Troo Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 COX is super replay-able. I'm just wondering if there are additional ways we could challenge our characters or teams. Some games have challenge modes. So does this one. We can set missions to have higher difficulties and add timers, travel power usage, number of deaths, etc. They are mostly related to missions already in the game. However the game doesn't cover all the kinds of challenge modes. Troo idea #1 Infinite mode. One thing we don't have is infinite enemies. Troo idea #2 Boss mode. Same is above but with a progression of final bosses, heroes, and arch villains. Troo idea #3 Leader boards. Troo idea #4 Leader board mode. Similar to boss mode but this time, we take on copies of the characters on top of the current leader boards. What other ideas are out there? 1 "Homecoming is not perfect but it is still better than the alternative.. at least so far" - Unknown (Wise words Unknown!)

VileTerror Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 There actually were leaderboards, back in the day. The Kisoks around Paragon City had such stats as All-Time/Weekly/Daily Defeats per Enemy Group. Been a long while . . . what's the ParagonWiki have to say about the good ol' kiosks of yesterdecade: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Kiosk_(Slash_Command) ... wow. Is that really it? Maybe my Search-Fu is just weak. There's gotta be something else . . . Or not? Everything else I can find on the Wiki is just about the Gladiators and the Arena Kiosk. Did the info kiosks have a different name that I'm just not remembering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troo Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) So leader board might be possible. And we already fight player-character-copies in a popular task force.

VileTerror Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The Real Challenge lies in Bosses only providing Minion-level Experience. Let's see how many people complete THAT Task Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemystic Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I think you can run Task Forces/Trials with different challenge moderators right? Edited January 11, 2020 by Tyrannical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troo Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 yes with lots of options.

Alchemystic Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 51 minutes ago, Troo said: yes with lots of options. Then I would propose adding more options to this, maybe stuff like; - Players do not have natural regeneration (except Rest or with buffs) - Enemies are all promoted (minions to lieutenants, lieutenants to bosses, etc) - Incarnate powers are disabled. - Enemy mez magnitude is higher. - Friendly fire is enabled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troo Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) @VileTerror the three stooges picture that popped into my head: teammates suddenly whacking each other and not knowing why. @Tyrannical "Friendly fire is enabled." That would definately make AoE, cones, and PBAoE very interesting.

I think this is part of the issue right here. What incentive is there to run these hard modes if running the easier stuff is just as if not more lucrative? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if depends on whether the problem we're trying to solve is 'people want more challenging content because more challenge is fun' or 'people want more challenging content because they want better rewards and that's traditionally the only way to get rewards buffed'. 1 1 Reunion player, ex-Defiant.
