Thoughts on New Game +

Hello! Let me preface with the fact that this game is fantastic, and afaik this hasn’t be really introduced as an idea yet.

What if you made a new game plus realm difficulty that was exclusive to players who had achieved some criteria like have a level 30 character or “completed the final quest of the game on at least one server”?

The overall value here is that this could provide a challenging experience that isn’t the crucible and has serious replay value. Some of these player builds on YouTube are hitting for ridiculous amounts of damage and clearly trivialize the echo knight fight, not to mention also stomping bosses in the plague area. Could that player base be a niche one? Perhaps, but this would be something I people would be interested in you’re busy with other projects.

Beyond the added difficulty, altered loot could make sense here too. For instance, maybe more embers/unique items/coins drop, or exclusive enchantments can be acquired here that come in the form of essence embers already possessing enchantments.

Given the game has difficulty adjustments for servers already coded, adding a new server where these are upped would, in theory, be quick to implement. The big difference would be the altered loot pools.

I hope that this provides an interesting idea(s).

I think it is too early to consider something like NG+ we have maybe half the game story and content wise if that. The rest only comes with 1.0 and I feel it goes against what they wanna create with the realms and a living world

I very much like the reward options you described here, and would love to see them added to some sort of endgame once the full game is released. More embers drop? Unique essence embers? Yes please! It would be awesome to be able to customize my items even further as a reward for something post-game (once the whole game is actually here)
