As the title suggests, I think ToS needs Timed Quests and Random Events. These would both add more depth to the game (which in my opinion it desperately needs) and works well with another suggestion I’ll be making in another thread.
What do these things actually mean?
First of all, Timed Quests.
These would be big quests, dungeons, or events that happen yearly, bi-yearly, or whenever else. They would be guaranteed to happen and have a defined time. Maybe it’s a demon-lord who escapes his eternal confinement, or a new demon arises. Or maybe it’s a yearly event where a new enemy is crowned or trained.
Think of it like this: Players hear about this and prepare all year long. Noobs are scrambling to get ready for it so they won’t miss out on an amazing loot/story opportunity. The whole community rumbles with excitement and hype.
Even if you miss it, there will be another chance, and it’s always something to look forward to. This is exactly what Tree of Savior needs, and gives a break from the grinding and dailys. The events we have already are great, though this idea makes for monumental fun and is guaranteed to leave an impression, especially the first time you go into it.
Second, Random Events.
I have so many ideas with these, so I’ll just say a couple.
Basically, these are events/happenings that happen randomly. They could be small invasions in places that players know will happen but just not when or where, or they could be massive events that just sort of occur.
It’s pretty clear ToS is all about fighting against demons. Think about it: You get an alert that “An Invasion has begun!”. You rush over to wherever, to fight along-side (or at least in a group effort, maybe in channels or separate battles) hundreds of other players and AI soldiers. Maybe it’s preventing a siege or just fighting on an open field.
You could also expand on this idea with careers or circles, or even a special item you have to get in a dungeon, or maybe from a timed quest. Maybe you receive a Guard’s Scroll & Medallion. When an invasion happens you’ll be paged and can use the scroll to get there fast.
There’s so much to expand upon, and I think they would work great with ToS, especially the Timed Quests.
