Finishing Touches: My map design [Cancelled]

Is it possible for unique bosses to have Phylacteral Link? Would be good IMO.

Also make it lvl81 map and give a modifier like "area loses 1 level every (1 to 3) minutes".

I'd imagine it might be better to substantially increase the damage/exp granted by monsters but decrease the pack size.

If I'm to lose all vision, I think I should feel like I'm being hunted by dangerous predators instead of slowly creeping through a minefield of devourers.

This is the original atm
Map will be out probably around act IV
Bold is what I'm changing and stuff!
The very first design was not very liked which was understandable so this is the second version and I'd like your opinions on it!

Thanks.

For what reason is this Map not named Umbra Totalis?
Other than that, it's a troll map that could definitely be fun to die in.

Huh? You want me to add a Additional EXP modifier?

A lot of people don't like devourers :_;

devourers are my fav mobs. im not joking because they add that intensity to maps. plus i laugh when some girlish (gl)ass cannon dies to them and QQs on forums (or about those charan's bears)

btw stop posting on these forums and go celebrate new year u n00bzers

Your map would be the PERFECT Torment League map.

3 ghosts will spawn with the 3 bosses and possess them.
1 ghost will spawn with the final boss.

''Fear is everlasting'

The ghosts would make the bosses incredibly hard, and since it would be random each time, each map boss encounter would be different.

So. Burn Prolif?

You could do something like Whakawarua Tuahu did (sorry if I misspelt it) and also change the damn devourers into the ursas (since it's a forest, there are trees, they are plummeting - make use of the stuff you have). Spiders are cool I guess.

Looks cool, I_No. A level 78+ map with a guaranteed Unique drop would probably need a drop table to go with it though - it would be disheartening to get a really low level set considering the challenge.

With the mob types and damage modifiers, it is unlikely to be useful as a leveling tool (ala Untainted pre-nerf) even though the XP will be pretty good, so it needs to have a bit of a pay off.

If I was going to make a suggestion, I would probably check with the devs if it is possible to make an individual unique drop table for each boss, but only make the last killed boss drop the guaranteed unique (maybe 1 or 2). That way you could try and tailor which boss you kill last to make the unique drops more valid for your build or planned builds.

e.g. the Spider Boss drop table is based around melee uniques, things that would really help out a flicker build.

Is it going to be a Straight Run map, point a - b kind of thing? Or is it going to be a little more open plan?
