Nightmares Caught in the Dream Catchers

Postby Heaxx » Thu Mar 15, 2018 9:41 pm

Since the beginning of Haven we have all made dream catchers to get dreams for curios and hearth fires. But with every dream comes a nightmare.

I propose that when harvesting a dream catcher there is a random chance to harvest "A Horrible Nightmare" instead of a beautiful dream. This would work
in context with the catcher as there original purpose was to catch bad dreams in its web.

"A Horrible Nightmare" would be a rare harvest curio like a death's head chrysalis but less common.

+1 good idea for a curio, maybe rare chance to get one, not like a weird beetroot.
Good idea!

I just wonder whether the devs could make some composite curios where your input could affect the final LP count (if you use the nightmare instead of dream, higher lp/hr curio).

Old suggestion ('horrible nightmare' was suggested for criminal characters) with a new twist.

Problem with it as a rare curio: it is quite easily farmable (way easier than golden eggs, and people have done that).

Rare does not mean that it would be good!

Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.

Neither do figuratively and literally.

+1 to this idea, but i think it will be much more fun, if when character release this nightmare (in same way as beautiful dream), instead of exp event chance for free, he will be attacked by appeared abomination (or some horror creature), and after character kill it, he may get another exp event (let call it "Overcome ur fears" for example) with more exp reward.

A variable buff system for curios is something I have considered.

We will probably do nightmares/dream differentiation at some point.

Bad Dreams!

Postby Ardennesss » Thu Apr 09, 2020 4:00 pm

We have dreamcatchers, why don't our hearthlings get nightmares if they don't sleep near a dreamcatcher? There should be a chance when sleeping if not near a dreamcatcher for a bad dream to spawn a nidbane that aggros you as soon as you wake up!
