The biggest problem with Diadem is that it has a map. Once you explore it once, there's nothing left to explore. Instead Exploratory missions should be more RNG based with its landmasses. SE really should make an algorithm that just generates random maps, this will give us near infinite replayability.
Diadem needs to be more like minecraft

I agree. That's a great idea.

That's what I thought they were trying to implement from the beginning. I was wrong, sadly.

It doesn't even need to be like that. Imagine if they made islands presets and every time you run into diadem you got random islands.
For example they can make:
-15 Rocky islands (miner)
-15 Forest islands (botanist)
-20 Small islands
Every run would be different as the combinations between them can be very diverse and you can even rotate and place them in random places so every run would feel different even if you have seen some islands before.
Then make it so you need to explore the map every time you enter the Diadem (it can be an objective exploring all the map) -

Anywhere that I have seen prec-gen content that was in a 3d nature it has had a very very long development cycle. They would probably want to make random adventure 4-mans with the same kind of engine.Quote:
