Hello, it has been a while since I've played the minigames in RoM. I don't have an intense amount of gold and I could actually use the stats, but I can't get myself to do them. I simply don't do them because they are boring, repetitive, and not challenging. The last time I did minigames was 3 days before and after chapter 5 for gear. Before that, it was months, just for those reasons.

I suggest 2 changes/updates to bring back this once, fun and challenging part of the game:
- Add New Minigames
- Add Difficulties to Minigames

Difficulties:

I'll use charts to describe this part as examples, and I'd even be doing a lot of the brainstorming for Runewaker.
Note in the charts Easy difficulty will be what it is currently (with tweaks).


Goblins




Course of Terror




Survival Game - This will only be feasible if the wand is taken out.




Ancient Treasure

* Number of Rings : The rings/layers in the minigame. The picture below is of the current setup. You can see that there are 3 rings currently. You start in one ring. There are 2 Ele. Candlesticks in the second ring. There is another in the third ring, which surrounds the chest room (which I'm not counting as a ring).

And to add to the fun, Legendary Titles for completing each one on Legendary.






New Minigames

I'd say after a certain point new minigames need to be made. Having the same ones for 20 levels is a bit much to take. I'm (currently) drawing a blank on specifics that I thought of before that would be fun. I'd suggest something to avoid damage or something. Whether that would be how long you can go before being tagged by an NPC (maybe make it a kid playing tag) or avoiding boulders falling on top of you for an amount of time. Maybe the opposite where you have to catch the kid or you get to throw boulders on top of someone as they avoid it. Am le tired as I write this. I'll edit it later with better examples.

Post a reply if you'd like to contribute to this or have questions. :_)

While it'd be nice to have minigames give more shells, I'm not sure how they would be more "fun".

It'd be more about the repetitiveness and ease of doing it. It's boring to me because I can simply run through all 4 of these in a total of a half hour (and have been able to since level 60.) I do COT in 5 minutes, Survival in 8, Goblins in 5(?), and Ancient Treasure in like 1 minute flat and add travel time. With these, I'd actually have to think and would challenged. In Goblins, you'd need a group to do the ones around your combat level. It'd be like a mini-instance almost. A big bad mini-instance at Legendary.

Not to mention, it wouldn't change anything at all. Endgamers would stilll blaze right through it, so all you are asking for is more rewards.

End gamers would blaze right through Easy and Medium. I doubt they would blaze right through Hard. They wouldn't blaze right through Legendary. Take Goblins for example. You have 30 minutes to kill 4 level 80 bosses. But first, you have to get through level 80 mobs. Anyone who did Gobs at level 50 will tell you that the mobs in gobs aren't a joke when they are around your same level. At level 80, we might be able to blaze right through legendary. But by then shell gear is going to cost 450 shells to get.

Id prefer them to fix existing content instead of making new content.

Here, I thought minigames were existing content. :O

I just have one question, would you be able to do more than one difficulty a day?

No, otherwise you'd be getting too many shells per day.
