HUNTING GAME!!! :)

Hi, I would like to suggest an idea that i believe would be really cool and entertaining. It's actually taken from a completely unrelated offline game. Basically it would consist on hunting side game.

-First thing for basic prey to spawn should be reaching a certain point in game (could be after defeating dominus in merciless) ,a prey should never spawn on an instance where at least 1 player has not met the requirements , and if a player were to enter an instace with a prey s/he should not yet meet (in a party for example) , it wouldn't count as a kill even if defeated.

- Preys would be special monsters that only spawn under certain circunstances. There would be many (the more the better) preys , which would have a wide range of spawning requirements.
Some examples (among many more possibilities) : very low chance of spawning (like albino rhoa), specific number of players, specific unique item equipped, specific number of unique items equipped, specific number of area entries in a row, classes of players , having already defeated other preys , not attacking a certain prey for X period of time , waiting still for X period of time...and a big wide etc of weird requirements). There should be from very basic and easy to spawn, through rare or tricky ones, to a few "legendary" creatures which are likely to take a long time and effort, and are as well probably the most powerful ones.

- Preys should have considerable to massive ammounts of life...this would NOT NECESSARILY mean they should be strong in offensive (although some should of course be a real challenge).
They could as well have unique modifiers such as : "will dissapear X time after hit".

- As for actual benefit , I leave that for other's ideas. Could be either from drop rates, x/y hunting prizes, rewards for each hunted prey, or whatever should be decided more fitting. Personally , should this idea have any chance of ever coming true, I'm more interested in the game's entertaining system than whatever rewards it would give.

- Hunting all preys should of course be an achievement , and a specially difficult one :P (love achievements XD)

That's all i can think for now, I hope people actually bother to read all of this and if you like the idea please post to keep the thread up. Thanks.

I believe my descritpion is enough to see they are different things...

There is of course a similarity but the Hunting Game would have much more complex, challenging and entertaning mechanics. Rougue Exiles are just random spawns that mean little as a whole and to each other. They don't take part of a side quest or mini-game, and as much may be part of an achievement in the future. They aren't something you "look for" , and have no such weird spawn requirements. They are few , and not the big X/Y preys killed system that promotes you to search, try , and advance on a whole 1 by 1 quest to complete. Rougues exiles, which in my opinion are a good thing for the game, fills that nice place of -random rare spawns with potential good drops-, but that's all.

No... i think you misunderstood. I meant that Rogue Exiles should be the prey. Your "Hunting Game" should be some kind of repeatable quest where you get to hunt Rogue Exiles. Killing them would complete the quest and give you a reward.

Hmm well, they could be some of the preys I guess o.o... Though there should be many more as well......too bad the idea doeasn't seem to have the reception i was expecting :c

Reminds me of the Bounty Hunt system in FFXII. Sounds like it could be a fun minigame.

Haha, guess you know the "completely unrelated offline game" then XD.

Though the idea came more from the 80 rare game (...was it 80? can't remember XD) rather than the bounty hunt, but yap.

You requested I take a look at your idea. I think it's a good one. I added it to my list:
