Dungeon Vote #4: Elements

After choosing the tileset (ruins) and the type of gameplay (balanced) for our user-created dungeon, we now ask you to decide on the general theme, which will also influence the types of monsters that you will encounter in the dungeon.

So which theme do you like best? (For more information see the related News article!)

VOTE STATUS: CLOSED

Non-Elemental (Undead, Orc, Brigands)

41 %

Elemental B (Air, Light, Darkness)

You like storm, feel attracted to the pure, the holy and the deadly, or you prefer places where death lurks in the shadow? Then pick this option!

38 %

Elemental A (Fire, Water, Earth)

Fiery spirits or Nagas and other sea creatures or wild animals are your thing? Then these are your elements!

This is so vague. I voted for B only because I'm remembering the Spirit Temple from OoT...

Arrrrgh they all sound good! :)

I voted for B. They all sound cool, but I think a light or dark theme would be pretty unique.

B. Scary shadow elementals please. Or holy demons maybe? Sunny vampires? Angels of darkness? And air... Quest about black evil wind 0_o

Oh come on, for the last few votes it getting harder and harder to choose:)

I actually chose C. I suppose the idea of humanoid cultists or tomb robbers seems more interesting (if mundane) than the supernatural/magic choices. Also undead could be for me a natural inhabitant of such a place. (Like a undead wizard or priest and his servants) However, I think all of the choices could be interestingly done.

Why don't can to have a mix between A,B and C?

on the blog post(which describes the options a bit better)
B sounds the most interesting. hard choice though.

They all sound good. I voted B. Would be nice to go into the dungeon in holy light, and the further down you get, the darknes takes over :D

How come most of the comments I'm reading saying they voted for B (like I did) and losing in the poll?

~What? Me worry?~

I voted for Option C. This option represents the purest sense I can think of when thinking of a classic computer role playing game. Unfortunately for me, I can already tell that next week I will be faced with a crucial choice! I have equal amounts of love for both haunted/undead and thieves/brigands.

Personally I like choice C the best. Although all of the choices look pretty good.

I was somehow torn between the idea of "Earth" and "Dark". Went for B just for the reason that it was less easy to imagine.

C seems the most “logical” to me. (I know that this is a Fantasy game so our-world logic doesn’t HAVE to apply.) Having Water and Fire Elementals in the same “Dungeon” OR Light and Dark ones (groups that should be antithetical to each other) just “does not compute” to me. Also having Elementals in “ruins” doesn’t seem “right” to me. I have always thought of them as Nature-type beings. (Air in the clear/clean sky, Earth in unpolluted soil or caves like in 8. Water in/near streams, lakes, rivers, or oceans as in 7. Fire in volcanoes.)… Or is this another incomplete-information vote? Once we pick one group will we then be asked which of those classes we want?

Hmmm.. all seem to be good, B is most mysterius and my choose is B. But you could add some orc/goblins/bandits at the begining of dungeon. So it be more fight before entrance deeper to dungeon when we will have some riddles, misterious enemies and powerful artifact of shadow/dawn.

@Ericcarver: as explained in the related news post (see the link I posted above), right now you're voting for 3 categories of 3 different themes each. Regardless of the category that is selected, the Dungeon will not have all 3 themes at once. There will be a second vote to pick 1 theme among the 3. For instance if the Fire/Water/Earth dungeon is selected, next vote will ask you to choose between Fire, Water or Earth. I hope things are clearer now :)

I voted for "C". There is nothing better than destroying a group of skeletons that have you surrounded!!!!

C for me, as I thought it sounds more like a classic dungeon

I choose C because throwing a fireball or some spells towards a swarms of humanoid monsters are one of my favorite parts when playing M&M. If the targets are not of humanoids, they will hide around all corners and I have to kill one by one....that would be time wasting and annoying.

Strange vote because all variants are good to choose. And they should be in game

guenthar1

July 08, 2013 02:06:06

They should mix it where the top level would have cultists and below that is a place that the cultists won't go which is a pit of fire with fire elemental creatures. Beyond that though is a place that can't be lit by ny flame, a place of pure darkness that will require magic to enter or you will be taken my the darkness.

Oh no, zombies are leading! Not this again, I'm sick of this undead hysteria in every game and movie around!
Voted B, fits these ruins the best.

Hard to decide, i choose C option, but i'd like to see all versions.

its all depends on dungeon ,,, i hope they will be many and different , with various creatures ,,,

Deathman_Kenshi

I vote for B option

It would allow for interesting puzzles which would fit into theme
Like intersection of light sources

Hidden doors which are open only when in darkness/light or navigating by smell (like it was once done in wizardy series :))

Neutral dungeon and creatures is too generic to be option if you want something really unique as reward for all those open devs :)

Maybe I`m just being naive, but I get the feeling Limbic is really making a true Might & Magic game, so noone needs to worry about lack of dungeons in MMX as a huge open world with tons of dungeons is what the Might & Magic series is known for. In fact this is one of the reasons I love the series so much.

As for my vote this time around I chose A, because I remember in one of the past Might and Magics there was a really cool Naga/ water dungeon, and I`d love to see such a dungeon in MMX.

Deathman_Kenshi

July 09, 2013 16:08:30

Also creatures which can be harmed only in lit area or in darkness for added challenge :)

Agree it's a bit vague to decide. But as Air Elemental friend I voted for B.

Selune002

This questions really frightens me.
It's starting look like there's only one dungeon in the game, going against all i love in latest games in serie - a variative world with large different areas to explore. With elemental dungeons, light and dark dundeons, barbaric dungeons, castle-like dungeons, pirate dungeons, insane mage dungeons, and many other, each time different, dungeons.

hari76

I voted for C because I prefer human enemies!

Ishrivan

July 11, 2013 03:25:51

Option B. I'm not sure how Air will mix in with Light and Dark, but I think there is suitable potential for the most dangerous and dastardly villains. If done properly with climatic buildup it could be most excellent. In the end, I felt that option B would feel like the most ramifications if we passed on the dungeon, and the greatest rewards for risking our necks.

Frankyliu

I voted C.
I think some priests doing some rites and controlling some mystic elements in a ruin is not bad. Of course it would be best if those elements shows over the clouds (like Dark side of Xeen) or in hell if we can go those place.
Orcs and goblins could have their own place such as a habitat or a barrack at a grassland. Ghosts could show in any tomb or gave (and ruin, of course). Brigands could live in any place suitable for human living such as an oasis; Or even they control a whole town.
