Build A Raid Contest (was forum=10)Follow

Hey Guys,

I'm not sure if anyone would be interested but I posted up a build a raid contest on reddit. Two winners will be selected, the prizes being any item you want from the cash shop and the judging panel includes, LBR, JoeNeverFails, and the guys at SequencebrEak XIV. Let's do this!

Here's the post from Reddit:

So, with so many people being let down by Alexander Savage I thought it would be a good idea to hold a contest. The contest is to see who can design the best four encounter raid tier, conceptually. You can create more than four if you want, but there must at least be four. The conditions for entry are:

-Be as detailed as possible. mechanics of the fights are a given but the more detailed you can be the better, such as HP values, AoE dimensions, even down to enemy names.

Don't forget to consider the capabilities of the players, each class, and what the classes bring to the table, whether to use them to the party's advantage, make them moot, or disadvantageous.

-You have to post your idea to the sub-reddit as a post in, at least, written form and send me a private message with a link to the post

-That's It

I wanted to give people time to brain storm before the posting starts. So, posting will start on March 1st and end March 14th. So, everyone entering has about a month and a half to come up with their ideas, write them down, and test them out as best they can. Submissions will only be counted after the First so that everyone participating has a chance to get their ideas down before posting.

We're not trying to make the perfect raid. Or even an entirely viable one, but more so the best ideas, conceptually, for a raid, as we won't be able to actually test them out. But That doesn't mean they shouldn't be as viable as possible.

Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges in the community.

-Joe Never
Twitch.tv/joeneverfails

-Limit Break Radio
Aniero, Nika, Kallo, Eskallia, and Juxsta
Twitch.Tv/limitbreakradio
Www.limitbreakradio.com


-Sequencebreak XIV (counting as 1 vote collectively)
Calaera Jef, Joshimitsu, Orophen, Cirrisian
zantetsuken.net

So that these judges won't have to read over too many submissions the first 25 submissions will be entered for judging. Think of it as a patch release deadline hehe. There will be a secondary judging that will be made for all the submissions that aren't entered into the primary judging (whose condition for winning I will keep secret because...well you can't trust the internet lol).

The winners of each judging will receive any item from the Cash shop they would like. If multiple people contributed to the entry we might have to work something out lol, but each member will be able to choose their reward (if you want an assortment of dyes you can pick up to 10.)

Now, this isn't just for the prize. There''s a secondary aspect to this contest. A list of all submissions will be complied and posted to the official forums. I imagine, and am almost certain, it will have to draw attention from the devs and they will read through any number of them. The amount of inspiration and fresh ideas that they might get from that list is almost a prize in itself.

So, that's it! Get out there and design the Best Raid you can!

P.S. (Disclaimer) If you're not happy with the conditions of the contest I'm sorry. I'm sure there are more optimal ideas on how to run this out there, and if you have any let me know, but for this contest they'll stand as they are :).
