GOLDEN ELDER CRYSTAL

[keen elk]

I have heard people talking about how the mushrooms back in Legacy is missed and how clans would try to fight for said locations of those mushrooms. Well some of us have been talking and someone came up with a kinda cool concept, a golden elder crystal. There will only be ONE golden crystal on the map and have it be in the open somewhere, like Ravine or something where the chance of running away from any fight is much harder. The Cooldown be like an hour or two, like back in Legacy, you can get it at any time of night or day, any prog, any element, and it'll give you 5-10% towards elder. The dragon that yelled at the crystal first is the only one that will get the tick when the crystal explodes, even if in a group with multiple dragons. Bringing back the feel of only one person can get the mushroom in Legacy.

JUST TO CLARIFY, THE CURRENT CRYSTALS WILL REMAIN THE SAME. IT WILL JUST BE 1 GOLDEN CRYSTAL ON THE MAP WHICH WILL DO WHAT IS STATED ABOVE

The main idea of the new elder system is that you shouldn't be able to camp it. With this suggested elder system it would be extremely campable and be even less solo/clanless friendly

[cold plinth]

He is literally talking about one crystal, it wouldn’t destroy the entire system to have some more important eldering objectives on the map. We need something that’s gonna motivate clans to fight for and in general create more pvp opportunities when it comes to eldering. There should be more fights going on over eldering in general

[bright cloak]

You should read the suggestion again... it clearly says "There will only be ONE crystal on the map" so yes it would destroy the system

There is not enough pvp contest.
And it wouldnt destroy the whole system with 32-34 crystals around the entire map. LOL?

Most contest is running and rarely turf wars. PvP is boring.
-editing because this timer is REALLY bad

I hate this timer.
You DO know EVERY PLACE with a geode is a territory or DANGEROUSLY close to a territory and scouted very often. Right?
Have you played pvp before?

[bright cloak]

No because to check crystals you have to go across the whole map. Leading to you entering territories which lead to pvp and the risk of flying around too

[bright cloak]

I'm a pvp player. I actively play pvp. It is really easy to check all crystals with an optimized route. I have made an optimized route that i always follow that allows me to check all crystals within 15 min

[shell mantle]

Takes 2-5 seconds to take a crystal.
And the more contest the BETTER because right now even on bloodmoon theres 0 contest and no fighting when there should be.
Even on Molten.
Having a crystal that starts fights is a Great idea because it isnt really PvP.

[bright cloak]

It does NOT take 2-5 seconds to take a crystal. You have to 1 call it 10 times for it to pop!

[shell mantle]

If you bite and spam 1 call yes it does.
Adding a golden elder crystal increases pvp contact and 1v1’s versus swarms.

The current crystals will still be there, im talking about ONE GOLDEN CRYSTAL on the map...ill edit the post but yes the current crystal eldering process will still be there but adding an additional crystal

[bright cloak]

In that case. Yes this suggestion would be a great addition. Thank you for clarifying bestie :D

[calm python]

Easy middle ground option. Primarily keeping all the idea the same, only there are lets say 100 new locations on the map this one crystal may appear (no others), making it much harder to camp, but all the more satisfying to find, while keeping the pvp element of flying routes to look for it.

[bright cloak]

all the current crystals will still be there. This will just be adding an additional crystal that does whats said in the suggestion.
