| Summary | 0007283: Distress Call or Rapid Response missions. | ||||
| Description | Related Thread: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,10403.0.html All the current missions, resource gathering, and construction tasks are all things that tend to wait until the player decides to go to them and finish them. This is fine, but as a result it does feel somewhat passive and I think it would be nice if there was some way to convey the idea of an active conflict. What if there were occasional missions that were very short term and very time sensitive, but had a high payoff? Say you're out gathering plums or whatever and then you get a message from the Guardian Ilari. "[Insert name here] has been spotted by the Overlord's forces and needs to be rescued!" Then there would be a very short lived mission that would show up in that area. There NPC running around outside there being chased by enemies or something, then go in and you'd "pick them up" just like in a rescue mission and try to get them out without getting them killed. Maybe suddenly you got a message from the Guardian Ilari saying "The Overlord is moving supply crates through [insert location here]". Then if you got there within a short amount of time there would be a stack of crates there with enemies guarding it, then you could destroy all the guarding enemies for some materials. Maybe there could be low but decent chance of one of these occurring every hour or so. Those are similar to already existing missions and missions that have been suggested, but the point is more that it would be something really sudden and time sensitive that the player would have to decide whether or not to break away from what he/she is currently doing to pursue it. | ||||
