Any connoisseur of beat-em-up games knows about the elevator level. That level where you are at a stationary spot but HORDES of monsters keep attack you and you have to fight em off. I was wondering, would that type of stage layout work for Diablo 3?
For example:
Imagine a level where you are inside a Volcano/On a frozen sea, and the piece of ground you are standing on breaks away. Even less exaggerated a level where you are on a boat or mine cart or something.
While you are on this decently large vessel, constant hostile fauna/demons assault you while you are on this and to facilitate the random nature of areas in Diablo you could land at various random points throughout the area for a different quest or have random types of monsters attack your or random bosses each time you go through.
I know this is something that may not mesh-well with Diablo's semi realistic nature but Its just a thought that would add some flavor to the level design of the game.
What do you guys think? Have any other level styles that you would like to see?
I'd like to see battles like if all the waves at the Throne of Destruction were happening at one time. Masses of enemies of various types, and you have to cut through them and use all your tricks just to survive under the crush.
It would be nice to see some sort of wave mechanic fight. I would be hesitant to ask for an elevator style fight because its just kinda cheesy. Reminds me of original nintendo games and what not.
all i want is the special cow level, i really like your idea though
Maybe a combination of the two where you can fight cows, chickens, sheep, killer pigs. hell anything is possible. i wonder if i make a petition we can get somethin going haha.
Kinda boring sounding, but a similar idea is to have like a city or something you have to defend, and you would have help from just little warrior (like the first area around Harrogath in Act V.) IF they tried it would be so dynamic, like you and 50 barbarian on a mountain with millions of demons charging at you, and like 4 gates to the city so you would have to think about it an not just hack, it would also give you room to manuvere so you don't just stand there, but the demons would have to be REALLY aggresive (like go into the city and kill the civillians aggresive.)
I know it's not going to happen, but a fun 'food for thought'; maybe a bnet mode that you play online where in the game all you do is take on hordes like you said with friends. Again, not gonna happen, but would be an interesting change of pace. I know there was a game (forget the name) at E3 this year that talked about such a mode. Might have been Gears of War or something along that lines.

I guess that includes you... Or does literacy not count?
Anyway... If there were such 'modes' for Diablo other than PvP, any sort of 'defend from a bunch of bad guys' would be welcome.
