"proper" endless mode

[Brids17]

Not sure how many people would want something like this but I've made so many fun decks that weren't billion point hand decks that the game forces me to stop playing with too soon. I'd love to have a mode where the ante only goes up slightly, allowing you to play for much longer after ante 8. For obvious reasons, you wouldn't be able to unlock things in this mode.

Sounds like what you're looking for is a way to keep playing the game after a loss, essentially.

I don't think it would make much sense for the game to have an easier endless mode with slower scaling, because then we run into the problem of how fast / slow the scaling should be, which everyone's going to have a different opinion on, but I can see value in having a way to keep playing with a round after a loss. Like a free-play mode kinda thing.

I mean, for the ante to go from 7.2M to 300M, it's clear that's meant to kill any run that isn't seeded or insanely lucky. There's an achievement to reach ante 12 but not anything further than that. It's clear they specifically want the runs to end at that point for most people and most decks. I just don't see why it needs to suddenly scale in massive leaps like that for an endless mode.

I agree 100%, endless is simply pointless, pun intended. But you will have the fanboyz say get gud or whatever. I have beaten everything dif but the gold and that is almost impossible with the game in its current state. Its not about getting gud it is about rng, all about the rng. Also the only hand that really matters is flush, which makes this game about poker kinda pointless when it comes the poker aspects. No one builds a deck around full houses or four of a kind because you would be dead way before ante 8.

God bless

That's something I don't get either. Why would they want you to end the run eventually. Let the player have fun as long as they want. Let them go ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Like in Risk of Rain. That game actually lets the player have fun.

Furthest I've ever been is ante 13 and my best hand in that run was 1.2billion, I don't think I'll ever make it to 14 so yes I too would like them to scale a bit slower

I think having a lower scaling mode is something to consider that said.

This is flat out wrong. First of all the bind thing in collection only stops having changes when you get past ante 15. and getting past 12 is most certainly feasible.

get gud. Every ante past 12 is over 100x the previous ante. I have reached ante 19. That means I beat blind 18 that was 3.3^21 the blind of ante 12. and no I did not use plasma.

it is quite fun to chase for the NANINF build tbh.

That's why I said "most" and not "all".
