Weekly/Biweekly Community Challenge Idea
Hey Guys! Was thinking of an idea to sorta keep the community engaged while we wait for the next major update, a sort of challenge that we could compete for rewards!
Specifically I was thinking of:
doing a "bingo board" challenge; start a new character, complete a specified amount tasks (that will change each week) as fast as you can, showcase the different tasks on every friday night lets say, and give people the weekend to try to get their fastest times. At the end the winner(s) will be the ones with the fastest times
- This allows ANYONE to do the challenge, since your using a new character, veteran players would have less of an advantage and gives newer players a chance (the only hiccup is that BANK STORAGE would need to be inhibited somehow)
- The tasks themselves should be relatively short, just so people dont have to do 1 hr speedruns, such as gather 5 lavendula, take out the first dungeon, kill 5 slimes, etc. This also allows moderating the challenge easier, since we wouldn't have to verify LONG speedruns.
- Also since the tasks change each week, keeps the challenge fresh
- the reward for the winner(s) could be one of the harder to attain gliders, such as the original paramglider
A "meme" challenge, one example could be "The Scenery of Ramburg" where the best screenshot wins and it has to be Ramburg themed, since its subjective we could get either the community or the moderators on the discord server/subreddit to judge the "best" one.
- again the reward can be another in game item of sorts
These challenges could be run synchronously too, gives people more options on what they WANT to do. The challenge itself also doesn't need any dev involvement, just community moderation, so setting it up would be a lot easier.
Wondering what yall think? Any other challenge ideas? Frequency of the challenge? Different rewards that could be given?
