Greetings from Ta'Vaalor!

Festival of the Fallen will return once again this fall. With that being said, now is the time to toss out what you loved/hated about this event. All ideas, suggestions, and requests are welcome whether it be items, services, or the arena combat.

I have noted the comment about spell levels and paladins.



DISCLAIMER: There is no guarantee or promise that any of these suggestions will actually appear at the Festival.

Any chance we have dates set out? I'd like to ensure the Festival I'm planning with the Alliance doesn't overlap?

I'd love to see the nice lil lady Rikelle back putting her morphing script on fusion armor.

Because I managed not to get spun EVERY time she offered it at Ebon Gate!

Thank you, but I know those tend to be tentative and I would like confirmation from those running the event.

I recall the raffles last time being an excellent mix of fluff (spectacles, wine press, sig verbs) and mechanical. I'd like to see that carry through again.

Also, will the shops be updated? Particularly A Formal Affair and The Lady's Tears? I LOVED the inventory in those last time and would like to see similar stuff (but different designs!) if possible.

You see High Inquisitor Brinret Ithillote the Executor of Vengeance.
She appears to be of elven descent.
He is very tall and appears to be full grown.
You whisper aloud, "I'm so confused right now."

Unfortunately I didn't get to participate the last time this happened so I dont have much feedback in regards to event specific love/hate. However, would love to see ensorcelling, rare flares/banes, and epic lightening as a potential raffle prizes.

I'd love morphing armor to return, as well as moods, banes(runestaff banes please - and because they've never been offered yet since the announcement that they are a thing, having a seperate raffle/spin for just runestaves/pures would be appreciated), enchanting, and custom verbs. Custom perfume would be nice. Custom glamour tattoos are on my permanent Ask For List until they happen.

Voln armor unlocking/adding.. I especially appreciated the method of release for Voln armors at the last FoF. Tiered offerings for both everyone and Voln members/masters. It was one of the best distribution methods that I can recall.

Thank you!

Can we please make the tournament self cast only? Have the arena strip spells on entrance and allow a spellup period. Disallow the use of magic items and scrolls as well.

Although it is surely to late for this run, and maybe it is too much work in general... but I would love to see a system like the old EG jousting event. One that factors in stats and skills as a bonus and also has a fairly robust rock/paper/Scissors and luck portions.

I found that system to be vastly more interesting than gs style pvp. Picking a move and watching the round play out was more fun than a game of see who is the most post cap or what proffered has the ability most broken against players, since they are not generally considered when coded.

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,
And the stream that falls from the hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this Took.

A bunch of us have requested it to return to EG over the years, and we were told it would have to be completely re-coded.

I'm hoping for a return of the tent with the clothes that have 2 sides, one that hangs on the rack, one that fits you a certain way. With new ones. They are awesome!

SO many shops there were amazing, as well as the merchants to alter them. I had gifts made, I bought extras to alter later, and I had so much fun, even though I really had no idea what I was doing!

I saw the first person insult a merchant badly ... and she picked up her thread and walked away. That was embarrassing to see happen and rather amazing, too. Rarely do people get out of line with merchants in GS.

Have you considered making special Arkati-specific tokens for fallen heroes? Maybe chrism holders, maybe just something worn?

Perhaps traditional favors a Lady gives the hero of her choice, too.

Did you set up wagering on the arena fights?

.... I am imagining how much nicer this will be 2 years later than the last! SQUEAL!!

Wish list:
1)Wine Press raffles x 3
2)Klyspar (or however you spell it) master quality instrument raffle x 2 (one for bards only please)
3)morphing armor/shirt script
4)fancy spectacles that let you read another language raffles x 3
5)possibly raise the level of spells that can be used in the arena to 14 (so I can use my sonic gear)
6)traps or the ability for the crowd to interfere throw debris into the arena, injuring those below. I think it might help make some battles more competitive.
7)cigars, cognac, merchants, and someone to feed me grapes between matches, I want to be pampered before I die in front of half of Elanthia.

I am always big on maker items, so wine presses and other such items are right up my alley.

That may be the case, however nothing has been posted here with dates and I'm leery of emails as those tend to be tentative and are subject to change. Until I get a confirmation from the person who is running this event, I am not going to rely on your screenshot of an email.

When it gets posted here with actual confirmed dates, I will know what I can plan.
