A Traveling Faire

What would you think about a traveling Faire, that would start weekly real time days, and would visit each node village and higher. This faire would include a jousting event and sword fighting 1 on 1 bracket fighting. This faire would be open for all citizens of the node winners would win a prize from the mayor and at the end of the year the king would hold a grand tournament for all node winners to compete for a prize from the king.

Jousting could be good for the economy to sell horses and armor , and jousting weapons.

Would like to hear your thoughts , thanks for reading.

Two types of fairs.

The first is for villages that don’t have a market. Only towns or cities had authorized markets. The fair would be held periodically to provide access to goods from local towns or cities. So for an economic node especially, this could make a lot of sense. However, if villages already have a market, then they aren’t using the traditional medieval roles of markets. But if this would be done then it would combine with caravans to move those goods to and from the villages in the nodes influenced by the towns, cities and metropolis.

The second traditional role was the royal procession where the Lord would visit each settlement to rule, judge, collect taxes (often in the form of goods). Also known as holding court. Each stop would be an event with each settlement competing to provide the best experience they could afford to provide. Trade would be one means to offset those costs. So for this application you could involve the cities and towns under the influence of the metropolis. Each would attempt to win some influence or boon from the Lord. And again, caravans could be used.

Sounds amazing, good idea.

Ya the Final Event could be held in a Metropolis, with the King present and be a grand event, lot's of possibilities, also having all the winners from each node present, maybe they could Erect a Statue of the winner from the node they're from.

I really love the idea of a player having a Physical reward such as a Statue for winning, in a game where only select people get a chance at flying mount's this would give the wwhole population a chance for fame and to have their own piece of history carved out.

Yup, I think the OP is onto something here, hope the Devs are at least bringing this up as a future consideration.

Fully supported, and i could almost guarantee many RP guilds would love to cooperate and create RP events. Really like this.

This would be awesome later on in the game. Probably too much to think about right now in alpha 1 but a pretty sweet way to reinvigorate the community a few months after release.

All in due time indeed @Arukoru

Depends how it is implemented. I don't like how a lot of the mini games in the Darkmoon Faire in WoW are designed. If they made mini games with a real UI to them and made them feel special then I'd like to see it.

I don't really think of it as a mini game, more so another way for a player to gain reputation for his name, reputation in this game will be important in my eyes. Something where it last the whole cycle and the winner of the season would be known acorss the lands, perhaps a statue would be erected in his home Node. Endless options.

I found this post again, people in @chibibree stream at the The Golden Feather were talking about tonight, so a idea for a DLC down the road, what do the newer members think. This could be kind of a esport in a way for those looking for 1. I don't think this is a great game for a traditional Esport.

Nerror

I still like the idea. But not as an esport

But definitely as an event with the jousting and what-not.

I like it a lot

This remembers me the Havoc Expansion we have in EVE, it's a pvp event that lasts for about a week and spawns randomly in certain areas. The Havoc expansion is the most successful expansion in 20 years

Since this thread has been resurrected, and to expand on the original idea of jousting/swordplay and give every archetype an event:

Fighter - Fencing.
Rogue - Treasure Hunt - speed of completion or value in a time limit. With traps!
Ranger - Archery competition - stationary and mobile!
Bard - Song/Poetry competition. It was in the Olympics yanno.
Summoner - 2 Summoned creatures battle it out.
Mage - 1 vs 1 Elemental battle, no mana regen.
Tank - Survival time vs group of NPCs?
Cleric - 1 vs 1 no mana regen.

Also stuff for professions - Woodchopping, cakebaking, biggest pumpkin, Tulnar Dunking etc etc

You get the gist - something for everyone. And I'm sure the above can be improved on.

This fair could generate so many ideas that it enlarge the game's scope significantly. Everyone loves the concept and would contribute with loads of ideas, even the devswould undoubtedly dive into this

For the time being, a gypsy caravan with specialized NPC vendors would suffice
