I’ve been playing for about 30hrs and I just want to drop some ideas / thoughts that I have currently. I don’t think any of these are particularly crazy, but I’m not a game dev.
1.) Loot based on stat bias
This is probably the craziest change I could think of. But I would really appreciate getting loot that I could actually consider using. Too much of this game revolves around PURE, UNFILTERED RNG.
I think there really needs to be some kind of sub-system that detects what stats you’re prioritizing and increases the chances of getting items based on those stats. For example I’ve been using the “Malice” mace from the shop because I GENUINELY cannot find another maces. And for another example I have yet to see a single bow outside of the one you can purchase outright with the currency, and a single 2H mace that randomly dropped off a monster.
I just feel that if the game’s “vision” is to allow creativity it should be feeding me options as I play, and not leaving me sitting here with a single weapon I’ve been using for over 10 hours.
2.) The color of the Particle effect on item drops changes based on what’s inside
This is pretty straightforward. I just think it’d be great to see another color or a pattern or something to actually know if there’s something worth looking at. The colors could be based on “Tiers” of items. Maybe when a weapon drops it could glow… Orange? Idk, this one’s just me spitballin.
3.) Upgrades need to feel more meaningful
This is a REALLY personal gripe, but such a small one. I do not enjoy that upgrading a weapon (or armor) just increases a number. There HAS to be a more creative approach to upgrades. I don’t know at all what it would be, but maybe an extra gem slot at max level? Honestly I don’t know. Just feels a little half baked.
4.) Please allow us to change runes on weapons / Add descriptions to Runes
In a game built off of RNG, it sucks getting a weapon, putting a rune on it to try it out and then coming to the realization that you have to completely destroy that item to get that rune back. It just feels bad.
5.) Storage chest next to Market
Please. I beg of you.
6.) Compare/Upgrade Window
I mean, come on.
7. Training ground
Let us try weapons we find on a test dummy?
I don’t want to keep going, so I’ll leave it at 7. But in short, I REALLY enjoy this game and think you have an amazing amalgamation of ideas here. I’d just like to really see this “We value creativity / freedom” come forth more. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this. Looking forward to more patches!
