It would be really cool if planets had a chance to spawn an especially rare or elite monster. It would also give the player an incentive to explore worlds that seem to have a boring seed instead of just skipping them. Something to surprise us! Nothing too crazy though. I mean like 1 or 2 (at most) of these per planet, IF the planet has spawned them. Maybe a rare spawn? Maybe an elite version of a common creature? Maybe even an elite version OF a rare spawn! -Rare meaning unique. Something that is not commonly encountered. This could mean 'shiny' versions of creatures. (Alternate colors) Or a new creature all together! It could also mean encountering brand new, uncommon creatures or NPCs. Rare drops, like vanity items (or pets) would be an incentive to seek out these rare spawns. -Elite meaning basically a stronger version of something common. Super penguin? Modifiers applied to the creature, giving it special powers? (Diablo 3 comes to mind) I see these having better drops as well. Probably more focused around gear and items. -Rare Elite meaning just that. A harder version of a rare spawn! Golden Super Penguin! With modifiers! Plus, REALLY great drops! Vanity items AND gear? I'd say having a 2% (or lower) chance for a planet to generate an encounter like this would be fair and would definitely spice things up every once in a while. I don't know, devs could work out the math... I see some of these encounters being soloed, but I also see some of them requiring help. Loot sharing with friends who help you bring down an especially hard elite rare monster would be a lot of fun and make for awesome memories! As a side note, this also makes me think of "World Bosses" which I may start a separate thread for if it doesn't already exist. But this idea could still apply to world bosses. A boss especially made for certain planets. They don't all have to have one, but it would be a cool thing to deal with every once and a while. World Bosses would be extremely powerful foes, but ELITE RARE World Bosses.... OMG. 5 friends now, please! What do you guys think?
Well if it fits in the starbound world if wont see a problem. But maby a little less diablo? But then again: picture yourself a Giant Shiny Pink Penguin that shoots icebeams and iceicles
Yes, definitely less Diablo. I just couldn't think of a better way to describe my point. Just did. And, wow. Nice!
I played a little of D3. Didn't like it. It got extremely repetitive after 2 60s. As soon as I heard Starbound was doing randomly generated planets and creatures, I instantly thought this would be a really cool idea to implement. In fact, I think this idea fits more in Starbound than it ever will in Diablo. I wish this had came out before Diablo so this idea wouldn't seem stolen... EDIT: And money-hungry Activision telling Blizzard how to make their game pretty much ruined the entire Diablo franchise for me. It was just not a good player experience. $60 wasted. Not going back to that franchise in the future.
Lol I guess or there could be one huge, huge, huge massive boss that attacks every set time (quite long) but each time it upgrade or is a different type.
Well. Diablo 3 is the last of the Diablo's. But they will be bringing out DLC/expansion packs later on.
