'The Bat-Crave' event the solution to everyones problems

0
Almost every player that doesnt have it wants it,

and almost every player that doesnt want (or doesnt wear it) has it

YES im talking about the Batman-Inspired Mask

BUT WAIT I have a solution that will please everyone



(read this paragraph if you want or skip to the details below)
I feel like it is unfair on those that didnt start dcuo till later. I have been playing the games for years on USPC, not since hack or anything (but not far off imo). I feel like they recieved the coolest most iconic dcuo style through a matter that was completely out of their hands and half of them dont even wear the thing lol. Fair enough they deserved a reward for the inconvenience, but why rob anyone else of earning it, or ever having it, especially those that would actually wear it permanently -like me lol. DCUO should set up a competition with various categories (like an olympic games). However this event could happen maybe once or twice a year, with categories that give all types of players (but only the serious ones) a chance, e.g. pvp competitions, style competitions, races, pve etc. Now the prize should be a choice of the batman-inspired mask or maybe another iconic style for "hack-players" or previous winners that want a chance at that too.
This would be like the Tri- wizard tournament in Harry Potter, where winners would really feel like they beat the odds and earned eternal glory, where they can brandish their trophy ingame and have immediate respect because there is no question that they deserved it but most importantly THEY EARNED IT!!!


NOW I CALL THIS 'THE BAT-CRAVE EVENT!'

give it a chance it would be an amazing addition to the community and ingame content.



There could possibly be 5 categories on PC and PS3


  • A [insert name] style competition (e.g. bat family related in some way, or own character inspired by batman) depending on what is decided for that year (one villain winner and one hero winner as the choicce of styles on both sides are different)


  • 1v1 (arena) competition (but maybe everyone has to wear same armour, mods maybe allowed?, no colas, only breakout trinkets)


  • 1v1 (legends) competition


  • Races (starts off with group races to narrow down entrants, then becomes a time trial sort of thing whereby the total elapsed time over 3 races are added up to further narrow down competitors.




  • Still stuck for a PVE category that is managable and fair

ORGANISING IT

Members of the Dcuo council, should help to organise the event as well (but must be voted in by other council members to help out) also they can not invigilate on events that they are entering



Style competiton

It is not too difficult to wittle the numbers down in a fair way so i will skip



Maybe for the 1v1s and the pve category there should be a new arena/map option to queue called 'Bat-Crave' where only enterred players are able to get into it.

1v1 Arena competition

It should automatically strip players of the ability to use their colas and any pvp gear 87 in arenas and automatically pair off players in 1v1 lair battles (same structure). The loser will recieve an automated message saying they have lost and are out of the competition, whilst the winner will recieve a congratulations and be told to queue up again. Players will need to reach a certain amount of wins to progress to the finals. They can track this from a realtime leaderboard or automated messages. This will also be a 'first past the post system' the quicker you reach the benchmark the better your seed in the finals. Dont worry if you dont have as much time as others because it is about wins, jus as long as ure still alive and have played the quota ofmatches by the deadline you are fine. Finals will be shown on FNL with the top seeds battling it out.



1v1 legends competition

same as above, normal legends characters, 1v1 lair battles, same as above



PVE competition

Maybe players queue into a special map like on FridayNightLegends where there is a modified boss that they have to ****. However this will be a time trial where they not only have to survive but they have to **** it as quickly as possible. That time will then be clocked on a realtime leaderboard. Players will be able to compete and improve on this time until a certain deadline when the leaderboard is frozen. Also any player that dies will be locked out of the instance for an hour, meaning their chances of improving on their time diminish. Finalists will be the top 10 and these will compete on FridayNightLegends, with a new, reset leaderboard viewers will be able to see the times reset and the finalists given 30mins to get the fastest time again.

Not sure if there should be a cap on gear or just colas and trinkets???



Race competition

The australia map (possibly a different one) will be taken over and have race hoops placed all over it. Only those that have met the entry requirements can queue for and enter this map. 16 players will queue into it and the race will commence in the usual countdown fashion (till the barrier turns green). The times will be clocked on a realtime leaderboard which will freeze at the designated deadline. Then the top players will race on FNL in a best of five format until a winner is decided.



THE FINALS

These will be shown on FridayNightLegends


  • The style competition finalists will be judged by the community and the winners shown


  • The 1v1s arena and legends will be shown


  • The race finalists will be shown

  • the pve finals too...



Possible entry requirments:


  • Be level 30 on the entering character for at least 12 months


  • Be premium or legendary


  • Reach a certain CR ingame (maybe 60)


  • PVP cr of 87


  • Reach a certain benchmark of playtime from a certain date till entry deadline (have to complete at least 2 specific duos, 2 alerts and 2 raids in that time)


  • Fill out a sign up form before deadline


  • Can only enter 1 character per account


  • can only enter one event category


  • There will be an unkown cap so 1st come 1st served basis


  • Players that do not have the cowl or have not won before will be given priority over those that already recieved the cowl or are previous winners (those that have the cowl are only eligible to win the alternative style)

  • Once players have recieved word that they are still eligible to enter there will be a 300 station cash cost to seal the deal (shows you are serious)


  • We have to have all this completed before the deadline to enter



WINNERS

There will be 6 winners on each server from each platform e.g. USPC EUPC USPS3 EUPS3



So 24 dedicated players will EARN one each year.



2nd and third players get lesser prizes, and all players in top ten of each category get their money back (300station cash)



(OR COULD GIVE TOP 3 PLAYERS IN EACH CATEGORY THE MASK IF DCUO ARE FEELING GENEROUS :)

meaning 18 winners on each server a year and only 72 winners across ALL the platforms and servers, which is nothing in comparison to players



Their names and a chosen image of their character will go into a hall of fame and be immortalised in some way on the dcuo website, or ingame maybe.



THEREFORE THE BAT-INSPIRED MASK WILL STILL BE RARE AND THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE AROUND THE EVENT SHOULD BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER (IF DONE RIGHT) AND TONS MORE PLAYERS TO THE GAME!



POSITIVES OF THIS IDEA

GIves most experienced players something else to do/work towards that isnt easy to complete



Gives all players a new goal, one that is really challenging and that has a great reward, BUT has at least one category that any player can have a good go at.



Give those that are upset that it is never coming back, or new players that keep-asking how people got it a chance to earn it, instead of feeling bummed knowing that they cant ever really look like a good batman without it



Create a never-before-seen atmosphere and drive to play the game, that will bring an influx of new players and old players back to the game.



It will always be one of the biggest DCUO events/landmarks of the year that will have everyone logging in way more than usual for a piece of the action.



It would bring more hero players to the villain side (especially on the PC) as they have less players therefore better odds of winning



This could also be developed in future where winners have the chance to pick from a selection of gear styles from the opposite faction, e.g. heros could have the chance to win villain-only styles and vice-versa



Of course there are loads more positives of THE 'BAT-CRAVE' EVENT



Thanks for reading if you made it this far, this is just a rough idea that I had but lets get this noticed by the people that can make this all possible!!!

Bowerbird, (USPC)
