Dungeoneering Instances

Dungeoneering would be renamed "Exploration" purely to allow for a larger variety of instances -a lick of paint is about the only thing we can give the various instances to disguise the fact they are essentially the same minigame, dungeons generally only come in one style. Confuse

I'm currently designing an Atlantis based instance - basically a mish-mash of Greek mythology. It's all circles and cranks, rather than a key-maze.

What are your guys ideas? Grin

Well, I say designed. I'm trying to build a simple flash animation where you've got to get from the spawn room to the boss. Permitted you can see the whole map from the offset (which wouldn't be the case in-game: each room would be fogged until you enter it) and there is nothing preventing you from completing it backwards (I'm not that good at actionscript). But the basic concept is there... Grin

I don't see why not... Exploring one mahjarrat's tracks through the dungeon of the dragonkin doesn't really seem like it should be a skill in and of itself. As an adventurer, what is the purpose in honing your skills for this single instance? How could this possibly help you in your quests to serve people who have never heard of the Dragonkin or the Mahjarrat?

Wouldn't it make sense for the skill to be your ability to explore and progress through dungeons? Wouldn't a new, atlantis-like location or a new cave system be a good location for new quests and events that are only accessable to those with the ability to explore them? This single-instance scenario is the biggest inhibitor to dungeoneering as a skill and it simply doesn't make sense to me.

I wouldn't have minded so much if Jagex had said "And there's another one in the works! But since Dungeoneering is such a team-based skill, having the player-based divided over multiple locations wouldn't have made sense anyway." but instead they said (and I'm paraphrasing, btw), "We have no plans to make additional dungeons, but that's by no means saying we won't add them."

My skills in Flash have also hindered my work. I've managed to create a 4x4 grid and I've programmed 2 of the different control options... but the 3rd and 4th are-- difficult. Tongue

Okay, I give up on making the Flash. You guys can just imagine how I imagined it to work. Tongue

Of course - it's a lot harder if you can't see where you're going to. Tongue

The Smuggler character would follow you, since it could be difficult to return to base.

The Smuggler can teleport you to, and there is means to teleport you back, to the spawn room - so you can use the tools. The Smuggler will only enter clear rooms - so he won't follow you into battle. This makes the telestone thingy still useful for bosses such as the Bohemouth. Smile

The spinning puzzle thing looks intriguing...

So basically, dungeons with different styles, similar to the temples in the Zelda video game series, and changing the name to Exploration. I'm all for it, you've already seen Irafurno, but that would take a lot of coding and concept stuff, especially if some of the new intances have their own set of items.

Oh yeah, I was designing Atlantis as well... wasn't I? Cheeky

I start too many things that I never finish. Depressed
