For the fun ( it can actually be serious and implemented ) : Introduce a Queen mother rhoa

Hello,


Everyone remember How imbuing an item in Diablo 2 was so exciting ? So i was thinking about this sweet idea of having a mother queen Rhoa who would do something as exciting as the first time you hear about imbuing an item ( we have alch but we want more ))

The idea is :


Offer a feather to the queen + 1 item

Result : 1/2 chance to get a unique version of the item.

Rules :

- item level required unique = 2-20 : Only 1 feather needed.
- 20-30 = 3 feathers
- 30-40 = 5 feathers
- 40-50 = 7 feathers
- 50-60 = 10 feathers
- 60-70 = 20 feathers.


If the "imbuing poe version" fails = The Mother Rhoa will have to give you back half your feathers.

I like your style.
Can I slay the Queen/Mother Rhoa if I so choose, or is this strictly an NPC-type interaction?

Other Rule Ideas:
-Items offered to the Queen/Mother Rhoa must be normal/white items.
-1/2 chance to get a unique version could be too high for item types with few unique versions.

Well, first rule okay.

Second : Spending 20 feathers on a chain belt to get an Auxium is trully hurtful i guess.

Most important : So you can make peace with the rhoa or try to fight it.. this reminds me of the king cow or whatever was its name ( cow level ): a fight against a rhoa queen mother should be in her place surrounded by 90+ normal rhoas that would charge on you the second you try to slay it.


She would have 10000 iir and can be fought only 3 times ? Once per difficulty. If you die in HC you die and if you die in NON HC you can't fight her ( you can't enter their territory again)

What do you think ?

I think what BMBI is trying to say sarcastically, and which I'll say deadpan, is that Wraeclast is to be a dark and gritty world, not one where you strike bargains with Rhoa Queens.

Proper response to a Rhoa Queen? Kill her. Preferrably with Extra Gore.

If you want to add a cool little loot-finding thing to the game that properly fits its tone, how about making more of the corpses in Lunaris 3 lootable. Maybe even allow the player to climb into or on top of some of those wagons. Like dumpster diving, but with Holocaust victims instead of trash.

Yes, make it brutal. Magic and Rare Rhoas should be able to spawn as well.

Ok I suggest this : King Rhoa instead if mother queen rhoa.

I think a Queen would make more sense. Those 90+ Rhoas surrounding her, they are her offspring.

@Perfect_Black

Well yeah i am thinking of having only One choice.

Then : We have Three encounters, everytime you can either fight or try your rhoa chance. Warning : The King Rhoa = DEMON BEAST.


@Scrotie/BErm



Well first of all, i already supposed that it may not fit the theme/world of PoE.. Then i remembered :

- all the troll Chris was making with his feathers aha
- cows in D2.

Yeah Wraeclast is not the kind of world where you would find a hour to rest a little, but come on : CHILL OUT!

After a few quests and a few events you should get out of this immersive story and see something different ( in game ), did you ever play an RPG ?

Let's take Final Fanstasy 13 as an example, this game gave so little rest to the player with 30H linear and straight path before the release to a great land where you had some free time to do some stuff. That it was a bad game. Compare it to other final fantasy games or RPGs where you have for each % of game played a moment and a place to relax/ do different things than the usual things that fit the theme of the game

What i am trying to say is : Doing some things that are outside of the box of the theme of the game can be good IF it allows you to come back to the game later with a biggest immersion. ( IMO ? I don't know if you share this Opinion)

Is a 50% chance to get a high end unique considered relaxing?

I think the poor roars will loose all their feathers from all the farming.
