Let's talk about: Game Difficulty!

Are you checking the correct shop unless something changed in the latest patch which it very well might have there should be a lvl 1,6,8 shop or something like that. The last one will basically only stock talent stuff while the level 1 will never or almost never have talents on the items.

 

Wait, I'm lost. I searched for the word "talent" in the thread I linked and couldn't find it. I would guess that when you say you "looked at those" you are referring to the Trait cards from that thread; but then, only weapons can have multiple-talent costs, so now I have no idea what's going on.

In any case, Wozarg's right about talent costs: the level 1 shop (currently called The Armory) won't require many talents.

 

With the latest patch the lower level shops only restock once a week. So no help there as it has the same stuff it did the other day. But even with the slowest of grinding i can get my characters a level or so by then.

 

With the way they described the shop system changes in the current build . . .

. . . the slew of small variations sounds to me like "We're coding for all possible worlds and testing to make sure the code works." The current setup is probably just an intermediate one, like much else is.

 

You feed that back!

( . . . Okay, it didn't work. That was supposed to be the tone of voice of "You take that back!" but of course you can't tell over the internet. Let's try the nerdier approach.)

But is the Feedback Arcane? Do you have to try to discard it each round or suffer damage the next?

 

That would make sense, but then you bump into that issue I mentioned earlier. Now that I'm at maximum level, I finally have enough gold to START affording expensive items. But when I was "earlier in the game," prices got multiplied when items were above my level, so I needed even more gold. It's a paradox of utility.

 

Might be a motivation for converting pizza to gold how each of us feel about that is is a personal matter tho.

 

It's also likely that things will be different once levels go up to, say, 50. More time for things to be "above your level."

And a bunch of this gold came from enjoying multiplayer. That gets you loot with no level-ups, after all.

 

Knowing the kind of player i am i will probably reduce my enjoyment to maximize my endgame by spending little to nothing on gear on my way up sadly.

 

Yeah but you have the level 1 weekly store & level 6 weekly store.
S you have the level 1 Rare Store that updates daily and a level 6 one (or how ever far apart you want to make them)

 

I proposed 3 day cycles to Jon for the 100 item stores feels like a good number and shifts the day that stores change.

 

I agree.
3 days sounds decent, and a weekly track for rare store to let the players grab some gold to buy what they need.

 

Weekly for rare? There's so few of those items... I'd cry if it would be a weekly

 

Indeed.
You will need time to have enough money for a rare.
