Some Random Surprises

It would be great to have some random portals leading to undisclosed locations. There are a couple already. But I'm thinking of having them on "dead end" location streets that don't get very many visits anymore. Something to lure people out of the home streets & routes. You might wind up somewhere you haven't been in months. The lure of the unknown.

  • You can do this as often as you want.  Just pour a Door drink at the location of your choice.

  • Thank you, WindBorn. I have never used a door drink and didn't know what they were used for. For some reason, I thought they were used at locked doors to get through without a key. Duh.

  • +1000   I would love to see random surprises on the streets of Ur!

    It is the unpredictability of the home streets that make them so appealing to me. More than the resources, it is the element of surprise that makes me want to stay in the home streets.

    By comparison the streets of Ur seem so completely static and boring. Most of them are exactly like the streets on either side of them and they never change from visit to visit. There just aren't quoins big enough to lure me into that kind of tedium.

    For me it is not about the resources it is about the fun, the uniqueness and the novelty. The home streets excel in these qualities and the streets of Ur have very little.

    Seriously, why does the tool vendor always have to be in the exact same spot? And the crabs? And all the stuff that spawns? It is boring to have the same stuff in the same place on the same schedule!

    It is not enough that some people drop or hide things here and there. Surprise should be built into the game.

  • Love exploring and finding hidden secrets.  Still working on some of the already known ones.

    I do hope the Giants imagine some more secretish stuff.

  • I am huge fan of secret spots and unexpected portals.

    I would also LOVE it if quoins spawned in different places every time, both in the Ancestral Lands and elsewhere in Ur.

    That would make it harder for old hands like me to scoop up the good'uns so reliably, and would make exploration more of an adventure and more enjoyable to repeat.
