International legal and export issues make giving away stuff for contests internationally impossibly messy . Sucks really.
I made a few submissions. Mostly involving drinking and fart jokes. At the very least someone's going to get a chuckle out of it. Mostly me.
I have several rough ideas lined up that I'll be fleshing out the lore backstories on this afternoon so I can pop 'em off to BioWare before bed.
I'm hoping some of the gameplay mechanics I mashed together are interesting and fun - admittedly, a lot of my ideas came from the lore I could create to justify their existence, but I think some of the stat and passive combos are intriguing. That, or I just created math hell Eldritch Abominations for the sake of backstory, which would be completely in character for the strengths and weaknesses of how my mind works. ![]()
One single amulet? Here's my concept art for one

Adds +1 grenade btw

Oh, they are actually adding new item affixes. Nifty. Makes the contest a little silly IMO since they already coded the powers make it into the game, but w/e.
Good luck, everyone. If you happen to win, I'll try to get your item granted to you in MP (assuming it doesn't have focus gain on it
)
and if you're reading between the lines in the passives on that list you can speculate on stuff I've been working on since I made all of those

So, what you're saying is that all I need to do is craft an award-winning idea that also contains 10% HoK and I'll finally get an equivalent to that Superb Ring of Life-Drain that continues to elude me? ![]()
But in all seriousness, I was actually really stoked to see this contest. I can't draw, paint, or craft cosplay stuff, so finally seeing a contest that was nothing but "use your imagination - within these parameters - and make words" made me very happy.
As it is, I'm finishing up the backstories right now and will be submitting before the day's done: 10 items in total plus 1 joke item that I certainly hope some of the MP team reads because it will probably make y'all laugh. 4 amulets, 3 rings, and 4 belts in total. Am actually really happy with several of them, so here's hoping there's a winner in that bunch. And, honestly, even if there isn't, I still hope some of my ideas might get used since there's a few pretty fun mixes in there. Most of the items I made, I crafted with both SP and MP in mind, save for any that add grenades/potions/tonics, obviously.
Also, I'm a big believer that THIS should just be a passive on everything going forward: On Hit: Chance that Elemental Mines spawn around your target.
But that's probably just my inner Luka talking. ![]()
US only? Eeeeeh.
Yeah we don't want any Briuts. They will be trying to use a bunch of U's in the crafting material justs to do it and for no other reason than that.
U
Silvurite
Draukestone
U
Imperul Vestmunt Cottun
U
U
Beaur Huide

None of that.
If I have multiple items, do I need to send multiple emails, or just one email including all items?

I asked the BioWare Twitter that same question (as did a friend of mine) and never received an answer. So, my guess is that it might not matter either way?
Personally, I'm going to send my entries one at a time, just to try and be safe about it.
US only? Eeeeeh.
Ok i'm done with Bioware games!

Can I have stuffs?
I also think this is probably one of the greatest stat descriptions I've ever seen: Enhanced Basic Attacks: You now whirlwind. Like, all the time. That is all.
I also found a way to use that. ![]()
If that "Enter Stealth when not attacking" passive is as good as it sounds, then it should make the grind to getting "I Was Never Here" a lot easier at lower levels for both the Assassin and Alchemist.

I suddenly regret making very trolly item submissions that're more likely to get me killed than benefit me.
You can have some of my 'Q's. I have plenty.
There's not enough Q's in the world!

Hahaha....oh you were serious

Why did I agree to come here?

(sorry for the strong language in advance)
So.... could mines spawn from getting hit by mines? That's some pretty big inception we have here.
Gosh, imagine power cord spawning 'em skittles, or caltrops!
Hum...
Wait.....
wait.... I think i got one more idea......
IMAGINE skittles from TOXIC CLOUD, yeah, Toxic Could! Not only would you be farting, you'd also be popping some poop...... Just amazing
(gotta hope it doesn't smell though)
