Herald Rework Idea

abdul569·Mar 24, 2017·2 votes·550 views

Upon killing Herald, it drops a 'void key'. It unlocks a void shop that allows the person that picked the key up to purchase an item out of a select few.

Each item will cost gold for components AND 1 key ie. only one item will be purchased from the void shop by one person (unless herald spawns more times).

The items will be relatively powerful to normal shop items, very gold efficiant and have a potentially powerful active/passive. (can maybe bring some of the old BMB items)

Thoughts?

When I first read this I had the notion that you would be able to get multiple keys but after rereading it I don't think it's a bad idea at all, maybe not a key exactly maybe just some void essence or something that gives the player that picked it up able to buy an item out of a select few.

The problem with this is that the item needs to be worth it, it takes up an item slot and if you make the item too strong then its too good. If it's too good herald itself becomes a resource that players will ultimately just to deny the enemies from being able to get. If the item isn't worth it, herald itself doesn't do anything except give you the option to buy an special item. In this case it becomes worthless again. There's definitely going to be a harsh need of fine balancing here but I do think its an idea worthy of merit.
