Any sort of meta progression?

Aside from trinkets and classes.

I thought that maybe loot was stuff we could earn to maybe build our characters in certain ways.

I don't feel like I'm progressing at all trying hard mode bosses, it seems like it only counts if you can beat the area boss and I'm stuck on one, so I haven't unlocked anything it seems.

There is a whole list of gear sets that you unlock as options through the achievements you earn in game. Those show up in future runs. You get a lot of them pretty quickly by just downing bosses.

You can unlock most things just from Normal or even Cute mode; almost every unlock has a threshold of boss kills at any difficulty for it to unlock. For instance, you can unlock one of the classes by beating 8 bosses on any difficulty.

But nothing for character builds prior to starting a run.

Which of course is fine.

Mainly asking because grinding out gear and leveling is part of why I like MMOs, on top of fights with raid mechanics.

I feel the thresholds get a little bit too high for doing that sort of thing in Easy and feels like a chore to see them. Not even a few unlocks into Hard mode, stuff starts requiring like 30+ boss kills... That said, it's not that difficult to just hop on multiplayer with some friends and tackle hard! The mechanics are fun~

But then I'm not playing on the difficulty I find most fun. Wouldn't it be better to allow upgrades to be unlocked via a number of bosses instead of just area bosses? Even if it's 2x the amount or 3x.

Sorry for doubleposting but it already works via regular bosses instead of area bosses.

Are you sure? I'm 100% certain that I killed more than 7 bosses as I've attempted the dragon boss like 15~20 times now, but the game says I only killed 7 bosses so far.

I assume at the current time some enemies just aren't counted. I've done multiple runs with my friends on normal difficulty that passed through 2 or 3 areas including one finished run and it says that we've only killed 6 bosses so far.

It's only Area Bosses, so as far as I can tell you can only get 4 "Boss Kills" per full run.
