Board Thread:Challenges (NEW BOARD)/@comment-25278478-20141005153635

I'm quite bored right now, while I'm waiting for my lunch to properly cook. So, I'm making a suggestion on how Challenges would be implemented. If you're too lazy to read the entire wall of text, there's a summary at the bottom. Feel free to offer suggestions, alternatives, whatever.

So first off, obviously, you would need a Challenge tab in the Main Menu to select challenges from. The Challenge Menu could be set up in a tile fashion, to make it more compact. It could also be split up into "sections" to split the challenges up into groups AS WELL as allowing the selection of multiple challenges, one from each section.

As an example, there could be selections like:

-You may only use [insert weapon] -You may only use [insert item] (should only be one of the freely obtainable items) -Your max health is set to [insert number] (SET TO, SPECIFIC WORDING.) -Your move speed is set to [insert number] -[insert zombie type] does double damage to you -Misc challenges section that any combination of which can be selected

You could select a single challenge from any "section" for a stacked reward. The reward could work 2, or possibly 3 ways if you count the last idea (will be introduced later). You could either add a hard-sum of money, ie $100, $150, $80, etc. OR, you could give a reward multiplier, which would be more fair in my opinion.

As an example, rewards could work like: NOTE: All reward amounts are an EXAMPLE.

Option 1: Hard-sum reward

-I select the "Use only Bat as Weapon" challenge, upon winning as a survivor, I would receive $200 -I select "Use only the Rambo Knife as Weapon" challenge, upon winning, I'd receive $80 (it's quite easy to survive with only a knife, I've done it by accident quite often when I forget to equip a gun while changing equipment) -I can select multiple challenges, like "Use only Bat" for $200, "Max HP set to 30" for $500, and "Movement speed set to 15" (default is 16) for $50. This would reward me with a final lump sum of $830 for surviving with only a bat, 30 max HP, and a movement speed of 15.

Option 2: Reward multiplier - my preferred option

-The reward would be a multiplier to the round survive reward -"Use only Bat as Weapon" could give say, x1.4 to the end reward -"Movement speed set to 15" could give say, x1.1 (Speed 15 can easily allow you to get killed by regular zombies, don't underestimate its difficulty) to the end reward -Together, you'd get an additive x1.5 to the reward, the amount of money you'd get would scale with the round difficulty. It's far more difficult to survive EXTREME difficulty with only a bat then it is to survive EASY with a bat
