What do you think of this mini-game idea?

For the Dark Crescent Mod, as some of you followers know, there is going to be a bunch of maps released, many of them being minigames, and things not related directly to the RPG.

Since MarSara is working on the memory scan, and you will be able to save (even on multiplayer) without a password, you can play map-to-map and the mini game maps will allow you to get new items and what not.

Now onto the mini-game idea...

A HUGE (256x256) map full of teleporter pods, each time you use 1 of them (there will probably be over 500) a value is stored into memory, once you are done teleporting around, all the values are added up, and through triggers it will find out what you do, you can play on different modes. Normal, Gamble or Hard Core.

Normal - all average items, no chance of getting anything rare or unique.
Gamble - From the crappiest items to some of the rare ones, and a certain chance of you losing whatever you gamble (HP, items, gold, etc)
Hard Core - All items are available, you have a chance of dying, losing random items, losing cash, losing EXP. Lots of bad things, but a chance to get the rarest items.

Item count in the DCM is over 5000.

The Normal/Gamble/Hard Core system also uses 50% of your "Magic Find" (Yes similar to diablo II, needs to be renamed - thinking of something like LUCK or something)

There is a very complex algorithm that runs the entire map.

And yes, if you get a rare item, you can save the game and go play the RPG part WITH that item.

What do you think of this? It's very unique.

I'm confused as to what the actual minigame is. You teleport to random places and random stuff just happens to you? Why couldn't you do that with 1 circle of power that you stand on which triggers a random effect? I don't get it :P

It's like a puzzle, you need to find out the combination of teleport pads in order to get stuff. The order in which you teleport determines what you get.

Couldnt they memorize it then cheat?

so you cud have ur skulders ile and you contriction rings and have ur 350 luck :ggani: ahh the joys of d2 having my 900 magic find sorc, made the game really cool thou, im sure it will make ur map really cool too:D

You could memorize it, but the combinations are huge, and there can be some sort of random aspect too. I actually didn't think about that....

Well, u should, Lots of people like to cheat, and its not fun when they do.
