Daily "challenges"

[Henry]

Has anyone actually had fun with the daily challenges yet? I've found them to be extremely specific things that require an insane amount of focus and playing an extremely specific way. I have not been enjoying them at all. They're incredibly beyond difficult for me.

I've only played the dailies for the past 4 days, I only really liked daily where every gun had an element and randomly blocked an element for a room.

I don't know what it is about this specific rogue-lite game, but it just doesn't have the same feel as others with dailies. So like Monster train, or Isaac. Their dailies just have a certain feel that even when they're weird they're really doable and can be enjoyable. But for whatever reason with the way this game operates it just doesn't feel the same. One thing I was trying to figure out - do they lock the meta progression for daily updates? The one yesterday felt like I had no boosts from meta upgrades.

Ive enjoyed a few of them. I like the ones where everything gives you momey for buying/upgrading and picking up scrolls/goblets. But every 30 copper u have youe get 1 less shield then hp. Some are harder than others but i feel like choosing a certain character could make each one easier. Just havent been able to spend enough time on them. But im working on it for the acheivments.

My first time in i thought i was gonna have to do all three stages like that and was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ myself. Then found out its just the one stage and whent and cleaned myself up.

Is it always one stage only? Whether it's first zone, second zone, or third zone? Because that would make a huge difference. The one yesterday I thought I'd have to do all 3 stages and couldn't bring myself to suffer through it for that amount of time. But if it's only one stage then maybe that's not nearly as bad.

[Beaumont]

Yeah. It chooses stage one. Two or three. Then you plays through that area till boss and then your done. Was a big releif for me.

I have 5 dailies done but I don't have the achievement for completing 5 different dailies :T pretty sure they've all been different

Did you do today's daily? I swear it's impossible. To fight Yoruhime Maru without ever getting hit by anything just seems impossible. I barely got him to his first invincibility phase. I've yet to complete one.

I truly find these to be an awful addition. In every other rogue lite it's a set run with a set rule. This is just RNG machine because you can reset and get different skills/weapons that best suit the situation. Just plain not fun with a very poor implementation. I hope they do something to fix this.

today's is garbage. unless you get the perfect set up you can't do it which is kinda how it feels for a lot of them. I had few close ones today where I got to the boss and then got hit by something that I didn't even see and died. I've done the past 4 days after a couple attempts but don't think I will be trying today's anymore.

[zimbuzki]

I got to the boss, then died once, and was revived by the daily buff, had triple comeback, died again, no triple comeback anymore? Yeah, the last boss is way harder with this, as he does bs attacks and can hit you if you are not super careful.

I think i've done this daily when it was the first or one of the first dailies, but it was in the terracotta ruins and was pretty easy. But I've tried it today for 2 hours and just can't beat it, I always lose my first life by some random snipe or 100% of the enemies have a shield instead of 20% of them.

[Palmon]

I thought the economy one and the vampire one were pretty fun and easy, but after a few attempts at today's I think I'm done. Rooms completely filled with enemies with damage shields is manageable. A random nihilation monk teleporting into me and killing me instantly is not. Getting three ascensions at the start doesn't do anything when all the offers are based on having shield/armor or repeatedly damaging an enemy that always dies in one hit.
It's just frustrating.

[SkyCrane]

I used the new lightning character and tried to buff the passive damage trees. I got to the boss a few times that way cause chain lightning would just kill everything right when they spawned but I couldn't beat the boss after getting there like 4 times in a row.

Same, and I would've tried to beat the element one if the poison status didn't slow you down so much (and I like using cat grenades)
