't have any effect.)

I was thinking about a multiple stage level for this quest, being that it is a seasonal event after all.

What we should do is let the little minions that go around the entire map of era drop the melees. They should also drop "key pieces" to Dr. Sno's evil lab.

Let's say, after collecting 10 key pieces, it will make a key that will allow players to access Dr. Sno's lab. (My suggestion here @admins is to use the house to the right of the airport and to the left of the Facebook garage. It was used for a Halloween event for a devil horn hat many years ago.)

We can set it up like Crypt, where the minions will come at you in waves and once again, you will only be able to use the flame gun.

Assuming you don't die (let's assume the death counter is 3? 5? per person...) after all the waves have been completed, you go fight the big boss, Dr. Sno.

Basically he will be one of those big NPC's that are used in Hunted. He will be holding one of those wizard staff that I talked about earlier. Therefore, you gotta pick where to run because he's going to leave a giant trail of snow that will slow you down. (Gas masks won't help)

He can summon his little minions and of course, he can deal damage to you if you get close just like any other aggressive NPC.

In retrospect, I think it would be a better idea to leave the "boring" or less special melees to the little minions around the map. Dr. Sno should drop the wizard staff himself.

------------------------------------------------------------

It's a work in progress and it certainly needs a lot of tweaking and revising but what do you think @Kendrick?

Senior Rush is my favorite, but we might run into some copyright issues...

Mans Kendrick always doing the most

I like the idea of Dr. Sunshine and Dr. Sno, and the fact of having 'waves' like crypt.

Maybe don't quote a big post

@Fahrenheit
Love the idea!
However, I think one week should be enough.
As with your trail poison idea, I believe it's too OP for players can walk everywhere, creating a mess throughout the map. (everyone will be poisoned).

@Kendrick

Yeah, I was worried about that DX

What if the item automatically switches from the "snowflake trail mode" to "lightning mode" from an interval of say, 15 seconds?

It would certainly bring about an age of new melee modes. Players would have to learn how to adapt instantly.

Maybe just scroll down?

@Fahrenheit
Well to minimize chaos and people slowing down due to spam of "snowflake trail mode", players who step this trail will not automatically be slowed down, it's a matter of chances that can be affected by it. So I would say that it's a 1/4 chance players who touch it will be affected by it?
About the lightning mode, I imagine anyone who touches this trail will be electrocuted.

New idea: The footsteps will be used as bullets. It'll have a freeze to decrease spam! Players tap the fire button and only 5 steps will come out. Yes this trail can harm them 1HP but the chances are still low to be slowed down. Slowing down will last the same as being gassed.

@Kendrick

I think for the "lightning mode", it would be better suited for the footsteps being used as bullets.

I think I like the idea of the "snowflake trail mode" users to have a slightly increased movement speed to pretty much outflank people that will try and kite them.

I am not sure overall how I want things x.x

I also agree with your idea of the snowflake trail having a 1/4 chance to slow.

I think there should be one where you are hired as a member of the Morano organization, and try to take down another rival gang like the syndicate

That doesn't exactly fit the summer theme
