Idea - Hardmode Scrolls at Dungeon Start?

Avran_Sylt

Activating these would do any or all of the following:

Buff enemy numbers/stats
Add in new dungeon Mechanics

Would allow the devs to create an additional tier that is a subclass of the current dungeon level to sate those players who desire an even more challenging experience.

Though, how it would effect the drops in the dungeon to make it more enticing would need to be decided

with the current design, you'd have to run all the way to beginning to read it.

Or you read it when you start the dungeon to increase the difficulty of every part of the dungeon, not just the final boss. That's what I was going for.

That would be great when you join with a random group and someone less experienced just presses everything and instead of wiping once and then no reading the scroll you have to start over with the group finder.

Interesting idea, probably won't work as it is right now. I think hard mode should just be something you select in the group finder like veteran mode if you want it to be the whole dungeon.

Good point on that. Could have it where it pops a accept check (similar to when accepting dungeon quests) and will only pass if everyone agrees.

That would be good to have in general for the scrolls.. but not sure how much work it would take to implement that.

This is actually great idea and sounds like a lot of fun for better groups.

As long as it's an optional thing and not something required for getting better gear I'm all for the idea. Normal, Veteran, Elite whatever.
