#Random Illuvial Trainer battles in OW

In order to make Overworld more lively and fun to explore, what about adding random encounters with NPCs "Illuvials Trainers" that could challenge the player to an Arena battle? ⚔️

The reasoning behind this is that many engaging games use these kind of random quests/events to encourage the player to explore the environment : in Pokemon we would all explore the world to fight the trainers we could find in our way, in the Witcher I would explore all the taverns to find the last standing Gwent player to complete my collection...

Also, this could be a very nice way to reinforce the links between the Illuvium games as the trainers could reward the player with D1sks when winning battles. We could also implement gamification elements for finding all the trainers hidden in OW, and barriers to entry for higher level trainers like "I will battle against you only if you possess X illuvials / Illuvitars of that type" encouraging the player to level up and come back later?

There should be a cost in energy to engage with trainers in order to not give out rewards for free and keep the battles challenging. 💸

This idea will take some efforts to realize as it would mean:

  • NPCs appearing randomly in OW regions
  • Arena battles against AI
  • Rewards and completion scores
    ...

But overall I think it would be a very nice addition to the OW game in the medium term, what do you think ?? Atlas_Love

Probably doesn't fit in with the lore. I highly appreciate the idea but at some point I think we have to trust the team and see what they come up with. We should propose changes after we know how everything is going to work imo.

lorewise: a dimension collapse or merging dimensions that causes other player's ghost to spawn in ur overworld in which u can battle

Returnals /souls vibes. Face the ghost of a deceased ranger or other former inhabitants of illuvium and their illuvials
