Event Idea: Gear Throwback

vadersapprentice

I don't know if i'm the only one who has thought of this but I was wondering if there could/should be an event where a new NPC gets created for this event only and it has all the old mod 5 purple lvl 60 gear in it as TRANSMUTE only. For example the Draconic Templar sets, and what happens is during this event everyone gets 4 free BtC items from this category (they can spend say 20k ad on each after said 4). I am thinking about this because I am a trickster rogue who regrets salvaging my draconic templar set and master assassin set because they looked so cool when mod 6 started. I am also hoping that if enough people start talking about this the devs or whoever can make this happen makes it happen.

To bring the old gear's will take too much time and probably won't happen,
but the Idea of transmuting is good.

How about a: FREE Transmuting Weekend!!
During this Event time, all players can transmuting with no cost.

this could be really awesome as event-

Well it might not take THAT much time because they probably still have the code for all the old gear somewhere in a stored file or on an old server or something all they would really have to do is take away the stats on each one, which if im correct about them still having it all somewhere then all you would need is like 2 hours of time just making them all say transmute only, if so then i think it could be a viable thing. I also really like our idea of free transmute weekend as well, but i think they would have to make that one more of a surprise one for it to work out because people on the auction houses would raise the cost of everything to make up for the 50k ad that you are saving (unless those majority of people don't think like me lol) and quite frankly i would be happy with either one of these because not to be insulting but i really dislike the elven gear look.

It's a great idea and wouldn't take the devs much time at all to implement.

Why would this take too much time? O_o

It's just recycling content they already have.

...this can take four to five months to implement...

...well, at least when you have to stitch old combat AI from the Redcap Powrie and Witherer to the old models of the Eye of Gruumsh and Orc Shaman...:^/

OK, that's somewhat unjust, I admit. But basically... ...C, don't think we don't notice, just because we let you get away with it.

It would mean rewriting all the loot tables. Remember the Chest bug two weeks ago???

Be careful about what you wish for...

/sarcasm2


Meh. Problem:

Old loot came from old Dungeon chests. In old dungeons. and which dungeon determined which Piece of Armour you'd find (Helm, Chest, Legs,...). And ofc there's that slight problem with the presence of at least one of these dungeons...

/sarcasm3


OK, my bad habits got the better of me.

In principle a good idea, but it won't happen this year. Could be a great old-dungeons-relaunch-themed event weekend idea, though.

I have saved every armor set Ive used since the game started, habit from my time playing EQ/WoW. My bank looks like a museum haha.
That said it would be cool for players who never got to see the various armor designs.
