Bring Dungeon Back!

What about note fragments as a reward? A random chance to get a fragment for each type or non specific fragments and you just need more frags for the rarer notes. Maybe a 2x2 or a 3x3 crafting recipe or a way to trade them in via a villager? This would stop the notes prices being dropped as easily.

 

Allow me to explain exactly what dungeon was and why it ruined the economy as it was.

• Gameplay

In Dumgeon, you would run through a series of tunnels composed of stone brick walls, dirt floors, and leaf doors you could break. It was filled with zombies, skeletons, slimes, creepers, blazes, and witches. In certain rooms, you could find chests that just break when right-clicked. They would drop random items, all dependent on luck. There were basically 2 ways to play it.
1. Wear solid diamond armor with full enchants, and just tank through hoping you don't get killed by another player.
2. Wear nothing; sure you died a lot, but you could run in, grab loot, tp out.

• How It Ruined the Economy

Simply put, it generated a lot of rare items. Some chests would drop emerald ore (valued at $1500 Meebles each at the time), diamond armor, gold ore, etc.

• How It Could be Implemented Better

Dungeon was very fun. It is one of the original reasons I decided to check out towny (to store my loot). I believe it can easily be added back without destroying the economy. Instead of dropping items at random, it should have the same map, but have loot rebalancing. In my opinion, if it only gives mob drops, and "special" items like enchanted iron armor (at best), it could make new players feel like they can make it on the server. Before you all start saying this would kill the iron market, let me just remind you of two things: iron farms, and it's iron armor, not something that can only be made of iron.

 

This breakdown sums up my +1.

 

All in all let's fix he broken stuff before adding new stuff that will also end up broken?

 

-1
Allows otherwise rare items to enter the world easily (emerald ore, diamonds, etc.)

 

Did you not read the comments?

If people could please read the comments before voting on an idea, that'd be great.

This wouldn't technically be new. The main coding for it already exists. The only modification it truly needs is the Eco-balancing.

This is an interesting idea. I'm not quite sure how this would work though, care to elaborate?

 

Wow! All of you people have such amazing ideas! Look at the evolution of this thought from a Noob who was bored and wanted to speak her mind

 

+1 for this alone, not bringing the normal dungeon back

 

+6

 

And that's your suggestion buddy, I was voting on what OP had suggested. I couldn't honestly care less on what you suggested.

 

Bear in mind that the comments often explain why certain flaws could be worked around.

 

The reason we got rid of dungeon was because it caused to much lag, was very inconvenient to incorporate into spawn/add portal to. And was always bugged out. We ended up replacing it with airship, which while isn't as good is still something and you pretty much get the same loot.

 

Imo if airship is the replacement then they should make it fire every 5 or 10 minutes instead of every 20.

 

For completing certain parts of the dungeon you'll get more/rarer shards which will then be traded in or crafted to create actual notes

 

they could make dungeon have a ton of achievments, like survive a round, survive 10 rounds, survive 100 rounds, kill someone in the dungeon, kill 1000 mobs in the dungeon, etc etc.

 

This is similar to what I was thinking. I liked the original dungeon, where you needed to go through a pvp arena to get out, where you needed to go through mazes and parkour courses, and where you can only get prizes once a week. Although, I do agree that a majority of items should be debuffed to not greatly affect the economy.
+1 for a redesign of dungeon

 

I spent a lot of time and lost a lot of good gear in dungeon. I miss it a lot. +1

 

Too true...

 

Dungeon was removed for devaluing materials and large amounts of glitches I bileive

 

+1

IMO, there should also be extremely rare drops of notes, and other valuable ores and items, like the ones found in the chests in wild. But they'd be extremely rare. Dungeon should just be a good place for players to get some basic supplies, such as iron tools and armor before they are able to support themselves. I don't think it should be a full income source that could get you rich.
