Are these things possible in quests? Jul 25, 2014 17:54:32 GMT

I'm considering putting together a proposal for a set of daily quests (thematically speaking, a colosseum where you can participate in a small number of quest/events of varying difficulty once a day), but before I figure out the details, I wanted to check whether a number of things are possible to do in quests, either currently or through new code someone's willing to add. If any of these are too annoying to add, that's totally cool and I'll just design around not having that option, so just let me know - this is pretty much just a brainstorm of things that *might* be useful to do in a colosseum-style set of dailies (or for that matter in some new one-time quests).

-Quests that are able to be completed once a day (repeatable until you win, then wait tomorrow)
-Quests that are able to be attempted once a day (one chance a day whether you win or lose)
-Gold rewards from quests
-Choice rewards from quests (i.e. take your pick of one of these three cards)
-Quests against random-deck opponents (e.g. something where you fight 3 commoners in a row)
-Quests against a random deck chosen from a list (similar to how mages work)
-Quests against a random deck chosen from a list but it's the same random deck for the whole day
-Quests against a random deck chosen from a list where it tells you ahead of time which one it is (think FG oracle predictions)
-A gold cost for attempting a quest
-Having HP not reset between multiple battles under the same quest (IIRC this already exists, just wanted to double-check)

None of these are currently implemented, but most doesn't seem too hard.
Personally I believe that daily/random quests should rather be implemented in its own system different from (but similar to) the current quest system, since it would work differently from 'normal' quests.

One thing I was thinking along this line was, rather than having the colosseum be a region on the quest map, have a colosseum button/icon or something (ideally with the word "daily" in its name or nearby or something) off to the side of the map in the quests that would then bring up a list of events, along with their descriptions and whether or not they were still available for the day. It would work just fine with it being a separate button on the main menu, too, if you'd like that better.

Is it possible to have the player's deck not reset when going on to the next round? Could be another fun colleseum option.
This could be very fun to give the player something like a "Demigod Gambit" where they play as the demigod but have to fend off several AI's without their HPs OR their deck resetting (cards in hand could get recycled to deck as well).

For added fun, AI's with SoBr and innovation could be thrown in... just to make things tricky :

Not the easiest thing, since each game is a new game object so anything kept has to be serialized essentially, but very much possible (also the deck itself is still an array of strings, unlike hand, so it can be copied without fixing owner references)
