I would like to suggest to mix up the spawned Monsters while exploring the clockworks in a mission or in the arcarde.
Each Monster spawn has a Chance that there could be Monsters spawning that usually do not belong to said spawn. Like in the Black Kat Event: a black kat could spawn instead of a normal kat by a certain Chance. To make things interesting, this said Chance should be much higher of course.
Harmless variant:
The harmless variant of my Suggestion would be to get (by chance) a random Monster of a random Status type instead of the usual Monster.
Therefor you might do a Jelly King run and get a Zombie or a wolver instead of a Jelly somewhere. Think of this System as opening one of these monster boxes whose contain any random Monster. Of course Monsters will only be replaced with other monsters of the same Tier.
For some reason I suggest that this should not affect Tier 1, so new Players would not get into horrifying situations - otherwise... well dont new Players have normal weapons anyways? What do you think about that?
Evil variant:
By a certain Chance, a big Monster (or for more chaotic fun: any Monster) has a Chance to be replaced with one of the Event giants.
So you may get an Event-Tortodrone or the Harvester instead of a Trojan or a Giant Lichen (dont let those lichens Combine anymore - you do not know what it will become >:D). The candidates for this Exchange would be: Tortodrones, Harvesters, Black Kats, (Margel, or would it be too OP? well maybe as a random Boss Exchange and not as a normal Monster replacement :D), those Giant Toxoils, those Giant Gremlin Flamethrowers, Pumkin Kings, Phantoms, Grimal Kats (they will not respawn after you got rid of them once)
Monsters whose got spawned like this will *not* drop their respective event-loot but a nice amount of crowns, mats etc like normal Monsters. Also Monsters that usually do not drop loot (Harvester) will drop loot in this case.
The evil variant should be engaged mainly in Tier 3, maybe in Tier 2, too. What do you think?
Q: Why no Event-specific loot?
A: Because this Suggestion is meant to be a fun gimmec and it is not the time for these respective Events. It is not meant to be as Extended farming Chance.
Kind regards
