There's not much really you can do for Easter really IMO. I can't imagine egg painting would be doable on a Graal server, unless it was using predefined images which really limits your ability to make a nice unique egg. If the competition was external, the good graphic artists of the server are always going to win it so there's really no point.

Make the easter bunny into a villain, where he stole something valuable and people have to go hunt him down and get it back.

Maybe a predefined egg outline, but have the ability to use pictionary type tools to paint the egg. Maybe give the players the ability to show off their eggs, via some sort of card (like bowling?).

Eh, I think that would probably be pretty laggy. UN has a "draw it" event, and when the pictures of several different people are on display it takes a while for the level to load when you're added to it. I could be wrong though.

Eh, I wouldn't know, it would be nice to have a variety of Easter events though.

Just found out from Dusty that it could possibly be done, pretty cool.

Using a Tdrawingpanel as a drawing canvas it's highly possible that you could create an egg decorating event using different ways to draw on it. Tdrawingpanel is serverside now, so you'll be able to save a PNG of the panel to the server and then display the image. I haven't messed with it though.

Ya my thoughts exactly, 218 eggs and still going.

Shadow87 04-09-2009 06:02 PM

Wow you and her should team up rufus!

MysticX2X 04-10-2009 05:07 PM

3-4 days after this egg hunt starts, the hype is lost because there is only 3-4 people competing.

You said the same thing on the first day.

MysticX2X 04-10-2009 05:35 PM

No, I actually said this.

But ya my point was the same, just explained differently since on day 2 it quickly changed.

It was never exciting to begin with. They should just have Rabies infested rabbits running around so we can slaughter them and the player who slaughters the most rabbits wins. Now thats excitement.

Bell 04-10-2009 09:56 PM

To each his own.

fragman85 04-11-2009 11:21 AM

I think it's kinda (excuse me, but this has to come) ****ed up how people don't appreciate the Dev's work and just don't play the Events.

BlackSolider 04-11-2009 03:57 PM

Agreed.

Shadow87 04-11-2009 05:45 PM

They could have just kept it the same. Sorry but im not going to wait around on graal for eggs to appear. Nuh Uh.

So just because you build it we should be flocking to play it? Thats not how it works, bub.

With this kind of logic I guess we should also appreciate the state Classic is in. Fail logic is fail.

fragman85 04-12-2009 11:36 AM

Don't understand me wrong, I didn't even build that.

But you guys keep asking for events and stuff like that and then you just don't play them, because you don't like them?

Well, what do you like?

Remonq 04-12-2009 12:26 PM

cheese

Shadow87 04-12-2009 04:14 PM

with crackers.

But seriously, yes we like events, as players we like EXCITING, FUN, CHALLENGING, events. Sorry but we are all basically adults now and like I said, I'm not one for chasing around a couple of bunnies at a time then waiting for them to re appear just so that i could try to win a card....

I much rather slaughter the rabbits and have them infest every public area on graal. Woo Hoo rabbit slaughter!

But I don't recall people complaining for events, i recall them complaining for everything else. I want quests back, that would make me happy, id keep my mouth shut for good then :)

BlackSolider 04-12-2009 04:32 PM

Collecting eggs....or killing bunnies....hmmmm.

Shadow87 04-12-2009 04:59 PM

KILL KILL KILL

Murder Murder Kill Kill!

EclipsedAngel 04-12-2009 11:33 PM

Happy Easter.

You don't understand the complaints then.

We would like a fair event. Not one that is heavily in favor of those who log on when nobody is online. How can an event be enjoyable when it is best played with nobody on the server?

Events done wrong are worse than no events at all. Would you rather the players kept quiet about how you can improve their happiness and enjoyment during events? From a Dev standpoint you won't get far with that kind of ideal.

Nightmareangel 04-14-2009 06:38 AM

Well despite the dispute over the egg hunt... it is over and a winner has been crowned. Dae wins this year's Easter egg hunt with a whopping 380 eggs collected.

For doing so Dae recieves the newly coveted egg trophy.

As well as the oh so rare Easter card.

Congrats to him.

I've also decided to give the trophy to egg hunt winners from the past few years as well. However, Dae is currently the only one with the card thus it's one of a kind.

Luda 04-14-2009 09:00 AM

You are a one of a kind Dae.

xnervNATx 04-14-2009 03:08 PM

wow that card is so lame LOL

Shadow87 04-14-2009 04:21 PM

300 + eggs lame

Gotenks_Gore 04-14-2009 05:14 PM

seriously dae get a life

Rufus 04-14-2009 05:19 PM

Congratulations, TheDae.

Remonq 04-15-2009 05:08 PM

i saw dae asking his guild (ventrue) to "if you see any eggs don't pick them up but tell me where they are". he also shamelessly jacked eggs from noobs right in front of their eyes

*shakes head*

Shadow87 04-15-2009 05:09 PM

oh disgrace, silly vampire you.

xnervNATx 04-15-2009 09:32 PM

i saw thedae lurk on classic during night time
