Horror Dungeon

Could it be possible to have a dungeon that is meant to be scary or creepy of some kind?

Music is ambiance, not a song.

Everyone can only see a few feet in front of them. Force the group to stay together otherwise the encroaching darkness pulls them into the dark and party member gets killed by a monster that can't be seen. Don't give a timer on how long you can be apart to add to the scariness.

Have lots of puzzle that that you quickly split up or something. Maybe have sacrifice a party member to move one temporarily?

Just something dark and creepy. Imply things that maybe you want us to think, such as maybe Louisoix grandkids really don't get along.

If the game is supposed to be a theme-park, where are the haunted houses?

EverQuest2 has The Estate Of Unreast which is exactly like this and very, very fun. It would be awesome to see a proper horror themed instance. While Haukke Manor is a whole lot of fun it does kind of lack the horror vibe.

Turn gamma all the way down. You will hardly be able to see a thing. Not joking, I used to have too low gamma and did a lot of derp cause of it, aggroing foes I couldn't see (I also have nameplates off) and not being able to see where I was walking (good luck finding the stairs in WP). Shame that darkness wasn't shared :P

But yeah, it was such a let down for Haukke, I expected a full blown horror dungeon and instead....nothing horror at all :/ The scariest thing I can think is WP the first times you do it when Tonberries are really a Silent Hill kind of monster for you...but dies soon once you get geared and experienced in it <.<
I'd personally like something ala Shivering Isles, with torture rooms and all and lot of madness...after all there's a lot of such lore in the game, but they seem to want the dungens more about fights then ambience sadly.

Bring back the phantom train from FF3?

Would be a fun mini-event at the very least.

gotta suplex that train

but .. but .. the stalkers in WP ;_;
Its such an awesome idea though. It got me thinking if the tonberry stalkers scared the hell out of me how would I do in a horror themed dungeon? lol!

If they made WP really dark and only tonberry lanterns the only visible light to allow us to see that would be a start. But WP would have to be redone to be scary.

Anyone use to play EQOA? The isle of dread was awesome and creepy.

The problem is once you get used to something it's never scary anymore. And we farm dungeons so..:/

Unfortunately true with any horror game. But if mobs were randomly generated along the way and noises, like making the "Ringo" noise creeping behind you. It could keep it entertaining for quite a while. Of course it would also have to have some good rewards to do again.

I think they intend to make a horror dungeon. Near camp tranquil there is a wooden doorway in the wall with a few revenants around it. I cant remember the coordinates but it seemed like a good sign to me. But I do hope they up the ante if they do put in a horror dung. Thinking like siren with the lights out can't see the crawler till it's on your leg 0.o

Total undead dung would be nice

The mansion from FFVII was always a bit scary to me especially when you went down into the basement. Oh wow... what a rip off... haukke is almost exactly like that mansion lol. I think they need to redo haukke for the sake of this idea!

While I like the idea from an entertainment standpoint, as I know many people who would like it, I just couldn't do it. I'm a wuss. I don't watch horror movies. There's a theater company here where I live that does a haunted house thing around Halloween, and I went to it once (you have to sign a waiver before you go in), and it scared me so bad that I almost had to call out the safe word and be escorted from the "show." Yes, I know it's just a movie, or they're just actors, or it's just a video game. That doesn't mean it's not going to give me nightmares later.
