I am enjoying the addition of warplans and like the direction it gives as well as the variety. While i agree with most on the experience gain being a little higher or the warplans being global, i think that we are missing overworld content in the warplans. I also agree like many that Legions and World bosses should have trees for them as well. Though i haven't thought of the trees for them.
I Propose that the overworld activities be added as a selection for the warplan and you pick one of the 4 each time as an overarching warplan addon (not in the tree but to the side). Then you can focus on skill trees for the 4 activities listed.
Cellars - Completing a cellar is quick and relatively useless compared to everything else. It sits there only for whispers. Ideally you add this as an overworld war plan option. Basically you get a region to complete a cellar - 1 single cellar. However the catch is in the skill tree. The cellar skill tree could have the following items.
- Cellars now have guaranteed events
- Cellar events reward double the items, experience, materials, (tree choice)
- Cellar events have a small chance to spawn an uber boss who drops a bag from their loot pool.
- Cellars now always spawn at least 2 chests (up to 10) containing gold and materials.
- Cellars can now spawn a resplendent chest, horadric chest, or boss key chest (tree).
- Cellars will spawn a greater resplendent chest upon completion.
- Cellars have a chance to be filled with goblins
- Cellar goblins can be (select a gobling type from a tree of choices.)
- Goblins have a chance to spawn a goblin bag of their type.
- Goblins have a chance to spawn a portal to Greeds Domain.
For the Strongholds - My proposed idea is when you select the stronghold option in the warplan the listed one would become “invaded.” This would disable the legion, waypoints , and make the town disappear if there was one. Invaded strongholds would have its own set of objectives to complete of a random set. This could include similar objectives that are in NM dungeons but can also be saving people, (escort), killing multiple strong demons, etc.
The strongholds tree would be
Invaded Strongholds now spawn hellbornes
Hellbornes can now spawn in doubles
Hellbornes can now drop a cache of weapons, materials, keys (choice tree)
Hellbornes will also assist the final boss.
Invaded SHs can now spawn a world boss (smaller varient except for Azmodan)
Invaded SHs will have merchants to save. These merchants can sell rare gear if saved.
Invaded SHs merchants have a chance to sell ancestral gear with at least 1 greater affix.
Invaded SHs will spawn hell worms at each objective.
Defeating a hellworm has a chance to drop obels, boss keys, charms (you choose)
3, Lord hellworm can now spawn when hellworms spawn.
Let me know your thoughts on something like this.
