Create your own dungeon.

Like housing. You design a layout using a simple tool, skin it using a theme such as a castle or cave, then you populate it with enemies and bosses that you train to become tougher. Players get rewards in the form of coffers.

It would be awesome for some people who have a lot of creativity.

This is sincerely my dream. I loved making dungeons/gauntlets/mazes in minecraft and made several mods for oblivion back in the day with cool dungeons. Would love nothing more

Have you ever played Dungeon Keeper 1 or 2? You might like it (although I'm not sure if it's still running on modern systems).

Did not but I heard of it, Really the joy comes from the schadenfreude/pride of watching my players fail/pass the dungeon, along with the building too of course.

EQ2 has (or had) a system like that. It was pretty fun to play around with it and collect the various enemy types to populate your dungeon with. SWG also had a similar system, but for creating overland quests (not sure whether it extended to interiors or not).

Hello,

We went ahead and moved this thread to a category we think is more suitable for this topic, Dungeons, Trials & Arenas.

Thank you for your understanding.

MAN I love that idea!!!!

This would be crazy fun!

Create your own dungeon then maybe list it in the Group Finder for players to play it.

Maybe even list your own rewards for players when they complete it.

Example: X dungeon first 10 to complete get 1 Gold each.

There are alot of great housing people in this game so im pretty sure many of them would do some great things.

Isn't the endless archive already a cut and paste of a bunch of different stuff from all around ESO already? ZOS already implemented this idea I think.

Players would just make them super easy and farm them solo for coffers. Imagine if parsing on training dummies gave you rewards.

These kinds of sandboxes are fine for solo games. But In multiplayer games with lots of competition, both direct (PvP) and via PvE leaderboards, you don't want to give players too much of a rewarding sandbox. In a game that is seriously dependent on "network effects", you also don't want to give players too much reason to abandon the game world and stay in their own little private dungeons all day.

Maybe if they were like training dummies, with absolutely zero rewards, and just for practice?

One thing I would like to see in a somewhat similar vein is to provide a dungeon creation tool, players can submit dungeon designs to PTS, other players can peer review and critique. Finally, the best rated player PTS dungeons get sent to ZOS for final review, and then released as live game content.

So, a way to get more dungeon content added to game, and likely some very creative dungeons, but only the most balanced and well-designed dungeons. And specifically designed for the entire player base, not just self-indulgent individual content with rewards.

You wouldn’t choose rewards. And rewards would be directly linked to the difficulty. Harder enemies would equate to better rewards. Or none at all. Just for fun.
