The normal shop: Have a second tab of inventory. Put one grey item of each type you have unlocked in the tab. If you buy a grey item from that tab, it is immediately replaced by another of the same type.
The special shop: Expand the shop to have one item of each type that you have unlocked. Base stat rolls should be guaranteed to be 350+ here. Cost enough as is.
The weekly challenges: Eliminate the 5/5 completion bonus. Give more gear-coins out for each individual challenge completed to compensate.
Shared progression: Add a shared stash where you can deposit items, currencies, and crafting materials to transfer to other characters.
Mission terminal: Remove the difficulty setting on missions. Have a range of missions and secondaries as there currently is (eg 9 or 10 missions) with an random selection of secondaries and modifiers. Allow players to pick the difficulty they want for each mission.
Rewards: End of mission you get a guaranteed reward. Rarity of the item has a chance to be higher based on difficulty (difficulty 1 = grey, difficulty 5 = up to yellow). Competing secondaries, killing monsters, killing demonhost raises your chances for getting a higher level item.
Crafting: Add in the rest of the options already. Having one of the property slots âlockedâ? Yeah, donât do that. Add a âtemper weaponâ option where you can spend coins + materials to raise the base stats, eventually letting you max it out.
Premium shop: Award Aquilas for beating missions. 1-5 for Malice and below. 3-7 for Heresy. 5-9 for Damnation (or something like that). Allow purchasing exact amount of Aquilas. Slowly release all available cosmetics in back log each week. Rotate which items are on a sale at any given time.
This is a much needed dopamine hit tbh. We should also have loot dice and loot rats again⌠could just reskin a burster, make it jingle, throw a green glow on it and profit.
I had a thought where killing monsters/demonhost would give your team a âtrophyâ they could pick up that would give the extra bonus to the end game item. Could have some weird loot rat equivalent that also drops a grizzly trophy.
I think it would be better to guarantee a reward on level up, then enable over levelling like VT2. This would already incentivise higher difficulties due to higher XP gains, and generally solves more issues more elegantly.
Bosses should just dump a pile of crafting mats on you.
Iâd agree with basically everything listed save encouraging people to engage daemonhosts, unless tweaked on difficulty 4 and 5 theyâre basically 2 instant deaths, itâs honestly better to just backtrack to keep their spawn closer to cleared areas than waste time and ammo fighting it.
I think if theyâre going to insist on an RNG shop, just make one of every weapon available at all times. Assuming the crafting isnât a total mess, that would at least make it less painful. Not good, but less painful.
I agree on basically every point except for encouraging killing demonhosts - The point of them is to create a dangerous thing you wont want to fight, incentivizing killing them works counter to their design.
Oh this one, especially this one. Even though Iâm not against a full group doing a tier 1 speed run, itâs when ânewâ players end up getting dragged in to these groups, when the ânewâ player experience gets tainted and often leaves an overal bad experience.
Iâm not a new player, but Iâve had my brush with this with low level class and you donât want the ânew player experienceâ to be, if you canât keep up, your left behind type of gameplay in a co-op game.
