[Dojo] Wishlist brainstorm

[Xarteros]

Dojos are well-loved by many, but there's so much potential to make them more useful, central and awesome. Post your own ideas, or suggestions to improve some of my ideas

 

EASY

• Allow players to default back to Dojo instead of Orbiter
• Allow Orokin Lab window to open regardless of Armistice Status
• Add light switches (on/off) for certain rooms, or select spotlights for display areas (Temple of Honour for example)
• Make Arsenal station a decoration that can be placed like the Trading Posts, instead of limiting it to the Observatory.
• Allow transitions between Dojo and Orbiter without forcing squad changes.
• Allow Warlords to override the mandatory 2h countdown to destroy a room
• Make all map icons uniform. Either go with white edging, or grey edging, rather than having a mix of each.
• Allow old 'classic' dojo starter hall and other tiles to be rebuilt. C'mon, those were cool, they already exist on a functional level, and it'd let EVERYONE add more flavour to their dojo (including people who already have access to those tiles, but can't ever destroy/rebuild them)

MODERATE

• Add Foundry room or decoration to Dojo, allowing players to craft their goodies in the dojo.
  • Potentially add 'clan crafting' and 'alliance crafting', where you can craft public-access items for anyone with certain permissions to claim (allowing experienced players to assist new players with crafting items).
  • Add mass-production crafts of things like Air Support charges, Ciphers, health pads etc. Crafting in quantities of 100 instead of 10, for instance
• Add Breeding room for Kubrows/Kavats
  • Bonus points for allowing the trade of pets between players in the clan
  • More bonus points for allowing players to cross-breed their pets without needing eggs/genetic codes.
• Allow Warlords to send the dojo to orbit a planet, providing some form of boost to all missions on that planet
  • Could allow small squads of specters to be deployed, repurposing the research from the orokin lab
  • Might grant the Dojo vault an amount of bonus resources based on missions carried out on the planet by its members
  • Could grant a bonus revive to members, or more affinity (or affinity range). A ton of stuff could work.
• Add options for different statues in the Temple of Honour
  • Extra cool if you can take a 'snapshot' of your warframe in its resting pose, with its armour and syandanas etc, but all stone
  • Also extra cool if you can change the material of the statue, like crystal, gold, steel, wood etc.
• Add 'void gate' room that players can donate Void Traces and relics for, and allow teams with sufficient permissions to use them
  • Possibly even make a new tier of improvement for relics, where clan players can select one reward to receive a slight boost above the others of its rarity.
• More obstacle course stuff
  • Rotating lasers, sliding lasers, timed flame bursts/electricity arcs, target dummies that shoot for minor damage (like Loki's Decoy). Reverse-vanishing platforms/objects (that become solid once you move through them), switches to control certain things, ammo/energy/health resupply points, life checkpoints/respawn points, teleporters/jump pads
  • Bonus points for setting the floor to be an abyss, or a slowing surface. Further bonus points for being able to set gravity, or even create 'space' courses to be done in archwing
  • Also, reset the regular obstacle course on a monthly basis or something. The record holders all clearly used a glitch 😛
• Change room limit to reflect more on the size/complexity of a room rather than just treating them all identically. Making 100 obstacle courses is going to be much more data-hungry than making 100 hallway corridors
• Add corridor chaining, so that you can choose to 'fuse' two corridor sections together and remove the doors between them. At the very least, allowing us to 'lock' doors to the open position.

DIFFICULT

• Change the parent/child pathing system: either so it can update itself to designate new parent/child tiles, or so all the system needs is a clear path connecting each room.
• Implement system for room modularity. For instance, turning an Elbow corridor into a T corridor or Cross connector without having to destroy the room and rebuild it.
  • Also include ability to rotate rooms without needing to destroy/rebuild them.
  • Possibly even add the ability to swap a room with any other room of equal space, providing that it doesn't cut off access from any rooms (like swapping a large garden for a Temple of Honour)
  • Bonus points for allowing players to change ceiling light panels to windows and vice versa
  • Super bonus points for adding in some 'core' changes, like wall textures, floor textures/patterns, garden 'seasons' etc
• Add exterior meshes/textures for all the tiles, and create a joining skybox to allow more windows.
  • Utilise this to allow for Archwing usage around the dojo's exterior, possibly to make room for dojo-related events
  • Could synergise well with the above idea of having Dojos orbit planets. Players might have to periodically defend the dojo from enemy assaults, with failure to fight them off resulting in the dojo returning to the void and losing the bonus it grants to that planet's missions.
• Add copy/paste mechanism for colour schemes and decoration layouts between identical rooms (so you can just paste the same corridor decorations to each corridor if you want)
• Add clan Lunaro arena that can earn Conclave standing, and allow spectators to come and view
  • Bonus points for allowing certain custom decorations much like the obstacle course architect, to make each arena to feel a bit more unique
• Add Conclave standing for dueling rooms, and add larger dueling rooms for 2v2 or 3v3.
  • Bonus points for having modifiers like 'juggernaut' matches of 1v3, but with advantages to the juggernaut
  • Also add 'training' weapons that players must select from racks for the purpose of dueling, so it doesn't rely on who has the more OP weapon

I've got tons of other ideas, but I can't remember them all right now 😛 Add some of your own, or think of ways to improve my suggestions/ideas
