Quest/Guilds for Citadel - Coder Brainstorming

1. Quest/Guilds for Citadel - Coder Brainstorming

   #1

   Got to get it out of my mind so I don't just jump into it.
   
   
   Been wanting to switch to a User ability and Admin created quest type thing that puts in my dream for the Guild Quests too.
   
   
   Here is the vision:
   Ability to have Citadel and User defined quests that can be time tracked or by certain achievements (posts, comments etc).
   
   
   Quest Categories for each of the guilds and possibly other user/admin defined main categories with difficulty levels.
   There will be Citadel Sanctioned Quests but it will also open it up to User Defined Quests.
   Challenges can either be time phased like they currently are or Achievement Focused (5 Items in 5 Days, 10 NPCs, combos like that)
   Time challenges are automatic for people to be involved in, Achievement Focused will be opt in. You have to join the quest.
   Achievement Quests will track those that are in it and dump them if they don't meet the criteria.
   
   
   The quest description can take almost the look of a submission depending on the instructions for it. Thinking of allowing comments on the quests itself since some will be long running and they can be used as discussing  the challenge or checking up with each other or something. Haven't decided on that, but a thought.
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   QUEST TABLE
   
   
   
   quest_id                        primary ID
   
   quest_name
   
   quest_summary
   
   quest_description
   
   quest_status                 running or over
   
   quest_official                 user or citadel quest
   
   quest_author_starter   who inputted it
   
   quest_type                    category / guild
   
   quest_difficulty              not sure but depending on what it is rate it for how hard to complete
   
   quest_XP                       What do they get for accomplishing it
   
   quest_start                  
   
   quest_end
   
   quest_timeframe           If it is a 7 day quest, to start tracking that
   
   quest_first                     legacy for current quest to keep winners
   
   quest_second                second place hard coded
   
   quest_graphic
   
   
   
   
   
   QUEST CAT TABLE
   
   quest_category
   
   quest_id
   
   
   
   
   
   QUEST WHO JOINED TABLE
   
   quest_author_id
   
   quest_id
   
   quest_join_date
   
   quest_completed_date

   
   
   
   Just trying to think what else I will need.
   
   
   Will be a page to browse and sort quests.
   Viewing quests will show all those that have joined that quest.
   After I redo the Author pages it will be more obvious how to incorporate it there. Will show active quests they joined and the status of them.
   
   
   Got what I wanted out, will get something constructive done now.

   Nifty ideas.  Would love to see user-defined quests in the future.
