So, lets hear 'em. What are your ideas for Nephalem Rifts, and/or Rift Guardians?

Grimiku.... I have a feeling of déjà vu....But here goes anyways. Quoted from myself in a prior thread on this topic."I have some brainstormed ideas for rifts that might be found enjoyable by many players, but some might not be realistic so please feel free to say so if that is the case. I also haven't gotten to play any rifts yet (haven't quite beaten Malthael yet). I'm not trying to complain about anything just throw out a few creative ideas I had that might be fun in rifts.-% chance to spawn a second rift guardian upon full clear of final rift level-% chance for a rift level to spawn "all mobs have a specific champ/unique affix, excluding cc affixes. Affix strength would scale with mob quality (i.e. white mobs would shoot weaker laser beams or mortar shells)All mobs would have the same affix but it would be randomly chosen-% chance for final rift level to spawn as FFA PVP Deathmatch (no permanent death in any mode but a moderate prize to winner-% chance for an entire rift to spawn as a "Mini Hardcore Event".Upon death players are spawned at town and cant rejoin rift (no permanent death penalty on Softcore)These might need to be limited to shorter rifts so that players aren't sitting for too long-% chance for final rift level to spawn as a throwback event from D2 LOD. Level terrain would not be randomized as the level would mimic D2 LOD Boss and Super Unique instances. (i.e. the final level of Baal dungeon, or the Final level of Andariel Dungeon, or the Council Members arena, etc.)-Include re-vamped D2 LOD tilesets in the selection pool, so you can end up in a rift level that lets you play against throwback mobs-Include in the champ and unique affixes throwback D2 LOD affixes like elemental resistance and immunity. This might need to be scaled based on party size since it would be no fun to run into an unkillable champ in solo (although skills could be swapped around)-% chance to spawn a rift level or an entire rift as a intentionally unbalanced bizarro world where mobs and skills are changed randomly.(i.e. Mobs have 50-100% more life but deal 25-50% less damage, or the opposite. Or all Skills have +/- 5-15% to damage/resource cost/cooldown The % change would be different for all skills so balance would be totally wonky for that instance and force some interesting playing with skill selection-% chance to grant all party members one o-skill for an entire rift. Skills would be randomly chosen potentially different for each player. For resource spenders the resource cost could be 0 but the cd could be increased by a percentage"
