[DEV] Your best game progression

[onilink_]

Hello,
For game design calibration purpose, I'd like some information on your completed game stats.

When you finish the game, how many souls do you have?

Can you give me a screen capture of your weapons inventory?

What is the most frustrating resource to obtain?

[KatherineOfSky]

I played the game past what I would consider "finished"... meaning I took a lot of time to level up pets (some to max level, etc.) (I ran out of content long before then). To get to my current state, I played around 36 hours.

I have 84k souls.

Weapons -- I've attached a screenshot. I only kept the very best that I thought I would use (of the random weapons). I destroyed most of them, since I was playing during the time when the inventory bug was still present.

For me, the most frustrating things to obtain were monster drops. One of the LAST items I crafted, (even after the dragon sword), was the Leaf Sword. When the leaf sword was useful, I was too low level to hunt down the mobs. At end game, I farmed continuously for Rare Leaves & Strange Vegetal Matter... using the area as a pet training ground.... and it took hours and hours to get all the materials.

(Note that I didn't discover I could upgrade equipment until after I reached gold armor -- maybe put upgrade info in the tutorial?).

Other items that were frustrating -- chest-only food drops. I still have not completed the entire recipe list.

I also found obtaining items to craft the catalyst flasks were far too time-consuming to farm.... all those monster parts for a consumable item. In general, I made VERY few potions because of this -- mostly I just played without potions.

Also, gems are VERY rare when you take into account the number it takes to reach high-level gem shapes... and the inability to re-use gems for new spells. (If I messed up on a spell, the gem is essentially gone).

Some of the runes were a little frustrating to get -- I was specifically looking for Cutting Damage Runes, but kept getting all the other kinds. It would be nice to add a merchant of some kind who would trade runes for runes or something. (Maybe he could have a random inventory selection of 3 every 30 minutes or so).

1) I am not going to post screens because... Honestly I am too dumb to create and upload them...

2) I got myself the upgraded golden sword and upgraded golden armor (with upgraded I mean with those dragon scales)

3) I have about 100mil souls

4) I think those sacred feathers are the most annoying items to get because you have to grind so much of those enemies and they are so hard to really hit...

5) I have got about 2-3 of the latest tier runes

I have got about 30h in this game. I needed about 15h to get me to killing the dragon down in hell and the last 15h I was grinding those runes and experimenting with my "coding-skills".
It can be that my soul stats are a bit out of normal because I experimented also with soul drops
but I think without that I would have got about 1mil souls...
I really have to say that even grinding can be fun in this game but personally it's a bit too much mostly for the runes when you want to really have the high-end armor :P

Thank you ... Cthulhu? Nice nickname!

Hi

I have full T7 dragonscale Armor, 5 Legendary lv7 pets , and some t4 Runes with 68hours

The most hard (annoying) to farm was runes

[Mr. Fibble]

Runes are by far the most annoying thing to get since they don't seem to be tied to a specific mob or biome for a specific rune.

To run with that idea drop rates could favour zones like snow for ice runes, dungeons for shadow, desert for earth, forest for regen, hell for fire etc. Other runes could drop at the same rate but would let the player focus on what they want slightly more.

Thank you @Phée, what is ~ your souls count?

@Mr. Fibble
For the runes it's normal. The game is not completed so many mechanics to obtain runes don't exists for the moment.
You can post your game stats btw to help the futur and actual game calibration :)

Wrote out a whole thing, but messed up with the screenshot, so I copied my whole comment to repost, but i went full r*tard and copied the address for my screenshot before paste-ing the comment. So here it is drummed down.

About 1.8m, had like 20m but died a sh*t ton farming mobs.

I don't really keep swords, my Pheonix swords are pets for passive damage, and the Leaf sword is just an upgrade project for something to do.

I mainly keep Gems and Rings in case they prove useful.

Dragon scales. Takes too long to find or earn they for the meager amount you get. Only like 4-5 Hell chests in each hell biome, and then it's only a 1/2 chance you'll get like 3-5. Fighting the Bone Dragon, had an even less chance of finding Scale, or even getting an near even amount. Maybe get like 1-2 after you beat it, even though it's a dragon.

Thank you @BloodyBane !

I beat the last boss for the first time just now and I re enter the portal to see if he was still there or something and ended up beating him for the second time aswell and here's my screenshot:

I have all the swords and I don't find minerals that hard to come by.
I keep everything in chests.
I wish the hell's boss loot was better, but in all honesty I don't see much wrong with the game other than the lack of content which I know that you guys are working hard at.
I hope it helps, love the game!
Edit: I have 20 hours in the game.

Hope you read this :)

I've been playing this game for 43 hours so far (very addictive)

Soul counts= ~480000

i would like to answer your last question... the most frustrating resource to obtain are runes... after a quick calculation we would be required to gather 4096 runes of a specific type to get to level 7!

I hope you guys can nerf this in the next update. As it stands right now it is very difficult to upgrade swords and armour to improve our chances in defeating current bosses.

Without being able to upgrade runes past level 4 i don't really have enough incentive to continue playing this game in its current state as i've ran out of things to do.

Love the game though and can't wait for more features/quests to be added.

Keep up the good work guys.

Thank you @2d0x :)

@St34lthM45t3r.
For the runes you are not supposed to exceed the level 3 in this part of the game.
Do not forget that there are many zones which were not integrated, with better rewards.

Thank you :)
