Optional twist on boring old dungeons

[Sylkis]

The idea is that you can preform a party and increase the difficulty and reward on any dungeon.

At the start of a dungeon, the party leader chooses "rules" for the dungeon in exchange for bonus tomestones on completion of the dungeon. The amount of tomes you obtain depends on the popularity of the choice (this could be how many times you have chosen it over a time period, or how popular it is on the server).

The restrictions and rewards should be significant enough to be worthwhile, but not make the mode mandatory. You can have as many rules as you want at once, but choose at least 3. Some rules I have in mind are:
-No AoE healing
-Trash mobs start running away in the direction of the boss room on low HP
-Trash mobs learn random skills
-(Most of the) Floor is lava
-Random divebombs and twisters
-Random 2.0 (lv50) raid boss replaces a boss in the dungeon, scaled down if the dungeon is not lvl60

Each rule should start at say, 30 tomes each and gradually go up if they are not popular choices.

Pre nerf twisters in satasha please.

I'd love for there to be random bosses from other dungeons that randomly spawn and drop rarer loot. But I like this idea too

I really like the ideas presented here. I'm all for having extra rulesets and random combat encounters in dungeons. This'll be especially nice for dungeons that need to be farmed for experience/tomes. I know it's easier to just run the same exact thing over and over again, but that sort of grind can get really boring with the current system. Adding extra rules to keep players who want a challenge engaged would be great.

Can we have a mode that makes every boss Titan? (crumbling platform included)

I'd love some of these. Especially random divebombs and twisters! And raid boss replacements!

I think dungeons need more randomness to it. Every run is the same. I think the number of mobs, strength of mobs, and special HUNT mobs should be added to dungeons.

funny thing wow is doing that for Legion expansion for challenge dungeons:

I like this basic idea and I already made a similar topic. This can be found here:

But I don't like restrictions that forbid the use of certain skills (as "no AOE healing").
