Allow me to start working on unlocking Star Captain after I've gotten the other three new classes.
It's really annoying to be able to unlock three new classes quick enough/naturally through playing, only to have the 4th class arbitrarily locked behind a significant number of quests.

I don't mind working to unlock things, I do mind working to unlock the ability to unlock something (which then requires further work).

I just want to play the game, and have fun with everything. I understand so many items are locked behind levelups, but that's fine enough - I just keep doing runs, and I'll get there. With the Star Captain - who knows how/when I might even begin to work on it.

I'm level39 and ascension13 at the moment. Either make the other three characters' (Clairvoyant/Chainbreaker/Godkeeper) unlock timings more spaced out, or let the Star Captain be immediately afterwards.

And why is that?

I've played the game, I've seen every boss, every zone, every character - except 1. Yes, there are a number of items to unlock - but, that's a different discussion altogether (and is fine). I'm level 42 at the moment, and working on more.

How long is a player supposed to play the game before being allowed to see everything?

Items are a bit of a wash topic because they add that 'one more run', 'one more level' reward structure, and keep things interesting; plus, while they can change builds, you're not able to rely on them - versus the fundamental core gameplay differences of the characters, which completely shift how you play a run from the get-go. You can't always rely on finding particular items, but you can rely on your character and their abilities.

Ignore Purple Sauce, they're trolling. The Star Captain and Derelict Starship are bugged right now. You'll never unlock them.

They should have unlocked shortly into the game, after unlocking the Aspect Apparatus and the character reshaper. You're well past that. Join the legion of us, patiently waiting for a hotfix.

It's fine the way it is because the grind is meaningful while not taking forever to do. It only takes somewhere around 10-12 hours, maybe 15 if you are just going slow to unlock all the characters. It's not even a good character FYI, it's a support.

Ah, thanks - had no idea that was actually the case.

Unfortunate, but at least I know instead of grinding my head against the wall trying to figure out when I'm supposed to actually be able to unlock it. <3

Uh, mine got unbugged and I didn't hit that quest line until around level 50-60. You claim I'm a troll when I'm not. Ever tried not being an a**?
