Upcoming December Holiday Run 11/29/2013 10:34 AM CST
Hey everyone, back by popular demand, we're going to be doing a ten batch DMC tournament. It will have 100 tickets, with 10 finalists competing for our grand prize. We are planning for tickets to go on sale next Friday, 12/6, at roughly 9pm EST. Premium subscriber will have first shot at the tickets. Tickets will be on sale for both Prime and Platinum. The actual tournament will be December 20th to 22nd. We'll have a complete prize list coming before tickets go on sale to help you make your decision. The grand prize package is definitely something a little more unique than what we've offered in previous runs.

Everyone at work is now wondering what is wrong with me, as I cheered aloud. I finally had to admit to my secret sick addiction that is GSIV.

Hey Wyrom.... is there a plan to us PC blockers or creatures again this year? (Please say creatures!)

>>ethereal string & duping quiver please!!!

We're going to be doing a similar prize structure like the 2012 run last year. The string and quiver were part of the huge tournament we had.

>>Hey Wyrom.... is there a plan to us PC blockers or creatures again this year? (Please say creatures!)

We're PROBABLY going to stick to creatures, but possibly a few different ones from the norm. We'll see though.

You glance down to see a fel-hafted golvern waraxe in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

No player blockers? Booo!!! That's the best part of the whole event! At least it's not an absolute "no" to player blockers.

It used to be fun, but definitely not the best part of the whole event.

>>expertly crit weighted

Why settle for Expertly? There are a handful of masterfully weighted weapons in the bin too.

Though I suppose we could knock some of them down to Expertly, if that's what you really want.

You rub your fulgurite pendant.

Tiny slivers of lightning shoot through the fulgurite tube of the pendant, building in intensity until they erupt from the top in a brilliant, galvanic display!
You hurl a powerful lightning bolt at a rolton!
AS: +85 vs DS: +5 with AvD: +50 + d100 roll: +52 = +182

Stunning arc of electricity fuses left leg at knee.
The rolton collapses to the ground, emits a final bleat, and dies.

Great teases so far Tamuz, grats on the nice work by you and whoever else makes these items.

I'm okay with neck worn items, but I'll one up the forehead gem idea for more pizzazz. Something like a faceted thunderstone eyeball/glass eyeball with a lightning bolt pupil/etc. etc. With a wear/remove about popping it into your eye socket and ripping it out that happens to add a feature line in a players description while worn.

;p (I'm only half kidding, I think that would actually be pretty neat and character defining.)

Thanks for sharing! Hadn't heard anything in this thread regarding when we would see it other than before the tickets went on sale. I was getting scared it would be posted about 8:55pm EST on Friday. (don't get any ideas Wyrom -.- )

I'm one who likes to be eccentric with Player defining items to staffs dismay. As cool as it would be I'm sure it takes 2-3 times longer to code it that way, why I was sorta kidding sorta not. The little extras help us be who we are even if it is a pain sometimes to code it in.

It may have been asked and answered on the Platinum boards... actually I think it was now that I think about it. Just thought I'd share for all those in anticipation of the holiday DMC run goodies.

Alright I'm about to loose service till Monday unless I go for a seriously long hike, ruffing it and all out in the wilderness for a week. Enjoy all and I hope DMC is as much fun as in the past! (I doubt any tickets will be about when I get back)

It certainly is something to file away for a future item, but a new run of DMC doesn't exactly give us the time frame to code up new scripts like that.
