With the new class coming next week it will be even easier to reach the max penance rewards (5500 points iirc) and probably raise the actual max to well over 7000 points.
Thats at least 3 new pages that could be added into the game. Since its addition back on April 2024 it hasnt seen a new update, thats almost 2 whole years of content added with no new rewards.
I made this post after seeing the interview with design director Victor Magnuson and he said they read forums constantly and wanted feedback, so here it is
I know thats actually what Raisins brought up, but i think that if they ever add dlc stuff to the tracks it should be at the same tier as the pre existing ones. I really dont know what else they could add that is not frame fodder, ideally a new higher tier penance set, but at that point which % of the player base actually will get 6000+ penance points, so i would get why they wouldnt do that.
they literally datamined a recolor of the coat thats in the shop since its release that could easily be added as an earnable instead of purchasable, but oh well
Currently in the game you can get 6605 (with arbites).
We’ll see how many penances the hive scum adds.
Hive scum adds 6 exclusive weapons it seems (based off the deluxe skins). So thats 30 points for the mastery.
455 for the arbites part. If we assume the hive scum will have the same that’s about 485 points for the DLC class.
(Everything is also divisible by 5 so not sure why penances didn’t just give 1,2, or 3 points or something, but I guess big numbers feel better).
So I think the theoretical max will be something like 7090 (and there’s more classes on the way). Plus whatever new maps, martyr skulls, mortis trials and whatever else they add to the game as base.
I would for sure like the penance track expanded to include items up until 7000 but I get @Ragnarok101’s point about it requiring the DLC. Even at that They could increase the penance track another set to 6000 at least.
Or retroactively add things into it at the 50 point milestone vs the 100 point mile stone.
Just for the love of all that’s holy in terra please do NOT add more havoc penances. This was a mistake in my opinion and you don’t want casual players in havoc chasing it. Havoc should just be for the ones that want the extreme challenge. I am saying this as someone with almost all penances in the game.
There was a decent buffer to get the max points and still have some leftover, hoping they do that again. Some of the penances I just can’t be bothered to do.
