Less random unique generation?

<< < (3/3)

It could be adjusted, that high-end uniques spawn on Spider Lair, and low-grade on Hell Arena champion or Chained Court. It would make more interesting (wanma uniqes? TAKE RISK!)

I second that. Also - at least one place should have a guaranteed random unique.

ParaSait:
I agree with this idea. What about you also make it dependant on your general achievements in player.dat? You must've had at least X kills in total with a sort of weapon, before a unique of that sort starts spawning. Just an idea.

EDIT: Thinking of it, IMHO my idea only would be even better.. Then you actually kind of "unlock" spawning of certain uniques, rather than letting some higher mind place it for you, who observes which is your favourite weapon :p Also with my idea only it would still keep the variation in uniques... Now it would be ONLY pistollikes, ONLY shotgunlikes, ONLY chaingunlikes,...

EDIT 2: The bad thing here would then, if someone in general ALWAYS goes for a certain build, he's got about the same assurance, that wouldn't be fair either :S
Bah, I'm just thinking out loud you know :)

Gosh, PLAIN NO! NO! NO! <smashes non-random type unique generator lovers skulls with Gothic Armour). Please, leave it as it is. Please!

Yes, in a sense I do agree with you either... Kornel's idea would be kinda cool, but on second thought it could take a serious bite in balance, and also the "ooh I hope I'll like it" part will be gone, cause you're always sure you're gonna like it... You know

Zi:
If every unique was nice enough that players would be happy finding them no matter what build they were doing, then this together with totally random unique generation would be truly ideal.  Right now only a subset of the entire group of possible uniques work with every build (special armors and boots, missile launcher, pancor jackhammer, etc), or are good enough to encourage players to change their builds to accommodate them (grammaton, assault shotgun, etc), so finding the uniques not included in such lists leads to disappointment.
