CRAZY IDEA : Meteorite Tractor Beam

@Xaldafax

For me when I look at the meteor event I see it as overall something that wasn’t needed. It came about because of monster hunts as some other way to deliver Oort. At first that seemed to make sense but now as I see how it was implemented and other things I don’t think it is the only right way for Oort delivery.

I can agree the meteors are ok as something to have in the game but I feel that we need more combat work across the board and not just meteor events. I think we need to flush out the Hunter role and other Group Combat activities in a much more robust area than “tweaking meteors.”

We need different things in the game that engage people much more on various levels. That I believe will bring back many more people (or keep people) in Boundless than just tweaks to meteors. Basically more systems…

On that, we agree.

I would still be way more involved in hunts if the tractor beam thing was there, but I do also agree that it would be nice to have another thing to get oortstones.
Defending bases isn’t my thing. I’d be afraid of having people wrecking blocks. Though, I don’t know the actual suggestions, maybe that’s been adressed there.

HOWEVER, I would totally be opened to Dungeons.

What if there was a feature that allowed us to get in a Sanctum-like zone where we can go in creative-mode and create a dungeon, and submit the file to devs. They look at it, and if they like it, they make some tweaks (adding creatures and loots) and they add it to a list of possible dungeons.

Meanwhile, on live, players could open special warps using a new token as cataclyst to go to these dev/player-made dungeons! The token would bring you to a random dungeon.

THAT could be super awesome.
In CV, there are two blocks that could totally be interesting. One is a creature spawner, and the other is a loot spawner. Though in CV, the ‘adventure-maker’ has to provide the loot of creatures/chests.
Still, things like that could be super interesting in Boundless.

Make it so you get a niiiice chest at the end of a dungeon, and you have a new way to get Oortstones, and the community could play an active role in either the creation of these dungeons, or in playing through them.
