Bomberman

A Bomberman Arena quite packed with players! This famously addicting event is a fast paced and fun event that can support up to 8 players at a time with 7 different Arena types that range from 7x7 to 25x25 in size!

Description

Bomberman is an event modeled after the real Bomberman game. Players are sent into a customizable arena and are given a special Bomb Bag that can be used to blow up walls to collect Powerups and reach (and eliminate!) the other players. This event is always available and the Bomberman Arena can host multiple Bomberman games at one time. Each game can have up 8 players with with 7 different Bomberman Arena Types that can range from 7x7 to 25x25 tiles. It should be noted that while player pets are allowed in the Bomberman Arena, you cannot have any current Pet Slots in use if you wish to join or start a game. This includes Ethereal mounts, pets sitting in a home, or Hirelings/Summons.

How to Play

The objective is to blow up walls and players with bombs. When the game begins all players are given a Bomb Bag in their backpack and teleported to one of the even distributed points on the edge of the arena. When a player uses the Bomb Bag, a bomb is placed at their feet which will detonate after a short period of time. The explosion hits all adjacent tiles, if a player or a destroyable wall is on this these tiles, they are destroyed! Destroyed walls have a chance to leave behind Powerups, while destroyed players are kicked out of the game. The players need to blast their way through the destroyable walls in order to reach other players, but be careful as the bombs will blow you up if you get in the blast zone. The game ends when there is zero to one players left, make sure that if you want to win and not create a tie, that you blow up the other person without leaving yourself in the blast zone as well!

Joining the Game

To join a game you need to look for an Active Bomberman Stone:

Double clicking this stone will produce a menu to join the game with the green button or cancel with the red button. While you are choosing an option you will have a debuf of paralyzed until you make the decision.:

Once you have accept to join the game you will see the message that lets you know you are waiting for other players to join, and you can click the red button anytime to exit the queue:

The Bomberman stone will also produce a message that you have joined the game, and if the Bomberman Arena Style has not been confirmed it will announce that as well:

Bomb Bag

The Bomberman Event Bomb Bag which is used to place bombs on the Bomberman Arena.

Bomb Bags are placed into a players inventory when they are teleported into the Bomberman Arena. These bags cannot be moved, it is suggested to create a macro in order to use the bag. There are two options for the macro, you can use a "last target" and at the beginning of the match make sure you manually double click the bag for the first time you use it. The Second option is to set up a macro that uses a "bag" type of item and make sure that you do not have any other "bag" types of item in your backpack. Traditionally players bind these macros to the "spacebar", however you this is entirely optional feel free to manually double click your bomb bag!

The Bomb Bag can be used multiple times and it starts with 2 bombs in your bag. Once these 2 bombs have been placed you must wait until a bomb has detonated before you can place another bomb. Bombs placed near other bombs(including your own) will trigger detitanations on other bombs within the blast zone. This can lead to very wide and long explosions, as well as quickly return bombs back to your bag so you may lay more bombs down. There are Powerups that can effect the number of bombs you can lay down, the penetration of the walls, and how wide your bombs will explode before hitting any wall.

Rules

While most of the rules are handled within the game itself, the following rules should be kept in mind:

• Elect someone to handle using the Bomberman Game Controller Stone, and if you are not that person, please do not hold the stone as it will stop others from joining.
• You will need to unmounted, and have no current Animal Control Slots in use in order to start or use the Bomberman Game Controller Stone which is required to start or join a game. If you have any Pets, Mounts, Summons, or NPC hirelings/escorts you will need to stable or abandon them in order to play.
• If the current Bomberman Game is full, you are welcome to hang around and watch or wait for your turn at the next match, but keep in mind there are other Bomberman Games Controllers that operate another Bombergame nearby!
• You should create a macro to use the Bomb Bag, however if you already have a "use last item" macro or hotkey created, that should be good enough!
• Do not use food, Red Potions, or anything else to recover stamina during the event.
• Do not use buffs, or anything else that would give you an advantage during the game.
• Do not use magic or items to place objects onto the field that may obstruct player movement.
• Do not attempt to exit the event through spells, or other whacky ways to leave. You do not actually "die" when you blow up from Bomb Bags, so there is no fear of losing items or risking stat loss during play.
