Hey i posted this on the warhammer online forums, and suppose ill add it on here as well, please tell me what you think, even if you say it sucks :D

http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/232/index/4453419/1#4453419
What is it about?
A complete patch made by players, the content will be: RvR tome tactic for rr60 players, and a new skill or ability for rr80 players, seeing its a tome tactic we will design quests as well and if we are really ambitious, i think we have enough creativity in the community to create our own dungeon as well, but i suppose the last is wishful thinking for sure :)
The rvr tome tactics should also add or improve the bond between the character and the lore, as you will see in the suggestions i came up with so far.
Why would we want this?
* tome tactics have absolutely no use for RvR, and lots of careers have a lore or mechanic thing to set right, i'd say we hit both things at once with the RvR tome tactic gained at RR60, this also gives a mid-rr reward next to gear.
* the way to unlocking the tome tactic will give insight in the character's class and lore, read quests suggestions below.
What do the tome tactics do?
* they will enhance the character's role in combination with improing their lore-fluff or however you wanna call it
* Personally (and im not even an RP'er) I think that whatever career we choose, we all do the same, there is nothing unique in the gameworld just for our class. I feel that it's not so good, so... At RR60 youre quest will start at the king of your race and will include class-unique quests which will lead you to the source of your class lore.
* As well as similar group quests which will take place in the final chapter's PQ's, so they will get a small revival as well
What about this user-generated patch then?
* let's say we use forums, ventrilo discussions, feedback from players, etc. To make small chunks of patch notes we can deliver complete and safe to Mythic, as you may understand these will not be huge things at a time, but for example:
* PP (player patch) 0.1: will include discussed and complete ideas for a rvr tome tactic at RR60 for every career
* PP 0.2: will include discussed and complete ideas for the quests to obtain your rr60-tome-tactic for every career
* PP 0.3: will include discussed and complete ideas for a new quest after you completed your rr60-tome-tactic stuff AND a fully mapped dungeon including ideas for bosses and their mechanics.
* PP 0.4. etc. you get the point
Why we want this?
I think we have a LOT of creativity in the community, and this is a way to offer that creativity a chance, i think all of the above PP's have been typed before, we just need to discuss them together before we can deliver them.
suggestions and examples:
I don't know everything for every class, but I will put some suggestions for the classes i do know a bit:
Shadow Warrior:
Quest: Return to the Shadow Lands, investigate some ancient ruins when the place was still called Nagarythe, scout for hidden knowledge of your ancestors
RR60: tome tactic: You are able to dual-wield swords, your offhand will deal 50% less damage then stated on the item
RR80: ability: 10 sec stealth to be able to change position on the battlefield
Slayer
Quest: Use your life to defend slayer keep
RR60: When you die, you're party members will instantly gain X Action points
Witch Hunter:
Quest: Lead a forceful inquisition through Altdorf, destroy those who are not loyal or faithful enough in the Emperor, and be the judge in their court.
Knight
RR60: You can stay on your mount while fighting, you will dismount when at 15% health.
Magus
Quest: Adapt to a second chaos God, Slaanesh
RR60: Switch your ranged Tzeentch flamer pet for a melee Daemonette of Slaanesh
These are only suggestions, for the Players Patch notes we should of course write the quests etc. :P
Well, i suppose you get the idea, let me know what you think or add other suggestions, i will add them to the original post to get a filled in form for every career, and it'll be time for a second discussion when we have at least a suggestion for every career :)
I'm wondering if there are more people up for this :) I think we can complete a patch like this with around 20 dedicated people and the forum posters to reply on our work
cheers, Zaxxo
