  • Event Proposal: Monstership Invasion

    04. 23. 2018 15:03


Karasuda

Before I start explaining this event, let me start with a disclaimer.

The following details is a propsal for a permanent/semi-permanent mini-event to reward harbor owning fleets and to encourage fleets to attempt to obtain a harbor to participate.

Details in this event are subject to change, while some points shall be non-negotiable to ensure the integrity of the event. This mini-event may be cancelled at any time and rules may change to balance the difficulty of the event. We will provide advance notice of any rule changes in the official post if this event proposal meets general approval of the community.

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

Explanation of "Monstership (or Nuke Duck) Invasion":

Monstership invasion is meant to be a fun, yet extremely challenging (or near impossible) event that harbor owning fleets may participate in that challenges their skill and teamwork.  

Here is how it works:

1) A harbor owning fleet may request the Event Team to "Invade/Attack" their harbor.

2) Based off of harbor declaration availability, and first come first serve basis, we will declare on the requestor's harbor. (We do not have the ability to override another fleet's declaration, therefore if another fleet declares on that harbor, we will be unable to declare and we will move to the next requestor)

3) Upon the day of the Harbor Assault, the Event Team will use either a Monstership or Nuke Duck for the Assault.

4) The defending team must SINK the Monstership or Nuke Duck before it reaches (and parks) in the harbor.


Rules for Fleets:

1) A fleet may only request 1 assault within x time period. This rule is to allow other fleets the chance to request an assault AND prevent a fleet from using the event as a way to defend their harbor from other fleets.

2) A fleet must SINK, the monstership to win. It is not enough to merely successfully defend for the entire time. 

3) A fleet cannot park members inside of their harbor to prevent the monstership from shooting at them.

Rules for Event Team:

1) The Monstership my not fire upon the harbor, however, if a defender is attempting to park inside or near the harbor to prevent being fired upon, the defending fleet is responsible for any damage to their harbor or the potential loss of their harbor due to accidental damage.

2) The monstership shall take the shortest, most direct route to the harbor, subject to change upon proof of concept testing.

3) The monstership must sink all Surface Ships that block its path to the harbor before parking and declaring victory.  Explanation: If a hidden submarine parks on the other side of the map, or a surface ship is hiding away from the harbor, it is not blocking the path, nor being a threat.

4) The monstership shall not take a harbor. If a fleet decides they wish to shell their own harbor....Well, can't really stop them from making their own decisions.


Prizes:

Due to the difficulty level that this event is supposed to provide, This event may provide better prizes than our normal "Sink the Monstership" mini-events. Prizes will be decided upon during proof of concept testing.

I've been sitting on this idea for a while.

Due to the mechanics of HA, the monstership shouldn't be able to repair between battles, therefore, it may be possible to defeat it during an HA. However, I have never taken the monstership into a HA before, so I am unsure if it will cause issues (desyncs, crashes, etc.) that are outside of the norm.


I want to make the process of forming this and future mini-events as open to the community as possible and as public as possible. Please feel free to leave comments, ideas, concerns, or a +1 if you like the idea with how it sounds.

Dear Karasuda,

I think this kind of Event is a good suggestion.Also I see some pros and cons.

1) Since most Fleets declare on most harbors as soon as decleration is possible I think that it could proof to be difficult for some harbors to participate in this Event. (Also harbor Attack dynamics could have changed due to the new times and bigger player base).

2) The opportunity to achieve an Award could draw more players to join fleets and thus make harbor assaults like the used to be from my old EU Server times where you almost had full rooms on at least 2-3 lanes. 

3) I think the Monster Ship should declare on harbors that have been uncontested for at least X weeks (at least 3) to give players the opportunity for some action

4) Since Harbor Assault rooms tend to recieve higher crash rates than normal rooms there has to be a rule concering crash issues. For example a restart of a tile (Time won´t be an issue :1 )

5) I think this forum section is rarely visited and you might have to consider posting this on the general disscussion section.

6) After some trials I think if it prooves to be a balanced Harbor Assault with most (65% and up) of the Attacks resulting in a succesfull Defence this "Event" could be transformed to an actual Harbor Attack where the Defending Fleet loses the Harbor. This could also make point No. 3 more appealing and add a Risk for the chance to get big rewards.

Thank you for your effort and I really hope this event will receive some more feedback.
