[Suggestion] World Events

from Elemental Forums

World Events would be a nice addition to the game.  Things like local crop failures, droughts, and positive stuff as well.  Larger global events would be a nice touch as well, but at the moment I can't think of any that would work.

This kind of option could be selected at the game creation screen where you could choose no event, minor events, and major events kind of like what is available for monsters and shards currently.

(Disclaimer) I'm not a programmer so I have no idea how hard this kind of thing would be to implement.

I was looking at these as well.  They seem to be not triggering for some reason.  I have tried making my own without success at the moment.

Quoting StevenAus, reply 25
There need to be some relatively common events, that effect single cities, and more rare, but still relatively more common than current world events, world events.  I think there is either a bug with World Events or that they are just too rare still.  I don't know of anyone who has played the beta who has reported getting a single World Event, and how many beta testers are there now?  How many thousands?  I think that tells us that the World Events are *just a little* too rare at the moment.

Indeed, i think 1 per 4 hour session is a good ratio. As opposed to 1 per never xD

But one per never is so rare that when it happens, you might possibly shit your pants! Which is an event everyone will remember...

One per never is a bug.
