Hey team,
Can we maybe have a brawl day? I think we are overdue, and it might be a good idea to drive engagement. |

I'm totes a fan of brawl dayz.
Though I would suggest upon character creation, instead of having uberl33t silver gear that just makes it so everyone steamrolls n00bs, you have to choose a set of gear (e.g. mal beast for evils, regal radiance for goodies, the mage ones if they want but definitely not end game shit like torments or tenor).
That way it simulates some more in game shit and people can experiment with new race class combos in a way that gives them a more realistic approach to the actual game.
With all the new race/class combos and introductions, a brawl day would be an awesome way to get people to see what's up and new and shit. |

just curious but what is to stop the players from creating a brawl day? anyone with enough motivation could get a mill and use it for prize money, kill the juggernaut and have it in the arena? |

Thanks for the suggestion Kento. Imm staff is discussing a few options for holiday splendor; we’ll include this option in the mix. You guys have been asking for a brawl day for a while!

Definitely a way to get some of us who are kind of sort of on the sidelines due to time constraints back into the fray. |

Please do search on the forum. Last time we did this was low-interest and on the unpopular side. The range was from like 'meh' to 'i hate this'. I do think we made some mistakes, such as running the event a bit too long. But I think there's life in the idea too |

I think the main issue with why the last brawl day was seen as meh was because everyone started in a suit that gave them 50/50 hit dam. So necromancers we're doing insane rend damage. Giant zerkers were going nuts and it overall was just not representative of the game mechanics at 50.
To address this, everyone should start with a default set of we based on ethos and align with enough supplies to be ready to go (like 7 purples, 4 fly scrolls, yadayada).
People could try to snag some rares. Or just go at it. but fights would last longer than a two round rng battle and people would have a more realistic sense of how certain race/class combos perform. |

Brawl day was actually the first time I ever played this mud and fell in love years ago! My first rolled character was a human druid and I ran around spamming tornado |

+1 for Erg’s idea too. Also can we add an upvote or like button or whatever to these forums? It’s kind of weird how much the game has changed and how little the forum has. |

but... we live brawl day. with surges and banners you can literally make a level 50 in less than 8 hours. That is brawl day right there. Brawl day was appealing when it was actually a challenge to get to level 50, to get through "the gauntlet" was actually arduous. but now? This will just ruin my day if I logged in to do some training or leveling on my character and it was a brawl day, I would log right back out. Maybe you guys should go and make a character and play, because Brawl day isn't going to just all of a sudden go oh yeah, I like playing AR. You will play during brawl day and than put it down again, which will do nothing for the game itself |

Clearly I suck at this game because I can't get to level 50 in 80 hours if you gave me permanent surge and banner, nevermind 8. WTF 8 hours level 50s
Hey tayyah when are you going to open that power levelling service |

I've had a toon stuck in the 30s for months because of time constraints. 8 hours is great if you have a m1co perma-group with two 50s having eaten cakes and saved up rewards piggy-backing on a surge. |

Hahaha! you just need to know who to ask... I almost hardly ever say no to some grinding... its relaxing to me. Back to the task at hand though, in all seriousness... if you guys think it would be good for the game than I'm all for it. I want anything that's good for the game, previous statement is just my opinion. |
