Suggestion: A fix to the 1 uncurable Boss curse

[cozycats]

Every Boss curse in the game has a simple cure. Kill the Boss.

Every Boss except 1, that boss has nobody begging for a cure. WHY? The curse makes them want to be cursed.

Now I speak for many Druids and other players, the Enyos curse needs a forced cure to preserve our sanity!


I suggest a cure like this:
1 - A party of 5 players is formed
2 - The party casts a binding spell on the cursed player.
..A - Accuracy applies to the spell
..B - Resistance, evasion, dodge, etc applies to the cursed player.
3 - Once bound the player is forced to follow the party.
..A - The binding costs power every tick. Total cost is determined by the bound players level divided amoung the party members.
..B - The binding can be revoked by the party at any time.
4 - The bound player gets a chance to break free every refresh, teleport, Zone change, death of a party member or loss of concentration.
..A - Loss of concentration is if less than 3 party members have 100 or more power.
..B - The chance to break free should be something like power + resistance vs % party power + boosts
5 - Once drug into the Ranlon Cave the chance to escape rises
..A - 10% better chance in the Cave.
..B - The bound player can attack the party at 20% normal damage and 2x slower CD.
6 - When inside the Boss Den the chance rises more.
..A - 25% better chance to escape.
..B - 50% normal damage and 50% slower CD.

Escaping...
1 - RUN!
2 - Pretend to still be bound......
3 - Attack the binding party at full strength + 10% damage and faster CD


The bound player can not escape by dying! The binding spell acts as a tether until escape, or conversion/death of the party!


This should be a dangerous operation to undertake but the results are worth it! The bound player is granted a MONTH of the "Frog Licker" curse immunity once the curse is broken!

So, as piece of fiction, it is interesting.

If serious, a few problems. 1) The mechanics are probably beyond the scope of what's possible. Traveling across a zone probably messes it up. Or clicking on many instant teleports, various skills, etc. Or simply logging out.

2) This is essentially PVP. If someone doesn't want the curse removed, they aren't going to appreciate the efforts by the group, and things will run downhill from there.The PVP aspect will expand, with the individual asking for help, others getting involved, chat going to hell, and admin needing to be involved. Pitting players against each other, especially in a several vs. one scenario, is not good for community.

3) If you truly don't like the curse, this isn't the way to get people to stop. You'll see a lot more people with it.

If the curse really bugs you, you can always just choose to put people on ignore.

Who is Enyos, and what is his curse? Can't find it in the wiki.

Enoyos is the god of the oceans that the ranalon worship. The curse cozy is talking about is from the doctrine keeper in the ranalon den. It adds text to your chat messages, that badmouthes druids/devra or ranalon prpaganda.

Oh that. I wondered about that. I've seen all that talk and wondered what it was about
