the next area!

[superss]

i know... an underwater volcano!!!!!!!! the fist few levels are water themed and than you get to the lava! for the level cap item set in there you could have chaos items... a mix of water and lava in a frame... well its sounding more and more random lol im sticking with the volcano...

[azulflame]

I'm with volcano and rocks, and an thinking the sun god at the top of volcano. can summon kamakazis, like goblin king, and maybe a one-hit KO would be tricky. but to do that, you need to make the best drops in the game. new item class: black. you know how AO3 bosses drop purples with a chance of pinks? make the sun god drop pinks with a chance of blacks. but make him ultra-hard for those items (maybe in an elite dungeon, but just wanna get my idea out there)

This would be pretty cool. Maybe the final stage of this ultimate map would require you to defeat every boss and associated map enemies in all the previous maps (kind of like large rooms that are minimaps of the other stages). It would be of course nerfed for drops and level adjusted. Kind of like the final boss in Chrono Trigger, if any of you guys ever beat it/played it.

[noneo]

An apocalyptic area would be cool as well. Rubble everywhere, and electric sparks coming out of the wall that can damage you (act as fire traps do now). Could be either zombies, or disheveled survivors of the near-apocalypse as mobs.

Or how about the idea of an alternate universe. For the boss level you would have to fight a recreation of your party. And the regular guys could be like evil birds bears and mages

[icantgetkills]

well theres a giant dragon and a giant octopus on the map

[Ersana]

Oooooh how bout a mystical sky land where like you fight in the clouds and some new weps could be like lightning bolts

I think the main problem would be the ammount of xp you need for level 56. If they make a new world, then either two things will happen:
1. It will be level 56-60 (perhaps an elite level 61) for all players with the gap between 55 and 56 the way it is now. That would mean all players need about 83k xp for level 56. It would kill the game for most of the players.
2. It will be level 56-60 (perhaps an elite level 61) for all players with converted xp. If you reached level 56 it will be converted to let's say level 60. For most players it's still a long road, but more acceptable. If they do that then all players who are level 56 won't have the opportunity to get level 57 and 59 drops.

Personally I think there won't be a new world and all development is put in new content for current levels and Blackstar. But if they do make a new world an underwater volcano sounds good.

B) Shark Skin Cloth LV 57

Edit/addon: they might make a new elite area like Shadow Caves just for level 55 and up. Or two

[Duke]

When they raise the level cap, they will make the xp to level 56 in line with the normal pattern. They've already said this. If you're between 55 and 56, you'd be set the the same percentage.

[RueMorgue]

Jungle. Big bad apes for bosses, monkey minions, poison dart boobie traps, (too indiana jones-ish?).
Perhaps find artifacts, tablets with spells to collect and enhance items...but actually make them better. Or have shaman bless or curse an item.

[Hayabusaz]

Squirrel towne. Of course.

lmao that one made me laugh man, nice one !

+10 !

[Hayabusaz]

Oooooh how bout a mystical sky land where like you fight in the clouds and some new weps could be like lightning bolts

Awesome !!!

[Klemen]

You cant avoid the obvious...
