Colosseum

[Jonnycbad]

Some kind of Battle Arena/Colosseum where players in preformed groups can enter once a day or week or something, and have to fight through randomly generated bosses, like a boss rush. It would be similar to Roulette:Trials, except instead of 1 fight, it's a series of 5. HP value and damage output are adjusted and start off easy but then ramp up as you progress, with the final boss being as hard as the highest current content level. Every fight is adjusted for level 60, so that even if the first wave is something like Ifrit, the mechanics are the same as Ifrit EX, but the HP is a bit higher so it's not facerolled by i210 in 4 seconds.

Example:

Enter the Colosseum

First Boss: Shiva
Second Boss: Oppressor x1
Third Boss: T11
Fourth Boss: Titan
Fifth Boss: Gaius Van Baelsar

a second time you enter, the lineup might be:

First Boss: T13
Second Boss: Ravana
Third Boss: Leviathan
Fourth Boss: Amon
Fifth Boss: Angra Mainyu

Mechanics that require 24 people from CT raids would be scaled down to work with 8, and even though you are given 1hr to win, it comes down to ~11-12 min per boss, so it's really a full fight , though the first few should be a bit easier than the last few

again something with weekly lockout? D:

and can we faceroll the colosseum in 4 seconds with ilvl 250 in 3.2?

I think it will be easier if you just set it to the lowest possible item level for each one instead (like the current item&level sync feature). That way you don't have to keep updating the stats when you update (since it's going to be super cheap to rehash old fights).

Also, I don't see how this is appealing at all unless it gives as much reward as 5 trials or more. Maybe if you can guarantee 4 special drops (like mog whiskers if King Moogle pops) or something for each primal, it might work.

I like this.

Let's be honest, the climax of every dungeon and raids are its bosses.

No lockout. Just pure fun with maybe leaderboards on each server(add some sort of currency/tokens if desired). Maybe even a versus gauntlet where two teams compete against the same bosses at the same time side by side but on separate platforms(i.e. you see each other but can't reach each other).

FF7 fanboyness coming out but would be cool if they could introduce handicap roulette
e.g. Your ilvl is cut in half, cast times x1.5

No spells.
