What if there was a raid for dark souls 1, 2 or 3?
It would drop you in front of some massive large entrance, you would get your team together and would have multiple raid mechanics like wrath of the machine or Vault of glass...
4-6 man teams
Such as players having to spread out and stop special enemies from reaching plates, or obtained in special unique weapons.
Difficult bosses with new innovative mechanics.
Special gear that could only drop from the raid.
And of course the painful difficulty we live from the souls franchise.
It'll never happen but just a fun idea.

That could work

Interesting idea but since Dark Souls is based around being a singular undead badass and actually punishes you (not severely) for hitting those summon signs I feel like purpsefully throwing in content built for 4-6 players is counter-intuitive to what the gameplay was meant to be.

They would also need to add a healer role into the game or at least make estus unlimited with a 5 sec CD. It would be fun but the gameplay of the series limits the possibilities.

Chalice dungeons

No, this would go against all the ways the game was designed. It would be horrible.

Edited by shell: 10/14/2016 6:14:56 PMWell, then we'd need healers, and I'm one of about 4 clerics I've ever seen, so I'd rather not have a bigass dungeon. [spoiler]Side note: Why so few clerics? I can get over 600 AR at level 80 as a cleric. I can two-shot most people in invasions.[/spoiler]

Would either be tuned to be impossible with the inability to res people and the fact that the boss would probably one shot you or entirely too easy like the rest of the game the moment you summon people.

Always wanted something like this in souls

Gods, I would hate that so much. #1 reason I quit Destiny was those flippin' raids. Sure, they were fun if you could get a good team, but most of the time it was just a bunch of people trying to cheese their way through whatever they could. Unless you're playing an mmo, there should [i]never[/i] be forced coop in a PvE game, imo.

Interesting idea but something I'd never try to do with randoms
-
Dear god no.
-
That would be amazing since dark souls has like the best bosses I've ever seen.

Doesn't sound likely. Dark souls is all about the solo experience. Sure you can summon others to help if need be. But that's not what the game is about
