Very sorry for everything! This is the only one you should look in. The others can me removed! Sorry again!!!

Elements of Faith

Elements of Faith is an instance for everyone who is 90+. Two squads are made. The leader of every squad takes the quest from the Elements of Faith NPC in City of Thousand Streams. It will cost 600k per squad.
Both squads will be teleported to the start of the first element, Air.
Elements of Faith exists of five parts, four bigger parts, that of the four elements (Air, Fire, Water and Earth) and a small part, where the final boss will be. At the end of each element are two bosses, one for each squad. The squad that kills his own boss before the other squads boss dies, will win that element, and will be rewarded with experience, spirit, money and reputation. All the debuffs and AoEs of the bosses will only affect/hit their own squad.
To get to that final boss, they both need to run the same path (all maps are mirrored) and kill mobs. They also need to kill a guard, which opens the gate to the boss. After one squad wins an element, the teleport NPC located near the boss will have a quest that will teleport you to the start of the next element. After the fourth boss you will be teleported to the island where the final boss is. Whoever kills the final boss first will be rewarded with the final reward, a Sign of the Elements, which you can trade for items. Each member of the winning squad will receive one sign.
All the mobs that you find on the element maps have a chance (about 15 - 20 %) to drop Crystals. Air mobs will drop Air Crystals, fire mobs will drop Fire Crystals, water mobs will drop Water Crystals and earth mobs will drop Earth Crystals. These crystals can be made into special blessings, right before the last boss, to make that fight easier.


Blessings you can make before the final boss:

Number behind the blessing is the amount of crystals needed from each element. (Example, 4 means you need 4 air, 4 fire, 4 water and 4 earth crystals.)


+ 5 attack level for 5 minutes 2
+ 10 attack level for 5 minutes 3
+ 15 attack level for 5 minutes 4
+ 20 attack level for 5 minutes 5

+ 5 defense level for 5 minutes 1
+ 10 defense level for 5 minutes 2
+ 15 defense level for 5 minutes 3
+ 20 defense level for 5 minutes 4

Recovers 9000 mana over 10 seconds x3 4
Recovers 9000 HP over 10 seconds x3 6
Gives 2 sparks instant x3 10

Immune for damage for 20 seconds x2 8
Immune for debuffs for 30 seconds x2 12


Rewards


The quest reward from the last boss will be one Sign of Elements for each member of the winning squad. This can be traded at the Elements of Faith NPC located in City of Thousand streams for rewards. It wont disappear when leaving the instance and cannot be traded with other players.

Last number is the amount of signs it costs to make it.

Blessing of fire x2 1
Magic attack + 50 % for 60 minutes.

Magic defense + 50 % for 60 minutes.

    Geez guys, she obviously put a lot of thought into this idea so give her a break for making mistakes.

    Cool idea btw, sounds challenging and fun. I like having two squads competing. Would be better if the entry fee were removed imo.

    Maybe this is a nice idea and you put much work in it but as mentioned before wrong part of the forum and creating 20+ threads that are more less the same also doesnt help to take you seriusly.

    I didn't even think this was a suggestion till I read the posts. That was so damn good, I thought it was actually a real instance. If this gets implemented I will actually try to get to 90 just for thatb:victory. This is a epic win honey b:chuckle

    Maybe a bit too unbalanced rewards. And the better tome is just too OP with that -int. Maybe it should be -0.05 too.

    Overall I think the dungeon is great. 600k cost per players might be a bit too much, but you can get it back when you finish the dungeon since the rewards are so good. You have put a lot of work on this.

    I'd love to do it, and to win you've got to have a good squad too, or else you won't get anything.

    But you should've put it in the suggestion forum ;)

    First and foremost, I think that's a piece of impressive work you have there. I don't know how feasible or fair it is, but it sure looks nice ;)

    Just a suggestion:

    I think the elements should correspond with the ones PW has. We got Earth, Wood, Fire, Water, and Metal. We don't have the Air element. So for consistency with the lore and whatnot, I think if you changed it to these, it would be better.

    Good idea, but easily exploitable. Just pay the other squad to do nothing or make two squads from the same faction and you can easily win each time, maybe alternate if it is same faction squad.

    Thank you all very much for being so positive for me. I don't know what happened, but to get the code back I just hit back on my browser and everytime it created a new topic.

    I did put alot of work in it, but that exploit theory of you is scary. I should have thought of that. Also the rewards are kinda examples. But indeed, they don't match very well.

    Thanks again all!

    Maybe the squads could be matched randomly, and a penalty added if you do less than 1/2 of the other squad's contribution to the quest?

    Thats pretty impressive, I gotta say. I agree, that it is exploitable, as well as the rewards a bit too heavy. With the right amount of fiddling around, it could work.

    The concept is pretty good ^.^ tbh, I would rather see the instances that arent working properly first be fixed b:chuckle

    So, the squad that doesn't kill the final boss first gets nothing? That seems a little unfair after paying that entry fee and going through pots etc. (a lot of people would want to try this, but not everyone can get a top notch squad). Maybe implement rewards for the second squad too that aren't as good as the first, but still at least make the 600k fee feel worth it.

    But I do agree that this looks fun, and it would be great if things like this would be added to make things more interesting after lvl 90. Although if they don't even want to take the time to fix bugs, I highly doubt they would ever take the time to create an entire new instance.

    So, this is what, a massive rep + imba fest?

    For one, the amount of rep rewards is unrealistic. With all of those stamps, you'd be looking at like 42 rep each time you complete it, if not more. Also, the ease of getting perfect shards, 100 rep and pages make this basically a huge farm fest for imba gear, Rank 8 and all skills.

    Oh, and the tomes? The second one is especially imba. There is currently NO tome with -0.1 interval, and for a good reason. With one, you could use ANY fist or claw and still be able to get 5 aps. Or you could get over 1 aps on a bow without much trouble.

    Also, you DO realize that 50% attack is equal to +50 Attack Level, something found on Warsouls? That alone is rather ridiculous.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

    I reread the whole thing again and I have few ideas.

    -remove the -int from the tomes
    -remove the option for perfect shards and change it to flawless shards. if every squad members could get 5 perfect shards per completion, the price would go down and WBs wouldn't be worth it anymore.
    -tone down the blessings. even 10% boost is enough

    That's all I can suggest. Other than the unbalanced rewards the idea is good, although I think it could be like CoA or horse race: everyone starts at the same time. Oh and make 90-99 and 100+ a different instance; otherwise all the big cash-shoppers would ruin the fun if it isn't squad vs. squad.

    Have you considerd that Perfect World uses the Chinese element system? There is no air element in the system PW uses. Your idea would make more sense if you had Wood and Metal instances instead of Air.

    Aside from that, there are already several instances in PWI which feature the five elements. FB59 and Warsong, for instance. You've clearly put a lot of thought into this and it sounds like a solid idea, but it would need to use the established element system... and even then, you're not one of the Chinese devs so the chances of them listening to this idea are slim to none.

    Sorry, just trying to be the voice of realism here. :-/

    The floating instance would be great; I think it fits PWI's theme nicely there are already numerous floating objects on some maps.

    While the competition idea is nice in theory, the problem is how it will play out in reality. In the end, the squad with 5 -Interval fist BMs & a cleric will always win. Normal players wont have much of a chance. I personally dont like the idea that the squad that is already better geared, gets the rewards, when its those in need of upgrading that wont get squat.

    Also would add about the 5 chinese elements being different then the 4 western elements you used, but thats been covered already.

    it would be cool if u also got put into a random squad... so totally random squads working together so no OP groups could dominate...
    even if there were no reward i would still do this
